Error while reconnecting driveView the full article

A couple of weeks has passed since this problem started, only playing certain games like Fortnite, RE4 remake and COD Warzone, for example.I think all my drivers are up to date, the games are crashing ONLY in DX12 (directX), and it looks like a stack overflow caused by "randgrid.sys".In the events tracker of windows i have an error that says this: "The l1vhlwf service failed to start due to the following error: A hypervisor feature is not available to the user."I am not using any VMs (only have WSL2 installed, but not running). Also, in the events of error i see another thing repeating itself View the full article

I recently replaced the motherboard on a Dell inspiron, after the board was installed, I replaced the SSD. Entered in the bitlocker key and got to the windows login screen where it said for security reasons the PIN was no longer available. Clicking reset PIN did nothing, connected to wifi, still reset PIN did nothing. Tried Safe Mode with networking, same issue. As per other articles, attempted renaming the NGC folder under ServicePrpfiles to NGC.old. now when it boots it shows the MS account and Sign In. However, clicking it flashes for a moment then back to the lock screen. Same for Safe modView the full article

So I downloaded the newest Windows 11 version 24H2 and after the update finished and launched my desktop, everything was fine and so I shut down my PC and went to sleep. This morning I launch my PC and at the bottom right of my screen, the windows activation message appears. I restart my PC and when it loads back in, the message is gone but my settings still say I need to activate windows.I bought a prebuilt PC with an already activated windows 11 key and has been fine until this update. Except for the watermark, i still have the disadvantages of not activating a windows key. I have not replacView the full article

Why isn't my external CD/DVD disc drive being acknowledged on my HP Envy? I had this same problem with the HP external drive in the past, however, when I discussed it with one of the techs as he was working on my computer, he advised that it was the actual drive itself and found it to be defective. He was supposed sto send me a return label and a new external CD/DVD drive... which, by the way, I'm still waiting for over a year later! Anyway, I'm thinking that it probably wasn't the external disc drive after all since apparently others seem to be having the same issue. I went to my device managView the full article

Exactly what the titles says. Tried out a new mouse I got for my laptop, and then I decided to restart the thing because it said there was an update on the way. When I came to turn it on again it said it didn't let me sign in. "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your pin again" it said, and despite going through with this it still didn't let me sign in. I didn't want to have to try and hack my way through the frankly unfair lockdown, so I came here to report the problem. This is not fair in the slightest and I don't know what provoked this sort of response from myView the full article

After working fine for a couple of years, now whatsapp desktop is a problem - but not for me, for the person on the other end, who hears a full echo of everything they say. I don't hear any echo. And, when I try the same call on my mobile instead of desktop, no problem.This is recent, only the past 10 days or so.View the full article

Hello everyone, as the title says, I have two types of problems with my setup right now. The first, and more common one is this:during in-game activities (Monster Hunter Rise, Baldur's Gate 3), or after exiting my game (Astroneer) my screen gets frozen and I cannot interact with anything or anyone, I would be often in voice calls with others and I cannot talk to them either. This problem will persist indefinitely until I force-restart my computer.To fix the problem, I tried to reinstall problematic apps, such as Razer Synapse, which is known to cause problems with setups, and tried to update tView the full article

I'm hoping someone can help, every few months I get the login error message when I use my PIN:'Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available (code: 0xd000225). Click to set up your PIN again'Windows 11Pro, 24H2I've tried setting a new PIN, but this doesn't work. There seems to be no easy way of fixing this, apparently it's a boot drive issue (?) in some cases I'm having to re-install Windows. I'm almost at the point of moving to a Mac because this is driving me crazy. Can anyone help? Is there a reason why this keeps happening? Many thanksTonyView the full article

My subject question is a little misleading. But it best described what I intend to do.Let me explain.I need to reinstall Windows 11 Pro on my Dell laptop after I wiped my hard disk clean. In other words, it's like when I helped a neighbor years ago replace his hard drive on his Lenovo laptop, I have saved all my settings (where possible), documents, photos, downloads and emails. But could someone provide the steps and the precautions to take so my laptop ends up as close to its original state when purchased? Steps and considerations that may not be mentioned at this link.?Windows 11 Clean InView the full article
