Windows 11

I am running MS Win 11 Pro Version 24H2 (OS Build 26.100.2894)This should be up to date.I set up a Microsoft Defender Offline Scan. It logged me out, rebooted, showed a progress screen of the percentage of files that had been scanned and then.....went to the login screen.Did the offline scan work? Was it successful? Did it find any problems? I have no idea. I've done multiple searches to try to determine whether the scan found anything amiss and have come up empty. The offline scan doesn't seem to leave any trace.For Scan options I see "Last Scan: Not Available"For Protection History it says "View the full article

My SCR 3310 Smart card reader has stopped working after the Windows 11 24H2 update I installed in December. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3525 and I am currently running the latest Identiv drivers. I tried memory core isolation and updating the BIOS without any effect. The Smart Card will work on other computers running Windows 10, as will the card reader, and all my USB ports work with other devices.Not sure if it is applicable but in device manager I get these error messagesFailed to get auth header with 0x8086000candUser Interaction Required whiView the full article

Hello, I am having issues resetting my PIN.When I go to the Sign-in options in my settings, it reads "This option is currently unavailable" under PIN. When I click on "I forgot my PIN" a Microsft account tab opens and there is a spinning circle. After waiting for a couple seconds the tab closes and nothing happens. This keeps happening over the course of hours and multiple resets and nothing changes. Thank you!View the full article

My PC has recently run into some CPU cooling problems. While I wait to take my PC anywhere for new thermal paste, I've been trying to do some software fixes. I try and "edit my power plan" to reduce the maximum processor rate (80%) and lowering the minimum (down to 5%) and it is no help whatsoever. Briefly, the plan will be equipped, but then give me an error whenever I restart my pc or turn it back on. It will say something along the lines of "no power plans are available" when I have an entire list, it just refuses to use one.https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/power-plan-informView the full article

I am trying to customise my lockscreen with a fresh install of Windows 11. This is a local private copy and I do not have any work / school accounts attached or associated. Motherboard - (Not sure if relevant) MSI AM5 MicroATX PRO B650M-A WIFI DDR5 Motherboard My account is an administrator. In a moment of sleep deprivation, I do recall selecting to apply an MSI theme as an add on option when installing all my drivers etc, but cannot remember what app it came from. I have a funny feeling the MSI theme has taken over and locked this down. I cannot find anything listed in the remove programs View the full article

I've had a windowed Bejeweled game from Big Fish for years. All of a sudden it opens to a blank square with the name Bejeweled in the top banner. See screenshot below. I've downloaded the game from EA and bought a CD which I installed. Both open the same way....blank box. The CD version will play if I maximize the game. A windowed version of Scrabble plays fine. The driver hasn't changed. Any ideas?View the full article

I have just purchased a new laptop, which I have named as IansLaptop. My old computer was named IANSLAPTOP. When I try to add a device, it still shows as discoverable as IANSLAPTOP. When I try to connect my Samsung S25 to my new computer, it pairs successfully, but then immediately disconnects - why? could it be the conflict with the computer names, or some other issue?Thanks, IanView the full article
