Hi everyone. for the past 6 month since i build the system i have been experiencing issues with it, like VGA debug showing every few boots or kernel power 41 error, however the most recent one being FPS drops and system stutter even while idle out of nowhere witch have always been there but worsened with the latest 5070 drivers, that's why i downloaded latencymon. Unfortunately i have no idea how to make sense out of the summary it gave me so I'm posting it here. if anyone is willing to help out I'm be very happy! I have gone trough numerous troubleshooting steps including full windows reinstall and installing only the latest drivers for everything, i have also tryed replacing the psu with a 1000W one but the issue remains. Here are the results and my pc specs: GPU-MSI SHADOW 2x RTX 5070 CPU-I7 14700k RAM-Corsair vengeance 32gb ddr5 MOBO: Asus TUF z790 BTF WiFi 7 SSD-P310 1tb PSU-MSI MAG 850w CONCLUSION _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

The STOCKHISTORY function intermittently returns #CONNECT! errors in Microsoft Excel 365. The same formulas sometimes return valid historical monetary data and other times return #CONNECT! without any changes to the workbook. Recalculating, refreshing, or reopening Excel may temporarily resolve the issue. The problem affects multiple symbols simultaneously, suggesting a service-side or backend problem rather than a formula syntax issue. Example formula: STOCKHISTORY("EUR/USD", start_date, end_date). Is this a known issue or a service degradation? Are there any recommended workarounds? Is there any known issue preventing access from Spain or Office 365 accounts? It was working without problems until two days ago.149Views0likes1CommentHP ProBook 430 G7 Screen turning black every second.

Hello, I am designing a Windows patch management solution for a restricted intranet environment where direct access to Microsoft Update / Windows Update endpoints from client machines is strictly prohibited. Environment constraints: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (Enterprise) Client endpoints have no internet access Access to Microsoft Update endpoints is blocked by policy Only explicitly approved servers may ever have outbound access Feature upgrades are controlled and infrequent Goals: Centralized control of Windows OS updates (security + cumulative) Ability to stage, approve, and deploy updates in waves (rings) Support for air-gapped or near air-gapped operation Use Windows’ native servicing stack (no unsupported installers) Integrate with a custom in-house endpoint agent for orchestration/reporting Questions: 1. Since Windows Update for Business (WUfB) requires direct access to Microsoft Update endpoints, is WSUS the only supported option for environments where endpoints cannot access Microsoft servers? 2. Is the following architecture considered supported and best practice? A WSUS server (or staging WSUS) with controlled/temporary internet access Offline export/import of update metadata and content using wsusutil Internal WSUS serving all client machines 3. Are there official Microsoft recommendations for: Disconnected WSUS synchronization Offline approval and transport of updates Highly regulated or air-gapped environments? 4. Can WSUS + Group Policy be used to effectively replicate WUfB concepts such as: Update rings Deferrals Deadlines Pausing updates? 5. Are there any modern alternatives (beyond classic WSUS) that are supported in environments where Microsoft CDN access is completely blocked? 6. For enterprises building custom orchestration layers: Is it recommended to rely solely on WSUS for Windows OS updates And restrict custom repositories to third-party application patching only? Any guidance, official documentation, or architectural recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.161Views0likes1CommentIntroduction – Microsoft Certified Trainer and Solution Architect

Explorer issue
Hello. first post in this community as I am having a dreadful issue. I was transferring some files form a my PC to a smartphone and Explorer crashed, without warning. I rebooted my PC and after the W11 Opening screen where you enter your password, I got stuck on a black screen. My mouse was working and I could get to the Task Manager with my wireless keyboard too. Looking at similar issues on the net, I believed that my System files got corrupted during the files transfer I was doing, lucky me....... Anyway, I managed to open a CMD and get SFC/ scannow and the 3DISM commands to run fully. I was optimistic it would fix the issue. It didn't. If I open Task Manager I can see Explorer "running" but without any CPU activity. And trying to access the Exe location got me stuck at Not responding prompt. what are my Options before a Windows reinstall? I am on W11 PRO H2/2025 if that helps at all. thanks so much350Views1like4CommentsRunning Windows 11 on Hyper‑V with 8 GB RAM: My Workaround
Hello everyone! I am a beginner and I wanted to run a Windows 11 VM on Hyper‑V to test Windows in a virtual environment. Since my device only has 8 GB RAM (with Windows itself using ~50%), it took some effort to get the VM up and running. Windows 11 requires 4 GB startup memory, and I kept hitting the “not enough memory” error. This post is my contribution so you don’t have to go through the same struggle! Windows 11 Requirements on Hyper‑V 4 virtual processors 4096 MB (4 GB) RAM 64 GB storage Secure Boot with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled Things You’ll Need Hyper‑V Manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/host-hardware-requirements?pivots=windows Windows 11 ISO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 Step 1: Creating the VM In Hyper‑V Manager: Actions → New Virtual Machine Set Name and Location Choose Generation 2 Set Startup Memory: 4096 MB Configure Networking: Default Switch Create Virtual Hard Disk: minimum 64 GB Under Installation Options, select “Install an operating system from a bootable image file” and browse for the Windows 11 ISO. Finish setup. Step 2: Configuring the VM Right‑click the VM → Settings Under Security, ensure Secure Boot is checked (default). Enable Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Apply changes. Step 3: Getting the VM to Start Here’s where the issue begins. On an 8 GB host, starting the VM with 4 GB allocated often fails with a memory error. Windows setup requires 4 GB RAM initially. After installation, you can safely reduce the VM’s memory to 2048 MB (2 GB) and enable Dynamic Memory for efficiency. This way, the VM boots with less pressure and grows as needed. Workaround: Freeing Memory To make sure Hyper‑V has enough contiguous RAM (~4100 MB), I did the following: Closed all apps on the taskbar except Hyper‑V. Opened Resource Monitor (instead of Task Manager). Closed apps in the system tray (except Defender). In Resource Monitor → Memory tab, sorted processes by Working Set (KB). Ended non‑essential processes until at least 4100 MB available RAM was shown.

Hello, We’re encountering an issue with sending proactive messages to Microsoft Teams. We have multiple tenants, and in one of them the REST API works correctly. The app registration is multi-tenant, and we obtain the access token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token, which works without any problems. However, in another tenant the same flow fails with "Authorization has been denied for this request", even though we are still able to retrieve the access token. After decoding both tokens, everything matches except for the tid. I also tried switching the app to single-tenant and requesting the token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/<my-tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token. This returns a valid token, but using it to send a proactive message results in the same authorization error. My understanding from recent documentation is that multi-tenant bot creation has been deprecated and bots should now migrate to a single-tenant model. Does this also apply to bots created in the Developer Portal? The Bot Framework REST API documentation doesn’t explicitly mention any changes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=multitenant#bot-to-connector I could also see multiple users facing the same issue, so is there a bug that is currently preventing some tenants from using the service?127Views0likes1Comment
