windows 11 Meu Menu Iniciar e Barra de Tarefas não estão funcionando corretamente. O que fazer?
by Guest Bruna Araujo1- 0 replies
- 5 views
Estou tendo alguns problemas com o meu Windows após alguns meses depois de mudar para o Windows 11. Eu o atualizei normalmente pelo próprio sistema do Windows. (1) A barra de tarefas está completamente bugada. Ela estava normal até certo dia; depois, liguei o computador e ela estava do jeito como está na imagem. Ela está muito semelhante à barra de tarefas do Windows 10. Não mexi em nenhuma configuração para ela ficar assim. Sem falar que a imagem da minha área de trabalho é o fundo dela; é como se minha barra de tarefas não existisse mais. Nem mesmo os ícones da direita (Wi-fi, Calendário, Ho Continue reading...

I have many files that have the bitlocker lock on them. I can open them and use them because they had been locked on this PC.Probably couldn't transfer them to my next PC without issues. I have all bitlocker keys available to me.My problem: Bitlocker is not currently running. When I turn it on and provide my password, the only option being given is to encrypt the entire drive... not to decrypt. How do I decrypt them??Thanks all!! Continue reading...

windows 10 Devices can't connect to windows 10 mobile hotspot.
by Guest Ritchie1909- 0 replies

Hi everyone,I've recently dug out an old laptop that was running windows 8, to use the laptop as a hotspot to run a VPN through. Tested before updated and all was fine but my ping was a bit high so updated to windows 10. After the update, I can see the mobile hotspot on my PS5 and phone but keep timing out when trying to connect. I'm certain all my adapter setting are correct and I don't want to restore back to windows 8 as the update took forever, as you can imagine. Any help? Thanks! Continue reading...

windows 10 PC randomly reboots straight into windows lock screen
by Guest Brandon BalanceBeam.- 0 replies
- 6 views
Hello, sometimes when I'm downloading something or opening a game, my pc will randomly reboot straight into the windows lock screen after about 20 seconds. I don't get a blue screen, I don't see the MSI startup screen (where you can open bios), or windows logo. It just crashes to a black screen, then after about 10-20 seconds, I see the windows lock screen where I type in my pin to get to windows. If someone can please help me figure this out, I would really appreciate that. I will upload any dump files or anything like that that you may need to help me troubleshoot. Thank you very much i Continue reading...

windows 10 Wrong version of Get Help app installed by accident
by Guest Joe Stevens2- 0 replies
- 9 views
We have a corporate version of windows 10 with all "unnecessary" appx apps removed by default. Get Help was unnecessary until recently Microsoft disabled the SARA tool and integrated its troubleshooters into Get Help app. I manually installed the Get Help app from the store, but it is the one for personal account and will not allow signing into work account. Windows apps and store will not allow Get Help to be uninstalled. Pretty short sighted to allow the wrong version to be easily installed and not easily uninstalled. Is there a way via powershell or other method to force uninstall the inco Continue reading...

So, about 6 months ago i bought a gtx 3060 which was an upgrade from my Built-in driver which was much slower, but i realised it didn't m,ake a difference when i installed it so i was pretty pissed off as you could tellBut then recently i realised that i still have my built-in driver installed so i searched up if you should uninstall it, and everywhere said yes because it can intervene with the new one, and also i think my pc was still running on the build-in one instead of the old one, so i went onto device manager and uninstalled itBut now as soon as i got off my games where running so slow Continue reading...

I'm trying to convert some vhs tapes to dvd. My old laptop was too slow to do so without choppy sound so I bought a new laptop and external disc drive. When I tried to install the disc drive, the laptop says it only runs Microsoft verified apps. When I click on run this unverified app, it says that it will have to leave s mode and cannot return. I don't know what any of that means, I'm thinking I don't want to leave s mode but is there another disc drive that is compatible or do I just leave s mode? I only really plan to use the computer for transferring tapes. The disc drive I bought comes up Continue reading...

Yesterday I installed Windows 10 pro but when I was about to personalize my laptop it said activate now. I thought it was normal which sometimes it is but it said "Windows thinks this a non genuine product key" even though I got the iso from Microsoft itself and I don't want to active via calling. Also for me the windows help said it was blocked like it didn't show the connection reset, but it loaded in and said it was blocked. Please help me. Continue reading...

windows 10 Why do picture shortcuts change and how to stop it.
by Guest ThomasToliver- 0 replies

Sometimes I have pictures that I organize in different folders but I also want to exist in other folders. An example would be a folder for dogs and a folder for cats but the picture is of a dog and a cat. I don't want two copies of the same picture because I don't want to waste memory space so I make a shortcut of one and put it in the other folder.But sometimes the shortcut changes to a picture that is already in that folder. Why does it do that and how can I stop it? I think it might have something to do with any changes being done to the parent folder or the picture that the shortcut is of Continue reading...

I'm the administrator of many Windows 10 Enterprise clients connected to domain controllers that are in another county. I'm an administrator for my own OU, but I don't have Domain or Enterprise rights and I can't touch the policies pushed from the domain. Right now I'm dealing with the below problem on an internet-connected domain; most of the systems I'm responsible for are not internet-connected. One client computer had a 500GB SSD; a 1TB became available so I re-hosted. After I joined the domain this classic message appeared: "Security policies on this computer are set to show info about Continue reading...
