Hello,My computer has been intermittently crashing with a BSOD due to KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or HYPERVISOR_ERRORI have tried some of the community suggested fixes such as disabling fast start up, making sure hyper-v is enabled, running the memory diagnostics mdsched.exe and chkdsk which both returned clean results. I have updated windows to the most current update version and run the ASUS driver checker to see if any drivers need updating (they are all indicated to be current). I have also uninstalled VirtualBox which I had previously installed to run a Linux VM.Here is a link to the dump Continue reading...

When I look for the old work account in Settings, Accounts, Access Work or School nothing is listed but all my Microsoft APPs are asking for the old work account. All my Microsoft software was licensed to me personally but I used both my desktop and laptop to access my work network and both devices have no work account listed that I can delete but nag me all the time to log in to the work account.I cannot believe that Microsoft will not provide either a method or tool to remove this rogue account. People change workplaces all the time and should not have there problems. I've had this proble Continue reading...

Hello!I have been trying to get an old computer up and running again and have found a dilemma.I want to install Windows 7 on to it, as I think it would run the best, and still have a good amount of compatibility. The problem --I as am sure you have already guessed-- is that the official download is gone.My question is;If I own a Windows 7 key(I own like 3, 2 of which aren't used, and a Windows 10 key), is it ok (ignoring security and malware and stuff) to download from a site like Archive.org?

I have an old Software called MMTTY, which has been around but requires a baud rate of 45.45.With an Oikwan USB to RS-232 adapter the Baud rates are much faster. It can be changed downward in the port setting but apparently not that low. My new Windows 11 laptop is great and highly portable but the older software & junction box which requires the RS-232 connector, just don't seem to want to play. Any ideas? Continue reading...

I sometimes play an old game that's over 20 years old and was purchased through the gog.com site. The game (Alpha Centauri - The Planetary Pack) is an old DOS based game that has never failed to work on Windows 10 or until now Windows 11.Since the update, it now only works on Windows 10 and this is what happens on Windows 11:It is a turn based game and everything is fine until a turn ends. So whether I start a new game or load an in progress game, there are no errors but the game shuts down as soon as a new turn starts.I'm struggling to find out what in the update causes this or how to test wi Continue reading...

So after hearing about how windows 10 is has a end of support date confirmed next year. We are looking at upgrading workers who are still on windows 10 to windows 11 in the near future. For the most part everyone's systems seem to be able to upgrade just fine (they just don't want to move over yet). But there are a few workers who's systems have to upgrade their CPU and need to have the ability to use TPM 2.0. Iv been reading that normally TPM is related to the mother board but also that some CPUs can be configured to implement TPM 2.0. So my main question is can we just buy new CPUs for the c Continue reading...

We had installed Windows 11 24H2 and our scanners stopped being usable. We researched the issue and found that there was a known issue in 24H2.KB5048667 is supposed to resolve this USB/scanner issue. We have applied this update and restarted the computers. We are still unable to scan.On our Fujitsu scanners, for example, we get the error message - No scanner is found (SX03047E). The scanner shows up in Device Manager as an Imaging device. Continue reading...
