Hard crashing issues
Hello, I just wanted to ask for help regarding some issues with my pc which is using windows 11. In the past, I have had issues with the computer crashing, causing even the power button to stop working and forcing a hard reset. I had put this down to a faulty motherboard, however after getting the board replaced a few weeks ago I have had a crash of the same type, causing me to redownload drivers, and another today. However, this time things are slightly different, as the computer has created a minidump file associated with the issue, which hasn't happened before. I have copied the main minidump text below- please can you let me know what caused the issue? If it helps I was playing Helldivers 2 at the time of both recent faults, but haven't found anyone else who have had this crashing issue in game. Many thanks.

RDP to Windows 11 workstations don't work!
Good morning We are currently migrating our workstations from Windows 10 to Windows 11. We currently have 7 computers migrated and we use remote access to them for teleworking employees. It turns out that using RDP, those who access Windows 10 computers do so without problems, but those who access Windows 11 computers have many problems with access, which is slow and crashes easily. And this happens, we tested, even when accessing from a computer on the same network as the Windows 11 computers. I've been on the internet trying to find solutions and I haven't found any definitive solutions, just suggestions like try this or try this other thing! I would like to know if anyone knows what is happening and how to overcome this problem. The Windows 11 installed is 24H2 build 26100.2894. Thank you very much! Best regards Miguel Branco da Silva
Possible to install windows 11 without microsoft account?
Hello tech community members, I'm new to Windows and want to install Windows 11 on a PC given by my dad, but I don't have a Microsoft account and I'm not planning to create one. I've heard that it's possible to bypass the Microsoft account requirement during the installation process, but I'm not sure how to do it. Could anyone provide a step-by-step guide or any tips on how to install Windows 11 without Microsoft account? Any help would be greatly appreciated! [Latest update] Please don't send private message any more as I don't have time replying one by one. If you had the same question, please follow this step-by-step-guide with screenshots to get it done. I already successfully installed Windows 11 on my PC without Microsoft account. You can also contact the support to send you the custom ISO to skip the Microsoft account requirement.Can't enter pin
I was suddenly unable to enter my PIN on the login screen both at boot and restart. Nothing from the keyboard at all. I swapped keyboards - nothing. I followed my newly gained knowledge to delete my PIN and after logging in with my password I reset my PIN - nothing. I tried quite a few other things then finally reimaged with my image from just the problem started - nothing. In the end it was solved by adding another, this time local, user account.Why do I have to have Bluetooth turned on for file sharing over network?
In setting up file sharing between two of my PCs, which was not without drama, believe me, the OS told me that I have to have Bluetooth enabled for this to work. I am sharing over the LAN, why do I need Bluetooth enabled? I have Bluetooth and WIFI on my motherboard and both are turned off because I don't want the extra radiation. Since the PC sits on my desk, I especially don't want it in my eyes due to the risk of cataracts. I just don't get why Bluetooth has to be enabled in this case. It's still turned off in BIOS, so what good does it do?
Robocopy Don't save
I ask those who use this Microsoft utility, if there is a way to not delete a previously saved file, if currently in use. In practice I have been using this utility for many years, but among all its parameters, I have never found the one that suits me. In practice, if I opened the Outlook program, the pst file is blocked, too bad that using /MIR the previously saved file is deleted and replaced with .tmp that are unusable. Does anyone have the solution?SATA Hard drives not visible.
I have upgraded to Windows 11. Clean install. Operating system is on M2 SSD. After the upgrade only the M2 drive is visible. All of my other drives aren't accessible. They show in the BIOS but not in Device Manager or Disk Management. Bios is up to date. Serial ATA Controller in Device Manager shows error and will not allow an update. Tried to manually load SATA driver but no joy. Having a backup drive that I can't access defeats the object. Any ideas to allow access to my other drives gratefully received.
