My laptop fell on the ground and nothing happened, then after an hour or so, while watching youtube i hear some noise coming out of the hard drive then it's back to normal, after some time on youtube it gave me a blue screen, and then restarts to give me these screens below...

So I was installing windows on a Ubuntu pc when the Ubuntu was on another drive and I deleted the drive and installed it and now some how grub managed to get on here and I’m stuck here and I don’t know how grub got on here from Linux. Also I can’t boot to windows on this screen so uh

I'm currently trying to install 98 onto a Dell Inspiron 2500 I have (it originally ran Windows ME) after NTDLR completely borked on XP (which I currently don't have a copy of). I put in the startup disk and the CD-ROM (as booting up from CD-ROM without the startup disk just results in the same "NTDLR is missing" message I keep getting), however every time I get stuck at this screen and don't know how to move on from it as no error message or anything is really given. Anybody have an idea how to fix this?

I wanted to hard reset the pc and instal new win 11 from usb, after clicling clean all files the pc shut down and was cleaning files and when it ended the pc restarted and started to download the windows by his own without usb and it wasn’t win 11, how do i need to do that to make it full clean with new windows and without old system files?

I tried to clean boot my laptop to stop some lag and when I opened my laptop I couldn’t sign in, I’m not sure what happened but my pin wasn’t available and I can’t set up pin due to being able to connect to internet because of the clean boot. I’ve tried everything on the advanced startup menu, I tried to use startup repair, start up settings, command promt, I tried to uninstall updates both quality and feature, and I can’t use system restore either. It all sends me to a blue screen of death saying “\windows\system32\winload.efi and an error code:0xc0000225” I even stupidly bought a usb stick in desperation and thought it might fix it but nothing.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I’m trying to run an Android game (Sims FreePlay) on my HP laptop using the Windows subsystem for Android (in Windows 11), except I can’t figure out the multi-touch controls (this laptop is NOT touchscreen).

The arrow keys/mouse work to move, and the scroll wheel works to zoom in and out, but I can’t figure out ANY method to rotate the screen in-app (what would be the double-press and rotate gesture).

You literally can’t get past the tutorial without completing this step, so I’m stuck.

I can’t seem to find anything online anywhere else about this. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Since I updated to the latest version of Windows I'm experiencing errors in different apps like Discord, when scrolling through chats they get stuck halfway and then it gets fixed, the same thing happens to me with my browser in X/Twitter where I'm scrolling and the page gets distorted. I wanted to know if it's a driver problem or just Windows.

qemu-ga randomly appeared in my startup apps and I don't know why, I never downloaded this but I heard I could've installed a file with qemu-ga inside of it. the problem is this makes me uncomfortable knowing this is on my system, but I have no way of getting it off it seems. any advice?

Title says it all. I was trying to fix a problem where Bluetooth wasn’t showing in my icons and nothing would connect so took some Reddit advice and now I’ve done this.

So far I have tried restarting the Bluetooth stuff in the Window key + R menu and also scanning for hardware changes in device manager, neither worked.

Thanks for any help.

I cannot for the life of me get my Windows installation to connect to Wi-Fi automatically. Every time I reboot I have to go and click Connect manually.

OS: Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 (OS Build 26100.2605)

NIC: TP-Link Wi-Fi 6E Intel AX210 AXE5400

• Connect automatically checkbox is ticked.
• Power saver on NIC is disabled Device Manager.
• I also disabled power saver on the Bluetooth part of the PCIe device since it is part of the same card as my NIC.
• Windows says NIC driver is up to date.
• I added fMinimizeConnections DWORD with a value of (0) in Regedit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WcmSvc\GroupPolicy
• As a workaround I tried to create a batch script which runs on startup and executes the command netsh wlan connect name=MySSID which didn't work so I tried running the command manually and encountered the following error. Network shell commands need location permission to access WLAN information.
  • I thought this location setting might have been causing all my problems but from what I have researched it shouldn't interfere with Windows connecting automatically to Wi-Fi, it just makes this command not work. If anyone else has evidence to the contrary please let me know down below but I would prefer to leave this setting as is.

