I have encountered the "greyed out Transfer to PC" problem with Windows 11. I know many other users have experienced the same issue. I bought a new Windows 11 Home laptop a few weeks ago and began using Phone Link with no issues. I returned that laptop for a more powerful Windows 11 Pro machine. That's when the issue began. Could not get rid of the greyed out "Transfer to PC" problem when using Phone Link resulting in not being able to transfer a call, either incoming or outgoing, from my iPhone 13 to my PC. Don't really know why it worked one PC and not the other as both were fully upda Continue reading...

Upgraded to 24H2 on 12-12-2024 and all NAS devices, as well as shared files from other computers, across the network were either not accessible and/or visible in the Network View. It happened across all 4 computers (different hardware) that were upgraded. Tried all known fixes and reset all parameters in security, network access etc. This is a flaw in the release. FIX THIS UPDATE. Restored previous version of Windows and everything works fine. Microsoft is aware of this problem but is doing nothing to resolve it. This is unacceptable. Continue reading...

Hello Community,I recently purchased a brand-new ASUS ROG Strix G18 laptop with excellent specs, but I’ve been facing frustrating and recurring issues, including Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) and complete system freezes. These problems occur far too often, even after reinstalling Windows 11 (fresh copy), which I hoped would resolve the situation.Here’s the context:The laptop sometimes freezes completely when idle, requiring a forced shutdown via the power button.I’ve also noticed BSODs during active usage, especially when working in Visual Studio 2022 on Angular projects, which rely on a Node.j Continue reading...

Dear All,Computer is DELL XPS17, 2TB SSD and 64GB RAMIssue started when the computer restarted, I got a blue screen with QR code and a stopcode indicating CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED. I checked the options online but none of them worked. I also see an error code of 0xc0000001. The options I see like pressing enter to restart or F1 to access recovery options or F8 for startup settings are not working as it takes me back to the blue screen. There is the option to press :"ESC", that is working but it takes me to the Firmware settings, and I am not sure if this is helpful. I tried to attach the screen Continue reading...
