HelloSince the recent updates across the past few months, whenever I try to move a file out of my Dropbox to another location on the same drive, it will default to 'copy' and leave the original still in Dropbox. This duplication now requires that I manually delete the file from my Dropbox if I want to complete the action of relocating a file.It was found out that this change in behavior was the result of a change by Microsoft. Dragging a folder out of a root sync folder now defaults to the copy function on Windows 11. This change is not limited to Dropbox, but any root sync folder.Is there a w Continue reading...

Hi all,I'm having a very similar issue to the one described in this post with my PC; my WiFi menu in the taskbar says I'm connected to my household's WiFi network, and i can access *certain* websites just fine, but other websites and software think they have no internet access. None of my other devices are having this issue.This issue has been coming and going for a month or so now, but as of the last few days it's been almost constant, with only short intervals where the internet works as normal.When this issue occurs I can access Gmail and send emails, as well as YouTube and the Microsoft we Continue reading...

I have a Win11 computer with an Asus motherboard. This message came on today asking if I wanted to put the driver updater on my computer. I typically say no to those kinds of things because it's usually just another layer of software and probably spyware to boot, but being as I have an Asus motherboard I thought it might be ok. I called Asus and they said it's good stuff so I put it on the computer. Any other thoughts on it? Continue reading...

I'm getting a bluescreen about once a month that appears to be whpx related as it mostly happens when using wsl2 or using qemu with whpx enabled. The last one happened just after starting a qemu vm. I can't be certain becuase it's very random as I can leave wsl2 running for weeks and open and close multiple vms without any problem. This is with an AMD Ryzen 7700 (my old intel skylake had no such issues with whpx). Here's the minidump from the last crash. Microsoft OneDrive Continue reading...

I've turned off "Allow notifications to play sounds" and when that did nothing I went through every app and turned the sound off.Niether is working. W11 is still playing an annoyingly loud and irritating sound (Microsoft, for the love of anything good, please turn off ALL system sounds by default!! It's so annoying and unprofessional!). How do I turn off they absurd noises?! (note I listen to music from that computer, so muting everything is not an option) Continue reading...
