windows 11 My perfect ASUS laptop became unusable after auto update 24H2. Is there a bug fix yet?
by Guest LexingtonAssoc- 0 replies

The screen on my VivoBook is badly corrupted, only the top 1/3 displays normally, the middle 3rd shows wavering gray horizontal lines, and the bottom 1/3 is black when I'm able to access at all. I've spent HOURS Chating online with Microsoft technical experts without resolve. One suggested updating BIOS drivers but with a faulty screen that is impossible, another said to view the screen on a working TV via HDMI cable and that too wasn't helpful and one observed there were too many accounts that are responsible for the debacle. I've tried removing unused accounts associated with previous comput Continue reading...

windows 11 Don't publish previews to non-insiders, except on request
by Guest WillemGrooters- 0 replies
- 4 views
Not a question, but a request.I have had an issue with a cumulative preview update that failed to install repeatedly. The reason I got this update is that I had "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" activated. As a regular user, I want the updates - the REAL updates - as soon as possible, that's why I had this activated. But by this setting, the previews will also appear and installed on installing.Previews are - by the word of the Microsoft support person that helped me with solving the issue - for those that want to see what's in the oncoming update and test them out before Continue reading...

by Guest em2o18- 0 replies
- 3 views
I have a laptop that I bought a few months ago and it's running on Windows 11.Recently, I've noticed that the power button after pressing the Windows button only shows the "Lock" option, and not the Shut Down or Restart option as it used to. I don't normally shut my computer down as I am a student and often have assignments open through the night so I can get to it the next morning, so I am not sure when this is from.I tried to fix the issue by looking at the other questions in this community, I've tried looking at the settings and my Lenovo Vantage settings as well but couldn't find it. Can a Continue reading...

windows 11 Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime Error not launching steam game
by Guest Analia Tato- 0 replies
- 6 views
Hello I am having an issue launching a game on steam (Marvel Rivals). Other games on steam don’t have this issue. My error message says “Microsoft Visual C++ runtime” above it says that it’s required. I’ve tried uninstalling all of them but some x86 and x64 versions fail setup. I’ve tried other methods like scanning and fixing and corrupted files like other people are told to do but still nothing. I’m not sure if it’s my new gaming PC that I got or that the game just can’t run on my pc, although I know someone that has a Pc and they don’t run through any of my issues. Please help its very frus Continue reading...

This has been driving me crazy - and I'm sure it's something simple I've overlooked...I have a 2Tb NAS connected to my private home network via Ethernet. Two PCs running Windows 11 Pro (version 23H2 and 24H2, respectively). Each one configured the same, in terms of networks:network discovery Onfile and print sharing On, "Set up network connected devices automatically" is checked. each has an entry in their Hosts files to translate the NAS IP address to a friendly name (NAS2TB, in this case).The NAS appears in File Explorer on the network for both. I can successfully Ping the IP on both PCs.Th Continue reading...
