Recall fails to start and always asks me to log in using Windows Hello
"My Windows version is 26120.3073. Recall had always worked properly on my computer, but today after restarting my computer, it no longer works and remains in a paused state, prompting me to log in using Windows Hello to resume. I logged in using Windows Hello, but Recall did not resume and still prompts me to log in using Windows Hello to resume. I have tried various methods, including opening Recall, re-logging into Windows, putting the computer to sleep and waking it up, restarting the computer, disabling and enabling the Recall function, but none of these methods solved the issue. It consistently prompts me to log in using Windows Hello to resume. I also checked TPM and Windows Hello, and both are working properly.lornshrimpJun 24, 2025Copper Contributor303Views7likes7CommentsWhy remote Desktop Connection not pulling in audio from local machine
The microphone is an integrated mic in my laptop. Remote Desktop connection settings: Play on this computer, record from this computer are both checked. On the remote desktop, in Windows 10 settings, I see the remote audio is selected as output, but it has no input devices found. With the same laptop and same settings as above I can remote into a VM (Win 10 1909) and I see remote audio is selected as output and remote audio is selected as input. The local (laptop) speakers and mic work fine on the remote machine as desired.BBrookerJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor201Views0likes3CommentsWhat is the best PNG file converter for Windows 11/10
I'm seeking advice on the most effective PNG file converter compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10 that can easily convert PNG images into various other formats such as JPEG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF while maintaining high image quality. I want a solution that is fast, stable, and produces high-quality results, especially since I often work with large collections of images and need a PNG file converter that can streamline my workflow. It's important that the converter supports drag-and-drop functionality or simple interface navigation so I can operate it with minimal effort, and I would prefer a program that offers free or trial versions so I can test its capabilities before making a purchase.CalahanReedJun 24, 2025Iron Contributor99Views1like6CommentsI am having problems updating my Windows 11 (Insider Preview)

Hi everyone, thank you in advance for your support. I am trying to update windows 11 but at 10 % I get this error. Windows 11, version 24H2 Download error - 0x80248014 AND Intel Corporation - Extension - 32.0.101.6651 Download error - 0x80248014 Before that, I got another error code telling me about partitions. What i did was troubleshoot system update but this time i got the error mentioned above. I have read it has something to do with efi not having enough space to install the update. Please let me know what information you need me to send you as this is the first time i post something related to updates. Thank youEmmettBrooksJun 23, 2025Iron Contributor33Views1like1CommentNo widgets on the lock screen
I get a few widget choices in the Personalization settings, but none of them work. My lockscreen uses the Windows Spotlight images. I've enabled widgets in the Group Policy editor. (Although I already have widgets, in the left side of the taskbar.) I tried running Vivetool. It reported that the changes were successful, but nothing changed. Any suggestions? This is a fairly trivial matter, but I'd like to be able to fix it.CameronFordJun 23, 2025Iron Contributor27Views0likes1CommentChecking the UEFI boot sector
Is there any way to check integrity of the boot sector other than booting into recovery mode and running bootrec.exe? Can anything be done from within Windows computer? I just changed NVMe drives on a couple of PCs and ran into boot problems on both even though I had cloned the system drive including boot sector to each. Things finally got worked out when I could boot into safe mode. From there, booting normally worked. But it's still slow. While any remaining problems would likely get fixed with a repair install, I'd like to know if the boot sector really needs that before doing it.QuincosJun 23, 2025Iron Contributor20Views0likes2CommentsCan't login to windows account

My PC takes between 60-80 seconds before the Windows logo comes up. I created a Process Monitor logfile and in there were a dozen entries with Result=CANCELLED which had duration of 3 to 17 seconds. The one taking 17.8 seconds was trying to access a file, "C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-3415986207-50523673-2978598619-1001\{F0230BAE-7D60-44C0-B949-B0EF3DE3E0FF}-Image192.jpg" which does not exist. It does exist in "C:\Users\Public\Public AccountPictures\" so there is a mismatch in my system. I clean installed Windows 11 two years ago and have installed all upgrades and that's what's be done to the system. As for the other long duration entries they all exist i the C:\windows\system32\config folder. What's the problem with my system and what can I do to fix it? I searched the registry for one of the file names and found Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\S-1-5-21-3415986207-50523673-2978598619-1001 so the registry points to the wrong folder. Folder AccountPicture dos not exist in my system, it's called Public AccountPictures.TomilsonwJun 23, 2025Iron Contributor107Views0likes3Comments
