DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER (f7) A driver has overrun a stack-based buffer. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine. DESCRIPTION A driver overran a stack-based buffer (or local variable) in a way that would have overwritten the function's return address and jumped back to an arbitrary address when the function returned. This is the classic "buffer overrun" hacking attack and the system has been brought down to prevent a malicious user from gaining complete control of it. Do a kb to get a stack backtrace -- the last routine on the stack b Continue reading...

Hi. I built a brand-new PC and have done multiple things to resolve this freezing issues. I've replaced the mobo 3x, had the GPU replaced 2x, and keep getting a freeze issue after re-installing Windows 11 pro more than 10x. I'm not sure if it's a software issue, something with the boot record, or a hardware issue with either the drives or memory modules. Maybe both.Attached is a recent log file.I did run chkdsk /r & chkdsk /s? Already. It shows everything is working fine, but I'm still getting these errors. Error files Continue reading...

windows 11 Unable to get WSL 2 working with Docker for ARM on a brand new Surface 11 ARM machine
by Guest Lenni Lobel- 0 replies
- 6 views
I just got two brand new top-of-the-line Surface Pro 11s last week, which of course use an ARM processor. I need to run SQL Server locally, but of course SQL Server won't run on ARM processors, and so I need to get a Docker solution working.My ultimate goal is to run SQL Server 2022 in Linux containers on Docker for ARM, using WSL 2 and QEMU for x86 emulation on ARM inside a container. But I have been incredibly frustrated, because I'm unable to get past the first step, which is running WSL 2. All attempts at wsl --list or wsl --install fail with Class not registered. Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/I Continue reading...

windows 11 Can I disable core isolation for a single application?
by Guest AlejandroEcheverria- 0 replies
- 5 views
Since I changed from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the GT Arcade Android emulator no longer allows me to use it. I get an error message related to the virtualization machine. The emulator gives me a tool to do a "repair" which once done asks me to restart my system, even doing so the problem persists. I looked for another emulator Nox player and Memu, both have the same problem, investigating I found that this happens due to a core isolation function that Windows 11 has which provides an extra layer of security for a system. By disabling this function the problem disappears completely and I can Continue reading...

I'm on Windows 11 Pro 24H2 - Insider Preview Build 26100.ge.release.240331-1435, or as Windows Insider Programme settings say, 26100.2033 ge_release which is the latest insider preview build according to settings. I'm not getting any updates for a full release, but I have queued for unenrollment in the Windows Insider settings. I installed 24H2 on October 4th this year, but it says Tuesday, 03 December 2024 in the settings now since I 'upgraded' through the ISO from Microsoft since my friend told me that the full release of 24H2 has been out for 2 months now. which is where I'm a bit confused.

windows 11 Windows 11 24h2 Forgetting Hidden Network
by Guest Tanner77- 0 replies
- 11 views
So I setup a new computer for one of our locations and it has a hidden network. We can connect to it with the computer and all is good until you restart it or it is shutdown/booted back up. Once this occurs, the hidden network no longer appears in the network list to connect to(but does show up in the settings under manage networks...) so it will not auto connect to it and we are forced to re-enter the ssid and password after any reboot. After doing so it will then show up as the network name and 2 because the original one will also appear once doing this and we just have it forget one(this is Continue reading...

by Guest Neone26- 0 replies
- 4 views
I've been backing up my laptop for last several months, then today I got the message that my external hard drive had run out of space. Okay, that's to be expected. So I go into Windows Backup, and into the 'Manage Windows Backup disk space,' window.And I see that it has one backup to delete. Backup Period: '9/22/2024 to 12/1/2024.' Size: 730.17GBI have it set to backup once a week. And I only have the option to delete the entire thing, it's not broken up into smaller bits, like, per month.I remember some time previously it had these smaller ranges, so that I could delete some of the older back Continue reading...

I tried to create a new Microsoft account, but it says the mail I'm trying to sign up for is already in use. ``` You may already have an account 'k*****@naver.com' is already in use by another Microsoft account. You need to sign in with that account. ``` So I did an account finder with that email and got the following result. ``` Recovering a username 'k*****@naver.com' is associated with the following usernames 'Mc*****@hotmail.com' We have hidden part of the username for security reasons. ``` I think it's probably a temporary hotmail I created when I signed up a long time ago, which of cour Continue reading...

Hi,I just bought a new laptop. I have been trying and trying and trying to get a fresh, new, clean PC. No matter how many times I do a full factory reset (and say "DELETE EVERYTHING", files, settings, everything....) it just keeps doing the same thing. It reinstalls Windows 11, then it makes me do the full laptop set up again, then there they are: OneDrive files/folders/applications. Not just OneDrive stuff, but really really old outdated OneDrive stuff from about 10 years ago. It's maddening. It doesn't even match my current computer (but I did not want it to in the first place, I wanted a fr Continue reading...

hi all,I've been having this problem for a long time.My OMEN laptop is used for music production, and connected via USB to an audio interface when I work.the system just suddenly freezes, no keyboard/mouse reaction, and the only thing I can do is a hard shut down.

I have two different interfaces and it happens with both, and never happens when using the onboard sound.this is not an occasional thing - happens several times each session... I'm not sure how to get system error information, hope someone Continue reading...
