Hello, Since some time I've noticed when I will close my terminal or powershell it's stopping the process I think - I click on close button and it's appear blank window for few more sec then my all powershell processes / terminal are gone.

I experience that on my windows and on virtual machine both on windows 11. I actually believe it's some windows update issue rather than something from my side, because it didn't happen at all few months ago. A Continue reading...

I had the files on my computer first and have never used one drive until this week for a college assignment. It suddenly started backing up my files without my permission and is at full capacity so I can't do my work. If I delete the files through my one drive, will it take it from my computer even though it was on my computer first? If yes, how do I stop this backup it's really annoying me because I never wanted this in the first place! Continue reading...

The last time I tried to update Windows 11 it told me I didn't have enough space and had to attach an external hard drive, which I did. As it was taking a long time I went away and came back to an error message saying the hard drive wasn't attached (it physically was plugged into a USB port) and a totally unresponsive screen. After using the Microsoft online chat I realised I needed the laptop physically looked at and a shop was able to rescue it by re-installing Windows 11.I am now, a week later, getting a message saying "Your version of Windows 11 has reached end of service. Click to downloa Continue reading...

windows 11 Screen colours randomly inverting
by Guest cl7489- 0 replies
- 9 views
I'm using Windows 11 (fully updated) on a laptop (14-ep0xxx). Whenever I press a key (except those on the outer edge of the keyboard), the colours of the app window invert, but it only affects the active app and not the whole screen. For example, in split-screen mode, only the clicked app inverts, not the taskbar or other apps. I've already disabled color filters, high contrast modes, and reinstalled Windows, but the issue persists. I’ve also updated my GPU. I tried screen recording, but nothing shows up. Additionally, in Microsoft Word, keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + B don’t work. Could these Continue reading...
