About a month ago the option to turn on the internet or bluetooth completely dissapeared. So far I have tried to re-enable a few things in device manager under network adapters (I have forgotten the name of it, and it no longer appears on my computer). I have tried to shut down my computer, restarting it in every way I could find. I have restarted my internet and used the network reset button a few times. Any help is much appreciated!

The OS Build is 26200.9445.

Alright. I have this very weird problem. Around 3 days ago I installed a security update via windows update. Ever since then, everytime I’m in a game, my second monitor lags. Especially discord. Streams, webcams, etc. Interesting thing is, that the second monitor gets laggier as I cap my frames on the main monitor displaying the game. So game fps uncapped -> choppy - 60 fps -> even worse - 30 fps -> windows slideshow.

That is very weird behavior. I’ve reinstalled drivers, updated my chipset drivers too. Exchanged cables. Disabled and enabled Hardware Acceleration on Discord. Nothing has worked.

Is there a way to roll back certain updates?

Appreciate the help.

Ich habe ein Meme mit den Worten "Nur ein IQ >150 kann das lösen?" in der ecke beim Bluescreen. Beim neu Start musste ich für Steam Anticheat neu installieren.

Wie kann sowas sein? Trollt mich Steam oder Irgendein Programm?

Ich habe jetzt mal den Offline defender durchlaufen lassen, der hat nix gefunden. Noch nie sowas gehabt. Ich bin kein neuling im PC bereich aber selbst sowas noch nie gesehen und da waren schon viele Fehlerbehebungen bei

Hat jemand ne Lösung oder Idee was es sein kann?😅

Hi.

I'm trying to port a C script I wrote to Windows. This script, among others, executes the C compiler. On Linux it's just fork()-execv(), and waitpid() retrieves the exit code.

But the Win32 API is so much more complex. Not only is the code three times longer than the equivalent Linux code, it doesn't even run.

I create and zero PROCESS_INFORMATION, STARTUPINFO (inconsistent naming btw), then CreateProcess(argv[0], argv, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi); Then WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE);

Then there is a GetExitCodeProcess() call to retrieve the exit code, but it retrieves garbage data. I was wondering why, and it turned out the process didn't run at all.

The command passed to it is sound since I print it before calling it and running it manually works just fine.

The roundabout code is here: https://pastebin.com/piceZFhC

I'd be thankful for any help.

And how do I uninstall it? It consumes a huge amount of RAM—mostly 2–3 GB—and it causes severe lag, too.

here is the specs of my pc

i5 13420h
rtx 4050
512ssd

and some point it automatically bsod or shutdown itself
I can't seem to find the file location, so I can't delete it either—is there any other way?

The inconsistency lies in the fact that sometimes a task like "system" will spike the disk tab to 100% and slow the PC down horrendously from as little as 3 mb/s, but viewing other tasks on that tab show values like 60 mb/s with no effect on usage.

Task manager helpfully highlights the tasks that are spiking values in orange-red spectrum, so this isn't a case of 60 mb/s PLUS the extra 3 drives it to 100%, unless it's just flawed design.

The simplest explanation to me is that the mb/s is virtually meaningless; that disk is not a pool with a set capacity for tasks to draw from. But then why even display a mb/s value in the first place? It just leads to wildly inconsistent relationships between displayed usage per task and actual effect on total disk usage.

Hey guys, so I have 2 computers, both registered with my microsoft account. One running windows 11 home, one 11 education (the full version not the cutdown N version). Both devices show up on the microsoft account website in browser, both show up in the windows home device's settings, but the education one, which I use more, is missing the tab completely. I couldn't find much info about it, but my understanding is that windows education is equivalent to pro and shouldn't be missing features of the home edition, so I don't think that's the reason. They are also both fully updated and in the same region. I was wondering, if it can't be fixed, can it be manually added somehow (like the recently rolled out xbox mode which is region locked)?

Good afternoon. I was simply working on my assignments when my laptop suddenly shut off. The fans stopped running, my screens went dark, I had to press the power button to turn it back on. It has never done this before.

However, all my tabs, Discord, etc. were in the same state as they were before the "shutdown." I dug a little into windows event viewer and my battery health, finding no errors and the battery functioning in optimal condition. Looking a little closer, I discovered something strange in Windows Event Viewer:

For some strange reason, my computer thought I had pressed the power button/lid, hurling it into hibernation (of which my power button/lid settings are set to due to prior issues with shoddy Nvidia drivers).

Anyone have this issue before? Again, it had only started to occur since the new Windows update. I am on build 26200.9445, Windows 11 Home, 25H2. It has only happened once, but once is enough to raise concerns considering my bountiful problems with laptops before.

I want to make sure that this *is* a Windows thing rather than a fundamental issue my computer's had all this time, only for the software change to reveal some deeper intricacies based on this "crash".

Thank you!

if i plug headphones in it works, but the tv speakers just stopped working after i updated windows (the speakers work outside of windows normally)

When the power is out and I'm watching the UPS battery bar tick down the last thing I want to be doing is something that says "please do not turn off the computer" very prominently.

