Pop up message on start
Hi, I'm new here and needing advice. Some weeks ago, for no apparent reason, I started getting this pop up message at the end of Windows start sequence: =========================================================================== Interface List 11...c8 60 00 8a 5f d0 ......Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection 1...........................Software Loopback Interface 1 12...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Microsoft ISATAP Adapter 13...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface =========================================================================== IPv4 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: None Persistent Routes: None IPv6 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: None Persistent Routes: None It's not a show-stopper and it disappears when I click on the background but it is mildly irritating and I'd like it stop. Any help on how to do this would be gratefully received. Thanks. Regards, DavidTablet/Desktopmode X1 Yoga Gen 4 Windows 11
I bought a used X1 Yoga Gen 4 from a German refurbished website. The laptop is working perfectly with just one issue. As I flip the screen, to use the laptop as a tablet, the switch mode between tablet mode and desktop mode is pretty inconsistent. I updated several drivers, made a diagnostic run on the Lenovo website and the problem still appears. After a flip, sometimes it gets into tablet mode, but after flipping it back, it stays in the mode, the taskbar is in tablet mode and keyboard and mouse pad is shut off. I need to restart the computer and it works. I tried several software solutions, but from now, nothing worked. In win 10 there have been a button on the pop up menu, or with win + A, that can toggle between tablet and desktop mode. It seems, that windows 11 deleted this possibility completely. I tried to do this manually with a ai suggested .bat Skript, that toggles between the two modes, or set the status to desktop or, tablet but this had no effect. Despairing of the solution methods, it could be the sensor... Does anyone else got this problems with win 11 and more importantly, would anyone have a suggestion for a solution? Thank you.Volume decreases after enabling Enhanced Audio in Windows 11
After enabling the “Enhanced Audio” feature in System Settings, the playback volume noticeably decreases; when this feature is disabled, the volume returns to normal. Even without enabling any specific audio effects, simply toggling this feature on and off results in a noticeable difference in volume. I would like to understand the specific purpose of this feature and why this phenomenon occurs.OBS interface randomly turns pitch black, except preview and program windows
Os - Windows 11, GPU - GTX 1650 Ti (laptop). Issue persists, I've updated Nvidia GPU drivers, updated OBS itself, but this thing keeps on for several months. When this is happening, I kinda locked in that, the only thing that helps me, is "Fold all windows" (I do it with three fingers swipe down on touchpad) and then I go to Desktop manager where I pin OBS to the side, then UI re-renders and everything works again. Couldn't find anything on the web, all searches lead me to Black Screen capture issue, which is not my case. Would be grateful for any advice.Question about iTunes music download to pc on windows 11?
Hello! I've bought a bunch of songs on iTunes over the years, and I'd love to download them directly onto my Windows PC so I can listen offline without using my iPhone or the Apple Music app. Is that actually possible for iTunes music download to pc? Every time I try to figure it out, I get confused between iTunes Store purchases, Apple Music subscription downloads, and what's just "streaming." I don't want to accidentally lose anything or break some rule. I'm using the regular iTunes app on Windows 11 PC. I just want a local backup of the actual music files like MP3s or whatever format they use so I can play them in other programs if needed. Thank you so much for any kind guidance!Programs keep randomly crashing/reloading and so does my computer and I don't know why.
Hello! I hope this is the right place for this. I apologize in advance for the uncertain rambling. Computer stuff baffles me a bit. You might have to treat me like a little old grandparent despite being twentysomething. My laptop is an acer Predator Helios Neo 16, running Windows 11 Home. My system settings say that my RAM is "32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)", my processor is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX (2.20 GHz)", my system type "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor". The graphics coprocessor is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. (I'm not sure what CPU and GPU mean in this context so I hope that was answered here.) Lately, a lot of things have been crashing. Mostly Firefox randomly eating it (or Chrome, when I try to use that instead) and either needing me to refresh or restart the service completely--sometimes the tab crashes, sometimes the whole thing does; sometimes it even loses what I was doing in that tab/the window--but Discord keeps reloading mid-sentence, too. It doesn't crash entirely so much as just reload randomly and often.Any fast and stable way to transfer pictures from iphone to computer?
I have over 100GB of pictures on my iPhone, and I need a reliable way to transfer them to my Windows PC without crashing halfway or missing files. I don't want cloud uploads (too slow for this much data), and I've had bad luck with random free tools freezing or disconnecting. What's the most stable method that actually works for transfer pictures from iphone to computer? USB cable? Some specific software? I'm on Windows 11, but open to any suggestion that won't fail after two hours of transferring. Please give me a straight answer with clear steps—no vague advice like "try iCloud" or "use a third-party tool" without naming names. I need something that handles 100GB in one go, keeps the original quality, and doesn't require me to babysit it. Bonus if it's free, but I'll pay for something that just works. Thanks!How can I unfreeze my iPhone stuck on the Apple logo after an update?
Hello, My iPhone became stuck on the Apple logo after an update, and it will not start up normally. It has been sitting on that screen for quite a while, and I am not sure whether I should keep waiting or try something else. I would appreciate some guidance on the safest way to fix iphone stuck on Apple logo loop. Are there any recommended steps I should try first, such as a force restart, recovery mode, or connecting the iPhone to a Mac? I am also concerned about whether these methods could erase my data. Thank you for any advice.
