  1. Windows Boot Manager Strange Problem - Windows version 23H2 22631.4391 Pro

    Honestly, this TXT file takes up such a miniscule of space on your drive -- I would leave it be... If you change anything in this file you might make your drive unbootable. That is why Windows disabled the delete function for those entries. It is highly difficult to manually repair a boot...
  2. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    I am not 💯% positive, maybe someone else knows for sure... I think you can use a Windows 11 Pro key on 3 computers once it is bonded to your Microsoft account. 🤔 When searching Google some answers I found say no. Others say up to 3 ~ 5 computers. Cheers!
  3. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    Follow the steps I posted in my thread posting here. Just make sure you know to get your Pro Key(s) from a reputable source. I got mine on Amazon.
  4. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    You have the Multi-edition SETUP.exe ISO. SO, all you have to do is purchase a Window 11 Pro key & follow those offline steps I gave to you for Windows 11 Pro install... Cheers!
  5. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    Do you have a cheap, inexpensive USB mouse & keyboard that is PC compatible? I keep one around just for those quirky times where I cannot get my goto keyboard & mouse working when I do a clean Windows installation. Sometimes Windows' generic OEM initial drivers are not quite compatible with the...
  6. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    If you do not have a viable clean exFAT formatted USB drive I would make one & put that ISO on it. I would reinstall a clean version of Windows 11;  offline. Then follow those steps I posted. Cheers!
  7. Darn. Clean reinstall on MSI PRO DP21 12M went amiss. Help please.

    First off, the Windows 11 SETUP.exe has ALL available versions all rolled into one. It all depends on the Windows key that you purchased & from whom. Provided that you have a Windows 11Pro key you need to follow these steps first when you get to the activation part of Windows 11: @glasskuter...
  8. 2 Monitors, one with Remote Desktop

    Could be a couple of things... :think: Is your video card integrated (shares memory with your main memory)? Check to see if you have it on the highest available setting (like 128MB). If after you check your refresh rate & that does not help, maybe its time to dump your VGA monitor for an...
  9. How do I find the actual Device that uses this driver?

    As I am reading this thread, I am sitting hear thinking outside the proverbial box here asking myself questions... Let's say Windows 11, like Windows 10, will not comply fully with the user group policy settings to not install or let the WAU Manager be completely disabled according to the...
  10. Unable to disable USB Mass Storage using Windows policies or registry keys

    I have always found that if I do not need to use a particular piece of hardware I would physically disable that device. If it was hardwired to the motherboard, I would find out if the USB ports was able to be disabled on the board by jumper switches or within the BIOS through a parameter. FFT...

    I'm glad that article helped you. Of course it was a little bias because it was promoting their version of remote desktop... 😉 Cheers!
  12. Solved Given these resources, what would your backup strategy be?

  13. Does Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Firewall keep my laptop 100% secure?

    @antspants What it boils down to is what works for  you! (This goes for everybody else here, too.) It is like the flavor of the month. If I like Wild Berry & you like Cherry Vanilla who am I to try to change your mind. In the end ... the common goal is to keep those viruses & malware off...
  14. Does Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Firewall keep my laptop 100% secure?

    Years ago an Aunt (by marriage) on my Mother's side of the family gave some of her free time working for McAfee reverse engineering viruses to help in the aid of making the databases that endusers used to thwart them. She never told anyone that she was that tech savvy (& I thought I was good...
