by Guest Trent.5201- 0 replies
- 3 views
Hi, I was wondering if I did a clean install of windows would the subscription that I got for buying a new laptop still be there if I don't claim it first? It shows up in the shop as tied to this device and I have 2026 to claim it. If it does disappear, do you think I'll have any issues getting it back by going through support as long as I took a picture of it? Continue reading...

I've purchased and downloaded a music album from amazon and am trying to cut and paste the album into my music folder. There are 13 songs and the album is approximately 83mb in size. Why does it take so long? It should be instant yet the pop-up window is telling me it'll take over 2 hours. It's already been 30 minutes and it's only 52% done. Continue reading...

windows 11 An app with <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="true"/> in manifest fails to launch in 24H2
by Guest G.Christensen- 0 replies
- 6 views
I have a custom app with <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="true"/> in its manifest. It is signed with a self-issued certificate and installed in Program Files. It works without problems in 23H2, but raises "A referral was returned from the server" in 24H2 under the same conditions. I've tried everything possible, including group policies and disabling UAC, nothing helps to mitigate this error. Windows is unusable for me without this app. Is it a bug? Is it possible to escalate? I've heard about enhanced admin protection in 24H2, is this error somehow connected to this Continue reading...

my onboard aux ports have not worked since I got this pc off of Facebook marketplace, Ive been scouring the internet to find a solution and it looks like it has to do with the driver. I can not find the realtek driver anywhere in device manager, even with hidden stuff enabled so I went to my motherboard manufacturers website and downloaded the audio drivers again. I unzipped the file and found the set up and had it "installed" however even after the restart there is still no driver in the device manager and the aux ports still dont work. whenever I try to use the add legacy hardware option to Continue reading...

Context will be given below, but when I go into cmd and try to run net stop wuauserv, it says service is starting or stopping.There’s a lot of context here. I was trying to download minecraft dungeons, it didn’t work, so I tried to use xbox app to download it. However, xbox app said it was outdated and to use microsoft store to update. When I tried that, the microsoft store update buttons wouldn’t work for any of the apps. I tried repairing and resetting, it still wouldn’t work. Then, I checked for a windows update, and saw it wanted multiple updates but none of them were updating. When I’d pr Continue reading...

Before this happened, I was running Windows 11, and troubleshooting a Wifi problem. It was working apart from the wifi connection being abnormally slow (talking like 1% of tbe speed) compared to other connected devices. As part of that process I had attempted to run system restore.Now it is stuck in an Automatic Repair loop and I am not able to reinstall Windows from either "the disk" or the cloud. There is nothing on the PC that cannot be replaced, but it seems I somehow do not have Windows installed anymore. Any help is welcome. I do not know what my options are. I've contacted the makers of Continue reading...

I'm posting this again as there has been no change in nearly two years since bringing this up previously and posting it in the Windows Feedback Hub app. Nothing has changed since Windows 11 21H2 (Currently on 23H2).File explorer is unable to read the tagging information of music files if they have embedded cover art images that are larger than 4,194,304 (2 to the power of 22) bytes.Attempting to play the music file in the Media Player app gives the message: "We cannot open song.flac. This may be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect or the file is corrupt." alon Continue reading...

Hello! For some reason, I can't download anything. Even trying to click on a picture and download it hits me with "virus scan failed." I've tried disabling my virus scan, disabling adblock, updating my software, and restarting. I'm running Windows 10. This issue happens on Chrome, Discord, and Opera. Any idea how to solve it? I'm not a computer person by any means, so it can be challenging to figure it out. The issue started when I moved all my downloads out of my downloads folder, but I'm not sure they're connected issues. Continue reading...
