PC always boots to BIOS instead of Windows Computer
I’ve had this issue for a while now, ever since my first boot. Whenever I turn on my computer I’m sent to the BIOS menu and have to boot override to windows boot manager to get to Windows. My boot option #1 is windows boot manager. Does anyone have any tips for how to fix this?BrycenninApr 03, 2026Copper Contributor3Views0likes0CommentsCan no longer open "extendtext.exe" after Windows update yesterday.
I've never had this issue. I've been using RMXP for about a year now with no issues and then suddenly this morning, I can no longer run "extendtext.exe" without getting this error. I had a Windows update yesterday and I'm guessing that's the cause of the issue since I've found 1 other person who is in my exact situation. Neither of us has found a fix. If I can't fix this, I literally can not continue developing my game as the text field by default is just too small. so I'm really hoping someone knows how to fix this.LawrenceppApr 03, 2026Copper Contributor3Views0likes0CommentsMIL who lives in another state sent me this screen cap several hours ago - how bad is it?
Says she clicked on a Gmail shortcut, which I created on her desktop months ago only because she's prone to typing in or clicking on the wrong URL, she says that's all she did then BAM the mouse locked up, screen littered with over 20 popups, and a "Your computer is infected, call Microsoft Tech support at 855-337-6815" recording started running in loops.Leroy95Apr 03, 2026Brass Contributor2Views0likes0CommentsWindows 12 Is Not a Rumor. It’s Already in Your System
The new build 29558 reveals way more than most people think. If you know where to look, you’ll see that the next Windows release is already very close. Side‑by‑Side Winners now includes new versions of core system modules Startup‑task‑data is updated across all architectures Defender and Networking UI have new branding resource packages ShellCompatibility is already using version 12.\* GDI+ and the Search engine have new generations of libraries These are not “small tweaks”. This is the groundwork for a new shell and a new UI that is already physically present in the system — just not unlocked yet. Don’t follow YouTube “tech enthusiasts” — they spread rumors and don’t know how to look for real evidence inside the system. Windows is not analyzed through thumbnails, but through the registry, WinSxS and shell layers. 😎✌️ Winners sample: offlinefiles-ui is now running on version 29558.1000. This is one of many modules that indicate the presence of a new shell layer in the system.kikero_exeApr 02, 2026Brass Contributor45Views0likes0CommentsWindows 11 IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Blue Screen

ReFS could become a bootable filesystem — it only needs a few missing layers. No need to copy NTFS, just implement what the Windows boot process requires. Key missing pieces: System‑level journaling (not only metadata) Full hardlink + extended attribute support EFS, ACLs, USN Journal for security + Windows Update Boot‑critical atomicity for safe system file updates Bootloader‑compatible APIs (BCD, BitLocker pre‑boot, WinRE, Secure Boot) Goals: Use NTFS as a reference map, add the missing capabilities to ReFS, and optimize them using ReFS features (copy‑on‑write, integrity streams, block cloning). Result: A modern, resilient filesystem that can finally boot Windows - without losing its benefits.kikero_exeMar 30, 2026Brass Contributor42Views1like0Comments
