Moving down insider flights without clean install
I switched to the windows 11 canary channel thinking it'd be the most bleeding edge. It is, but not for an end user like me. Needless to say, I want to move back to the dev or beta channel. It seems I can't do this without a clean install of windows, one which doesn't keep settings, apps or even files. Is there any way to do what I want keeping even just my files?lukenotdukeJun 24, 2025Occasional Reader11Views0likes0CommentsQuestion PC reboot loop when trying to Install Windows 10 from USB stick ?
My PC blue screened last week. It was too quick to see the error message. Then I was stuck in the automatic repair loop. After some testing, I think the HDD failed (which has win 10 on it). I tested it using a usb adapter and none of the testing services showed any info about it (beyond it was detected). I also got the 0xc00000e error . I have a SSD and want to install Windows on it. I've got a USB stick with Windows 10 on it (downloaded from Microsoft). However, I'm having difficulties installing it. The USB stick is detected but when I boot from it, the Asus or Windows logo appears, the spinning circle appears for a couple of seconds, then a red line flashes across the screen and the PC reboots. Then the cycle starts over, again and again. I've tried fiddling with the BIOS settings, taken the GPU out, and nothing works. If anyone has any help that would be greatly appreciated.

I have an issue with Windows Defender Application Guard. When I attempt to open a new protected browser window in Edge, it shows a loading animation for a few seconds and then closes unexpectedly. I rarely use it, but I still would like it to work because I paid for the Windows license. The main reason I'm reaching out is because even if the feature is disabled or enabled, the FRST scan (I eyeball through those scan results like once a month, just to be sure everything is as it should) marks the "WDAGUtilityAccount" account with "<--- ATTENTION!". Additionally, I've observed that the "S-21-****" number varies in different locations; the last few digits differ on what I found in the registry and in the filesystem. This inconsistency doesn't seem normal to me. Can anyone advise on how to resolve this issue? Thank you. What I have tried: dism restorehealth and sfc scannow. chkdsk on all drives. Remove all features related to WDAG, boot, Enable them again. (containers, hyper-v, etc.) Some powershell re-registering attempts and other guides which I found on other help forums. Help that AI offered, which caused more problems, and I rolled back.PhoenixAdlerJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor29Views0likes4Commentshow can I find out who is managing my dns settings on my pc?

Hi, I have a Windows 10 PC but can't install Windows 11 on it because the internal hard drive is based on MBR but Windows 11 requires GPT. There are a lot of important data on this disk and I don't want to loss data during MBR to GPT conversion. How can I change mbr to gpt without data loss on a Windows PC? Is this possible?SephieJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor62Views0likes8CommentsAfter update
After the last Windows 11 update some of my hdd's were renamed. Not the end of the world but when I open in explorer Drive E shows 82.5 MB free of 512 MB and Drive T shows 0 of 463. But when I open E it show it is empty, and T shows 8 files. Is there a way to correct these issues or is it even worth doing? Thanks.AsherBrooksJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor10Views0likes0CommentsHow do you do pan/viewports on Windows 11?
I'm trying to create a 8192x 1080y virtual desktop with a 1920x1080 viewport that I can scroll around the virtual screen in. How does Windows 11 do this? It was easy to do in Windows 7 but I haven't been able to do it since the subsequent forced upgrades.PrestonYorkJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor4Views0likes0CommentsI have some weird screen tearing problem on Windows 11
When this happens, I have to drag the window or move my mouse over it for it to render the correct stuff. I really want this to not be my hardware but at this point I'm at my wits end with this. I've tried reinstalling my GPU drivers, I've tried opening my PC to make sure everything is connected properly, which I can say with confidence that it is. I do not know what the issue could be and help would be very much appreciated.AtticusPayneJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor23Views0likes2Comments
