how do I remove my old PC from the Phone Link app? I know it’s a minor issue, but it’s driving me crazy!So, I have two entries for the exact same phone here. The old one was factory reset by me, so I can’t access it anymore.And then I have eight(yes, eight!) duplicate entries for the same laptop. If you're wondering how I have that many duplicates, it's because I often reinstall Windows on my laptop, it tends to get laggy, and reinstalling helps make it snappier. But I digress.The issue here is: why don't we have the simple ability to remove our own devices from our own accounts? Seems like a Continue reading...

About two weeks ago update KB5046740 was installed on my work laptop. Shortly thereafter I noticed an inability to print on the office Sharp MX5051 network printer. I will initiate a print job and all indications are that it has reached the printer (nothing in the queue and nothing spooling). The IT team took a look at it, uninstalled KB5046740 and I was once again able to print. The update was pushed once again and I again lost the ability to print. It was uninstalled a second time and I was able to print once but I am now unable to print once again. What's happening here? Does anybody else h Continue reading...

Hi, I recently bought a new laptop for university (Lenovo Thinkpad L14 Gen5 (AMD)) and I have my screen timeout set to 10 minutes. For some reason, once in a while my laptop screen dims after 20 seconds, and then the screen turns off after another 5 seconds. This sometimes can be mitigated by me approaching my screen, at which point the screen brightens back up again.So far I've; disabled Windows Hello, turned off the screen saver, changed battery performance to balanced, updated my drivers, yet nothing seems to workThis makes me believe its an issue with Windows Hello, or something else that Continue reading...

If I have been listening to music or viewing a video in my browser, Windows will start playing that. If I don't notice immediately and leave my pc, my colleagues will have to deal with my locked pc now playing music that they can't turn off. Continue reading...

It happened after I clicked on the scroll thing at the bottom of a bilibili video (bilibili is a video site in China similar to YouTube). This has never happened before in the past few years I've used the website so I have no clue what's happening.I went to Google to look for some clues and I found someone with a similar experience to mine, so I presume we're experiencing a similar issue.I tried to use the "reliability monitor" as suggested by the helper in the other post, and these are the results:------------------------------------------------------------------Problem: Windows stopped worki Continue reading...

Is there any way on earth that I can delete the app, without the account, or if not, what can I do otherwise. PS I would like to not delete everything from my pc, thanks <3. Continue reading...
