Ok so for some reason this CPU which was perhaps on the approved list erroneously (which was how it got the Windows 11 upgrade to begin with) was removed so now it's not eligible for any more Windows 11 updates. That's just weird but nothing to be done.

I have a tablet that has an Intel i7-7Y75 that I've had for maybe three years, during the first year I had it it was running Windows 10 but I got the message "This device meets the requirements for Windows 11" and I upgraded and it's been running Windows 11 now for at least two years (with no...

Seriously? I mean the only person seeing people change their password and then days or weeks later having the new password rejected as "incorrect password".

It's my belief that a recent Windows update has caused the Windows Home user default of "password never expires" to Password expires on at least some computers; . In every case it's Windows 11 Home (my current computer which is about 18 months old has Windows 11 pro and it has never prompted me...

That will defiantly help with Home users who don't have the option in the settings to change that setting. I'd just really like to know why at some point days or weeks after changing the password that neither the new or old password works and they can't get access to their system without having...

I've had multiple friends and family report that Windows 11 suddenly prompted them to change their password (no option not to change it) and they then changed the password and it worked for days or a few weeks but then the user goes to login and Windows then says "Incorrect password" even though...

Thanks so much, that did delete the directory and the offending file so I just recreated the directory and it's all good

My computer is running Windows 11 23H2 and I've got a file created by 7Zip located in C:\Temp (my C: drive is a Samsung 990 Pro SSD) where 7Zip crashed during the process of zipping files and now that file appears to be unable to be deleted. With Explorer run as administrator the file appears in...

I don't know what exactly happened but after several reboots the speakers are now working.

Here is a link to the V2 log you requested V2 Log HP Notebook msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic: msdt.exe -id AudioPlaybackDiagnostic: msdt.exe -id PowerDiagnostic: FYI this a a work computer and is purposefully set to 1-Hard drive does not idle 2-Not blank the display 3-Never go to sleep I...

I have three friends who all bought this HP ENVY Notebook computer HP 2024 Envy 17t Amazon HP Envy 17t-CR0000, (Windows Home 23H2) that I in turn set up for them. Two of the three work fine with no problems, however one computer (after installing some Windows updates) that the speakers stopped...

Firefox is not running on the computer that I'm trying to copy the profile to. Apparently this has been a problem for a few months and even the suggested solution that is being provided on the Microsoft forums (which I tried and it doesn't work as mentioned in my post) doesn't fix the problem...

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, it's Windows 11 copy that's not showing the "Do you want to overwrite the existing files?" dialog and just copying them all as copy's of the originals which is useless.

That's a possibility, I'll try that and see.

As I mentioned, I opened a command prompt as administrator and then opened both explorer windows from there so they are running as administrator. It's not a rights issue it's some problem with Windows 11 not showing a dialog asking if I want to overwrite the existing files but copying the files...
