Windows 11

I've had two user accounts for my pc for about 4 months or so. Just recently, I changed the main alias of my Microsoft account to another address, and then removed the old one since it was gone (didn't know the password+no 2fa, nothing important was in there) Things went fine for a couple of days until today when I was going to sign in the user profile of this account, the thing you see before actually going into the pc, with the pins and stuff. Except for it asking me for the pin, it told me to sign in. I was thinking this was something normal as I changed the main alias and the email on the View the full article

I've connected my PC to my home WiFi, but it only shows "Connected, no internet." To troubleshoot, I tried running the Windows troubleshooter, updating my network drivers, changing drivers, adjusting network settings, and even restarting my PC and router. I also connected my PC to other WiFi networks to check if the issue was with my computer or just my home network. The internet works perfectly fine when connected to other WiFi networks, and my home WiFi works fine on other devices like my phone. The issue only happens when my PC is connected to my home WiFi, so there seems to be no reason whView the full article

I've uninstalled it a couple of times and my video autoplay would work but today, the update installed again and now I can't uninstall it, and I can no longer play multiple videos in sequence. I've reviewed the various autoplay settings and they all are on, but it still doesn't work. This seems to be another issue with this particular update.View the full article

Hey guys, is there any way to stop the new version from downloading? Since it starts downloading that version, my PC freezes a lot. My PC components are: RTX 2080 Super Ryzen 9 3900x 32 GB RAM. At first the installation stops at 97% and I restarted the PC because the other updates ask me to restart, but now it says "Downloading - 8%".The problem with the freezes is very random, sometimes it freezes 2 or 3 times for 5-10 seconds and sometimes my PC works great.View the full article

it started doing this a month ago and i reinstalled windows and it stopped for a week or so then started again with no ways around it. i have a ryzen 7 1700 cpu which came out in 2017 i dont know if that is contributing to it. i’ve tried every option on the blue screen and none of them work. system repair just says it could not repair my pc, i have no restore point, troubleshoot tells me nothing, safe mode cannot boot and uninstalling updates seems to do nothing as well. i also did check disk and repair files in the command prompt option and that didn’t do anything either. i have an HDD as welView the full article

Today 2/12/2025, I updated my Lenovo Yoga with an update. This triggered the blue bit locker screen. I made every attempt to unlock it but it will not let me type anything in. I tried to hard reset it by holding down the power button, and it keeps saying the same thing but will not allow me to do anything. I also had to reset my recovery email, which will not let me have the code for 30 days. This is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t know what more I can do. I have tried everything that I have read and nothing is working. I should have gone with a MacBook. View the full article

I have 2 ½ questions I’m hoping can be answered. Event Viewer logs reveals that updates are and have been occurring daily. However Settings/Update history shows there being only two since last October; KB5041585 on 10/17/24, and KB5041585 again on 01/11/25. Neither have completed, and the 01/11 attempt has caused seemingly irreparable damage. One of the casualties, was Windows Update. Neither my own attempts, nor any suggested fixes have been successful. I’ve since downloaded the update files post 08/13/2025 through MS update catalog (both .cab and msu), hoping this will get my computer runninView the full article

The only thing that showed up was what was in header.
