Whenever I press my F10 key which is the shortcut that locks my device (its a physcical button I press and not a self-made command and its basically just WIN + L command). There is a good 1-3 second delay when I press it and when it registers to actually lock my screen. I noticed that the first time I do it the delay will be there but the 2nd or 3rd time I press it it's instant like before. It does this if I haven't used the command in a while. I also tested this in safe mode and this issue does NOT occour. It works normal as always. I've also noticed when I open certain games like VALORANT th Continue reading...

Last week, there was an optional update for Windows 11. I installed it, and it requested a reboot. Now, my ThinkPad will not boot. All I get is a blank screen. I can access/view the BIOS, so none of the hardware troubleshooting, including checking my brightness, has been successful.The issue is that the OS is broken, but I can't access Safe Mode or force it into Safe Mode because the files are too damaged. I need access to recovery files and run a reinstallation from USB. Please advise how I can obtain this without losing my current Windows 11 license and/or saved data. (I cannot access the SS Continue reading...

I don't want One Drive so I uninstalled it. However, %APPDATA% still points to OneDrive, which is breaking my program code. Looks like the problem is with %USERPROFILE%(?) Where is that defined?Looking at the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER, apparently a number of User Shell Folders entries (My Pictures, Personal, Desktop, perhaps others?) are still pointing there also. Some hard-coded to OneDrive, others using %USERPROFILE%, particularly %APPDATA% in User Shell Folders.So, OneDrive uninstall wasn't tested very well apparently. How do I completely get rid of these references to OneDrive and where Continue reading...

Web is full of comments from users that have many games no longer working after updating Windows 11 to 24H2.It seems there is no fix, and none of the following solves the issue:reinstalling old DirectXreinstalling graphic driversselecting a different GPU for the game -my laptop has both integrated and Nvidia dedicated-The only think that really worked, was to "Go back to previous build" (downgrade again to 23H2). After downgrading back to 23H2 (needed to reset some apps like Microsoft Store, in order for them to work after the downgrade), game launches as always with no problem.Incredibly, Mic Continue reading...
