Secure boot activated the computer no longer launches, repair mode
Hello I installed Windows 10 on my computer which is totally compatible with this one checked with whynotwin10 but once the installation is done being a valorant player I try to launch the game and send myself back because I would have to activate secure boot to play then I go to the bios activate secure boot so far so good until I restart my computer this one puts it in repair mode and I can no longer launch it blue screen with error C:\Windows\system32\Srt\SrtTrail.txt.This error only happens when secure boot is active because when I remove it my computer launches correctly as if nothing had happened I have already watched a lot of videos search in a lot of forums how to solve this problem and nothing at all.

Hi everyone, just scanned a lot of my old family photos but 50% of them are pretty blurry, grainy, or just faded. A friend mentioned that there are now "AI photo enhancers" that can automatically fix these kinds of issues. It sounds almost like magic, but I have no idea where to start. I don't need a bunch of fancy editing tools; I just want to upload a photo and have the program make it clearer and sharper. It would be amazing to bring some of these old pictures back to life, especially the ones of my grandparents. If you've used any of these AI photo enhancers yourself, I'd love to hear which one you liked best. Which one gave you the best results for making blurry faces clear and removing that old photo grain? Thank you so much for the help!GianmaisMar 16, 2026Iron Contributor4.8KViews2likes12Comments- islerMar 16, 2026Occasional Reader5Views0likes0Comments
Constant "Boot device not found" and "ran into a problem and needs to restart"
I have a 2017 HP Spectre laptop running Windows 10 Pro. Up until now it has been functioning near perfectly despite its age, and it's the only computer I want to use for the rest of my life if at all possible. I treat it like glass. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it that I can remember (except needing the battery replaced about a year ago, and occasional charging issues since then). Well, this past month or so, it's started giving me a "Boot device not found" black screen and/or the "ran into a problem and needs to restart" blue screen when I turn it on, whether it was hibernated or fully shut off. I tried to troubleshoot, but I'm not nearly tech-y enough to follow any of the suggestions I found, and I'm scared of messing something up. The message(s) would appear sporadically at first, but now it's literally EVERY TIME I turn it on. Restarting always clears the problem and then I can use my computer like normal, but it's been days since I was able to turn it on without needing an immediate restart. It probably wouldn't be smart to just leave it on or in sleep mode all the time, but I also don't know how good it is to let it crash every single time I start using it. And also this means I can't leave any files open, ever. I need to be able to put things aside overnight without worrying about losing them. I haven't noticed any other issues with my computer, either related or unrelated, but I am very worried about what happens if this persists or escalates somehow. What should I do? (Lmk if more info is needed. I haven't gotten a shot of the error code on the blue screen because it always flashes away too quickly to read, but I can try to catch it next time if that helps?)AquaHeartGirlMar 15, 2026Copper Contributor62Views1like3CommentsHow do I convert HEIC files to JPEGs in Windows 10?
It is the first time I came across .HEIC pictures. I don't know why the photos from my iPhone 16 Pro Mac are saved as .heic. When I imported the photos to my Windows 10 PC as backup, the heic images can be opened. Is there any simple way in 2025 that let me easily convert heic files to jpg in Windows 10 PC? There are roughly 1000 photos from the iPhone so I am looking for a fast and reliable HEIC to JPG converter for Windows 10. ThanksSolvedradmiruMar 15, 2026Iron Contributor55KViews0likes15Comments
