Cannot printscreen contextual menu?
Simple question, normally printscreen was just... taking a printscreen. Now it offers you option, so it causes problem. If opening contextual menu on Desktop (Right Click) then doing printscreen... then you have to click anywhere to take a printscreen (select a zone) and it just fails. So there is no way to take a printscreen in that case.
How to efficiently clean up disk space in windows 11?
Hi, I don't know why my disk is full. The c drive takes about 100 GB storage after Windows 11 update. I've already used Disk Cleanup and Storage Sense, but I'm still struggling with low disk space. Are there any advanced methods or tools to efficiently clean up disk space in windows 11? I suspect there might be hidden large files or old Windows update leftovers taking up space. Thanks in advance for your help!
Windows 11 Home Actual Technical Support
Is there a way to get in contact with a real-life human being for MS Windows 11 technical support? Tried the MS support web sites and can't get past the AI Chat Bot. It only gives you high level links to different support pages, none of which get you to an agent. Tried the 1-800-642 number and AI answering bot just gives web site info and then hangs up on you. Has MS stopped actual human interaction for support Windows 11 home and Windows 365? I am, actually embarrassed that I have to resort to this post avenue to try for an answer. If there is a way, I am specifically looking for technical support on Windows 11 BitLocker error. None of the MS Security, MS Windows 11 technical support or community web sites post anything concerning this error. Really need to open a ticket and speak to a support agent to get this resolved. Any help would be super appreciated. Thank you, SimplyHumanWindows 11 25H2 suddenly froze during normal use.

When connected to W11 Laptop via Bluetooth, Samsung note 10+ cannot enable audio but enables Calls. So, when my Samsung note 10+ is connected via Bluetooth to my Win 11 laptop, I can enable calls, but not audio. When slide the Audio button on, it immediately slides back off. (see pic)This phone connects with all my other devices and plays audio on them. Only with this Windows machine does it fail. I've tried all the fixes I could find. FYI, I do have a MOTU M2 digital interface attached to this laptop. I use it for MIDI/Audio IN/OUT on the computer using Reaper DAW. Could the interface be the problem?System restore fails due to Intel iCLClient file

Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V stopped working
After working perfectly for years usin my Lenovo laptop, now when I try to copy or paste using the keyboard shortcuts they do not work. For instance Ctrl +V ends up simply as "v" not what I was trying to paste. How did this stop working all of a sudden? How can I fix it? For now I have been using Right Click and then choosing the option to cut or paste and that still works. Thank you for your help! LarryWhat is the Best place for Windows 7 ISO download in 2025
I'm trying to find trustworthy sources for downloading a Windows 7 ISO in 2025, and I'm concerned about where to look. As support for Windows 7 has ended, I'm aware that finding a legitimate and safe Windows7 ISO download might be challenging. I'd like to ensure that the download is not only genuine but also free from malware or other risks. If anyone has experience or recommendations for reliable websites or platforms where I can obtain an ISO file for Windows 7, it would be greatly appreciated. I’m particularly interested in options that provide clear verification of the download’s authenticity, as I don't want to fall victim to scams or insecure downloads.I believe many others in the community might have similar concerns, so sharing any personal experiences or tips could benefit us all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Update: I finally found a recommended tool on Reddit called ISOMate7. (https://www.wizzgear.com/isomate7.html). It allows me to download different versions of Windows 7 ISO image files completely, the download speed is fast, and there are no ads or suspicious links! You can use it with confidence!

Yesterday I decided to freshly install windows on a new SSD (via a bootable USB). Since then I have been encountering problems regarding the setup of Windows. I always get to the point of the first reset but not further as my SSD won’t be recognized as a bootable Source and therefore not listed in the UEFI hence my problem. The SSD shows up however when I turn on legacy mode, but won’t Boot via that setting. (And that being in the fact, that I installed it via UEFI and therefore with GPT). I tried everything, using the legacy data method to install it, and so on, nothing works. I changed ssd and therefore the cables, i changes my bios to the newest version and everything I could find in the forums. Now I am asking you, might it be a hardware related problem, or what are you thinking? The problems started a day before the reset, when I accidentally plugged out my pc while working on it- since then the wifi - network - adapter from intel stopped working- so I tried to install it again. When I turned off my computer to restart, I was caught in a bluescreen wall. The automatic repair tool seems to be corrupted too, which is why I decided to freshly install windows on a new SSD, without success. I am asking you now, what are you thinking- what might the problem be? Can it be software/driver related even though I’m trying a fresh install? Or might it be a hardware error on the behalf of my motherboard or my SATA Ports maybe? Thank you in advance, I’ll try to answer by the minute- to help others encountering that problem too, as it’s very frustrating to sit down for hours with no end in sight. Ian
Can't find facial ID setup on Windows 11 Pro
Windows are making user a lot of hard time. I bought the computer today with Windows 11 Pro installed. There is no way I can select Facial ID setup. After watching some youtube video, I got into the system --> optional features. But I accidently delete the feature. Now, I am adding back, but it takes almost 0.5 hour. Even I managed to add it back, it still could not find any way to set it up. Can someone help?Slow Printing HP Futuresmart 5.9.0.2
Hello everyone, I am testing Universal Print with an HP MFP running Futuresmart 5.9.0.2, and overall I find it quite interesting 😀 However, it is extremely difficult to get support from printer manufacturers, and there is very little feedback or shared experience available 😢 During my tests, I noticed internal processing delays (=DownloadTime–FinalTime) on the HP MFP that vary without any apparent Reason (printing PDF from W11/EDGE and content-type is Application/PDF). In addition, I observed significant differences in internal processing time for certain documents (such as plans) between Universal Print Cloud printing and direct TCP/IP 9100 printing. The delay increases from 2 minutes of processing to 3 minutes. I contacted HP support, but it is very complicated to get assistance regarding Universal Print. Do you have any insights? How should I proceed? Thank you in advance, and have a great day ☀️Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken
A major new Windows 11 update has introduced widespread stability issues affecting core system functionality.

Hi everyone, my laptop broke down recently. The power button didn't respond at all. It should be the motherboard or power supply that has a problem. However, the data in the hard drive is very important to me, and now I don't know how to get it out. Is there an easy way to fix it myself, or do I need to find a professional to help recover data from laptop hard drive? The hard drive is a normal HDD, and the interface should be SATA. If additional tools or equipment are needed, it would be fine to recommend some easy-to-use ones. Thank you for your suggestions! 😊
