Tablet/Desktopmode X1 Yoga Gen 4 Windows 11
I bought a used X1 Yoga Gen 4 from a German refurbished website. The laptop is working perfectly with just one issue. As I flip the screen, to use the laptop as a tablet, the switch mode between tablet mode and desktop mode is pretty inconsistent. I updated several drivers, made a diagnostic run on the Lenovo website and the problem still appears. After a flip, sometimes it gets into tablet mode, but after flipping it back, it stays in the mode, the taskbar is in tablet mode and keyboard and mouse pad is shut off. I need to restart the computer and it works. I tried several software solutions, but from now, nothing worked. In win 10 there have been a button on the pop up menu, or with win + A, that can toggle between tablet and desktop mode. It seems, that windows 11 deleted this possibility completely. I tried to do this manually with a ai suggested .bat Skript, that toggles between the two modes, or set the status to desktop or, tablet but this had no effect. Despairing of the solution methods, it could be the sensor... Does anyone else got this problems with win 11 and more importantly, would anyone have a suggestion for a solution? Thank you.Programs keep randomly crashing/reloading and so does my computer and I don't know why.
Hello! I hope this is the right place for this. I apologize in advance for the uncertain rambling. Computer stuff baffles me a bit. You might have to treat me like a little old grandparent despite being twentysomething. My laptop is an acer Predator Helios Neo 16, running Windows 11 Home. My system settings say that my RAM is "32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)", my processor is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX (2.20 GHz)", my system type "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor". The graphics coprocessor is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. (I'm not sure what CPU and GPU mean in this context so I hope that was answered here.) Lately, a lot of things have been crashing. Mostly Firefox randomly eating it (or Chrome, when I try to use that instead) and either needing me to refresh or restart the service completely--sometimes the tab crashes, sometimes the whole thing does; sometimes it even loses what I was doing in that tab/the window--but Discord keeps reloading mid-sentence, too. It doesn't crash entirely so much as just reload randomly and often.
Disable or remap Ctrl-S which switches to HDMI
I've been struggling with Ctrl-S switching the monitor to the HDMI port at odd times. I use Ctrl-S a lot as I'm handling many files and this shortcut allows me to rename a file on saving (= Save as). Frankly, it's a damned nuisance, and I'd like to disable that action as I have no plans on using the HDMI port, and am very unlikely to have a 2nd monitor this side of 5 years, at least. I'd appreciate any useful advice. Thanks in advance, Paul.
Windows Automatic Repair won't repair
I upgraded my Windows 10 to Windows 11 some time late last year. Recently there was some sort of an update which I had it install before I shut down. When I booted up my computer and it directed me to Automatic Repair. I tried scanning for corrupted files but nothing seems to work. I can't start in safe mode either. I tried several times to continue onto Windows but kept bringing me back to the Automatic Repair. I finally noticed that for the option to continue to Windows, it says "Continue to Windows 10" when the OS now is Windows 11. I'm wondering if somehow it's trying to boot up Windows 10 when it's no longer available hence it's in this Automatic Repair to repair an OS that's no longer available? Has anyone ever ran into this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?Map Network Drive : Issue(s)
We have 2 small PC based Windows 11 servers used for Business Files, Music, Photos etc. Running Win 11 25H2 managed via a Workgroup with shared folders - ( c drive) We have 2 Lenovo Thinkpad T490s machines running Windows 11 25H2 with successfully Mapped Network drives on the 2 PC/Servers, again in the same Workgroup and using the User Name & Password credentials of the individual PC/servers. These were Windows 10 builds upgraded to Win 11. The mapped drives would have been activated under Win 10. We have recently purchased 2 new Lenovo Thinkpad laptops also both running Windows 11 25H2 and these also have been added to the same Workgroup. These use MS Workgroup accounts with Pin login. We have attempted to Map Network drives from the new Laptops using the login credentials of the 2 PC/servers ( User Name & Password) and receive the following error: "The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error occurred: We can't sign you in with this credential because your domain isn't available. Make sure your device is connected to your organization's network and try again" Any thoughts on how to resolve. This is becoming a real frustration. MurraySwapping disk drives
Hey all- I have two identical Dell 7310 laptops. Both have M2 SSDs. One developed a memory error and the RAM is not replaceable, it is soldered onto the motherboard. And of course it is the laptop with critical work being done. So question...can I simply take the drive from the bad one and swap it with the other laptop? Not sure what or if these drives/OS installs get married to the individual hardware or not. Anybody able to shed light on this? It is Windows 11 Pro. I'm just fearing a TPM issue, etc. GeorgeCDoes anyone know what extension is this?
I just moved to new PC and I forgot to make a list of extensions when making backup. Now I can't find this particular extension which allows you to have dock items on top bar (it can show pinned items as well but I had it disabled) It's GNOME 49 / Fedora 43 so the extension is very likely still being maintained. The extension also has Windows 11 like click/minimize animations.
