Windows 11 not refreshing
Recently I installed Windows 11 and hence then my windows doesn't refresh automatically. Every time I have to refresh manually to see any chances both in desktop and in folders. Tried everything found in the net. Nothing working. I run windows update, does some tweaks in the registry, run certain commands in the command prompt... nothing working. Please help.PatteronFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor24KViews1like16CommentsDesktop folder shows on desktop and exactly the same in file explorer.
I have two instances of the same desktop folder. One is on the Desktop with the name desktop and the other in File explorer with the same name, desktop. Both are identical. see attached pdf. if I erase the one on the desktop, the one in file explorer is being erased as well. If I "save as" to desktop the items ave to both folders but they don't show on the desktop proper. I can drug and drop any item from both folders to the desktop proper without a problem. Any suggestion? Thank youQuinnQuinnFeb 13, 2025Iron Contributor13Views0likes1CommentWindows 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.KirstenGillibrandFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor16Views0likes1CommentWhat is coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2025?

Hi, Yesterday, My pc has not started to the windows. When I tried repeatedly, the Pc booted and automatic repairs screen was shown. Diagnosing Your Pc.. Attempting repairs and all of a sudden, I got the alert, that Startup repair cannot repair your pc message and asked me to try troubleshoot. I just selected ,continue and the PC booted to windows. I want to know, what went wrong and so, I tried to look at the log. I came across the tutorial that dealt with the matter in this forum. I Just selected the command prompt in the troubleshoot and then type notepad to execute notepad.exe. at x: drive. I went to the System assigned drive E: for my pc and browsed to the logfiles folder and selected the srt trail text log file. The log has words to the effect of root cause found and the cause turns out to be that my system OS booted successfully. I am clueless about what went wrong then. If the system has booted successfully, then why it prompted diagnosing the pc,., attempting repairs have been shown and then list the root cause as OS boot successfully is not known. If the issue is the OS booted successfully, It should have the startup repair done successfully, I could not find any other logs elsewhere. Of course, I ran sfc /scannow and dsm command to find issues if any. My dsism command loops at 62.3 % and then I again ran the sfc /scan command and it found some files corrupt and repaired them and then the dissm command completed successfully,HolawayFeb 13, 2025Steel Contributor14Views0likes1CommentTaskbar keeps underlining app icons after they're closed.
I am writing to report a bug I am experiencing with the taskbar in Windows 24H2 (26100.863 and 26100.994). The issue is that the taskbar continues to underline app icons even after the applications have been closed. This is happening consistently and across different applications. I have attached a screenshot that demonstrates the issue. Steps to reproduce: Open any application. Close the application. Observe that the taskbar continues to underline the closed application's icon. (Not in every attempts.) Additional information: Windows version: 24H2 (26100.863 and 26100.994) Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.MitchMcConnellFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor18Views1like2Comments- ColoradoRiverFeb 13, 2025Iron Contributor19Views0likes1Comment
