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 17, 2025Copper Contributor83Views0likes5CommentsOther System icons
I am having issue where i need to go to Taskbar Setting every few weeks. For some weird reason Windows 11 decides to turn off Discord on Icon off in Taskbar Settings -> Taskbar -> Other System tray Icons I dont like to have every icon on Taskbar always so I dont mind if I need to go to setting and turn it off once, but for some weird reason Discord keep getting Disabled every week or so. And I always like to have discord Icon on so i can see if i am connected to any servers or if my Mic is muted of not Does anyone have any solutions to permanently fix this ?DutisFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor56Views0likes3CommentsDLL files stopped working and I'm unable to delete folders (invalid file handle)
Since the latest windows update i noticed that I am unable to start all my modded games that use DLL files and I sometimes can't delete folders. Regarding applications/games I get the following message: I've found nothing online regarding the 0xc0000037 error code. And im guessing that this plays a factor in my inability to delete folders since the update. I can get the following message: (I also got the "Invalid file handle" error while trying to upload one of these pictures here.) It's completely random which folders are affected, some i can delete with no problems, with others i get the message, have to go into the folder, delete all contents, then go back and delete it again. If that folder contains several subfolders i'll have to go that deep and delete the contents from the inside out. Regarding troubleshoots, I've tried reverting my windows version and my nvidia graphic drivers to previous states, to no success. I did try and download both VC_redist.x64 and 86 by repairing the existing ones and restarting my system. Also didn't help. I've read on another forum that i should delete all existing microsoft visual c++ files ( i have about 14 ranging from 2008 to 22 installed) and reinstall the lates ones, but other people have adviced against it, stating it might break my system. I've looked online for dll fixes with some cmd prompts, but got the following error messages when using two of them: PS C:\Users\capta> sfc /scannow Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 13% complete. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. 2. PS C:\Users\capta> DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.22621.2792 Image Version: 10.0.22631.4890 [==================== 35.2% ] Error: 6 The handle is invalid. Im guessing this is further proof that something is up with the dll files on my system. Might this even be a hardware issue? How would i know? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.cptnbeefFeb 17, 2025Occasional Reader14Views1like0CommentsDisplay is stuck at 175% and cannot reset
I've tried so many times to reset the scale back to normal but it is literally stuck at 175%. I have tried setting it to 100% and 'turn off custom scaling' but nothing works. There is no button to actually reset it either. I'm out of options.. does anyone have any ideas that might work? Last image is how my web browser and any app I open looks like. Very difficult to use.MakirollFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes1CommentQuestion about Windows 11 clean install with rufus
Hi experts, I am not a tech savvy and need some advice for installing Windows 11 on my two PCs. The old one was bought 6 years ago and the cpu is not supported by Windows 11. The new one was built recently and it is fully supported by Windows 11 system requirements. I made a bootable Windows 11 USB with rufus but the USB is not working. What is the correct steps for Windows 11 clean install with rufus or should I use another tool to make a Windows 11 bootable USB? I am confusing now!Sideny_StrouthFeb 17, 2025Iron Contributor1.4KViews0likes7CommentsHow do you fix missing dll files on Windows 11?
I recently encountered some problems on Windows 11. When I started a certain program, it always prompted that the DLL file was missing. I checked and found that many people have this problem. I would like to ask everyone, is there any simple way to fix missing dll files on Windows 11? I tried a few methods myself, but it was still not stable. First, I tried restarting the computer. Sometimes these simple operations can solve the problem, but this time it didn't seem to work. Then, I ran sfc /scannow from the command line, and it didn't seem to have any special effect. In short, there is no perfect solution yet. If you have experience or useful suggestions, please share them!StaceyAbramsFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor705Views0likes11CommentsWindows update KB5051987 for Windows 11 stops File Explorer from working
I have a Geekom NUC12 which is a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H 2.30 GHz, also known as a Serpent Canyon NUC 12. It is running Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 and Windows Update was set to "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available". After installing KB5051987 yesterday, File explorer simply would not start. This is intolerable as this machine is the "master" machine in my home network. I have 5 other machines living in my basement, and I use Remote Connections to manage each of them, if I can't use File Explorer, then I can't get to any of these machines without going up and down the stairs every time! Do Microsoft not bother to test their updates anymore?PatrickHarrisFeb 17, 2025Iron Contributor125Views0likes0CommentsPC won't go to Windows

How to fix that? Even IDM that I always put in the right corner would be moved on the left side of the screen, never had that problem? It seems to appeared after upgrading to 24H2. It usually happens after monitor turns screen off after some time, but I think that I saw that happening even randomly.RasBarakaFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor165Views0likes3Comments
