Sudden crashes and BSOD in Win10
Hello! I have an Asus Vivobook 15, that came with Keep-OS and I installed Windows 11 using the official website and step by step. Last week it started crashing and having BSOD's, getting stuck on boot and sometimes not even recognizing the OS (win11). It started after a Win Update. Since I haven't found a solution and Asus does not care for the consumer, had no alternative and downgraded to Win 10. I'm still facing some crashes and BSOD. I checked the SDD, manually and with Crystal Disk Info (98% health), checked the fan... I really don't know what else to do. https://1drv.ms/u/c/7f13816d644baeb5/IQCrQrt8VfRkRZAOG5BT6By0ASV3wLkzdMiLZ-ctbrSsW84?e=PTUVlN Here is the System Events Log.Windows 10 ESU enrollment lost after factory reset – previously purchased and working fine
Hello, I purchased the Extended Security Updates (ESU) for my Windows 10 (version 22H2) device in November 2025 through the official Windows Update enrollment process (linked to my Microsoft/Outlook account). Everything worked perfectly at the time: the enrollment appeared in slmgr /dlv output, the "Your device is enrolled for Extended Security Updates" message showed in Windows Update, and I was receiving the monthly ESU security patches (including the latest ones up to early 2026). Recently, I performed a factory reset (reset to factory settings / "Reset this PC" with the option to remove everything) on the same hardware. After the reset and setting up Windows again (signed in with the same Microsoft account), the ESU enrollment is no longer active or recognized. From what I've read, a factory reset / clean reinstall wipes the local ESU entitlement data (since it's device-specific activation tied to the hardware ID and registry), even though the purchase is linked to my Microsoft account. Questions / what I'm hoping for: Is there a way to re-activate / re-enroll the existing paid ESU subscription on this reset device without repurchasing? (Since it's the same hardware and same Microsoft account.) Should running cmd /c ClipESUConsumer.exe -evaluateEligibility (as admin) + reboot + check Windows Update restore it automatically? If not, does Microsoft Support need to manually re-link the entitlement on their backend?
Latest Windows 10 build 10.0.19045 not recognizing Brother MFC-8440 printer
Windows recently did updates on my Desktop and two laptops. All of them have Windows 10 build 10.0.19045 as of this writing. I cannot make the Brother MFC-8440 printer working any of these computers. When I remove the USB printer and hook is back I hear the bell. In fact from Windows Scanner and Fax, I can scan a document from my MFC-8440 printer. But when I try to print something the printer is not listed. I see the MFC-8440 printer listed under Device Manager -> Software Devices - Which is very unusual. Shouldn't the printer be listed under Printers or Print Queues? I tried to add the Printer Driver under Settings->Printers and Scanners -> +Add a printer or scanner -Search does not bring up the MFC-8400 printer clicked 'The printer that I want isn't listed' -clicked 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings' -I can see the MFC-8400 listed in 'Choose a printer Port' list, and I selected that -Clicked the 'Windows Update' in the next 'Install the printer driver' screen MFC-8440 driver is not even getting listed This same thing happens in all 3 machines I have with Windows 10 build 10.0.19045 update.
Photos app opens images sometimes without all of the file info, and displays this error message.
I thought this was interesting. This doesn't regularly occur but seems to be some sort of error or failsafe. I used a .bat file to open some images, which I've done about 100 times without any error message. This last time it displayed this error message and failed to populate all of the file info. I captured the screenshots, and you can see in the last screenshot that when I view the file in the File Explorer directly the file contains the missing info. The system opened the image, displayed the error message but still allowed me to interact with the image, only not populating all of the file info.How to launch a command in a command prompt at startup?
When Windows 10 starts, I would like to automatically launch a command line that requires the cmd.exe command prompt in administrator mode to launch correctly? The task in question is the music server: Navidrome. The Navidrome service launches fine at startup, but not the executable that provides access to the music database and web interface. I tried to create a task at startup, but it won't launch: SCHTASKS /CREATE /TN "navidrome" /TR "C:\Services\navidrome\navidrome.exe" /SC ONSTART /RL HIGHEST It is well created and is on the task list: SCHTASKS/QUERY but it does not run at startup. Do you have an idea to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.PC lent (Chrome, explorateur...) pendant copie de fichiers
Hello I have noticed, for some time, that when I transfer files (SSD -> external HDD to USB3) the PC is rather slowed down. Pages in Chrome load very, very slowly (less slowly with Firefox). My processor is an i7 10700K, 32GB RAM. Usage through Task Manager is 13% for CPU, 40% memory and 18% for hard drive... Do you have a lead? This doesn't seem particularly normal to me...
Why Does the Properties Window Still Display in Light Theme Under Windows 10 Dark Mode?
The system theme is set to dark mode, but the right-click properties window for files or folders continues to display in light theme, which is inconsistent with other dark interfaces in the system. It is unclear whether this behavior is intended by Windows 10 design, a known bug, or something that can be adjusted through settings. Seeking a specific explanation and possible fixes or methods to unify the appearance.Periodic Stuttering for Several Seconds After Waking from Sleep in Windows 10
After the device wakes from sleep mode, brief periods of complete system freezing (mouse cannot move) occur every few minutes, followed by all interrupted operations resuming simultaneously as if fast-forwarded. This issue can currently only be temporarily resolved by restarting the computer. I would like to know the specific causes and a permanent solution.An unfamiliar woman's image appears on a Windows 10 blue screen?
An unfamiliar woman's image/photo (not the system's default blue screen style) appeared on the computer's blue screen of death (BSOD) interface, after which the system automatically rebooted and temporarily returned to normal. I am currently scanning with third-party software but am uncertain whether this image is a visual anomaly implanted by malware/viruses or a display corruption caused by driver or hardware failure. Need to assess the risk level and determine further steps for handling.
