Windows 11

I have previously ran updates successfully and moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The update that I ran today was for newer functionality which I did not care about. I tried to reset the PIN and the email that is displayed is for a company that is out of business. I can't even get into Windows to do anything.This laptop shipped directly to my home, I set it up, used it, left the company with their permission to keep it, and the company is out of my business.Help!

Hey all,Having an issue where my computer is crashing when just browsing the web or watching a video. Sometimes will crash 2 or 3 times just trying to start it up. However, if I get it to stay up long enough to open a video game or something graphically intensive, it almost never has an issue. Once I close the game though, there's a 50% chance it will crash in the next 10 minutes unless I open another game. All drivers updated from what I can see. Anything I can try out to attempt to debug this? I do get an exception break point error almost every time when shutting down my computer normally, View the full article

Hello,Lately i've been trying to debug an issue ocurring with my computer where the system locks up. I've done basically every single first ocurrent step such as clean boot, updating BIOS, updating drivers, hardware test (Memtest, OCCT) changing PSU and so on.

When checking driver issues i noticed i had 9 multiple drivers, it seems the driver Store installs outdated or the same driver versiView the full article

I have a computer that can be turned into a tablet. After a lot of searching I have found that the rotation lock option being greyed out is actually a "feature" of the laptop mode of all windows computers that can do this. However, when in laptop mode it still can rotate. Who in their right mind would want to use laptop mode in anything except a normal orientation? What values in the registry editor or something else do I need to change so that I can enable the rotation lock whenever I want it enabled, not when windows wrongly assumes the rotation can't change?View the full article
