Create Hiren Boot CD Bootable USB for Windows 10 system repair?
My Windows 10 PC has crashed, and I'm trying to repair it using Hiren's Boot CD. However, I’m not sure how to create a bootable USB with Hiren's Boot CD to rescue my system. I’ve heard it's a useful tool for troubleshooting and repairing Windows, but I'm not familiar with the process. Could someone please guide me step-by-step on how to create a bootable USB from Hiren's Boot CD ISO so I can repair and rescue my Windows 10 PC. I have a blank USB drive ready, and I’ve downloaded the Hiren’s Boot CD ISO file, but I’m not sure what to do next.I want to disable the sign in screen on screen wakeup
I don't have a password set. I have set the settings sign in option to "Never" I have followed the suggestions in How to disable password after resuming from sleep on Windows 10 and various other suggestions. None of this has worked. Every time I set my screen to sleep, when I wake it there is the signin screen. Does anyone have a suggestion?My PC is unexpectedly rebooting
Last month I did a hardware upgrade to my PC. I changed from a Ryzen 5800X to an Intel i7 13700KF with a new Gigabyte board. I applied all of the Intel mitigation microcode updates, and all drivers, etc. and the system is running like a top, except for one thing. I can work on the PC all day without problems, and game too. However, if I leave the PC idle for a while, there is a good chance it will spontaneously reboot. It won't do it if I have an app open on screen, only when it is on the desktop. It does not blue screen, it just reboots. I know this has to be hardware, but I don't know where to look in any logs to find out the problem. I looked in the event viewer, but I have to admit that I don't understand a lot of it. Event Viewer has never been my strong suit, anyway. I would appreciate any tips that will help me lock down this problem if someone knows how to figure this out.
Lost Audio output after Windows update

How to transfer files from PC to PC with Windows 11/10?
Build a new Windows 11 PC and need some help figuring out how to transfer files from one PC to another. I have important documents, photos, and other files that I'd like to move to my new computer, but I'm not sure what the easiest and safest methods are. Could someone please explain simple method on how to transfer files from pc to pc? I'd prefer methods that don’t require advanced technical knowledge or expensive software. If there are step-by-step instructions or tools that Microsoft recommends, that would be great!How to Change the default admin profile
I had a clean install of Windows 11, this is the first time I have had a machine with Win11 on it. The machine set up with an Admin account on it. Later, I transferred all my files and documents to the machine successfully under my username 'Dad', but now of course if I click 'Documents' in File Manager, it takes me to the Admin account where there are no documents. Ideally, I would prefer that the 'Dad' account was the default admin profile, and that all the defaults pointed to that instead of the already-existing 'Admin' account. How would I go about this, please?
Can't Leave Windows Insider
I somehow got into Windows Insider, and I want out. I have tried every email I know to exit the program. For 3 of the 4 emails on my Microsoft account - it says "This email address is not registered as a Windows Insider." The fourth email it says it is not a Microsoft account ( I think it is a recovery email). The Reason I want out: When Office apps stopped working, they kept blaming Windows insider. After 4-1/2 hours they managed to fix the problem. But, they told me unless I can figure out what email is associated with Windows Insider, my only option to exit it is to rebuild my computer!!!! Also, I would need to find my windows key from years ago & move all my 2.7 TB of data and reinstall all my programs & apps. Are they INSANE?????? So now i really want out. PLEASE help!
