I have a desktop computer with a wiped SSD (no system on it). I installed Windows 11 by putting it on a USB drive and booted on the new PC. At some point the PC went idle with a black screen so I had to press the power button once to restart it manually (not a long press, just simple press), but it seems to have gone ok.Now the Windows 11 onboarding screen shows up, but quickly asks to connect to the internet. This PC does not have a Wifi card. So I ordered a dongle (TP-Link AC1300 Nano Wireless MU-MIMO USB 2.0 Adapter), and plugged it in. It blinks green and I can select my router in the onboView the full article

I'm aware that file explorer has an option to sort by dimensions, but this is not quite what I want as sorting by dimensions sorts first by width, and then by height, meaning e.g. a 500x1000 photo has a lower rank than a 600x200 photo, even though the 500x1000 photo has more pixels. I'm wondering if there's a way to sort by total pixel count, i.e. length times width. Thanks!View the full article

After the last major update for Windows 11 24h2, my GPU in browser or other applications started to run at 0% utilization, although before this value was always more than 1% under any conditions. This has caused me to have throttle noise. I reinstalled the drivers and downloaded the latest (recently released version), reset my Windows, but since it is still on this version the problem remains. Everything is fine with temperatures, the only problem is with 0% load in applications. This never happened before the update!View the full article

I am at a loss in trying to resolve an issue with Windows Hello.I am logged in to Windows 11 Pro with my local account, which does not have a password.

Hello,I was having issues with my authenticator app. When logging into something, the Microsoft site would show me the number I would usually get on my app to authenticate. It kept saying it had expired, and I had to use a different sign-in method to authenticate. It was happening on both my Windows machine and Mac.I removed authenticator as a login method, hoping it had just glitched and I would re-add it, but now it won't let me, and I get this error (attached as image). I have an email and phone # to authenticate, but I would also like the authenticator app. I have lots of 2FA sites on it, View the full article

Hello Community,I initially had a WD PC SN740 2TB NVMe SSD pre-installed in my laptop, but I faced random BSODs and couldn't install or recover Windows 23H2/24H2, even using Asus Cloud Recovery.To troubleshoot, I replaced it with a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, but the same issues persisted. Finally, I switched to a Samsung MZVL2512HCJQ-00BH1 512GB (used), which allowed me to install Windows 23H2, but 24H2 still fails.Interestingly, both the SN740 and 990 Pro work as storage drives, but Windows refuses to install on them.View the full article
