Hello,I have been experiencing a recurring issue with my PC following the installation of the update "2025-01 Cumulative Update (Preview) for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based systems (KB5050092)".

Ever since I installed this and 2 other windows updates, my computer is whacked out. I can't get anything to open--not documents or pictures. I get a pop up error that says: windows cannot find c:\users\my username\OneDrive\pictures\picture name. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. I have also tried to open them on the hard drive, bypassing OneDrive. Also, when the computer rebooted, it changed the root directory name (C:) to Windows. I verified this in disk management. I uninstalled the updates, but it had no effect.In addition, the event viewer logged these errors within seView the full article

I just updated my laptop to windows 11 version 23H2, everything was fine and dandy until it started shutting down instantly after about 30-40 seconds no matter what task I was doing. I thought this thing only happens once but I was wrong, it happened every time. I later went back to a pre-update version and everything is fine now, I tried to update it again but no change, still had the same problem. Because of this I can't update it but I also don't want to completely reinstall windows or format the whole laptop. Is there a simple explanation and solution for this problem?View the full article

Hello, starting last week I have been getting constant BSOD errors, mostly all with system_service_exception.

I was recently hacked and had to wipe all of my computers and reinstalled windows 11. One thing I noticed there is a small (about 24-333 KB) of "UNALLOCATED SPACE" besides the System, MSR (reserved), Primary and Recovery partitions.I've installed reinstalled windows 11 many times before, I don't remember seeing something like this. I checked all of my computers in the house, and they all have the same issue.Is this common? or the hacker left something in these drives that I can't wipe it, even after I formatted the C drives many times and it kept coming back.Thanks!SD View the full article

I just upgraded to Windows 11 and while I'm already annoyed at the ugly rounded edges for my windowed programs, but for me the bigger issue is that I seemingly can't place windowed programs at the very top of the screen. Even if I line it up perfectly (on any of my displays, so that's not the issue), Windows shoves it down so there's a visible line above the program. Is there a way to fix this or is this just more buffoonery?View the full article
