Hi, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15itl05 that was running windows 11. The SSD died a few weeks ago and I finally got around to trying to get it running again. I bought a compatible NVME PCIe gen 3 SSD and installed it. For some reason it does not show up in the bios or when I run the windows installation media from a USB drive. I tried swapping in another SSD from an identical ideapad and it boots up fine after entering the bitlocker key. This suggests to me that the hardware is ok. I also tried installing windows 11 on the ssd on another computer and then transferring it. When I do this it showsView the full article

For the past couple of weeks, I've been experiencing a persistent issue with my PC. The problem begins when my audio crashes unexpectedly, accompanied by a loud, distorted noise of the last sound I was listening to. the system becomes extremely laggy forcing me to restart it, and in some cases, certain applications fail to load properly. When I attempt to open Task Manager, it appears blank, with no processes or data displayed. Additionally, when I try to restart the system, it gets stuck in an infinite loop at the "Restarting" screen with the loading circle. The only way to shut down the PC iView the full article

Hi thereAs the title says, the Microsoft Store App has been deleted from my device, I believe due to a recent Windows 11 update. This particular update had other issues such as deactivating Windows entirely. Due to this I did roll back the update. I can't repair the app in "Advanced" options as it doesn't show up in the installed apps list. I have not tried to reset the device. I can't find anywhere online to download the Store App. What have I tried:- Restarting computer- Win+R - wsreset.exe - error message says "your device needs a new app to open this link"- Some Powershell commands that reView the full article

This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. I was on both PCs this morning and everything was fine. This afternoon WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING UNUSUAL, I GO TO OUTLOOK and find I'm on the online version - not my local version. This has happened several times for the last fer months - for no apparent reason!

I have a Windows 11 PC. I was running a local account, and I added my Outlook account to it. Then I got a Windows update, and the next time I started my PC, I found that something unknown to me had been activated, the bitlocker, and it asks me for a key that I do not have. I didn't even know what bitlocker is. I have logged into the authenticator, and into my Microsoft account, but there is no bitlocker key. And I have found that all the information I see on the internet tells me that there is no solution, that I can only format the PC.Is there really nothing I can do? I have my authenticator View the full article

I bought a windows 11 product key back in december 2023 for my new build. I then reinstalled windows 2 weeks ago and there were no hardware changes. The windows product key is attached to my microsoft account. When reinstalling windows I chose the option not to enter my product key. After reinstall was finished I logged in to my microsoft account and windows automatically reactivated. Since then every 3 days windows asks me to activate windows. I go to system-activation and then troubleshoot. A pop up says "Windows activation - we have activated this copy of windows". Activation then says "ActView the full article

Windows 11 is suddenly seeing my internal 2Tb hard drive as an empty CD Drive. I have tried using different cables and I even checked the drive using an adapter I have to use internal drives externally and it works perfectly fine when not hooked up internally. The Disk does not show up in Disk Management but it does show up in File Explorer as an empty CD Drive. The only thing I haven't tried is rolling back to a previous installation of Windows but this happened today before my most recent update. I thought maybe updating it would help but of course not. I have tried all of these "solutioView the full article

It takes a long time, but copy blocks of your files from OneDrive to an EXTERNAL drive that is not subject to OneDrive control. Verify that this works on a small scale first. Once you know that all your files are on the external drive(s) with 'Properties' that counts files & folders, you can uninstall/unsubscribe from OneDrive, subscribe to a competitive service and copy your files back to the internal hard drives. My sense is that this is not practical for anything over a Terabyte, but it got me what I needed. My further sense is that this is the approach that some folks' technical suView the full article

I have a computer with a combo mic/speaker plug. I want to use my wireless headphones with an external mic. The problem is that when I plug in the microphone plug with an adapter the sound is muted going to my wireless headphones. I wish they would still make computers with a separate mic and headphone jacks. Is there a device that would allow me to just connect the mic or would I have to buy a usb wired mic.View the full article

Hi,I have an ARM device with Windows 11 Home installed. I want to upgrade it to Windows 11 Pro. I have a Windows 11 Pro product key. Its description says it is for x64 systems.

Even though I've done the settings in the screen shot and copied the setting for welcome screen and new user accounts the language does not change system wide. I've also changed the language for non-Unicode programs to English, but it doesn't change the language system wide nonetheless. Sometimes I'm so fed up with Windows' stupid problems like this.
