How to download Windows 11 installer to a USB
Hello everyone, A Windows 11 installation USB is needed for a clean install or repair install, but the process is a little confusing for a beginner. There seem to be different options and it is not clear which one is the safest or easiest method. The goal is to download the Windows 11 installer to a USB drive so it can be used to boot a PC and install Windows 11. The USB drive has enough space, but there is some concern about choosing the correct format, avoiding errors, and making sure the USB is actually bootable. What is the recommended step-by-step way to create a Windows 11 installer USB? Should the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool be used, or is it better to download the ISO and use another tool? Any advice for a beginner would be appreciated. Thank you.Windows 10でc ドライブ 容量 空ける方法を教えてください
Windows 10のPCを使っていますが、最近Cドライブの空き容量がかなり少なくなり、残りが10GBほどしかありません。大きなソフトを入れた覚えはあまりないのですが、Windows Updateや一時ファイル、古いバックアップなどで容量が減っているのかもしれません。 できれば必要なファイルを消さずに、安全な方法でc ドライブ 容量 空ける方法を知りたいです。ディスククリーンアップ、不要アプリの削除、一時ファイルの削除など、初心者でも試しやすい手順があれば教えてください。 また、Cドライブの容量不足を防ぐために、今後どのフォルダを別ドライブへ移動したほうがよいかも知りたいです。Windows 10でc ドライブ 容量 空けるために、皆さんが普段使っているおすすめの方法があれば教えてください。
Win 10 upgraded to Win11 screwup
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11, and something has gone seriously wrong. The upgrade process seemed to complete without any error messages, but now my system is a complete mess: my taskbar icons are missing or unclickable, the Start menu won't open at all, many of my apps crash immediately when I try to launch them, and the overall performance is painfully slow even though my PC ran perfectly fine on Windows 10. I've already tried running the Windows Update troubleshooter and checking for additional driver updates, but nothing has helped. Has anyone else run into similar problems after upgrading, and is there a way to fix this mess without having to completely wipe my drive and reinstall everything from scratch? I would really appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you.
Win10 auto-scroll & auto-zoom issue help
For the past few days, my Windows 10 laptop has been behaving strangely with what I can only describe as an auto-scroll and auto-zoom issue. Whenever I'm browsing a webpage, working in a document, or even just looking at my desktop, the screen will suddenly start scrolling downward on its own or zoom in and out randomly as if someone else is controlling the mouse, and this happens even when I'm not touching the keyboard, trackpad, or an external mouse. I've already tried restarting my computer and checking for driver updates, but nothing has fixed it. Has anyone else experienced this glitch and found a solution? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
There is absolutely no available space
Thid is a serious storage issue on my computer where there is absolutely no available space left on my drive. No matter how many files I delete or move to external storage, the storage remains completely full, preventing me from installing new programs or even saving important files, and I need help figuring out how to free up space effectively without losing essential data.
Why CPU clock speed weirdness on Windows PC
I am experiencing strange behavior with my CPU clock speed on my Windows PC, where it fluctuates unexpectedly or appears to be stuck at very high or very low speeds without any apparent reason. This inconsistent clock speed is causing performance issues and making it difficult to determine whether my system is running optimally, and I am unsure what is causing this weirdness or how to fix it.why was the upgrade to 26100.8457 so massive? Time to downlod a new ISO?
On my Lenovo T16s Gen 6 AMD laptop, the install to shutdown process took almost an hour. And when I restarted my system today, there seemed to be more updating and several minutes, much longer than normal, just to get to the login screen. Has anyone else had this experience?
How can I use AI tool for removing white background from image?
Many old photos on my Windows 10 PC have a busy or unwanted background, especially product photos, profile pictures, and images made for websites or social media. Removing the background can make the subject look cleaner and easier to use in a design. The challenge is finding a simple AI tool that can cut out the subject accurately without leaving rough edges around hair, clothes, or small details. Online tools are common, but uploading private images to random websites does not feel very safe. What is the best way to use an AI tool for removing white background from an image? A beginner-friendly desktop program for Windows would be preferred, but good free tools or reliable online options are also welcome. Thanks.
PC Shuts Down Suddenly While Gaming .
PC running Windows 11 (64-bit) suddenly shuts down without displaying an error code,never blue screen. In Event Viewer, there is listed—only a note that the PC was shut down abruptly. Under Reliability History, it shows that the PC shut down abruptly, along with vgme.exe (red X). Since Riot’s Valorant accesses deep into the system, it causes vgme.exe to crash (this is a known issue). The game in question is Valorant, Raimbow Siege 6 and it only happens with this game. Other games work fine; the PC never shuts down abruptly. HARDWARE: Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wi-Fi, Samsung 1TB 980 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D, Corsair RM750 Power Supply, Vengeance 32GB (2x16) 30-30-36-76 1.40V V.5.43 6000MHz, Gigabyte RTX 3070 (GB). The hardware is about 8 months old, except for the graphics card (about 3 years old) and the power supply the same . CPU thermal paste reapplied 2 months ago; temperature is always OK. PLEASE HELP.First PC : Help me finish it please
I’ve had gaming laptops for the past 10 years and I’m finally looking to build my first tower. I have 3 non-negotiables; a 9800 X3D CPU; a 5070 Ti (I was originally going to just go for a 5080 but my friend nudged me towards the cheaper 5070Ti for a relatively low loss in performance; and I’d like to be under £2500 so less than $3000 Firstly, I’d like to know about GPU brands. The retailer I’m looking at has Palit, PNY, GeForce and ASUs 5070Ti models (with the ASUs being the most expensive) Should I just go for the ASUS assuming it’s more expensive because it’s “tweaked” better? Any comments on those other models? Is there a MB, RAM and PSU recommendation to go with my CPU and GPU? Or can I free-ball. I mostly play MMOs so that’s why I’m set on the 9800X3D so I’m really trying to build around the processor. Don’t know if this is a backwards way to do it. Lastly just any advice for a first timer would be greatly appreciated.Can't load into Windows 11 Installation USB unless the old M.2 is plugged in.
