Whenever I open a notebook / file text, ut starts to automatically slide to the right, no matter how much I drag it back to left - I cannot normally read or edit the very file. Same thing happened when i open the windows update - but instead, it slides down and I Can't stop it. I'll send a vid ( if possible )

So recently I booted up my PC once I got to the desktop a notification appeared saying "scan disk" with an X circle (I don't remember the full message but this is what I remember)

Is there a way to stop it without CMD or messing with regedit?

I use HDD by the way

That's all and thank you.

I’ve been having a bit of trouble with my computer the last week or so. It started by just occasionally blue screening and I didn’t think too much of it. Then it started happening more often so I was googling fixes but different error codes were coming up.

So far I’ve had the error codes: DPC watchdog violation, system service exception, kernal security check failure, pool corruption in file area, memory management and I believe one other.

Now it mostly seems to happen whenever I try updating drivers, when I try to do system updates, disk scans and a few other tasks that google said should help fix the problem. It will also just blue screen after a random period of time. Between 20min-120min.

Can anyone help me?

So One day my laptop crashed badly and it entered recovery mode and i tried to fix it using chatgpt ( windows register files got corrupt ) but then it crashed so badly it shut down completely and it wasnt getting ON even after charging so i took it to repair shop and he told me that the SSD got overheated and crashed so he told me we need to install windows again after recovering all the data from ssd , then he installed pirated copy of windows on my laptop and told me to download all the updates of windows then it will start to work finely . so i came home and downloaded all the updates but I am not able to activate the windows and also not able to install any thing like brave browser , not able to personalise( dark mode ) . I just want to use it as it was before getting crashed . PLS HELP

Hi, I have a Windows 10 update available, but I haven’t been able to download it no matter what I try. I already deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder once, and now the update won’t download at all—it’s stuck at 0%.

Even my browsers aren’t working properly. I’m connected to the internet, but even a simple search shows an error saying there is no internet connection. Before doing this, at least my browser was working.

I've been trying to install multiple drivers for my ethernet, specifically the "Realtek Pci Gbe Family Controller Driver". Yet, whenever I hit install in the InstallShield Wizard thing it just keeps me waiting with 0 signs of progression, I've tried everything from waiting up to 30 minutes to trying different older drivers but nothing worked. Here are a few screenshots for reference:

As the title says, after a system update of win 11. Never had a problem like this before it. Laptop is ASUS TUF GAMING F17 of 4 years, NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4080, Intel Core i5. At first wi-fi began to disappear. Whenever I launch the laptop I have to relaunch multiple times to have either bluetooth or wi-fi to appear. Restating apparently doesnt help. Strangely enough, sleep mode most of the time wipes wi-fi out. Sometimes wi-fi disappears randomly. When it happens drivers for either bluetooth or wi-fi disappear from the device manager. So what fixes it based by my experience?

\-Relaunching the laptop. Restarting doesnt help.

\-Restarting to defaults from the BIOS

\-Disable sleep mode when inactive

What I have tried: resetting network settings to defaults through system, updating drivers for wi-fi(Realtek), nothing works. Nothing ever happens for some reason.

Problem with all these fixes is that they are temporary. What am I looking for is to have it fixed permanently

UPD: Wi-fi seemingly got fixed by using myASUS. No bluetooth in MyASUS though. It is listed as an unknown USB device

i recently was hacked and got a Bitlocker screen when turning on my pc, i tried logging into microsoft to receive recovery key and whoever hacked me changed my info. Microsoft is helping me get my account back but they are saying it can take 5-10 buisness days. I need to be able to use my computer so they advised a clean install of windows 11 through a USB drive.

I got the usb drive, I installed windows 11 through microsoft’s page (i am 100% sure i downloaded the right one as they gave me step by step instructions lol) and initially i was able to click on my usb drive and it started downloading windows 11. while downloading it did say the pc will restart a few times while installing. it was maybe halfway done and it started to restart but it just opened BIOS. i’ve tried changing everything i can find online to get this to work, certain BIOS settings, i reinstalled windows 11 on the drive and tried to redo the installation but when i click on my usb drive from the boot menu the boot menu just refreshes.

can someone PLEASE help me, im at a loss and freaking out 😭😭😭

Hello, all.

