How can I stop this from happening?I know this question have been raised for before, still , there is no solution, is it? Continue reading...

windows 11 Confusion Between "Hibernate" and "Sleep"
by Guest njlparadise- 0 replies
- 9 views
Hi,I've just updated my desktop PC and have migrated from Win 10 Home to Win 11 Pro. I am trying to schedule backups to run overnight (local and cloud). This ran for years without issue on my old Win 10 machine. I think I need my computer to be in sleep mode when I am not using it. I am basing this on the following definitions, picked up on the Community:Sleep - All non-essential activities and drivers are stopped and the processor goes into power-conservation mode Hibernate - The current system state is stored to hard drive, and the system powers off My understanding of that is that if I put Continue reading...

The bluetooth wireless keyboard stops working after +- 30 minutes of use but stays connected, this problem started as soon as I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, digging through the forums looking for a solution to this problem I found one, BUT it was designed for Windows 8. 1, but the solution worked for me and that is to simply turn airplane mode on and off, but doing this every time and especially while playing a game is not convenient because the keyboard freezes and keeps thinking as if I pressed the key that was pressed at the moment of “disabling” But the best part is that it stay Continue reading...
