Hi guys. I have been reading that the latest February Update for Windows 11 is causing problems, particularity with File Explorer, that folders are not opening? Also read that it is causing complete BSODs? Has this been confirmed and what is the KB number for said update? My main question is...

Hi guys, here is an update: I don't know what exactly fixed it, but I was finally able to download and install KB5050009 successfully, with Microsoft's help. I contacted Microsoft through the get help page, after trying to run Windows Update Troubleshooter (Clicking run on that opened the "get...

I clicked "run" on the windows update troubleshooter to do an in place w11 install, it opened "get help" instead. How can I run the troubleshooter to do the in place install?

I read a little bit about the in-place upgrade and that it will keep my files, settings, and apps. As far as apps go, will it keep only apps from Windows or Microsoft store, or will it keep everything such as my games on Steam, EA App, Epic, Ubisoft/Uplay? I primarily use my laptop for gaming...

Hi guys. Update from Microsoft update catalog failed to install also (KB5050009). I did an sfc /scannow in admin command prompt, found no errors. In Windows Update, it downloads fine, and starts install. Gets to about 80% and then fails to install (Install error - 0x800f081f). :( Not sure what...

I saw a "Windows Update Troubleshooter", but read that it reinstalls the OS, but keeps apps and files and such. I really don't want to do that, but read on google that updates can be manually downloaded and installed? How would I go about doing that for KB5050009? Further help appreciated :)

Hi guys. I am on Windows 11 24H2 and the update KB5050009 keeps failing to install, with Install error - 0x800f081f. I recently did a Windows 11 reset/reinstall, so I really don't want to go through that again. Is there a way to try install update manually? Help appreciated :)

Um, where does it say that the issues with AC Odyssey/Valhalla in Windows 11 24H2 were fixed with this Driver? I thought that the issues were with 24H2 alone... Clarification and further help appreciated :)

Do you guys recommend going back to 23h2?

Hi guys. My laptop currently has Windows 11 24H2 installed, and I primarily use my laptop for gaming. I have been reading online that the Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla don't work well with 24H2 installed. It has been more than 10 days since I installed 24H2, and therefore I...

Hi guys. I am back with a couple questions that I hope you can help with: 1. I installed W11 24H2 on 10/11, and so far have had no issues/problems. Is it safe/ok to delete the Windows.old directory? It has been about 9 days since install of 24H2. 2. In Windows Security, under the Device...
