Text files are opening in garbled format
I recently reinstalled Windows a week ago, and since then, I've been experiencing an issue where every .txt file I try to open in Notepad or Wordpad appears garbled. Is there a solution to this problem?Timothy310Jan 17, 2026Bronze Contributor185Views0likes1CommentDynamic lock is no longer functioning

I recently noticed lagging in my laptop and when I checked Task Manager the CPU was 100% and it was (windows modules installer worker) taking the highest percentage, and the update it was downloading it was at 8% (Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.1542) (KB5041872)) I ended the task and my laptop was fine, every time I try to download the update it reaches 8% and starts lagging and using very high CPU I contacted the tech team and they checked everything in my laptop and it was healthy and then he told me that the problem is with the update most likely since it is an insider program I stopped updates for my own sake. I hope you fix this issue as soon as possible. thank youMiriamA2Jan 17, 2026Copper Contributor292Views0likes1CommentBlack Screen with Cursor
I recently acquired a Dell Vostro running Windows 11, version 22H2. Unfortunately, upon attempting to power up my computer and access the Windows log-in screen, I encountered a persistent problem where only a black screen with a cursor was displayed. This issue has recurred every two to three months. I am seeking advice on how to resolve this recurring problem.ChristopheoJan 17, 2026Iron Contributor233Views5likes1CommentTaskbar redesign wanted

I am a photography hobbyist and shoot my photos in RAW (file attribute is .rw2.) I have installed MS's RAW "Image Extension into Windows 10" (from MS store) which allows File Explorer to show RAW files as photo images. Although my RAW files do show up as photo image thumbnails in File Explorer, they only occasionally show up as imaged thumbnails in the recycle bin; otherwise, 90+% of the discarded RAWs show up as simple icons in the RB. The only way that I can presently see the thumbnail representative RAW images in the recycle bin is to either drag them into the RB's preview pane, or place the cursor on them and press the space bar (installed Outlook 3.7.3 to do this.) The only thing I can think of as a possible reason why this is happening is that the Image Extension was installed back in 2021 and maybe the newer windows updates need the Image Extension to be updated?? However, I'm fearful of trying that as I'm not sure how to do it and don't want to take the chance of screwing up things. Thanks.AmeliaWilsonJan 17, 2026Copper Contributor141Views0likes1Comment"Missing New Settings Homepage"
Greetings! I recently upgraded my Windows 11 Enterprise to version 22631.2715 using KB5032190. Although I now have access to all the new features, the new settings homepage within the options app is still absent. This was also the case in the previous version, 22631.2506. Despite trying the command 'vivetool /enable /id:42058345,42058313', the issue remains unresolved. Could this problem be linked to my enterprise license, my local account (as I do not log in using my Microsoft account), or something else? Thank you for your assistance.EllaHarrisJan 17, 2026Copper Contributor160Views0likes1CommentHow to Utilize DISM or SFC in Windows 11 S Mode
