Hi folks, been a long time since I visited here, I hope everyone is doing well and has happy holidays this year. So I have a Windows 10 enterprise, installation and: 1 I turned off a lot of analytics in this install, all before I turned on the internet access. 2) Now when I click on some random files (but not every file), I get a quick small blank popup for a fraction of a second, and the file doesn't open. (this was happening before I turned the internet on, and is still happening afterwards). 3) One of the files that was blinking out was throwing a Microsoft popup from the right side of the screen and when I clicked on it, it said Windows was not allowing it to run, so I click on that window and turned that one off. Well the random files keep shutting down anyway. Anyone here have a fix or at least an explanation for what might be happening?QuincosDec 16, 2025Iron Contributor30Views0likes2CommentsSmartphone-Link Pictures
Hey everyone, I set up the windows-built in "Smartphone-Link" with my Smartphone, to have a convenient access to my Pictures-Gallery. I can go through my Smartphone-Gallery, nice, but the pictures just show in reduced quality. I.E. Original on my phone: 3072x4080 pixels, and on the windows-app: 1611 x 2139 pixels. WHY?! okay to reduced traffic, kind of thumbnail, I get it, but there is not a single function to syncronise the original Pictures through this app. very very poor and not professional! Microsoft please fix! Greetings Infinityinfinity_94Dec 16, 2025Copper Contributor268Views0likes1CommentPC Frequently Frozen with GPU Acceleration

Audio from videos containing Dolby Audio cannot be played within Movies & TV APP. My Dolby Access is purchased and activated, and there are no issues with the sound card driver. My system is running on Windows 10 LTSC edition, and while both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are activated within Dolby Access, I find that Windows Movies & TV fails to decode all Dolby formats including Dolby Atmos audio tracks, resulting in no sound output, even though the color reproduction of Dolby Vision is accurate. Strangely, within the same Movies & TV application, DTS-HD and DTS:X audio tracks play without any issues. Even more puzzling, the open-source VLC player is capable of properly activating and utilizing Dolby Atmos audio tracks and displaying compatibility with Dolby Atmos for Headphones. What should I do?MingjiePanDec 16, 2025Copper Contributor320Views0likes1CommentWhat is the best disk clone software for Windows PC?
The internal disk is only a 256GB SSD in my Windows 10 PC and I bought a new SSD to solve the free space not enough issue. However, I don't want to reinstall Windows os and apps. I heard disk cloning software is able to copy the os and apps. Is this true? I need something reliable to clone my entire system drive to a new SSD without losing any data. Ideally, the tool should support bootable disk cloning, handle large drives, and offer decent speed and error handling. I heard a few disk cloning software for windows but not sure which one is the most trustworthy in 2025. If you've recently cloned a drive on Windows 10 or 11, I'd love to hear what worked well for you and why. Any pros and cons, gotchas, or performance notes are also welcome! Thanks in advance!SolvedParisaGulDec 16, 2025Iron Contributor14KViews0likes10CommentsMsinfo32.exe not able to open .nfo files
Hello, being a first timer I hope I found a proper subcategory for my post. Does msinfo32.exe have any known problems that still require fixing? I have encountered quite enormous difficulties providing an .nfo file to the 3rd party vst plugin manufacturer who requested it for troubleshooting reasons. Whenever I create a system information file with msinfo23 (using save as) I´m not able to open the newly created file with msinfo32 and the plugin manufacturer´s customer service can´t either. I get a notification "System information cannot open this .nfo file. the file may be corrupt or incompatible with this version of the information system." Today I had two chat and remote sessions with Microsoft customer service. Some registry issues were fixed in my laptop, but the problem with the msinfo32 persisted. The second customer servant concluded that msinfo32 isn´t able to handle big enough files (my .nfo:s being ~3600 kb). Is this a known issue? Out of curiosity I opened the .nfo file in jsonformatter.org/xml-viewer. When I asked the viewer to validate the xml code it showed some errors: It seems that there could be tag name missing for example on the line 176: there are only empty brackets <> and </>. I´m not very familiar with XML, but could this have something to do with msinfo32 seeing the .nfo file incompatible/corrupted?McInenDec 15, 2025Copper Contributor1.3KViews0likes1CommentMedia Creation Tool Stops without completion
I need to refresh Win installation. Windows update will not run and I have read all I could find and preformed all steps but it still will not run and there are other problems. When I run Media Installation Tool from a stick or a CD I get message that installation was stopped in the Safe OS phase. One error is 0x800704. StetupDiag also will not run so I cannot see what driver may be interfering. Read everything on the subject and followed all steps I could find. I also got error 0xc1900101 when install stopped in Safe phase of media installation. I have been working on this for two weeks and simply cannot make any progress. Windows update still will not run. If anyone can help me I would be so very gratefulWM35894Dec 15, 2025Copper Contributor516Views0likes1CommentIs Windows 10 better than Windows 11?
I've been using Windows 10 for a while now, but I'm considering upgrading to Windows 11. I've heard mixed reviews about the new operating system and I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade. I've been wondering if Windows 11 has any significant improvements or features that would make it a better choice than Windows 10. For example, is the user interface more intuitive? Are there any new security features that would make my computer more secure? I'd love to hear from people who have experience with both operating systems and can compare the two.RobbsertDec 15, 2025Copper Contributor738Views0likes1Comment
