External SSD not detected in Windows 11 every now and again?
I have a quite a few 2.5 inch SSD drives, when needed I connect them via a usb-sata cable. Every now and again Windows 11 does not recognise the drives. It shows up in "This Pc" but no drive letter, it also shows in device manager. When I click on it nothing happens. If I connect it to a VM with Ubuntu, I can see all the files, so what I end up doing is copying them from there to a new drive. Then format the original and that becomes useable again, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I always make sure that the device is not being written to or accessed when I disconnect it. Can anyone please let me know what the root cause might be? I would also appreciate if anyone has an easier fix? rather than loading it into Linux every time?AspenFrostDec 15, 2025Iron Contributor4Views0likes0CommentsHow do I change background color of image easily?
Okay, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. I have a simple image (just a product photo on a white background) and I need to make the background a different color. Every tutorial I google is either for Photoshop wizards or involves 15 steps with layers and masks. There's gotta be a simpler way, right? I'm not doing anything fancy—no hair, no complex edges. Just a clean, solid background swap. What's the most straightforward method to change background color of image for a total non-designer? Any help would be massively appreciated. My attempts so far just make the whole image look like I used a bucket tool in MS Paint (disaster). Point me to the simplest tool or step-by-step you know!DanteReedDec 15, 2025Iron Contributor16Views0likes3CommentsBesoin d’un bon convertisseur youtube en mp3 fiable

I'm experiencing a persistent issue when trying to join the Windows Insider Program. The option to enroll or switch to the program seems to be broken or unresponsive, and I keep encountering errors or the option remains greyed out, preventing me from participating in Insider builds.BennettFrostDec 15, 2025Iron Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsYou can now boot a Windows 95 PC inside Minecraft and play Doom on it
I'm having trouble with the Windows 11 Start Menu layout, which has suddenly changed from a 3-column to a 2-column display, disrupting my workflow and making it difficult for me to access my frequently used apps. I've tried checking for updates and adjusting my display settings, but nothing seems to be working and I'm at a loss for how to get back to the layout I'm used to.EzraOakDec 15, 2025Iron Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsHow to download songs on spotify for free from my computer?
Alright, I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I have Spotify Premium, and everyone says you can download stuff for offline listening, but I can't figure out where the button is. I'm about to be on a flight with no wifi and desperately need to get my playlists saved. Help a confused soul out. What’s the exact step-by-step to download songs on spotify? Do I download whole playlists, or can I do individual songs/albums? I tapped around the app but just don’t see a clear "download" toggle. Thanks in advance for any simple instructions. You’ll be saving my long flight from being completely music-less. I promise I have Premium, so I should have the feature!ElliottHayesDec 15, 2025Iron Contributor48Views0likes8CommentsWie kann ich ein vergessenes excel passwort entfernen
Ich habe ein sehr altes Excel-Arbeitsblatt gefunden, das ich vor ein paar Jahren erstellt habe. Leider ist es mit einem Passwort geschützt, und ich kann mich absolut nicht mehr daran erinnern. Damals habe ich kein besonders starkes Passwort verwendet, daher hoffe ich, dass es noch eine Chance gibt, wieder an die Daten zu kommen. Jetzt suche ich nach einer praktikablen Lösung, um das excel passwort entfernen zu können, ohne die Datei komplett neu erstellen zu müssen. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit, ein vergessenes Excel-Passwort zu knacken oder das excel passwort entfernen bei älteren Dateien? Über konkrete Tipps oder empfohlene Vorgehensweisen wäre ich sehr dankbar.HarrisonMillsDec 12, 2025Iron Contributor63Views0likes7Comments¿Existe algún convertidor de youtube a mp3 que valga la pena?

Lenovo V15 G4 AMN обновления "встали" на версии 26220.6780. Dev канал. Все остальные обновления (антивирус, драйвера) устанавливаются спокойно и без проблем. До определённого момента накопительные обновления Insider устанавливались. Прошу с этим помочь. В меню Центра Обновления Windows написано просто: "У вас установлены все последние обновления. В центре Insider: "В Центре обновления Windows доступна новая сборка Not seeing a new build? Troubleshoot Insider builds". Ничего не делал "винда" чистая, лицензия. Никаких действие не предпринимал, которы могли привести к такой проблеме.yaroslav0211Dec 11, 2025Copper Contributor12Views0likes0CommentsDid a Windows repair install fully fix my WindowsApps permission issue?
Hey everyone im on the newest Windows 11 version which I tunk should be 25H2, I’m trying to figure out whether a Windows repair install actually fixes the permissions on the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder. Long story short: I previously changed ownership of the WindowsApps folder so I could access a file path. I later switched the ownership back, but even after restoring permissions I could still open the folder using the direct path. In File Explorer it was hidden, but I could still access everything if I typed the exact location. I also tried resetting permissions with icacls, enabling inheritance, etc., but kept running into Access denied errors. I also ran some similar command I found online because I was desperate to get it back into its original state. Then I tried a repair install, the folder disappeared again in File Explorer and is listed as SHR when I check attributes, but I’m not fully sure whether the security settings are truly back to the default state, or whether there's still something misconfigured in the background. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Does a Windows repair install actually restore the WindowsApps folder permissions to stock defaults, or do I still need to manually fix something?BhevesYDec 11, 2025Iron Contributor28Views0likes1Comment
