Windows 11 robocopy message after PS command completation?
Windows 11 Hi I was using robocopy to copy the contents of a USB WD My Pasport magnetic spinning drive on to a new external Sandisk Extreme SSD. The Powershell command string that I used (Powershell was opened as administrator) was: robocopy "H:\" "G:\" /e /w:5 /r:2 /COPY:DATSOU /DCOPY:DAT /MT:12 The transfer, around 620 GB, took around 2 hours and once completed powershell gave the below message and I wonder if this is something that I should be concerned about? My aim was to simply copy the files that I had saved from one external drive to another. The WD My Pasport (USB 2) and the SanDisk Extreme (USB 3) were plugged in to the correct ports on my laptop. I am not able to work out what this message means and if the files copied across are okay as there are far too many for me to check manually? Many thanks 100% Waiting 5 seconds...

Windows security prompts me to sign in to my Microsoft account. When I try, I get an authenticator prompt that I am able to approve. After I click Next, I get the following error: Oops, something went wrong Whatever happened, it was probably our fault. Note that I do not get prompted to enter my password. I tried going through the signin helper and it recommended resetting my password, so I did that, but still got the same error. I went back to signin helper and it said it couldn't find any issues.SolvedBolinAlunsiJul 02, 2025Iron Contributor87Views0likes3CommentsBest diagnostic tools

Memory Integrity protection is off
The memory protection is off on my laptop, and I can't seem to find a way to fix this. I've updated all drivers. When I review incompatible drivers 3 are listed. usb2ser.sys MediaTek Inc usbser2ser.sys MediaTek Ink usb2ser.sys MBB Clicking on more info, for the first two it seems to a specific file. oem162.inf driver date is 1/22/2016 for both Driver version 3.0.1504.0 Though for the second one the driver date is. 1/22/2015 The Third one just says File version 3.0.1.1504 no date version Just says Product Name USB Modem/Serial Device Driver. Any thoughts.SolvedCalebStoneJun 30, 2025Silver Contributor140Views0likes2CommentsCan't Get Windows 11 Computers To Network
I have two HP Pro Tower G9 computers that are pretty much identical. They have 12th Gen Intel Core 13-12100 processors running at 3.3 GHz, both have 32 Gb memory. They are both running Windows 11 Pro OS build 26100.3476. Something else they have in common: They do not want to communicate over the network! The icons for the respective computers on on each other's displays, but when I click on the icon, I get a message that the network path was not found. I have turned off firewalls and antivirus programs on both machines, have made sure SMBv1 is enabled on both, set sharing protocols to the hard drives on both machines, but still can't get past the network path was not found issue. At this point, I really don't care if they cannot find the other computers on the network, but I would like to get these two on speaking terms with each other.SolvedElijahWoodJun 26, 2025Iron Contributor145Views1like3CommentsSetting up a laptop for a Club
Unhappily it's not mine, I bought it on behalf of a Club of which I am the Treasurer and SysAdmin and it is to run their scoring software on and it needs to be capable of being operated by anybody in the Club without undue difficulty. How do I set it up for minimum difficulty in anybody logging into it and without using my personal email account ? Obviously my primary concern is not system security as there will no personal information on this computer. Our last computer, which died two weeks ago, used a PIN to login to Win 10 and I had this, along with the answers to the three security questions, printed on the login screen. If it is possible to set it up to use a Pin that would be ideal. Our last PIN was 1,2,3,4,5 ,as I said security of access is not a priority.SolvedDavidWilsonJun 26, 2025Iron Contributor165Views1like3CommentsWindows 11 upgrade fail not finding disk
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this. I have a desktop which doesn't meet the requirements for a Windows 11 upgrade, so I found a reputable site which offers a work around install. I loaded up the files on a USB and tested on an older laptop that didn't meet requirements, and it ran just fine and is now running Windows 11 nicely. However I just tried to upgrade my PC and all went well until the final reboot which came back with a disk failure hit ctl - alt - del to reboot. I did that and get the same error. Is this some kind of BIOS issue I might be able to easily resolve?SolvedDeclanGrayJun 26, 2025Iron Contributor126Views0likes3Comments
A few concerns about installing Windows 11
I've been using Windows 10 for quite awhile and my PC works great, but my computer will not run Windows 11 so I am looking at some laptops on Newegg. One thing I'm concerned about being able to connect the laptop to the internet. I have Wi-fi in my apartment on my desk, but I have heard that sometimes Windows 11 will not show the available wireless networks when you click on the icon or whatever in the lower right part of the taskbar. The only thing I can think of to solve the issue would be to go on YouTube and start looking at videos of people talking about how to solve that problem. Any tips you can give me would be appreciated. Something else is I like to wipe the hard drive clean and start with a fresh install of the operating system. But I saw a video that looked like you can simply delete all the partitions that Windows 11 is listing in the install window. So I thought that would be a faster way to clean up the hard drive. I do have KillDisk that I could run but it would take time to zero out a 1 Terabyte hard drive. Any tips on that would be appreciated also.SolvedHarperLakeJun 25, 2025Iron Contributor133Views0likes3Comments
