Number Lock issue STILL Happening
A while ago, Microsoft (in their infinite wisdom) destroyed the number lock feature on all PCs with a Windows 10 update. Year later - still an issue. Every PC I install I have to alter the registry to fix the number lock issue. Why has this not been addressed yet? 2 registry keys have to be changed every time. How hard would it be to update the code to fix this? I know it is a small thing but SO frustrating!
I accidentally deleted Windows 11 pro partition on Geekom A7
I accidentally deleted Windows 11 pro partition on Geekom A7 when trying dual booting with Linux mint. Hopefully I can reinstall windows 11 pro by using a boot-able USB but for some reason even tho I downloaded a new windows 11 iso it was reported it had no partition table. I still created a boot-able USB it turn out to be non boot-able. I can still use the computer using Linux mint however I cannot find a way of creating a boot-able Windows pro USB. Plus I do not know if I could, would it still be able to detect that I had a legal copy of windows pro and allow me to install it. I found advice about using media creation tool or windows 11 installation assistant, but can't because I have no installed windows. As said Linux still works windows does not. I would be grateful for any help. thanks Dave
How to force win11 to use a paging file?
I'm running into a problem where Windows 11 isn't utilizing a paging file, which is causing system crashes, slowdowns, and poor performance when running memory-intensive applications. Essentially, my system's memory management is struggling, and I'm wondering if there's a way to override Windows 11's default settings to force the operating system to use a paging file as a safety net to supplement the physical RAM and prevent crashes, thereby ensuring a smoother and more stable computing experience.Problem installing update (KB5050009)
From windows update install the cumulative update (KB5050009), as soon as it finishes the pc restarts, and it gives me the error "something did not work as expected. No need to worry: canceling changes in progress. Is there any solution, I read various solutions around but I have not solved it. Thanks in advance.What happened to my desktop icons?
I just got my first Windows 11 computer, and after spending a few days setting it up to the way I like it, I woke up one day and noticed that some of my desktop icons look puny now. Example: Unless I'm losing my marbles, I could've sworn that the Notepad2 icon was as big as the other two icons before -- why/how did it suddenly become so small? I've tried deleting all the icon caches and the issue remains. Since this is happening with older programs like Notepad2, I'm guess it's because they lack the larger icon sizes in their EXE file, but the question remains: how was Windows able to show the icons the same size as the others before? I'm 99.99% sure I have never seen these square borders around any of the desktop icons before because they are so off-putting I would've noticed it
How to create fedora bootable usb from Windows 11?
My 15 years old HP laptop is now running very slow with Windows 10 and I already got a new Windows 11 laptop. I'm planning to install Fedora on the old computer and need to create fedora bootable USB from Windows 11? I have downloaded the latest Fedora ISO file and have a USB flash drive with 32GB of storage, but I'm not sure which software to use or the exact steps involved in the process. Could someone provide a detailed, step-by-step guide that work well for this purpose on Windows 11?
