How to move Windows recovery partition to end of disk without risking data?
Hi. I am looking for assistance with moving the Windows recovery partition to the end of hard drive. Currently, the recovery partition is positioned in the middle of the disk, and I need to relocate it to free up space for additional applications and data. I am unsure of the safest method to accomplish this without risking data loss or corrupting my system. If anyone has experience with this process or can recommend software that facilitates moving partitions, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Windows location service persistently reports weird incorrect location
Since approximately March-April 2026 My Windows 11 Pro x64 started reporting strange and incorrect location information to applications that request it, primarily web browsers. I'm located in San Francisco Bay Area, California, but every web site that relies on location information (Google Maps, Bing Maps, Starbucks etc.) stubbornly places me at location 44.97320223006452, -93.35278344048427 in Minneapolis (Golden Valley, MN to be precise) What is that location? And why has this started happening? My default location in Windows 11 settings is also specified correctly, i.e. it contains my correct address in California. However, this has no effect on the above strange behavior. The computer in question is a desktop with no WiFi capabilities, just an Ethernet connection. Another Windows 10 Pro x64 desktop computer on the same LAN (also Ethernet connection) has no such problems. Windows 10 on that machine is locating itself properly. Various "where am I" web sites that determine my location by my external IP address also work correctly even on the problematic Windows 11 computer, i.e. they correctly place me in California. However, everything that works through Windows Location on that machine places me in Minneapolis. What gives?
The Wi-Fi issue of my laptop (running Windows 11)
I'm experiencing Wi-Fi issues with my Windows 11 laptop where the connection keeps dropping randomly or is extremely slow at times, making it difficult to browse or stream content smoothly. I've tried restarting my router and laptop, but the problem persists, and I’m not sure if it's a driver problem, network settings, or something else entirely.My Windows 11 Cannot connect to the internet
My computer suddenly cannot connect to the internet, even though other devices on the same network are working fine. I have already tried restarting my PC and router, but the issue persists, and I keep getting a "No Internet Access" or "Connected, No Internet" message in the taskbar.
BiDi broke in Windows 11
After years of no-problem Arabic in both Windows 10 and 11, Arabic text is now being displayed left-to-right in command prompt, Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7.6.2 (I've removed Windows Terminal to simplify things). In PowerShell ISE, in Konsole (windows .exe build) and all apps (Notepad, Office, Notepad ++, etc.) Arabic is displayed correctly right-to-left. In the Windows shells the letters are shaped and joined correctly but display left to right. . If I copy Arabic text from one of the misbehaving shells and paste it into a browser, Notepad, Konsole, etc. it displays correctly. I've tried changing fonts, changing code pages, checking registry entries and even an in-place reinstall of Windows, all to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?From Windows 11 to Linux, need help!
Recently, I built a new computer with two hard drives: one for the Windows system (which stores approximately 3 games from the Steam library, as these games do not support Linux), and the other for my Linux gaming system. Previously, I used Bazzite to play indie games on my old computer, and my partner and I could collaborate. But recently, when running Garuda, after moving from a small SATA SSD to the new NVMe solid-state drive, I encountered problems. So I switched to CachyOS Plasma. Need help! Thanks.Windows has been updated. AMD Adrenaline no longer functions. Do you need any help?
I clearly told Windows Update to *pause* all updates, but it still continued to update several items including AMD Adrenaline. Now, every time I try to open this application, it prompts me that an update is needed... And when I try to download the update, the progress jumps directly to 100% and then closes. What should I do? I have already tried the AMD website, but their installation program only gives me the drivers, not the application itself.Mouse not working on tab in Windows 11
Recently, this situation has started to occur. I initially thought it was just a problem with the browser. When playing games, the loading process would automatically switch to other tabs, and occasionally the mouse couldn't interact with the tabs and could only be operated via the keyboard, but not the mouse. Today, I discovered that pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete or directly pressing the Esc key could solve the problem. The first click didn't respond, but after that it became normal. Now when I click, Windows 11 will make a notification sound, but it doesn't respond, so I think there might be something that occasionally blocks it. My mouse is from Razer, so I want to know if this is related to the software, but the software has already been updated. Flair on Hardware, because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or a program issue.
