How to disable event: OAlert with id 300 from log?
Since this isn't a real error, is there a way to hide it from the event log, since it's the only error I'm currently experiencing? I've tried everything I've found online, but nothing has worked. My system is Windows 11 25H2 and Office 365. Thank you.Solvedalpha454Mar 25, 2026Brass Contributor91Views0likes2Comments
New File Explorer drop down when dragging files
Hello, Bellow I have attached an image of a new feature I've encountered recently. When I want to drag a file to a different tab (at the top of the screen), this menu appears.

Windows 11 scrolling bug in Settings and Quick Settings volume slider
Hello, I am experiencing a strange input/scrolling issue in Windows 11. The problem affects the Windows Settings app and the Quick Settings panel (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sound). When I move the mouse over the volume slider in Quick Settings, the volume slowly goes down to 0 even though I am not scrolling. It behaves as if Windows is constantly receiving a scroll-down input. Scrolling in the Settings app is also inconsistent. When using the mouse wheel or dragging the scrollbar, the page sometimes moves only slightly and stops or jumps back upward. Important details: The problem happens only in Windows interface components. Scrolling works normally in other programs such as Steam, Spotify, and File Explorer. Two different mice were tested (wired and wireless) and the same behavior occurs. Mouse drivers were reinstalled. System repair commands (SFC and DISM) were run and found no issues. Because this only affects Windows UI elements, it appears to be related to how Windows 11 handles mouse input in the Settings/Quick Settings interface. Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a fix?Solvedx7077Mar 11, 2026Copper Contributor151Views0likes2Comments
After clearing Edge cache, I lost multiple system settings...
I cleared out the cache on my Edge browser and then restarted my computer. I do this occasionally, about monthly or so, previously without incident. This time, after restarting the computer, the video settings are off so that part of the screen is cut-off all around the monitor, amounting to about half the Task bar at bottom and about half the Title bar in windows (such as Word, Excel, Edge, etc.) ALSO, my audio settings are lost so that I have no sound; it did not recognize the speakers on my TV, and I hear nothing. I went to the Sound System settings and had it look for new audio devices. It found the TV (which has speakers) but it says, "Windows doesn't have a network profile for this device." but it was ALL working fine before the cache clear and restart. I then went and performed a Restore for earlier today (before the problem). That executed but there is no change. I'm out of ideas and would appreciate anything you might suggest.Solved89Views0likes3Comments
Spurious folder cannot be deleted on Windows 11: error 0x80004005
I have a spurious folder on a drive that refuses to be deleted (Windows 11 Pro 25H2, all current Windows Updates installed). I have tried everything, and it's still there. It started when I tried to create a compressed archive using 7-Zip. The archive was to be created in the parent folder of where the files were; so, I added the ..\ prefix to the file name in the 7-Zip dialog window, but I must have inadvertently typed it at the wrong place, with the prefix in the middle of the file name. So, I ended up with a subfolder called R.. (notice the two dots) in the folder where the original files were. This folder is empty and shows nothing unusual in the "Properties", but when I try to delete it, I get this error message (my Windows is not in English, so I'm translating, and the original English message may be a little different): An unexpected error is preventing you from deleting this folder. If you continue getting this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this issue. Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error As the description implies, this error code is generic and useless. I have searched it, and found a lot of totally different and unrelated issues, but none remotely similar to mine. The same error occurs when I try to delete the parent folder. I can "Try Again" (which only shows the same error message again forever) or cancel. The folder is on a secondary data SSD (not the system drive), formatted in NTFS and encrypted with BitLocker (like all my drives, by contractual demand from my clients). I have run chkdsk /f unmounting the drive (which the command required), and it found no errors. I have also scheduled a boot-time chkdsk of the drive, but although the countdown appeared, the check itself never happened, and Windows booted right away. Very strange! Since I suspect that the issue may have something to do with the two dots in the name, I have also tried to rename it. WIndows first shows me the usual warning when you try to change a file extension. After I confirm, it shows the following message (again, a translation): It was not possible to locate this item. It is no longer located in [parent_folder_path]. Check the item location and try again. I took full ownership of the parent folder with total control to all subfolders and explicitly replaced the permissions in all of them. It didn't work. I tried erasing both the rogue folder and its parent folder with a secure-erase utility, and it didn't delete them either. Other than this stubborn immortal folder, the drive is working normally. I can even create a new folder in the same parent folder as the rogue one, and then I can delete it normally. What else can I do? Thank you very much for any help.SolvedgoytabrMar 05, 2026Brass Contributor85Views0likes1Comment