I just began upgrading my cpu and mobo from intel to AMD, but when doing this you gotta reinstall windows, it also just happens i got a new M2 ssd i put in my mobo. I plan to reinstall windows via USB onto this m2 ssd, but i already have windows installed on another drive on my pc, how do i reinstall windows fresh, and wipe this drive?

So I originally had fyde os on it and decided to install windows. So I installed tiny 11 and gave me a "installation has failed" error. Then I tried 24h2 and gave me a " not enough space" error even tho I have 500 GB. Then I fixed itself then gave me the same "installation has failed" error. So then I tried 10 and it gave me the "not enough space error" I didn't bother trying 8.1 since its unsupported. Does anyone have any recommendations to fix this?

I have this glitch or issue on my pc where when it boots up from shut down my pcs upload and download speeds are slow like 10 to 50 mbs and then when I restart the pc it goes to 400-500 mbs which is my normal speeds. Why is that? I tried messing with trouble shooter and asked ChatGPT but nothing work it’s frustrating

I use my PC for putting media on the x9. Went on a trip and used the x9 with my ipad air and iphone 15 with no issues.

Come back and hook up the x9 to my PC via USB 3.0 and nothing. It won't read or see it.

But when I open Device Manager, it's there. When I open Disk Management, it's there. But I can't do anything with it. In Disk Management I try to assign a letter to the drive but I can't. When I right click it, everything is grayed out.

I'm pulling my hair out over here.

I have two hard drives on my computer: SSD (D:) and HDD (C:). I currently have windows installed on my HDD. I'm going to wipe my computer and I want windows to be installed on my SSD when it's rebooted after the wipe. How do I make sure windows is installed on the SSD after I wipe my PC? I don't want to do any of those sketchy data backups. I'm starting with a clean slate and just want to make sure windows goes on the right drive. I am not worried about how long it takes.

My PC keeps randomly blue screening a few minutes after startup with error codes such as kernel-mode-heap-corruption. Anyone have any knowledge as to what's going on and how to fix it. The best idea I have is avast antivirus, however it's a long shot.

I really want do a completely clean reinstall of win 11 on my hp probook 450 laptop (remove every thing from hp) but save all my "user data" , photos,downloads,documents,settings,etc. I have tried to copy and paste to an external hd but that does not work properly because the data files are open (being used by me)

1/Why would I need to make a "bootable drive" ?

2/ Could I just do a "copy and paste" from the external drive ?

Sorry for all the questions, but I haven't used command for 30 years

I have tested my PC with two different power supplies and no difference, happened on both.

I had originally thought it was something to do with Easy Anti Cheat as I only noticed it happening during playing rust. But now it has started happening outside off rust we can rule that out.

This is a fairly new PC that I built it has a rx 6600, ryzen 5 3600,16 gb ddr4 3600mhz ram and 500gb name m. 2 ssd. It never used to happen but it has started to do this over the past few weeks.

Please help.

hey everyone, I am coming across a problem lately which I am struggling to understand. I have an HP laptop, (2024) which has windows 11 on it.

in the last month or so, everytime I log in after my laptop went to sleep mode, it throws an error with a code I didn't remember (0X something) which says that passcode isn't available and that I have to reconfigure it, but there is no possible way for me to enter the configuration settings. so every time I have to restart the laptop and that is the only "fix" I got so far.

what do I do? I don't want to pay someone to reinstall me windows, and I believe there are other solutions than that. could I have damaged the memory or something? if I did, wouldn't it cause more problems than just this?

does anyone else have this same issue or is it a ME issue? did I damage something inside my laptop?

my OS version is 22631.4602

Hello, I just did a clean installation 24H2 with an updated ISO file a few days ago (it's original i downloaded from Microsoft's site.) But when I copy a text or a screenshot, these appear on the clipboard after 10 seconds. What is the reason for this and is there a solution ?

Has been three weeks since my computer doesn´t record the screen when I try to, saying "error: 0x82323673", mi computer is a Lenovo 2024. Windows: Windows 11 Home Single Language.

I just finished making my first ever pc. I’ve done everything, even installing windows 11, but it says I have to use an Ethernet cable instead of wireless. I have the wireless option on but it doesn’t show anything of the sort. I’ve been looking it up but apparently no one else has had this problem before. Someone please help. (OS build: 26100.2033)
