Trying to access recovery keys from my Microsoft account to unlock Bitlocker on my laptop after a software update. Having multiple issues. Trying to update my Microsoft account, but I no longer have the phone number I used when I set up the account. No way to verify. When I try to update to my new number, or access the recovery keys, I am asked to approve the sign-in request in the Authenticator app. I loaded the Authenticator app on my iPhone, but cannot get it to sync with my Microsoft account most likely because of the old phone number. I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you.View the full article

Issue:I was working on my Windows 11 PC when there was a sudden electricity outage in my area. My computer immediately shut off, and after the power was restored, I tried turning it back on. However, it is now stuck in a boot loop, sometimes getting stuck on the Windows logo, and other times going straight into Automatic Repair mode, which fails every time.I suspect that the unexpected power cut might have corrupted my system files or affected my SSD, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Before I consider a full reinstall, I’d like to know if there are other troubleshooting steps I can try.TroublesView the full article

All of my other devices, such as my tablet, can connect to my college's wifi, however, for some reason, my laptop can not connect, but it says "no internet, secured" and I have no access to the internet. I have done a network reset, used the Windows troubleshooter, and have even done the ipconfig network reset prompts in the Control Panel as an administrator, however, none of them have fixed this problem. If I turn on my tablet's hotspot, my laptop can connect to that, but it is not able to connect to my college's wifi. This has been an ongoing issue for a few days now.

So I believe that my son's Microsoft account has been hacked. Once they got in, they changed the username and primary email. (so no password resets) When we try to log in it says: That Microsoft account doesn't exist. (we also can't make a new account with that name, and the 'Microsoft check' says that the Username has no errors". We also can't create a new account with that email/username as 'it's in use'. No live chat or phone service deals with recovery - for security reasons can only be done online. All of the online checks lead you in a CIRCLE that you can't access without being able toView the full article

I know this same problem has been brought up before but I haven't found anything that works or is remotely helpful (main case on here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/audio-playing-through-microphone/fb59dd4e-a6a8-4487-b9cd-806c05152116 ) Neither of those replies helped, I've checked every sound setting similar to the last guy it's not my hardware, no matter the application my desktop audio goes through the mic channel.

I'm using an HP laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 7520 U processor, AMD Radeon graphics (both with the latest updates), and Windows 11 with build 26100.3194.My laptop has a tendency to crash around once or twice a month. When it crashes, it stops responding to any input besides holding the Power button, the screen instantly freezes, and the audio stops. The screen can turn off by closing the lid, but it can't enter sleep mode and it never recovers from this state. There seems to be no link between resource usage, time since last computer restart, and the system crashing.I've checked in Event Viewer aView the full article

Hi! I have an issue where my PC crashes a seemingly random amount of time into playing demanding games, no issues at all when not gaming. For Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s a few seconds to a few minutes into playing with medium settings & for Fortnite it’s usually an hour or two into playing. I’ve been having this issue since I built my PC about 2 years ago (I know). I’m not even sure if crashing is the right word - my screen goes black, the RGB on my fans/RAM stays on but goes to its default colors, and the CPU light on my motherboard lights up red for a few seconds before BOOT lights View the full article