Mic not working on PC but works on laptop
I am on Windows 11 Pro (updated). I have a Bumble Bee II mic that I recently purchased. After receiving it I decided to see how voice effects would sound with this mic so I installed VoiceMod. I started playing around with it and the mic worked fine but then discovered that every voice is behind a pay wall, and I wasn't going to use it that much to justify purchasing the program. So I uninstalled it and that's when the problems started. The input from the mic stopped working completely. The mic lights up and it can control the gain input along with mute and unmute and the windows settings reflect this but it does not allow any sound to go through to windows from the mic. I then perused the help articles and went through the process of reinstalling VoiceMod then uninstalling it following their specific procedure but it didn't work. I then did the same exact thing again only this time I installed and uninstalled it via Revo Uninstaller, which found some left over things and I deleted them. But the mic still did not work. I discovered my old c920 webcam mic still works fine on my PC and the Bumble Bee II mic works fine on my laptop. I contacted both VoiceMod support and Turtle Beach support (with hopes they might know of a solution that could work). Turtle Beach came back and said there is nothing they can think of that can help. VoiceMod support had me go through several steps. First I ran DISM then SFC /SCANNOW and SFC found some errors then fixed them, but the mic still did not work. They then had me install reinstall some voicemod dependencies (MS Visual and a .net framework). Neither helped but it might be interesting to note that windows did install the MS visual but the .net framework install indicated it was already installed. They replied that they are not sure what it is and is more than likely not an issue with VoiceMod. I then went into Device Manager and clicked to view hidden items and discovered that there were 4 of each the Bumble Bee II mic and speaker (headphone jacks listed). So I uninstalled all of them, ran both DISM and SFC SCANNOW again, but that did not fix the issue. I did find an unused Audio Device in Software devices in Device Manager and I uninstalled it, but it seemingly had no effect. I have gone through the windows troubleshooter but it can't find the issue with the mic and I've reset sound devices and volumes for all apps via the Volume Mixer reset in windows. At this point I have no idea what to do to get this mic to work again on my PC. A few things to note: I have completely uninstalled Voicemod because I am not using it. I am only having issues getting the Bumble Bee II mic to work again on my main computer. The last time the Bumble Bee II mic worked on my main computer was before I uninstalled Voicemod, even reinstalling Voicemod does not get the mic to work again on my main computer. My other mic (with the C920 web cam) works fine on my main computer. The Bumble Bee II mic works on my laptop just fine. On my main computer, the Bumble Bee II mic shows up and it has power. I can adjust the gain of the mic via the controls on the mic and windows reflects the gain change in the volume indication for the system. The mic just does not record any sound nor does it show any sound coming through the system when I try to use it. The Bumble Bee II mic is not muted. I can mute and unmute it via the mic controls and it indicates the same in the system, but no sound either way. Again the Bumble Bee II mic works perfectly fine on my laptop and my C920 web cam mic works just fine on my main computer. The headphone jack on the mic works fine when I connect a headset to it but still no sound going to the computer. One last thing, after I had deleted the extra BumbleBee listings in Device manager under both "Audio inputs and outputs" and "Sound, video and game controllers" I was testing the mic with the headset installed to see if I could get it to work by adjusting the different variables via the mic knob and my system crashed. but there was no indication why it crashed. I am hoping someone here can help me with this.Solvedmadmaxneo1Feb 18, 2026Copper Contributor56Views0likes1Commentsvchost.exe high CPU usage - solved
I dont know when it started happening, but I was getting a CPU spike from svchost.exe on startup This lasted about 30 seconds then the CPU cooled off. I found that Superfetch was causing it.

KB5077181 update causes HDMI port to fail. Worked prior to this 2/11/2026 update. K have the 3 display devices: Dell 1536 Laptop Integrated Display, dual monitor duplicated on HP2301 Monitor on USB-C port. Prior to the update, the HP2311 Monitor on HDMI port worked as well. After the update, the 2311 monitor does not see an HDMI signal and goes to sleep. I also tried the handshake reset procedure (obscure procedure found with CoPilot) which fixed a similar issue with 25H2 update, but that failed. No configuration or driver changes. Note - monitor drivers are no longer supplied for W10 or later OS. The 2311 shows up when I selected "Show Hidden Devices". Hesitant to try AMD graphics update, BIOS, etc., as the 2301 monitor is also still working. Last, tried to do a uninstall of this KB, but apparently not possible with this update. Suggestions? Thanks.SolvedPaul2Feb 12, 2026Copper Contributor790Views1like4Comments
