I saved my bitlocker key in a drive that is now locked, how do I regain access to my drive?View the full article

I started the install and left it for a while, came back and it was back to first installation screen. It seems like it deleted my old windows install as it should as that's no longer a boot option but then came back to the windows install? Is this normal for it to sit on this loading for so long? It's been about half an hour so far.View the full article

I tried to find my bitlocker code using aka.ms/mynitlockerkey. I found a bunch of numbers and alpha characters mixed. I have no idea how to enter the alpha characters as only the numerical one show in the nitlocker entry window. This is very poor instructions and management by Microsoft and I am truly very disappointed. I don't expect to get a reply because I am rightly slamming Microsoft. Have a great day/nightView the full article

My PS4 controller will only be recognized as an audio device when plugged in. I have attempted all of the steps in related questions on the windows forum such as restarting the controller and installing DS4Windows. I have attempted disabled it as an audio device and changing the port it is plugged into. It works perfectly fine on my other PC which runs Windows 10, the only difference in this PC is it runs windows 11. So it is not a controller or wire problem. What can I do to get this controller recognized as an “input” or “other” device and not “audio?”View the full article

The computer keeps crashing while playing games such as Final Fantasy XIV or Warframe, but not when we run a Benchmark test. It's not overheating, and we checked for system error logs in the windows logs. When it crashes, we get a blue screen for a split second that says CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, which isn't very helpful in diagnosing which process it is. We did a system scan, which found nothing. There were some odd dips in the CPU while we did the benchmark. We ran DXDiag, no problems were found. Went a couple days without a crash, but now it's crashing every time we try to play games.

I have had this issue happen again after rebooting my computer to factory settings it worked fine for a couple months.

Now a hard reset of my entire system has failed after a couple months. I have done all the reboot suggestions and resets.

I have a new computer at home that has retail windows 11 pro installed. The operating system was installed using a local account.I bought the license and installation media through a reputable computer store and used the installation media to install the OS before using the activation key that came with the media to activate it. Before the update I setup the computer with the additional users that will also be using this computer as well as installing the apps I use. To try to resolve the issue I have run activation troubleshooter a number of times and it shows error code 0xC004C003 implying aView the full article

Hello,Thanks for taking the time to read this post.I have had this issue for ~5 months, where randomly both my monitors go black and lose signal with my PC. The PC remains on for about 5-10 seconds after the monitors go black before restarting itself. A lot of the time I notice this happens about 5ish seconds after closing out of a game or even a YouTube video but can still occur randomly during a gaming session or even just on the desktop. Sometimes I can go days without it happening while running my system to the max and other times it happens 3 times a day on YouTube, it is truly random.UnsView the full article

I bought a used desktop on ebay and am trying to do a clean install of Win11 using a flash drive created from the Microsoft installation media creator. But after the first reboot of the install process, it shows a splash screen for Carver School System. It evidently pulled a license from somewhere, decided automatically it was the pro version, and started trying to implement a security policy. It then said that the install timed out while trying to implement the security policy. When I told it to continue anyways it then had me log into an existing account or use a USB security key rather thanView the full article

I'm trying to identify the cause of a CPU spike to improve game performance. However, whatever problem is causing the lag is also lagging my computer to the extent that Task Manager won't open until the lag spike is over. After the lag spike, I can go onto Task Manager and see the lag spike, but not what's actually causing it, like this:I've tried using a program called Process Explorer, which I've been told shows me the program with the highest CPU usage in the System Information section. However, during lag spikes, despite CPU usage spiking to 70-ish, it tells me that the most intensive progView the full article
