I read an article yesterday with a method I haven't tried but wonder if anyone else has: "The new workaround, discovered by Wither OrNot on X (and was confirmed to work by BleepingComputer) takes advantage of one line of code that is implemented into the command prompt during a Windows 11...

I appreciate the links to the articles, but I am afraid that this may be a special case because of: "A bold notification wants me to sign with your Microsoft Account (which the owner doesn't have) to finish encrypting this device." This makes me concerned that finish encrypting may mean that it...

Setting up a new HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2234 Windows 11 PC with a Local Account for a friend, the first surprise was finding that it was at 24H2 as received, which didn't cause a problem and greatly reduced the number of Windows and HP updates required last time I setup one of the same PCs in...

@Flashorn Thanks for your help. The problem is fixed by turning off Super Energy Saver.

My OSD is somewhat different than the one on the link you provided. I did turn off Super Energy Saver. I did not see an Automatic Brightness control or Digital Fine Contrast function. I will watch it for awhile to see if turning off Super Energy Saver helped. Thanks

@Flashorn: Good thought but monitor was made in 2017, and general software is Windows 8.1 or older, with Windows 10 drivers from 2016 and 2017, so I don't think I want to try any of those. I might have to go with Winuser's suggestion and just buy some bluelight glasses.

I did not find anything like adaptive brightness in Nvidia Settings. I started using System>Display> Night light on to reduce blue light and brightness. I may just have to turn it off and set brightness down lower than the 50% it is running at now. but that probably won't help reduce blue light.

@Bree, thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a content adaptive brightness setting, or any brightness setting. I read the Tutorial and it is apparently only for laptops.

Display brightness slowly drops down from a comfortable level to barely readable for a few seconds and then back to normal. This happens a couple of times per hour, with no real variance in room brightness. It does not happen with the Night Light setting turned off in Windows Display Settings...

@andrew129260 Thanks for the info about Autoruns. I mentioned that I had run it in my first post and didn't find anything about thefancarpet.com, but I did not know about enabling the VirusTotal option. When I started computer this morning I did not have the previous problem, but I went ahead...

Thanks for the recommendations. I have done a full System Scan with Bitdefender and a Threat Scan with Malwarebytes with both showing a clean system. Since the data I posted originally seems to point to the Edge Browser, I deleted all Cookies and site data and set a Block to prevent...

At first start of my Windows 11 Pro 22631.3296 today, after logging in with Microsoft account, I updated the definitions in Bitdefender Total Security and Malwarebytes 4 Pro, with no browsers or programs running yet, and I got a popup notification that Malwarebytes had blocked something I didn't...

The active tab was foxnews.com when I left the browser to go work on documents. When I went back to the browser, that tab now only showed a black notice about 4 x 4 inches with the text from my first post. I searched Brave History and found the following: Afterwards I deleted the Bookmark by...

Looking for suggestions on getting rid of nginx web server. Windows 11 Pro 23H@ 22631.2861 and Brave Browser 1.61.114, system 1. I had been working on various documents and went back to Browser to see an open tab with this popup message: Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web...

I had posted my problem with Windows update KB5032190 failing and causing corruption. My posts are lost behind many posts about CoPilot and Edge issues so thought I would post here to tell you I did try your Batch File (after restoring the laptop with Macrium, running Restore Health, SFC and...
