Anyone noticed Windows 11 takes longer to boot compared to Windows 10?
Once I reach the part where it shows my username logging in, it takes way longer for it to show the desktop. Even on a fresh clean install. Has anyone else noticed this? It's almost instant with Windows 10GarciabFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor9Views0likes1CommentBSOD code 1a. Anyone know how to fix this?

Sound dropping out on YouTube
Starting 5 days or so ago, on my desktop sound started dropping out on YouTube after a few seconds. I could mute it and then unmute it and it would play for a few more seconds but then drop out again. At first this was happening in Firefox and Chrome, but not in Edge. As of today, Edge has the problem too. My laptop does not have the problem. All other sound seems to be OK. I'm running a USB cable to an external DAC, which feeds into a small amp with speakers. I tried a second DAC, same problem. I searched and found that people were having this problem about 4 years ago. I have W11 24H2 with all updates. How can I fix it?NskdoFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor18Views0likes2CommentsIs there any way to recover deleted files from SSD?
Please help! 😭 Some important files in my SSD were deleted by mistake, and now I can't find them at all, even the Recycle Bin is empty... Is there any way to recover deleted files from SSD? Here's what happened: A few days ago, I cleaned up the disk, thinking of freeing up some space for the C drive, but I was too quick to do it and Shift + Deleted a working folder directly... I didn't realize it at the time, and later when I needed to use it, I found that it was all gone! I thought I could still find it in the Recycle Bin, but the SSD directly skipped the Recycle Bin and deleted it. I was really desperate! I tried several methods mentioned on the Internet, such as the Windows File Recovery Tool (the winfr command line one), but the scanned results were a mess, and I couldn't find the files I wanted at all. Some friends also recommended some data recovery software, but many of them require payment, and I'm not sure which one is reliable. Can the deleted files on the SSD be recovered? Is there any free or high-success method? If it doesn't work, reliable paid software is also OK, the most important thing is to be able to recover the files! Please help! 🙏 Is there really any hope to recover deleted files from SSD?UtahMountainFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor47Views0likes7CommentsExplorer showing duplicate files/folders on a network drive
On my Fritzbox 7490 router, it has a feature where you can plug in a USB drive and it will be available to all users of the network in a NAS-like way. For the last couple of months (but never before that) I'm seeing duplicate files and folders, Sometimes two instances of each folder or file, and sometimes three instances. I permanently have an explorer instance open to that drive because I use it so often. Ignore the fact that other machines have potential access to it, because my laptop is the only one that does ever use it (and is 99.9% of the time the only computer switched on). I've made a screenshot below of what it looks like. It is of course impossible to have multiple files or folders of the same name, but Explorer is happy to present the folder hierarchy as if that is what's happening. You'd think it would catch itself and realize that can't be right, but it doesn't. If I hit F5 to refresh, they'll usually go away and I'll see single entries as normal, but quite often they don't. One important and perhaps relevant thing to note is that I have a batch file that is constantly running/re-running and when it detects files of a certain type, it will copy them from my local drives to that network drive. So my machine will have two parallel (and different) connections to the drive. But .... and it's a big but (I cannot lie) I've been using this machine and that batch file since I bought the laptop 3 years ago without this duplicate entries ever happening. I suspect a windows update change to Explorer (or some service) that happened in the last 6 months. Is it just me?QandonFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor13Views0likes2CommentsSo when is a Windows 11 PC not a Windows 11 PC?
Just askin', in view of the horrendous time I'm having trying to change some settings on my recently arrived Dell Inspiron. I've now had two massively time-consuming attempts at trying to achieve auto log-in, based on advice appearing on the 'Net as to how to manage this on a Windows 11 machinebut without any success: the Inspiron appears to accept the changes but then carries on regardless afterwards. Anyway: enough of the background. As the first screenshot shows, this PC is running Windows 11 (version 21H2, OS Build 22000.556.) That marches up with what Dell told me when I ordered this Inspiron from it at the beginning of this month. 'The model comes with Windows 11 installed'. Fair enough. However, I have no idea what purpose is being served by what seem to be vestigial fragments of some partly erased text appearing on the Version information: what on earth is the mysterious 'org name' doing beneath the identity of the licensed user? Presumably the phrase started out as 'Organization name'. . . but if so, why its only partial removal removal from display? Comparing the screenshot of that Windows version information with the next screenshot of Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version (from which I have edited out the 20-character alphanumeric ProductID in the interests of my own security) the following may be noted: ProductName Windows 10 Home ReleaseID 2009 So. This computer says it's a Windows 11 and a Windows 10 device. Shomething wrong shomewhere???FrederickkFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor21Views1like0CommentsNo password on log in
I have Win11 Home edition that was just changed from Win11 S mode. I have this issue I can't change to not wanting a password / Pin when I log in. The NETPLWIZ command shows user under administrator but when I click on user it does not take me to screen to uncheck password. I tried going to computer management the user folder is not there. Currently I am asked to enter a pin better than a password but not entering anything would be better, what can I try now?SolvedMathewFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor13Views0likes1CommentBitlocker
Hello, When I start my PC I am asked for my recovery key. I can't find it. However, I have the recovery ID to identify my key. It is made up of 32 characters. But I don't know how to use it to recover my recovery key. Thank you for your help.WyomingCowboyFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor5Views0likes0Comments
