Today my camera stopped working. The message is the camera is blocked or switched by a switch or a button on your device. The actual camera says it is covered or switched off. As far as I know I have not touched it. I checked the manage cameras it says it is enabled . It is switched on for all the apps I use, but it can't even recognise me when I try to log in and I need to use my passcode instead.. It won't paste the error message or screenshot here . Instead it says something went wrong. I have rebooted the machine . All to no avail. The computer is less than 6 months old. View the full article

Hi,Firstly I need to say that the following is happening on multiply units with multiple accounts. Meaning I added extra user accounts and made them Administrators and the fault continued. Including the default Admin account added by Windows. All accounts are listed as Admin and are added in the Admin Group. [NETPLWIZ]This started after the upgraded from Windows 10 to 11.Fault is happening on multiple utilities but for this I will keep it to just Command Prompt and PowerShell.Any attempt to run anything as administrator fails. Either "Right click" and Run as Administrator or via the search barView the full article

Hello, my friend just bought new computer and its starts restarting at random times. I check dump files with BSOD Viewer and it seems to be memory error or drivers, but drivers are latest version and memory test show no errors. I set XMPP profile "XMP-6000" maybe I should set to expo instead ? Can it be caused by amd graphics drivers ? because I forgot to disable integrated gpu.

Today I installed the new windows update (windows 11 version 24H2)And when I installed it and restartd my laptop, the screen was dim.The brightness hasn't changed and I have no new apps or new settings on but the screen is way dimmer.

The PREVIEW & DETAILS Pane (reffered to as INFO-Pane in this post), was removed from Windows when version 10 was released around 2018. I keep seeing many questions about this feature and eventhough Microsoft has been asked over all that to the present they have not bought the feature back.I don't profess to be a computer genius by any stretch of the imagination, infact I am in my twilight years. I really don'y understand how people that are supposedly in the know about computers both in the industry and independant just seem to send you a round in frustrating circles. This is why I don't nView the full article

I am surprised that I can't do this because the File Explorer in Windows 11 has a dark statusbar. So initially I tried:SetWindowTheme(m_wndStatusBar.GetSafeHWnd(), L"DarkMode_Explorer", nullptr);And it did nothing. I then tried:// Set dark mode background colorm_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl().SetBkColor(DarkModeTools::darkBkColor);And it still does not work:View the full article

I bought a new keyboard and i was gonna test it on my laptop, when I triedto play games on it after long pressing W (the forward movement key) it just doesnt register as a long press but as repeated key press so the character instead of moving it stops for a moment and moves like it lags. Long pressing a key makes it lag, even when I opened up notepad and tested the keyboard out, it stops writing the key that i pressed and after letting the key, it registers hundreds of key strokes and my whole laptop lags until it stops. I tried an old keyboard and it works very fine.Keyboard: Thermaltake W1 View the full article