I'm experiencing an issue where my computer only boots into the Windows 11 installation USB if my old M.2 drive is plugged in. When I remove the old M.2 drive, the system fails to load the USB installer and just shows a blank screen or error message, which is frustrating because I want to install Windows 11 on my new drive without relying on the old one.Can there be any problems if I install the most recent drivers on a Windows 10 laptop?
Ever since Windows 10 went EOL, Lenovo's driver updates have been marked as "for Windows 11". The thing is, i'm running more than year-old drivers at this point and could do with an update since i've gotten new ram a while ago and am having problems both with the ram and the webcam, and i'd like to try fix things myself before i send the pc to support for up to a few weeks. Will i encounter any problems or break stuff on the computer if i install Windows 11 drivers on my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop?BiDi broke in Windows 11
After years of no-problem Arabic in both Windows 10 and 11, Arabic text is now being displayed left-to-right in command prompt, Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7.6.2 (I've removed Windows Terminal to simplify things). In PowerShell ISE, in Konsole (windows .exe build) and all apps (Notepad, Office, Notepad ++, etc.) Arabic is displayed correctly right-to-left. In the Windows shells the letters are shaped and joined correctly but display left to right. . If I copy Arabic text from one of the misbehaving shells and paste it into a browser, Notepad, Konsole, etc. it displays correctly. I've tried changing fonts, changing code pages, checking registry entries and even an in-place reinstall of Windows, all to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?
Best HEIC Viewer - view heic files on Windows 11?
Hi all, A lot of photos from newer iPhones are saved in HEIC format instead of JPG or PNG. The image quality is good and the file size is smaller, but HEIC files are not always easy to view heic files on a Windows 11 computer. The main problem is that some photo apps do not support HEIC by default, or they require extra codecs before the images can be viewed. Online HEIC viewers exist, but uploading personal photos to a random website does not feel safe. A desktop HEIC viewer would be better, especially one that can open files quickly, show clear previews, and maybe support batch viewing. What is the best HEIC viewer for Windows 11? A free tool would be great, but a simple paid app is also fine if it works well and is easy for beginners.Can't login to site using Yubikey via Firefox
Hello, about 3 - 4 weeks ago I used my Yubikey to login to a secure site via Firefox. Yesterday I again tried to login to the same site using my Yubikey and failed. An error messaged appears as per the screen shot. I then tried another two browsers (Edge, Vivaldi) and succeeded in using both browsers to login using my Yubikey. I also was able to login to (using my Yubikey) the same site via Firefox on my Windows laptop without issue. My two Firefox apps are not linked in any way. Has anyone else come across this issue and know of a way to fix the problem? I manged to find and lose a reddit post that discussed the same problem. In the end the reddit author said it was a windows issue and fixed via Settings > Privacy & Security > Passkeys (very bottom of the page). The author said he granted permission to Firefox to use the Yubikey via the "Let apps create and use passkeys" drop down. I attempted this, but the dropdown doesn't open (or is empty), regardless of the status of the "Passkey access" button which was initially on. In the "recent activity" drop down I can see requests from Firefox, Edge and Vivaldi. I have also reached out to the Firefox community for help on the subject.
Driver Update for Dual Band Wireless AC 7265 Causes Windows Crash
Hello. So I just reinstalled windows 11 pro on my computer from a flash drive because I was having issues. After it was finished, installed updates and it started crashing with an ndis.sys error. After reinstalling a few times, I discovered this update seems to be the issue: "Intel driver update for Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265" After that one finishes installing, the ndis.sys error happens immediately. Computer forces a restart. It will work fine for a few minutes and then the ndis.sys error will happen again. Going to the windows update screen seems to trigger it immediately Anyway, now I am intentionally avoiding installing this driver update. I have Windows 11 Pro so I went into group editor and switched automatic driver updates to off. However....this doesn't seem like the ideal solution. Anyone have any suggestions? I understand I can go to the intel website and download the update manually....but I am not in the mood to try it just to have to do a reinstall again. Any other suggestions?Wifi not working after deleting capability access manager db
is there someone here with some computer windows know how - I was having a problem with the capability accessmanager database consuming all my hard drive space and so every bit of advice I found online from even windows forums was to simply delete the db file and windows will automatically recreate it but it will eliminate the enormous file upon next restart I did that and now though I don't have any wifi connection and I get an error message in services when I try to restart the capability access manager service - I don't know what to do now I have windows 11. All the advice I found online was saying that if you delete the database file that is okay because windows just recreates it when you restart as long as Capability Access manager service isn't disabled - well I didn't disable it, I just followed the directions to go into safe.mode and delete the db file But now after restarts the Capability access manager remains disabled and I can't start it in the services.mscHow can I make a qr code free with logo (no sign-up required)
Need to create a qr code for a website link, but most tools ask for sign-up or payment before adding a logo. The goal is to make a simple QR code with a custom logo in the center, completely free and without creating an account. Tested a few online free qr code generators, but either the logo feature is locked or the qr code expires after some time. Using a Windows 11 PC. Is there any reliable way to make a qr code free without sign up? Also, any simple steps or tools that actually work would be helpful.
