How to delete contacts on iPhone in bulk?
I am trying to find a way to delete multiple contacts at once on my iPhone because manually removing each contact one by one is very time-consuming and inconvenient. I want to know if there are any built-in features, settings, or reliable third-party apps that can help me quickly select and delete several contacts simultaneously without the hassle of deleting them individually. Additionally, I am looking for a straightforward, safe, and efficient method to perform bulk deletion so that I can manage my contacts more easily and keep my contact list organized without spending too much time on the process.How to send photos from iPhone to computer directly with USB or WiFi?

Windows freezes when I first open or click on anything after startup
I have a laptop with Windows 11 on it. Haven't had any issues for a while, but in the last couple of months it will freeze sometimes. I boot up the laptop and log in to Windows. When I go to open an app or click anything really, the screen will sometimes freeze or go black. I have the spinning circle cursor sometimes but I am unable to do anything. I let it sit for a while and nothing changed. I reboot and sometimes have to go through a few reboots before it no longer freezes. I double-checked and Windows is up to date. I didn't install anything new shortly before the issue started happening. I tried doing a repair and got a message that it ran into a problem and couldn't be repaired. Anyone else have this issue and/or suggestions on what I should check?CONNEXION BUG

Best regards, Sylvain RENARDMy C drive is running out of space, so I want to upgrade to Windows 11 26H1 to clean up junk files.
My C drive is almost full, mainly because the WinSxS and AppData folders are taking up space and are difficult to delete. I’m thinking of upgrading to 26H1 to free up some space. Will CS:GO run without errors on 26H1? If it works fine, I plan to test it in a virtual machine first before installing it on my actual computer.Occasional frame drops when minimizing windows in Windows 11

After reinstalling Windows 11, the system frequently restarts while gaming
After reinstalling Windows 11, my computer frequently restarts on its own when I play games, but everything works fine during light use, such as watching videos or doing everyday office work. I’d like to know the possible causes, as well as how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Right-clicking on taskbar shortcuts, Wi-Fi, or the clock area in Windows 11 also does not work
After the Windows 11 automatic update, I can left-click on taskbar shortcuts but cannot right-click them; when I click on the Wi-Fi, volume, or clock icons, I see a loading animation but they won’t open at all. The problem persists after restarting. Please help.
The Start menu and the Win key in Windows 11 sometimes fail to open
While using Windows 11, the Start menu and the Windows logo key on the keyboard suddenly stop working completely; neither clicking nor pressing them produces any response. I have tried the following steps, but none of them worked: Pressing Fn + Win to confirm that the Win key lock is not enabled Restarting the Explorer process Running the system file check with `sfc /scannow` Currently, only restarting the computer temporarily restores normal functionality, but the issue reoccurs after the system has been running for a while. Please advise on possible causes and solutions.How to free up space on iphone quickly when phone storage is full?

I'm hoping someone can walk me through this. My iPhone screen is totally frozen—can't swipe, can't tap, and the phone doesn't react to anything. I can't turn off, too. The screen is just stuck on one app. What are the actual button sequences to force a restart on a modern iPhone? I've heard something about pressing volume up, volume down, then holding the side button, but I want to confirm before I try it. Also, if that doesn't work, is there anything else I can do to unfreeze an unresponsive iPhone as the screen frozen? Thanks for any help you can offer.Need help for Windows 11 Pro ISO 64 bit download
I went to the Windows 11 ISO download page but there is no option for downloading Windows 11 Pro. In fact, I want to use BitLocker drive encryption on my PC. I understand that BitLocker is only available on the Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 11, not on Home. Where is the best place for Windows 11 Pro download 64 bit? I want to make sure I'm getting it from Microsoft's official source, not some sketchy third-party site. I've seen the Microsoft software download page, but I want to confirm the correct steps. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I want to get this right before I start downloading and reinstalling.How can I display or view Android screen on PC via wifi or usb?
Hi everyone, I want to display and view my Android phone screen directly on my PC (Windows 11), but I'm not sure what the best method is. I’d like to see my phone screen on my computer monitor, ideally with low latency and decent quality. Here’s what I’m looking for: USB or wireless? Open to both, but reliability is more important than convenience. Purpose: Mostly for app demos, some light gaming, and occasionally watching media from my phone. Controls: I don't necessarily need to control my phone from the PC. Just viewing the screen is fine, though mouse/keyboard support would be a bonus. Phone: Google Pixel 9A with Android OS 16 Does anyone have recommendations viewing Android phone screen on PC? Also, any tips on reducing lag or improving quality would be great.Windows 11でiPhoneの画面をPCにミラーリングする方法を教えてください

