Well - that's the way it went here. Not going to spend a bunch of time wondering why. As noted in the post I linked to - my "desktop" (user) folder - was a plain manila folder as well - until I CTRL-tweaked the icon size on the desktop. Now the folder is returned back to one with my user...

Update - after trying about 20 different things including swapping OUT the PCI-e card and reverting back to the onboard Intel NIC - and then doing a multitude of network reset type activities - including an obscure reference to clearing the ARP cache - this thing simple works again as of this...

Ok - my second test confirms that this PC can be forced into Sleep mode normally (via Endpoint Console) or via the Endpoint Central app (iPhone). But it suddenly cannot be woken up. A little more backgrounder - this box uses the ASUS ProArt Z490-Creator 10G motherboard AND I am using the...

In a test 30 minutes ago - I put my problem PC into Standby manually. Indicator flashing on the top of the case - and it was sleeping. BUT - when I logged into the Endpoint Central console from another PC (on our one and only subnet) - and went to the System area to check status - the console...

Got a strange one here folks. Built this new 24H2 box on Feb 7. I have ManageEngine Endpoint Central taking care of all our endpoints. This PC is part of a specific group (of 2 PCs) that wake at 5:10am each day and drop off to sleep at 11:00pm each evening. This schedule has been flawless since...

Solved! Via this thread - post #4... https://www.elevenforum.com/t/windows-11-user-icon-looks-like-a-regular-folder.20661/ Wow. Never realized that I even tweaked the "size" of the icons in these areas. Even fixed my Desktop user icon as well. V

All Been rocking a very stable 24H2 build since 2/7/2025 - but today - oddly I noticed just two of my "special folder" icons are suddenly compromised: And - I also have the oddball "double" Onedrive icon. For the record - when I build a new box - Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures and...

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Just completed my Windows Update to Build 26100.3194 as well - AND Got a normal PDF of this page!!! WTF? Seems there was something going on (OS wise) after all. While I am a bit gutted that I do not know what was wrong - I will take it. Much thanks again to everyone for all...

Yeah - do not allow any current Adobe Reader product either. Too much bloat, overhead and who knows what else being installed. I use a very light (and heavily) custom version of Adobe Reader 2017 for all PDF viewing but no printer option is installed with this version. Have always used Print...

I have practically become an expert in the Windows Print subsystem in just 24 hours. Have tried every known suggestion, every known remove/install routine be it Control Panel, vbscript, PowerShell etc etc. No current solution posted anywhere - will allow this specific PDF printer to print a...

Windows Update is locked off. I do not permit driver updates (OR any other update of any kind) can come from there. For Windows Updates - I use PSWindowsUpdate and it reports the machine is 100% up to date. Controlled Folder Access is never on. And yes - I have installed PDF Creator 5.3.3...

For all those that have offered to help - I am very grateful, but I wanted to quickly checkpoint everyone back to the two actual issues with this oddity: 1. The PDF print job NEVER leaves the queue: 2. The PDF output is ALWAYS zero bytes Other than these two bits of weirdness - if you...

Super easy to stop and easy to ensure it never starts with Windows. Just right click and shut it down. Confirmed via ProcessManager. Nary a shred of it is in resident memory. I run it once manually every Sunday morning and then kill it. S

MalwareBytes never actually runs on this machine. It is only used for a weekly manual scan. S

Yes. But it is of little "help" - if you know what I mean. S