How do I actually, urgently shut down Win11 in 2026 without it trying to install updates? At this point it would be safer for me to just hold it underwater until the bubbles stop down the power button which is barely any better than just not having a UPS at all.

I've looked at the flags listed in shutdown -? and none of them imply an any more urgent shutdown or skipping updates.

I’ve watched countless videos none of them helped . Ive loaded the factory keys toggled it on but everytime i save and go back to the system info the secure boot state is off can anyone help please.
I’ve updated my bios to the latest version which I think is f.24 . I’m just trying to play some games 🙏
I have a hp omen 25L desktop

I recently wiped my computer and moved my OS to one of my SSDs. After reinstalling some stuff, i noticed that when I opened one of the programs (Steam, in this case), the icon that displayed on my taskbar was broken. Instead of displaying the Steam icon like it did before, it displays a black white page icon. I can still open Steam from the shortcut on my desktop and the search bar, but when I pinned it to my taskbar and tried to open it, I received an error message saying "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Steam.ink' refers to is unavailable. Please make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again."

Steam is installed on an available and accessible internal drive, and I can open it from there. I can open it from other shortcuts, but if I pin it to my taskbar like I always have, it can't be opened. This is only happening with Steam, no other program. It's also a fresh install on a computer that was factory reset a few days ago with practically nothing on it at the moment. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I've tried googling just about everything I can think of, but I wasn't able to find anything like my case, just stuff about external harddrives and flashdrives.

In case it's relevant:

how do i get this fucking thing to stop?
I wanted to use phone link to read a message on the phone while in a call. But when i launched phone link the call got transferred to the laptop.
And when i clicked on transfer to phone it does that but on speaker.

When i click the bluetooth button on the call it switches back to the laptop. What kind of bullshit implementation is this? I'm using my bluetooth headphone. I don't want to fucking be on speaker. And i don't want the call to be on the pc too. I want it to be on my HEADPHONES.

And i don't want to NOT use phone link also. I need to know how i can make it so that the audio of the calls don't get hijacked like this. While I use phone link.

There might be this weird far fetched technical thing to do that will solve this, but I'm not that advanced. I don't even know if this is due to phone link, or my phone or WhatsApp. Why don't it have the option to select which bluetooth device is being used for the call? Absurd!

Laptop has been stuck in some whole boot loop? I tried to reset my laptop due it to not turning on when I tried to skip the drive, but now when it reaches 85% in the reset installation it just restarts the laptop and moves it back to 64%. Please help, ive been stuck here for 3 hours

PS: I have a HP Victus laptop

This first happened in August. After a Windows update, it restarted and the keyboard (within the laptop) stopped working. Then I uninstalled some updates, and turned off further updates from happening. The keyboard functionality didn't come back immediately, but after a few days of me not using the laptop. Then I thought, okay maybe it just needs to chill spend some time shut off and the keyboard functionality returns. Also a few times after that, when it shut down from low battery, next time i turn it on, the keyboard wasn't working. It had to be shut off and left alone for some time to start working again.

But tonight (October), it happened again. For some reason, updates were installed, even though I turned the stupid updates off, and my keyboard stopped working again. I am so tired and furious of these bugs. I finally have time to do some work stuff, and I can't!!

And also, while I'm here: whatever I type in Start Search, nothing shows up. It's been like this since i bought this laptop few years ago.

Hello, after installing 3 Intel updates two days ago, I noticed that the BD PROCHOT setting is grayed out in ThrottleStop and I can no longer enable it. Is this related to the Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology drivers? Is anyone lived a problem like I mentioned?

My AMD Radeon HD 8670M (old I know) does not support vulkan is there a way around it

Laptop is dell inspiro 3537

Windows 10 64bit

I tried to run gow3 pc port and it says vulkan-dll not found I used gpu z and it says vulkan not supported for both the intel and amd. I tried amd Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 for Legacy AMD Radeon Graphics Release Notes and the laptop crashed and stopped and I had to uninstall the amd drivers through safe mode etc...

I have a bunch of NVME's, one of which is currently supposed to be bootable, but my BIOS will not let me select it and boot to it.

My current install of Windows is on Disk 3. I have done nothing to it today.

My previous install of Windows is on Disk 2. Until recently, that installation was intact and barely touched. I recently wiped it and wanted to completely reformat it but the recovery and MBR partitions remained.

Today, I erased the remaining partitions on Disk 2, but now Disk 3 is incapable of booting, despite me doing absolutely nothing with it.

SecureBoot and CSM are disabled on this machine (but this is an ASUS motherboard and they have a weird job of labeling those functions, any help would be appreciated).

I have tried cloning the contents of Disk 3 to Disk 2, as well as switching the slot Disk 3 is installed in, none of that works.

The motherboard recognizes every single NVME in this computer, but not the master partitions, I forget the term/name for that.

I've tried everything. I've updated drivers, I've restarted audio services, I've checked and double checked the settings even for each and every individual app, and still no sound from notifications, even with stock sounds. This isn't a new issue either. Every Windows 11 PC I've ever touched had this same issue and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

Mine is Home, version 26H2 and build no. 26300.9711, but again, I've had this issue with all branches of 11.