Bonjour à tous, Je prévois de vendre mon ordinateur sous Windows 11/10, mais je veux m'assurer que toutes mes données personnelles sont totalement supprimées. J’ai entendu dire que simplement supprimer les fichiers ou formater le disque ne suffit pas, car certaines données peuvent être récupérées. Du coup, je cherche une méthode fiable pour Comment effacer un disque dur de façon définitive. Est-ce que quelqu’un pourrait m’expliquer les étapes à suivre ou recommander un outil sécurisé pour Comment effacer un disque dur avant la vente ? Idéalement, je préfère une solution simple car je ne suis pas très à l’aise avec les manipulations techniques. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide 🙏
Local account and MS account
I just did a windows 11 Home clean install and used my MS account for the installation. (Ready for the planned deactivation of local accounts.) Now I have two home directories and Windows is using the new MS account directory structure, but all my active files are in the local account directory structure. These questions will sound stupid, and they are, so we got that covered. Please reference howto documents. If I should read/study a book, please point me to the best Windows 11 Home admin book. How do I tell which UID I'm using? How to find the correct profile I'm using. Can I delete the local user account without deleting the active files? How to merge the two account files to the true active MS UID? Thank you, Ed T.Windows Defender Notifications Not Working — Even After Clean Installs, BIOS Reset & Full Repairs
Hi everyone, I’m facing a strange and persistent issue with Windows Defender notifications, and I’m hoping someone here may have encountered something similar. During routine system maintenance, I noticed that Windows Defender has completely stopped showing notifications — no scan completion alerts, no threat‑found pop‑ups, nothing at all. Troubleshooting I’ve Already Done To rule out corruption, configuration issues, or hardware‑related causes, I’ve carried out extensive testing across multiple clean installations: Reinstalled Windows using the Media Creation Tool → still no Defender notifications Reinstalled Windows again using Rufus → same result Reset BIOS / cleared CMOS Installed an older Windows 11 build (offline, before updates) → still no notifications Deleted all partitions on every reinstall (full clean install) Verified all Windows Defender notification settings, including Enhanced Notifications Checked Windows notification settings to ensure Windows Security is allowed Ran SFC Performed DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Confirmed no registry or Group Policy entries suppressing notifications Reinstalled Windows Defender components Scanned with third‑party tools and Microsoft MRT — no issues found Ensured Windows Push Notification System Service is running Despite all of this, Defender notifications never appear on any fresh installation. Microsoft Support I opened a support ticket with Microsoft. One engineer performed an in‑place repair install Another advised me to post the issue here for deeper investigation Ticket reference: 710148747 Additional Technical Findings 1. Notifications are not being suppressed No GPOs applied No Intune configuration profiles No registry entries modifying notification behaviour Local notification settings fully enabled Defender notifications fully enabled It’s not a profile corruption It’s not a user hive issue It’s not a local DB issue It’s OS‑level 2. Windows Notification Platform (WNP) appears to be the root cause Across multiple clean installs: ShellExperienceHost exists on disk. Focus Assist toggle produces no toast (not sure it does) other apps like mail, Logitech, steam can toast notification, i don't see defender toasting any scan notification. WNP is partially working Defender is partially registering The scan‑completion channel is failing specifically This behaviour is consistent and reproducible. 3. Defender functionality validated using EICAR I manually created the EICAR test file and ran a scan: Defender detects and removes the file correctly Detection appears in Protection History A threat notification appears Scan completion notifications do NOT appear This confirms: Defender itself is functioning The notification delivery layer (WNP) is not working question at MS QA- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5864084/windows-defender-notifications-not-working-even-af
