Hello,I have recently updated my windows and barely managed to log in because it wanted my pin code but didn't display space for my pin code.

Hello,For the past few months, we've been experiencing an issue with some Lenovo laptops in our domain. When these devices are powered on at home, and thus cannot contact the corporate network, the Windows 11 Enterprise login screen appears.

Then, suddenly, the icons appear, and the computer starts working properly.We have verified that system updates are correctly installed. I suspected that the problem might be related to the account cache, but it never occurs with the same user, and onView the full article

I've been having audio issues for a while now, I think since I changed cases (NZXT H9 FLOW). For example, when I plug in my headphones, I sometimes can't hear anything for about 2 seconds, even though I've disabled the monitor's audio and set it as the primary one. And then, for example, when I play Fortnite, I sometimes can't hear the others in voice chat, and the only way to hear them again is to disable voice chat and re-enable it. Or when I want to use the monitor's audio, I have to disable Realtek Audio because otherwise I hear stutters. Thanks in advance for any answers!View the full article
