So my laptop lost power during an automatic update, and now every time I turn it on it says "undoing changes made to your computer" and bluescreens. I went into the recovery environment off a usb and when running scanhealth it said "component store is repairable", but restore health always gives an error saying no source files could be found, even when I specify the path to install.esd, and I'm certain the path is correct. Is there any hope to fix this???? Continue reading...

Hello, I'm having trouble logging in to my PC. My password had expired today, and I reset it to something new. When I went back to log on, I typed in the password I had reset it as but it said it was incorrect. I am not able to get into the computer. Also it is not listed in my Microsoft devices. Is there any other way I can go about this and get back in the computer? Perhaps from another device? How could i get in contact with the correct branch of support? Thanks Continue reading...

windows 11 bad_module_info after every shutdown
by Guest PeppermlntSoda- 0 replies
- 5 views
So this has been bugging me for the past few days: immediately after almost every shutdown in the past three days, I've been met with a "bad_module_info" error in the Reliability History. In other words, as soon as I press the shutdown button, the program would crash. Usually this happens between 10 PM-1 AM, and at other times the error doesn't appear. Interestingly, the faulting process ID is different for each event:0x0x167C0x0x15B40x0x16BCI haven't been playing any games lately that's causing this error. Most of the time I would use Firefox Developer Edition and VS Code (with a Node.js back Continue reading...

I built a new PC about a year ago and bought a product key from a licensed seller. They have confirmed that this is a valid product key, and I have been using it with no issues since late November 2023.

I have no idea why my windows product is suddenly inactive. Can someone please direct me to where I can speak to a representative. Continue reading...

windows 11 Is there a way to fix my view in Microsoft Outlook (new)?
by Guest Tyler Burket- 0 replies
- 7 views
I have the new Outlook app and the classic says I need to pay for a subscription to use it. Currently my view settings has a little more than 50% of my screen dedicated to folder and inbox panes, and the reading pane is as a result so small I need to have a side scroller in order to view everything. The preview for messages and folder pane can each afford to shrink to at least 50% so that my email, the thing I'm actually trying to view, can be seen in full. Emails are sort of the star of the show on the Outlook app, I can't imagine this is the preferred/ideal setup? These are as small as they Continue reading...
