Windows 11

Hi,In my Registry Editor underHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform the REG_DWORD value of InactivityShutdownDelay is set to 0x00015180 (86400) This makes the service run all the time, which is unnecessary, as the Software Protection service only needs to run occasionally to make sure that Microsoft products are activated and legal. I need to set this value back to its default. Any assistance will be much appreciated.View the full article

Hello, I have an issue that I can't find a solution for. I am writing a PowerShell script that will map on-prem network drives to Autopilot devices that become Entra Joined. The plan is to eventually move to strictly Cloud once we can figure out a solution for moving our on-prem shares and getting old school employees onboard. Currently, we are just planning on using Autopilot to deploy remote devices and use SSO to access on-prem resources. I have already confirmed that this is possible when the user connects to our VPN so the only setback is mapping the drives for the user. -----------------View the full article

Hello, I am having a lot of BSODs lately, with the error code: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". From my research on the issue, it may be a driver issue, and I think it may be related to another issue I am having with the wifi adapter. The wifi adapter keeps disconnecting from networks and says "Can't connect to this network" or doesn't see any networks anymore until I restart the adapter from the device manager or from troubleshooting. And it happens a lot that the driver just disappears and can't be detected, the wifi icon disappears until I restart the laptop so everything can go normal again. I wiView the full article

I get a BSOD and instant restart at random times whether I am playing a game or watching videos or absolutely nothing, I have disabled settings like instant restart, ran multiple scans, updated what drivers I could, reset my laptop twice and installed windows again, caught up with all recent updates for windows 11 and nothing works. I can't remember when this problem arose, I did have a dead battery before which was stuck at 1% charging and replaced it was still getting the error, replaced it again to see and yet I am still getting this issue. I have tried to get a complete/kernel memory dump View the full article

From what I've experienced so far this only seems to happen when I'm using my laptop unplugged. One thing to note is that it started crashing randomly after around 3 weeks of installing the 24H2 Windows 11 update. I'm not sure if the crashing is related to that but I might as well write it here. As I've said before, the error code appears as VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL. I've tried updating drivers and reinstalling them as well, but it doesn't look like it worked. Any help provided is appreciated.Dump file: 020725-25281-01.dmpSpecifications:Ryzen 5 8645HS W/Radeon 760M GraphicsRTX 4050 LapView the full article

WHICH WAS MY C drive... when i did this it stated that 2 users were connected do i want to do it anyways. so i did. My question is do i need to reinstall a fresh copy of windows? or can i just use recovery and basically wipe everything but keep my files . or is gettinView the full article

Pinned and executed programs on the taskbar now only show generic icons. That is SQL MS, notepad++, SolidWorks Network License Manager.Resetting Icon cache doesn't help. applying latest Cumulative preview update didn't help.Workaround is to set combine icons to never, which makes the taskbar look like trash IMO.View the full article

Hi, I have Windows 11 installed on my wife's laptop. It had a problem when Photoshop Elements 2020 was installed, it didn't like it and crashed out completely. I ran the Microsoft Repair and it re-installed Windows, and everything seemed OK. I have re-installed all her apps, and a brand new Photoshop Elements 2025. The problem I have is when I click on Start and then Settings, they do not open and I get the error message "Instructions at 0x00007FF834F9C003 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000010.

My work PC had it's main SSD corrupted when IT was trying to extend the drive. They swapped SSDs and reinstalled windows for me, fine whatever. It was incredibly frustrating having to reconfigure my development environment, but that all went smoothly. Since this occurred, and I had a fresh install of Windows 11 put on this PC, the mouse has lagged and stuttered constantly, making it near impossible for me to do my job, without getting frustrated and making mistakes because my mouse lags so bad. It's especially bad and noticeable when I click between windows, which I do literally constantly. HoView the full article

My pc is over a year old and since around October of 2024 it kept blue screening. I thought it was a driver problem so I updated and checked my drivers and that didn't solve it, it just made it worse. As instead of the usual 1 blue screen reason in a span of a few hours or minutes, from right as I have posted this I have timed 6 blue screens in 2 minutes and 23 seconds with multiple different reasons. Due to these blue screens it has locked me out of my account due to "repeated shutdowns". I don't know how to fix it and it only happens when I open something on my computer, if I sit on the screView the full article

HelloI have around 27 PCs on a site that intermittently experience software crashes a few times a week each. My software is a unity standalone build. After further investigation, it seems that many of these crashes are caused by 'System out of memory' issues. Looking at the event log, I got multiple Resource-Exhaustion-Detector events for low virtual memory condition. One of them is the following:Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: View the full article

Back in July I purchased a new computer just to use Windows 11. Now, I'm convinced that Microsoft is using us as free Beta Testers. But do they listen to us? I guess no. I have reinstalled Windows 11 three times and each time the problems are worst an worst.Now I'm trying to fix the access to my router USB memory. It's a mess. However, I have no problem using iPad, iPhone, TV's running Android, LG's webOS and laptops running Windows 10.Of course the method I use to access from my laptop doesn't work and after many trials in Windows 11 in Explorer I get multiple empty folders besides the real oView the full article
