Cant update to latest windows 11 due to cFosSpeedDriver
Wont let me update windows trys and then says "Your PC has a service that isnt ready for this version of windows. A new verison is available" cant find a new driver for CFOSS I upgrade my PC last year and installed MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WIFI and Intel Core i9-12900KF 3.20GHz I dont have dragon centre installed Still learning all things PC So wondered if anyone had any advise on how to fix thisWindows 10 - Can you choose folder columns specific to folders?
This is one that's been eluding me, or maybe it's not possible. There should definitely be an ability to have the column headers (and therefore the columns) shown specific to either the folder or the folder type. There are generally, in my experience, literally scores of available columns that can be displayed and you can rearrange them, i.e. the order shown left to right. However, usually all you see are Name, Date Modified, Type, Size. Some folders contain files that beg for a much more varied and interesting set of columns. For instance, music files I want to see length. Length has no meaning for most files. I keep encountering this. To find Length in the list of available columns when there are like 100 available is a hassle and I don't want to keep having to add it. Plus there are a ton of other attributes I might want shown. What am I missing?Ummm why is Windows defragmenting my SSD
Setting up a new PC, clean W11 install, I was trying to perform the maintenance and cleanup stuff. From "Security and Maintenance" applet in Control Panel, I manually invoked/started "Maintenance" that is normally a scheduled background task, and walked away for at least 10 minutes. Came back and it was still running. I have noticed it before where invoking this manually takes a long time compared to when it runs as scheduled task, but never really looked into it. I happened to be checking my "drives" status and was going to run optimize or TRIM. I have no spinners in this PC. I open the 'Optimize' window and see it is already doing something. I now know what was taking so long, Windows was DEFRAGMENTING my SSD. I sat and watched it go up to PASS #5, first defragmenting then consolidating, until I force stopped it. WTF?Unable to reset my PC
Hi Insider Community, Hope you are doing great! So I tried to reset my PC from the recovery options menu and selected reset my PC. It opens a permission window then asks for keep my files or delete my files options where I selected keep my files. This shows an error saying you files could be modified by some else which seems strange and I couldn't reset my PC. Please find the attached screenshot for the issue. Best Regards, Siddhartha Sharma
Stop preview builds
Hi, I wanted to exit the insider program but am not able to leave the program from the link. I have not installed any insider updates yet (they have automatically downloaded not installed),and have kept my insider settings to 'release preview'. How to go back to the normal windows update settings?Unable to reset my PC
Hi Insider Community, Hope y'all doing great! I am currently facing an issue while trying to reset my PC. After clicking on the reset my PC button from the recovery menu, I am redirected to the system permission dialogue box. After clicking yes on it, I choose the keep my files option but it shows an error right after that saying someone could be controlling/modifying my files. It seems really odd to me after seeing this error here so I am reaching out for a solution now. Thanks & Regards Siddhartha Sharma
Using Gadget Pack on Windows computer
Hello to all. I have used "Gadget Pack" since back in the days of Windows 7. I had it installed on Windows 10 successfully and when I updated to Windows 11 I was able to reinstall it, no problems whatsoever. About two weeks ago I noticed that the gadgets stopped automatically starting with Windows. To get the gadgets to work I would have to right click on the desktop, click "gadgets" and they gadgets (and the gadget pick window) would start. I wondered if it was a Windows update which removed the autostart so I did a system restore to the a time when I knew the gadgets did start automatically. Not much difference so I uninstalled the pack (using the official uninstaller) and reinstalled it. Same problem. It's frustrating the heck out of me! I have tried contacting the developer and I cannot find a forum dedicated to the GadgetPack program (previously called "8GadgetPack."). Do any of you wizards know a way of fixing this? I have tried putting the "sidebar.exe" into the startup folder...nope, no luck. I have enabled autostart in Task Manager...no luck. Any ideas?VIDEO DXGKRNL FATAL ERROR After a Recent Feature Update
Hello, I have been getting the VIDEO DXGKRNL FATAL ERROR after the feature update Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26220.5770 (ge_release_upr). I noticed that this error is only happening when my laptop is connected to an external monitor and is not outputting any audio. For now, using an external monitor requires me to disconnect my laptop from the monitor first and keep it playing music before I reconnect it. I tried upgrading and reinstalling the graphics driver and installing a driver for my monitor; none of them solved this issue. My graphics card is NVIDIA Quadro P10000, and the driver version is 32.0.15.8115. Glad to provide more info if anyone has a clue about this issue. Thanks!
