I have fixed the issue. Apparently, something regarding my MS ID was corrupted in Windows after the new mobo install. I restored my C: drive from a Macrium backup from the morning of the install and now my Windows shows that it not only is activated but associated with my MS account, where it...

OK, I got with tech support today. In researching the problem, they had me sign off my normal MS ID account and into a 'local' account. I was surprised that I had the same desktop as my previous MS account, and they reassured me that nothing changed except the ID being local only. After much...

Made that call and activated Windows. However, I can't link my phone, can't sign on to PhoneLink or the XBox app. I've reset my password on the MS website. However, my new PC does not appear in the My Devices spot. How can I get it to be registered there?

Checked the BIOS and there was no WIFI options. Installed the two drivers from GIGABYTE and WIFI is now displayed and usable. Thanks everyone.

Yesterday I upgraded my mobo from a X670 to a X870 and installed a nre GPU but kept the same CPU. After the installation I found that Windows wasn't activated automatically, which I have never had after any installations before. I used the telephone option and was able to activate Windows...

I've been connected to the internet through an ethernet port for ages. I now have access to a 2Gb/s WIFI fiber optic network. However, I cannot find the Win 11 Pro WIFI settings anywhere. I've got a Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI mobo but no WIFI appears in the network settings. How do I get WIFI?

Did that, lotsa DISM commands, even reinstalled Windows 11 Pro, but nothing stopped it from running until I uninstalled Norton 360. How Norton had a conflict with KB5035942 is a question I have to Norton. Hope they respond.

Remember this thread? I'm posting a fix from Norton 360 that may be the cause, at least for me. On the 17th, Norton had me uninstall 360 and start Defender and wait for the next day to see if KB5035942 would run. Lo and behold, it did not run on the 19th. To be sure, I left 360 uninstalled and...

That seemed to do it. Thanks for your help. Quick question, does the command stay permanent until you issue another or does it change back on boot/reboot?

Never noticed this before. Seems like overkill running 20-25 times each minute. Only noticed after updating OS to 26100.3775.

There was an incident where I was moving my cursor and it stopped for a second and then resumed. Curious, I opened the event log. I could find nothing noteworthy in Applications or System. However, when I opened Security I found that an audit was running multiple times every second. I have not...

I'm beginning to think there was a corrupted storage driver in the Windows Update Recovery OS download because I haven't had any problems after I reinstalled Windows 11 from an ISO and plugged the SSD back in. I'm going to close this.

Here is the CHKDSK report on the drive in question:

Clear Disk Info results (Samsung SSD 870 EVO is the problem disk):

Was having issues with an update constantly running every day. Was advised to try using Windows Update recovery to see if that would resolve the problem. After 'successful' install, I was using the PC when it suddenly ground to a halt. It wasn't instantaneously but a 'stuttering' that increased...
