I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I recently plugged in my SanDisk 512GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive on my Windows 11 PC, and to my surprise, dozens of photos that were stored on it have suddenly gone missing. I’m not sure what happened. One day the photos were there, and the next day they were just... gone. I’ve searched the drive thoroughly and tried different computers, but no luck. It’s like the files vanished without a trace. Are there any free tools or methods that can help me recover the lost files from this USB drive? Thank you! (I had previously used this USB as a bootable drive a while ago, but later reformatted it and started using it to store personal files)SkylineShad000wJun 16, 2025Occasional Reader4Views0likes0CommentsNetwork and Internet
Cannot see my Windows 11 PC from my Windows PC and vice versa. What should i do?LiamEvansJun 16, 2025Iron Contributor21Views0likes2CommentsAutomatic Dark Mode like WinDynamicDesktop
Why there is not a scheduled theme switch? It will be amazing if you put something like dynamic themes in win dynamic desktop with settings changing on time events! For exemple.. the main theme of W11 is available in Dark and Light mode... why not a single theme who change at time x? It will be nice also to make some theme with movements. For exemple a Meteo Theme who let you see raindrop on your desktop if meteo see that it is a rainy day! And same for snow, sun and other things!CotroxJun 16, 2025Copper Contributor970Views0likes1CommentBackup On External Hard Disk Not Possible on Windows 11 BETA

Hi everyone! I really need some help here. I just got back from a trip and was organizing my photos and videos from my SanDisk SD card on my Windows 10 laptop. While sorting through the files, I accidentally deleted a whole folder directly from the SD card. I immediately checked the Recycle Bin, but the deleted files weren’t there.😭 Has anyone successfully recovered files in a situation like this? Is there any free SD card recovery software for Windows 10 that actually works? I'm open to paid options too, as long as they’re trustworthy and have a decent success rate. Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!DanielWUHereJun 16, 2025Copper Contributor98Views0likes4CommentsMy computer monitor keeps going on black screen
I have connected a laptop Asus TUF gaming, an HP G5 docking station and two LG Ultragear QHD Gaming monitors via Displayport cables. Everything is only a couple months old. It worked fine at first and now it doesn't work at all. As soon as I close the laptop, while nothing should happen when I close the lid, 1 monitor goes black. As soon as I start a game, the other monitor also goes black or the screen of my laptop goes black. When I connect my gf's laptop, all monitors work just fine, even when the laptop is closed.YusufoenJun 16, 2025Iron Contributor33Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 takes long to boot
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 16, 2025Iron Contributor55Views0likes1CommentTried to install Windows 11 but got stuck on the connect to a network screen, wonder why?
I tried to install Windows 11 from a USB drive on a Gigabyte 610I motherboard, but when it got to the 'let's connect you to a network' screen I was stuck as the Window 11 installation software wouldn't recognise the ethernet connection. I got past the screen by opening a command prompt and typing OOBE\BYPASSNRO. Windows 11 then finishing installing and the ethernet connection was recognised when the desktop opened. I was wondering why the Windows 11 installation got stuck in the first place though not recognising the ethernet connection.SyamterJun 16, 2025Iron Contributor91Views0likes1Comment
