Windows 11 cold boot keyboard issues.
Hi, I recently upgraded a Lenovo T470 from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. Everything works on the upgrade except the keyboard on a cold boot. From a power off state if I turn the laptop on when it launches into Windows 11 the keyboard and the eraserpoint mouse do not work; the touchpad does work. If I warm boot the machine the keyboard and eraserpoint mouse work fine until the machine is turned off again. I've tried changing drivers and going through all of the troubleshooting with the keyboard but to no avail. Outside of windows (pre-boot & BIOS) the keyboard works fine. Previously in Windows 10 there were never any issues with the keyboard. I have compared drivers with like systems running Windows 10. The driver is the same Standard PS/2 keyboard. Any help is appreciated. Regards, LarzukLarzukFeb 11, 2025Occasional Reader6Views0likes0CommentsWhy is my Win 11 slower than Win 10?
When I upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 on my laptop, I noticed a significant decrease in performance. Tasks that used to be swift now take noticeably longer, and overall system responsiveness has decreased. From boot times to opening applications and navigating the interface. Despite my laptop meeting the system requirements for Win11, the transition has resulted in a frustrating experience where productivity is hampered by sluggish performance. I'm seeking assistance to understand and potentially resolve this issue.SlantCutFeb 11, 2025Copper Contributor8.1KViews3likes6Commentswindows 11 moves apps and pop-up windows to top left of screen
Windows 11 23H2 moves apps and pop-up windows to top left of screen. This is on a Dell Precision laptop, with 2 external monitors connected via dock. Whenever a new app is opened, it opens on the primary screen, regardless what screen the app was opened and closed last. Similarly, any pop-up windows such as print dialog, are automatically moved to top left of primary screen. Similarly, any in-app message windows, breadcrums (SolidWorks) appear on the primary screen whilst the app is on a second screen. I have performed the following "checks": System > Multiple displays > "Remember window location based on monitor connection" is Checked. System > Display > Display scale is set at 100% for all screens. System > Multi-tasking > Snap windows is ON Running Windows 11 23H2, all updates up to date. Have performed "Reinstall". None of the above fixed the problem. Problem occurs with or without external monitors connected. Problem only started mid January 2025 (2-3 weeks ago). Updated to 24H2 (early Feb), problem persists.WojtekRFeb 11, 2025Occasional Reader19Views0likes2CommentsUSB key and Navigation Pane

After a recent update, my version of Windows 11 Home is now having issues validating my product key and asking me to reactivate. I've had the PC for almost a year and have had no major issues until I updated/restarted a couple of days ago. I also get the Activate Windows text in the bottom right corner of my screen. After doing a little web search it seems like there was a similar problem years ago, but couldn't find a solution that worked for my situation. Anyone else having this problem and find a fix? I can't even adjust my sound output anymore, which is pretty annoying. Thanks in advance!makeitrainFeb 11, 2025Occasional Reader16Views0likes2CommentsAbout the windows managed pagefile size
When windows increases and decreases the size,does it actually creates a file(writes to the ssd) For example if windows set it to 8gb and at some point doubles the size even if windows is currently not using not even close to 16gb,does iy actually writes 16gb to the ssd Is it better to set a fixed size than letting windows constantly increase\decrease the size And also does it matters if I move the page file to another partition if that partition is part of the same ssd that the windows is installed onSolvedFrederickkFeb 11, 2025Iron Contributor31Views0likes2CommentsCannot log into profile on safe boot
Hi, all, as the title suggests, I'm having trouble signing into my profile when launching Windows in safe boot. If I only have pin activated as form of login, the login screen will simply tell me that my password is unavailable and I cannot even type it in to confirm it. If I disable forced Windows Hello and attempt to enter my Microsoft account password, it will pretend that what I have entered is incorrect (I did ensure I entered the right password, tried it in-browser afterwards and got in immediately). Any idea on how to fix this?SolvedAnthonionFeb 11, 2025Iron Contributor18Views0likes2Comments- Allison_DeleonEFeb 11, 2025Iron Contributor17Views0likes2Comments
