Windows 11

I just bought a new Dell Workstation partially because it doesn't allow a Windows 11 upgrade. This is the third upgrade into W11, and I have errors already.

Hi, dear Microsoft Support!My laptop was all fine with Windows 23h2, however, the day after my upgrade to 24h2 (the newest version), the screen start to glitching, like sometimes I change app but only half the screen change, when I move cursor to the part of the screen that didn't change, it glitches, and I must minimize the app and open again to fix that lag or wait for 5–10 seconds. That is very annoying. I updated the drivers, but it didn't help. I'm using intel Arc graphic.If you can, please tell Microsoft to launch some stable update... I think compared to macOS, they are really a little View the full article

As a result of the examinations, no other parallel network requests were observed. No coding problem was observed afterwards. Our Google Chrome version is up to date. We could not find the reason for this freeze. I wanted to ask if you have encountered a similar situatiView the full article

My speakers and microphone stopped working after applying an update on 12/14/2024. I have tried everything to get them to work. Unfortunately for some reason, I cannot undo the update. I have a very high powered laptop. I've been reviewing Internet forums and trying various suggestions for the last 3 months and cannot find any solution. I'm willing to pay for a support call but I cannot find a phone number to do that. All of the phone numbers lead to a recording. View the full article

The latest update to Windows 11 24H2 broke my speakers. I have spent hours and days trying to get them to work. I am an IT professional and have worked in IT for 40 years installing and patching operating systems.

Once under C:\Users\MyName, And another within my OneDrive folder also on C:\. I'm not sure, though. How can I figure this out, and then fix it, if so? One hint is that the size of my C Music folder is different from the same named folder in OneDrive.Thanks for the help.View the full article

I was playing Valorant with my friend, suddenly, my laptop blue screened, and restarted automatically (I didn't have time to read the error message on the blue screen because the blue screen display only briefly appeared on the screen, and immediately my laptop had restarted automatically). the last time I experienced a blue screen was when my laptop was still using 8gb ram, and that happened a long time ago, around 2023. and now since I upgraded my laptop with 16gb ram, I have never gotten a blue screen again (for reference, my laptop uses intel core i5-12450h, rtx 3050, 16gb (8x2) ddr5 ram).View the full article

Пишу с другого устройства. После ремонта компьютера возникла проблема с центром обновления windows и microsoft store. Магазин Microsoft работал 1 минуту, а потом надпись что-то пошло не так.
