Windows 11

Hi, I'm on Windows 11 Pro 21h2, and I'm trying to update to another version by re-installing Windows 11, on this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 I've seen many tutorials, but every link I've used (mainly ISO and Installation Media) does it's thing until it makes this error. I don't think my computer don't have the requirments for this new version (it already has the old version), but I don't understand much about technology and this computer already had problems with Windows (it didn't recognized it, and I couldn't modify a thing until I sent it checked to View the full article

I am trying to setup a second touch screen monitor in Windows 11 but when I do configuration it starts on the main monitor which is not touch screen so I skip it. When it says tap the touch screen on the correct touch screen it makes the cursor move on the main screen not the touch screen with no interaction to the configuration window. How am I supposed to complete configuration when the touch response goes to the main screen and not the screen to complete configuration?View the full article

I Upgraded a Surface 5 Laptop from Win10 to Win11. The Docking Station now says "slow charger use a higher wattage charger" (Dell D6000) this wasn't an issue when the device was on Windows 10. Any thoughts as to what could've made this happen? I tried updating the docking station's firmware, and removing the drivers but to no avail. Any recommendations would help.Thanks!View the full article

This will be long (apologies). I have a laptop running Windows 11. I have an external hard drive which I use for backing up my data - a Western Digital 'My Passport Wireless Pro'. Unbeknownst to me, WD stopped supporting 'My Passport Wireless Pro' drives back at end of Dec. 2024. A week or so ago, after an automatic windows update, I went to backup my data to my Passport and got a message..... A security setting is preventing this driver from loading' Driver is wdcsam64.sys. Note: my backup DID WORK, in spite of this message. When I researched it, I saw something on Microsoft View the full article

Purchased a prebuilt computer from Cyberpower back in October and have had this issue since. When I open games like Rust, New World, or League of Legends(occasionally) it will either A) Freeze/Crash after a few minutes forcing me to turn the power off via power supplyB) Prevent me from opening any new applications, or start any new actions on the computer (Ex. If I have chrome closed I cannot open it)I cannot reinstall my windows because it does not let me, and I cannot download windows onto a boot drive to install it because it does not allow me, I understand the problem is likely my windows View the full article

How in the $%$$#$ do you turn off the 'hoover mouse over" function in Windows 11. I have avoided changing to 11 since there are always issues BUT I just set up a new Dell laptop with 11 already installed. When , after much searching, I finally tracked down a box for the Hoover function it was set as OFF (not checked) but I am still automatically sent off in wild directions every time I move the cursor using my touch pad especially when browsing (Chrome) Why did Microsoft break something that worked by making this an automatic feature and making it impossible to shut off?? Why cant users chView the full article

Hello,Our environment is slowly switching to ARM64 Architecture, and as an IT team here, we cannot utilize Active Directory since it's not compatible with ARM as far as we are aware. We have to create a VDI instance and use AD there, and it's counterproductive to what we need, but the battery life and other functions are what we are looking for in a laptop that's not named Apple.My question is, when will Microsoft allow AD to work on ARM64 Architecture and if there are alternatives to AD that we can utilize on ARM64.Thanks,Giuseppe DeFabrizioView the full article

I did an asus bios update that was well over due, 3 years old. It went successful.However upon restarting it says "Your pin is no longer available due to the security settings on this device. Click to set up your pin again."When I click. Nothing happens. I reinstalled windows last night but did the option that doesn't delete my data. Nothing changed. Will I have to delete all my data to log into my pc or is there another way so I do not lose my data?View the full article

How dare you withhold security updates to try to force me to buy a new machine? I have a perfectly good PC in excellent repair. I don't want windows 11, I don't want copilot anywhere near me, and I definitely don't want a new PC. If microsoft thinks that it can force me into dropping $2000 for a machine that does exactly the same thing exactly as effectively as my current machine they are sorely mistaken.Calling it "copilot-enabled". Fah! More like "filled with embedded spyware". This is a rapist mindset. Trying to force themselves on all of us. I won't have it. I guess I'll just have to spendView the full article

Hello everyone,I'm facing an issue with my system drive (C) unexpectedly filling up without any apparent reason. I have very little installed on the drive, yet it continues to fill up even though I'm not installing anything new. I’ve already tried searching for similar topics online and have deleted temporary files and cleaned the recycle bin. This only freed up about 7 GB of space.The drive has a total capacity of 128 GB, but only 27 GB of space is available now, and it keeps filling up, triggering notifications.Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve this?Thank you!System: Windows 11 HomView the full article

I used to love the phone link on my old windows 10 desktop, but not so much on my new windows 11. whether i am on my smartwatch, or buds, or wanting to use my phone in a call, my computer keeps grabbing the call. i want it as an option, but not a must for every single call. also, when i use that feature on the computer, the little box that shows up on the screen cannot be hidden, minimized or closed. i have to leave it on the screen and keep moving it out of the way. this will not work for me. so if i can't choose anymore, then i will need to know how to remove that ability from my computer.View the full article

I have tried literally everything to fix this problem. It has only been about two weeks that I can remember that it's been happening. I have tried all the other options I have seen on here. scannnow and everything. I have even went so far by uninstalling windows completely and reinstalling. The only thing I can do at this point to stop the restarts is by manually updating it every couple of hours and restarting it right afterwards. I'm getting frustrated because I have checked for even viruses multiple times and looked for this Searchhost.exe that apparently wasn't working properly upon start View the full article

I have software that the vendor will only support if its installed on Windows 11 Pro version 21H2. Unfortunately, we do not have a 21H2 iso and I cannot find this version anywhere within Microsoft's site. It can certainly be found in third party sites but that sounds risky. Any help will be appreciated.View the full article
