Windows location service persistently reports weird incorrect location
Since approximately March-April 2026 My Windows 11 Pro x64 started reporting strange and incorrect location information to applications that request it, primarily web browsers. I'm located in San Francisco Bay Area, California, but every web site that relies on location information (Google Maps, Bing Maps, Starbucks etc.) stubbornly places me at location 44.97320223006452, -93.35278344048427 in Minneapolis (Golden Valley, MN to be precise) What is that location? And why has this started happening? My default location in Windows 11 settings is also specified correctly, i.e. it contains my correct address in California. However, this has no effect on the above strange behavior. The computer in question is a desktop with no WiFi capabilities, just an Ethernet connection. Another Windows 10 Pro x64 desktop computer on the same LAN (also Ethernet connection) has no such problems. Windows 10 on that machine is locating itself properly. Various "where am I" web sites that determine my location by my external IP address also work correctly even on the problematic Windows 11 computer, i.e. they correctly place me in California. However, everything that works through Windows Location on that machine places me in Minneapolis. What gives?
Official Complaint: Broken Mandatory Update & Incompetent Tech Support
Hello Microsoft Community, I am writing to express my deep frustration with the latest mandatory Windows updates and the shocking incompetence of the tech support agent who handled my case. The update broke my system entirely—breaking the Start Menu, Settings, and messing up my screen reader (NVDA). When I reached out to tech support, the experience was a disaster: 1. The agent suggested creating a "Restore Point" while the system GUI was already completely corrupted and broken! 2. Worse, the agent didn't even know how to type a basic command in CMD, typing "Onlime" with an "M" instead of "Online" with an "N"! As a software developer, I had to fix Microsoft's mess myself using the "sfc /scannow" command, which successfully repaired the corrupt files after your support staff failed. Where are Satya Nadella's promises about accessibility when mandatory updates break our systems and support agents can't even spell basic CLI commands? Microsoft needs to respect its users and properly train its technical support staff. I have attached the screenshot as clear evidence of this incompetence.BiDi broke in Windows 11
After years of no-problem Arabic in both Windows 10 and 11, Arabic text is now being displayed left-to-right in command prompt, Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7.6.2 (I've removed Windows Terminal to simplify things). In PowerShell ISE, in Konsole (windows .exe build) and all apps (Notepad, Office, Notepad ++, etc.) Arabic is displayed correctly right-to-left. In the Windows shells the letters are shaped and joined correctly but display left to right. . If I copy Arabic text from one of the misbehaving shells and paste it into a browser, Notepad, Konsole, etc. it displays correctly. I've tried changing fonts, changing code pages, checking registry entries and even an in-place reinstall of Windows, all to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?From Windows 11 to Linux, need help!
Recently, I built a new computer with two hard drives: one for the Windows system (which stores approximately 3 games from the Steam library, as these games do not support Linux), and the other for my Linux gaming system. Previously, I used Bazzite to play indie games on my old computer, and my partner and I could collaborate. But recently, when running Garuda, after moving from a small SATA SSD to the new NVMe solid-state drive, I encountered problems. So I switched to CachyOS Plasma. Need help! Thanks.
It's time to get a new PC and install Windows 11.
I'm considering upgrading to a new PC and planning to install Windows 11, but I want to make sure it's the right move for my needs. I'm looking for advice on whether Windows 11 will run smoothly on a new machine, what to expect in terms of performance and compatibility, and if there are any common issues I should be aware of before making the switch.My Windows 11 Cannot connect to the internet
My computer suddenly cannot connect to the internet, even though other devices on the same network are working fine. I have already tried restarting my PC and router, but the issue persists, and I keep getting a "No Internet Access" or "Connected, No Internet" message in the taskbar.
PC requires deep power cycling to turn on after being turned off for a few hpurs
Hello I would like to ask what could be possible suspects (faulty cmos/or psu, or my Bios needs some fixing) regarding the issues with my PC.... Everytime its turned off for a few hours, I have to press the power button for a couple of seconds (deep power cycling) in order to turn it on again. Initially my GPU gave out and I did some **bleep** to the Bios and tried to remove old GPU's drivers using the DDU... and after that Ive had problems with this like ghost boots and boot loops. We did some fixing like trying to reset the Bios to its default state and removing all of the installed games and anti cheat, but this new problem seems to keep happening.
Why CPU clock speed weirdness on Windows PC
I am experiencing strange behavior with my CPU clock speed on my Windows PC, where it fluctuates unexpectedly or appears to be stuck at very high or very low speeds without any apparent reason. This inconsistent clock speed is causing performance issues and making it difficult to determine whether my system is running optimally, and I am unsure what is causing this weirdness or how to fix it.
I CANNOT get windows installed. Why?
I feel like I've tried every possible solution. I've been struggling for a full 12 hours, formatting the USB drive, re-downloading the Windows system about 8 to 10 times. I used Rufus, tried Windows 10, and even paid for a stupid third-party service to convert my MDR to something like GPT. I'm really very frustrated and don't know what to do. I can start it, but every time I encounter this error! (The installation program does not support configuring USB or IEEE 1394 ports) Please help me, I'm at my wit's end now.Windows 11 25h2 ISO download for making an offline installer
Need to repair a Windows 11 PC and want to create an offline installer for Windows 11 25H2 and the official ISO would be the way to go. The goal is to have a clean, legitimate copy that can be used to make a bootable USB drive or DVD for fresh installs on machines without a reliable internet connection. Microsoft's official download page is the obvious first stop, but it's not always clear whether 25H2 is available there yet or whether the Media Creation Tool is the better route. Would love to know the safest and most straightforward way to download the official Windows 11 25h2 ISO offline installer? Thanks in advance!Best AI Object Remover for Windows 11: Automatically Remove Unwanted Objects from Photos

Recently, photo cleanup has become a regular need asked by my parents for old photos, and a reliable AI-powered tool that can automatically remove unwanted objects would make a huge difference. The ideal solution would handle things like removing people, signs, or background clutter with minimal manual effort — ideally with results that look natural rather than patchy. A Windows 11 desktop app would be preferred if it was good to remove object from photo automatically, though a solid browser-based tool works too. Free or affordable options are great, but paid is on the table if the quality justifies it. Bing suggests a few free ai tools, but it's hard to judge quality without real-world experience. Would love to hear from anyone who uses these regularly — what actually produces clean, convincing results and what falls short?What is the best version for Windows 10 ?