A strange thing has been going on with my PC, namely that the opening Windows screen where you enter your PIN is not allowing me to type anything into it.

The keyboard still works, it recognizes when I press the enter key to bring the PIN field up, but it doesn't let me type any numbers into the box itself. I'm still able to use the on-screen keyboard feature to enter in my PIN, but can't use the keyboard itself.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard drivers, resetting the PC, unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in, and checking to make sure Windows 10 is updated.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for how I might resolve this. Thanks.

Recently bought a 2.5" sata ssd of 128gigs. Trying to install windows on it but I don't have a usb flash drive. Although, I have my old HDD of 500gigs in which I use linux mint and also have a usb to sata cable that I can use to connect either of the disks externally. Can I do this with this setup?

My old HDD needs to be replaced, so I decided to get an SSD to replace it with the intent of switching Windows to boot using it eventually. Step one though would be to set up the drive. It's a T-Force Vulcan Z 2.5" SATA III SSD plugged into a B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard in the SATA2 slot. My current HHD is in the SATA1 slot, and I have another M.2 Drive in the M.2 slot

The drive is appearing in Disk Management, but when following tutorials to initialize the drive I saw that it was already initialized with 3 partitions: 1MB Primary Partition; 513MB EFI System Partition; 953GB Primary Partition

The only option I have is Delete Volume for partitions 1 and 3 (none for 2). There's no drive letter assigned so I can't access it anywhere else. Selecting Delete Volume causes the system to process for a good 15 seconds, then nothing happens and the volumes are unchanged

I can clear the disk using Diskpart, but re-initializing it through Diskpart or Disk Management both auto-create the 3 partitions in their current state with no way to create new volumes or change the current ones. Diskpart can find the disk with "list disk", but with "list volume" only the 513MB partition is detected

Googling for solutions has yielded nothing for this particular issue. Not sure if the issue is with the drive, my installation, my PC, or maybe some setting somewhere I don't know about. Hoping someone here knows more about SSD setup!

Hi guys i need help with my audio driver.

Suddenly my speaker stopped working when playing a video. When I checked it shows the speaker with x mark in Taskbar. It is not detecting my speaker.

Tried with wired earphones. When I tried to find it in my device manager realtek audio driver was not showing at all even in hidden drivers.

I reinstalled os but still the same problem persists. I tried to install driver from dell website but still the same issue.

When I try to install all process are going smooth but according to installation file it is completed but it is not showing up.

I tried stopping intel audio driver, tried manually installing driver. It also didn't work out.

Someone kindly help me in sorting this error pls 🙏

I have a bit of a situation. One of my family members has passed away and he had a laptop that he used mostly for work and i want to acces the files just to check if there is anything important there. I dont have the password for this computer, i tried using command prompt to create a user but the disk is BitLocked and I am just wondering if there is anything I can do.

There was a problem with my Bluetooth headphones so I unplugged the usb stick for the headphones and plugged it back in and suddenly the entire system froze and was not responding at all so I force restarted it and now around 15 seconds after boot up the entire system becomes very laggy. File explorer itself takes around 4-5 seconds to open unlike before where it used to instantly open. I thought it might be a problem related to the headphones USB or application so I removed the USB and installed the headphones application but it didn't work. I opened task manager and there's not really any weird things happening to any of the components however the ssd drive on which windows is installed sometimes spiked upto 80-90ish percent but only for around 2-3 seconds and goes back to normal but the lag doesnt change at all Please advice

As the title says my audio on my Lenovo t14 gen 6 isn’t working after installing windows 10 ltsc. I tried updating drivers. I think everything else is working as it should. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I bought a cheap CD/DVD external to rip photo CDs onto my desktop computer. The SD card that came with it doesn't fit in the slot, so off to a great start. The unit plugs in and is supposed to be plug and play. But the drive doesn't show up anywhere, even disk manager. Every disc I put in it just keeps going "chi-chi.... chi-chi.... chi-chi..." I have a paperweight until further notice. Is there anything else I can try?
