Windows 11

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. After unboxing and plugging in, it went through setup and downloaded updates. Then I connected to One Drive and uploaded the home screen, photos, and documents from my former computer.

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.

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
