Hello!! I have been trying to contact Microsoft Support directly, but apparently that isn't something you can do. I have been trying to download and install update KB5050094. It seems to go through the whole process, but after it reaches 99% complete it errors out. I recieve the same error message as the one listed for the Citrix Session Recording Monitor issue. However, when I look for that, or anything like it, in services, I don't find anything?? Is there anyone out there that is having the same issue and managed to solve it?? I would really very much appreciate any help I can get withView the full article

I've been having an issue with my fingerprint reader not working. My Dell XPS 13 9345 (ARM64) keeps showing the message: "This option is currently unavailable" and "We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint." It worked perfectly fine until about a week ago. I've tried installing the driver from Dell's website and restarting my laptop, and it works every time I reinstall it, but the problem comes back later. The driver I keep reinstalling is the Goodix Fingerprint Sensor Driver. After it stops working, it's not listed in Device Manager, and when I reinstalView the full article

I recently purchased a new Dell computer with Windows 11 Home. This is just a single computer for home use and is not part of a network nor company domain.

During startup of my Windows 11 PC, I encounter an error related to graphics and display sometimes. The screen becomes completely black and I cannot even see my mouse pointer. To overcome this issue, during entering my PIN, I purposely enter an incorrect PIN and then I enter the correct one. This solves the problem. However, today I entered the wrong PIN and still the computer got unlocked and I had access as if I had entered the correct PIN. Now, I need help with two things: 1-How can I solve this display problem that is occurring very often? and 2-Can Microsoft or any representative explain View the full article

Just did a clean install of my new Windows 11 after having a lot of problems on the first install. I wipped everything off the C: drive before having it formated for the system. I did the install and all seemed fine, have been installing all my programs. Now I just noticed I have duplicate folders on my system C: drive and my data E: drives. The ones on the E: drive seem to be only holding Windows folders/programs/files. see attached screen shot. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise.Never had this happen with Windows 10 or earlier versions... what is going on.. they are just taking upView the full article

I have currently had issues with Windows 11 latest update causing freezing issues with my PC. I am running an ASUS ROG Strix X570-e, EVGA 3080 Hybrid, 32 GB GSkill RAM - board recommended, and a 5900x Ryzen 9 processor. I installed the update and almost instantly Windows itself would freeze not allowing me to open any program; however, it wasn't constant and there were times I could use my PC, but overall not really. Those times that I was able to use my PC I ran hardware checks on everything - everything passed. Checked all the drivers - all drivers were up to date. Checked program updatView the full article
