windows 11 The area where I can enter my account information either does not load at all or the sign-in button is not active.
by Guest HandeBeyoğlu- 0 replies
- 6 views
When I try to log in to my Microsoft account in Windows, the login section does not work properly. The area where I can enter my account information either does not load at all or the login button is not active. This prevents me from accessing Microsoft services and syncing my account. I think the problem may be caused by my device or Microsoft's servers, but I have not found a definitive solution. I request help to fix this problem. I am attaching a screen video showing the problem. Please provide feedback in Turkish, thank you in advance :)https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pyd1H_k7DKJT3-XRQv Continue reading...

windows 11 Win11 24H2 update held back . Why ?
by Guest madbrain76- 0 replies
- 9 views
I have several PCs at home. All received the notice for the 24H2 update . All except one were able to install it .First, there was an error code. Then was an error message to the effect that the update couldn't install. I can't remember the wording. I no longer see the 24H2 update in the history, nor is it available to install anymore. WINVER shows the system is still on 23H2 .How can I figure out what was preventing the update from installing, and when would I be able to try again ? Continue reading...

windows 11 Recover my another account

Hi, I want to recover my personal account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** . I have tried the recovery form but it said I did not provide enough info to recover. I know my account current password, but it asks me verification code sending to a phone number that I no longer use. I definitely know the phone number for verification but I no longer use that number meaning I cannot get the code. Even I typed the last four digits of the phone number, I cannot verify to login. I do not think your recovery form could help me to get my account back so that is why I post this to ask for help. Thank you. Continue reading...

windows 11 How to force Windows11 to prioritize one GPU over another in my dual GPU setup
by Guest BritishZomb117- 0 replies
- 7 views
I am submitting this question because I genuinely feel as though I've hit a road block that I cannot get around, no matter how hard I try. I have a brand new PC that I just built and to test it out, I downloaded a few games. With task manager open, I could see that the game was using the GPU with minimal airflow and causing it to heat up very quickly(upwards of almost 85C with just a few minutes of play)which I would like to avoid. Upon this happening, I would go to Settings>Gaming>Graphics(which crashes multiple times before fully opening)and attempt to swap the GPU preference from GPU Continue reading...

windows 11 Research on web shows people have had issues with Windows 11 Version 23H2 for over a year and I find no real resolution.

Purchased a new laptop as old wasn't Windows 11 Compatible. Received 12/2 and put through setup. Of course there were tons of updates to Windows, etc. I got all done up to 23H2 and it downloads but doesn't install. Contacted laptop manufacturer and they suggested returning to retailer, which is stupid since there obviously is an issue with Microsoft and Windows 11. Spent and hour and a half on 12/5 with Microsoft help chat and was told my issue was escalated and I would receive a call. Needless to say 24 hours later and nothing. Now have been on the chat again for another hour and havin Continue reading...

Hi,After the latest Windows Security Update installed, I'm getting a normal Windows login screen, but then a black screen with cursor once logged in.I've tried going to Task Manager and restarting Explorer and tried the SFC and SCANDISK commands and other disk and system checks. They all come up fine.If I execute cmd.exe as admin and use wmic qfe list full to identify the latest updates, then use wusa /uninstall /kb;[update id] to uninstall the latest update, and then reboot, my system operation is restored and everything works perfectly again.The problem is that Windows then wants to install Continue reading...

windows 10 Random Shutdowns that require unplugging to turn back on
by Guest Gliitchi- 0 replies

Recently my computer has been suddenly powering down, leaving only my keyboard, mic, and ram lights powered on. When this happens, the power button does nothing and the only thing to get it powered back on is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. I mainly want to know if this is just a hardware or software issue so that i don't waste money on a new psu if i don't need to. I just checked and i don't think it's even creating a minidump file for the power downs. Continue reading...

I think my question pretty much says it all. I can't install anything including windows updates. I can't change my UAC settings since that requires a UAC pop-up as well. All UAC pop-ups just disappear in a fraction of a second. Continue reading...

Okay so any time I put my cursor over a body of test, more often EDITABLE text (think google docs, word, etc.) it just straight up disappears like the cursor goes clear or sometimes it's just such a bright white that it blends into the rest of the screen.I've already tried restarting the laptop, going into the control panel and unchecking "hide cursor when typing," I even restarted after unchecking it thinking it would help and nope not at all. I've owned multiple laptops and this is the first time this has ever happened to me-Even right now I'm struggling to type this because it keeps disappe Continue reading...
