Fix: Unable to log in with Microsoft Account
I own a high-performance PC running on the W11 Pro operating system, which has three user accounts. Two of these accounts are local, while the third one is linked to a Microsoft (outlook.com) account. Recently, when I attempted to switch to the Microsoft account, I encountered a frustrating issue - I could not enter the password correctly. Even using the onscreen keyboard did not help as the characters typed were not appearing in the password field. Despite rebooting the system, the problem persisted. Interestingly, both local accounts were functioning without any issues. To clarify, no characters were showing up in the password box when I attempted to type. I could only navigate around using the tab key and press enter for options like 'forgot password'. However, after some troubleshooting, I was able to resolve the issue by selecting the 'forgot password' option. By providing the rescue email address, I successfully completed the steps, canceled out, and was able to log into the MS account. The system had recently undergone some changes, including the addition of Veracrypt encryption and switching from a wireless to a wired mouse. Apart from these alterations, there were no other significant modifications made.Title: "Missing/NPST File"
I had Outlook 2016 and Excel 2016 open on my laptop. After leaving the laptop unattended for a period of time, I returned to find the screen was off due to the screensaver, possibly indicating that the laptop had gone into Sleep mode. Upon reactivating the screen, I noticed that Outlook was unable to connect to the Internet. Despite clicking on Send/Receive multiple times, there was no response. When attempting to close Outlook, I found that the program was unresponsive and frozen. I had to force the program to close using Task Manager. Upon trying to reopen Outlook, I encountered an error message stating that the Mail pst file could not be located. My Pst files are typically stored on a Micro SD card (D Drive). I searched through the D Drive using File Explorer, ExplorerXp, and MSDOS but could not locate the file. Subsequently, I tried various recovery software such as Disk Drill, File Scavenger, ScanPST, and Outlook Repair tools, but unfortunately, none of them were successful in locating the Mail pst file. It seems that the Mail pst file has inexplicably disappeared. Any assistance in recovering the pst file would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I share my work PC with another user, and I typically leave myself logged in with my preferences saved. However, when the other user restarts the PC, my settings revert to the company-provided background and my sticky notes do not automatically reload. I am looking for a solution to automatically launch the sticky notes program and customize my background to solid black by placing a bin file in the startup folder. This repetitive task has become tiresome, especially since I suspect that the other user may purposely restart the PC to trigger this reset. Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise Version 22H2.

File Explorer suddenly refusing to remember custom view settings
I maintain a bunch of folders containing nothing but program shortcuts, sort of like the Windows 3 Program Manager, and although I've configured File Explorer to details view, I always go back and set these to show icons. Since the last week or so, it doesn't remember the icon view for these folders across reboots. Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions?Solved C: Users Documents folder empty

I surprised my wife with a Lenovo laptop, but she decided to stick with her iPad instead. I divided the 1 TB SSH into two 500 GB partitions. If I perform a factory reset before selling it, will the SSH automatically revert back to 1 TB, or do I need to manually reconfigure it?
