Cannot update windows 11
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 youNo 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.Checking 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.

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.How can I force delete a partition in Windows 11 or Windows 10?
I can't delete a partition on my Windows 11 and Windows 10 PC as they are using the same hard drive. It is a SanDisk SATA 512GB SSD. Currently, there are four partitions on the hard drive. I want to merge the E and F partitions into one but partition F can't be deleted from the built-in disk management tool. It comes with error all the ways. What is the best way to force delete a partition in Windows 11 or Windows 10? Thanks for your help!File Explorer, please help
On my new Lenovo laptop, with Windows 11, everything is, thanks to you, as I would like and as it should be. There is one little thing that really bothers me, so please help. Namely, in File Explorer, when it opens, a black border appears around Quick access, which disappears when I click somewhere, and appears again when I open FE again (this is in Croatian). I have tried everything that Google and AI advise, but it does not help. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Please help.PC sometimes freezes with a black screen ?
Sometimes, when I return to my PC and it's gone into screensaver mode, instead of a mouse click bringing the screen up, the PC is frozen with a black screen. Nothing affects it - clicking, alt-tab, ctrl-alt-delete, etc. If I come back 'in a while' - maybe a half, hour or a couple hours - it will function again. Just now, when I it happened and I came back after a while, it had the login screen wanting a password, I entered it and it had my desktop, with my notepads still open, but other programs closed. What might cause this and can it be a fixed?
