Iexpress startup error
Hi Masters! I created an automated script using Powershell and I want to run it with iexpress software. Here is the startup code (AppLaunched): powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "start-process PowerShell -ArgumentList '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass','-File ikev2-ipsec-vpn-settings.ps1' -Verb RunAs" Observation: If I enter text at "Finished message", the script runs, it works correctly. BUT if I don't enter text in "Finished message" (say "No message"), the powershell window just flashes and then disappears, i.e. nothing happens. Has anyone else had this kind of error? Thank you!

Windows 10 flickers on file explorer and Excel. It happens on random and last anywhere between 10-30 seconds. I think is not limited to just these apps, but possibly any programs I opened. This is a fresh install from a bootable usb drive. Any suggestions to further troubleshoot??

Solved Can't access 127.0.0.1:8000 on my Laptop
I'm trying to fiddle with Symfony's CMS sulu. Took a few extra steps but finally got it installed. Documentation says that access to the app is `127.0.0.1:8000`. But I just can't get Chrome to take me there. Environment: Apache/2.4.62, PHP 8.4.15. Here's what I've tried so far: `etc\host` has `127.0.0.1`. There are a few other apps listed with that, but they all behave as expected. Trying `http://127.0.0.1` launches the first entry in `httpd-vhosts.conf`. With suffix `:8000`, Chrome says "127.0.0.1 refused to connect." Created firewall rules for port 8000, both TCP & UDP. No change. `netstat -ano | findstr :80` & `tasklist /fi "PID eq [PID_number]"` showed only Apache process (PID_number). Windows Build/VersionWindows 11 Pro, Version 25H2, Build 26200.7462
How to stop windows 11 from trying to install problematic update automatically.
I'm subscribed to Windows Insider Program Beta. Since Feb, I have had issues trying to install the 'ge_release_upr' updates as I get a error after going through the install process only to get error page near the end. So I gave up and just ignored the update. Up to a week ago, windows stopped giving me an option to pick which update to install and now it just downloads every update automatically. Now I am stuck with windows forcing to restart to install which ends up in error. How do I stop windows from trying to install the ge_release_upr updates? I tried installing this troubleshoot show or hide tool. But it didn't stop from downloading the update. At the moment, I have paused all updates but I still want all of the other updates.
Cannot choose unenroll this device...
I joined insider before, but got stuck when getting back to GA builds.It continuely push 25H2 to me, then failed with error 0x8007042B. I rejoined the insider, the 25H2 prompt disapperes, but when I choose unenroll this device in next version,I notice that there is a 'get started' button in insider UI after system rebooting.

I'm having trouble with the Windows 11 Start Menu layout, which has suddenly changed from a 3-column to a 2-column display, disrupting my workflow and making it difficult for me to access my frequently used apps. I've tried checking for updates and adjusting my display settings, but nothing seems to be working and I'm at a loss for how to get back to the layout I'm used to.Quel convertisseur youtube mp4 fonctionne encore correctement aujourd’hui ?
Bonjour à tous, Beaucoup d’outils que j’ai essayés récemment ne fonctionnent plus, affichent des erreurs ou redirigent vers des pages douteuses. J’aimerais donc avoir des retours récents de personnes qui utilisent encore un convertisseur youtube mp4 qui marche vraiment. Idéalement, je cherche une solution simple, gratuite, et compatible avec Windows ou macOS, sans avoir à installer des extensions risquées. Si possible, je préférerais aussi un outil qui permet de choisir la qualité vidéo (720p ou 1080p). Si vous avez des recommandations ou des alternatives fiables à un convertisseur youtube mp4, je suis preneur. Merci d’avance pour votre aide !Audio mute light has stopped working on HP Envy laptop...
This would appear to be quite common, in fact there are several YouTube videos and forum posts elsewhere dedicated to this problem. The light was working until the other day, and suddenly stopped - I'm not sure if it is a consequence of a recent Windows update or not, as I really didn't notice straight away. I had the same problem with my older laptop, an HP Pavilion, but managed to solve it, I think by resetting the BIOS defaults. However, I've been unable to get the light working again on my Envy laptop. Any suggestions? I think I've tried practically everything.External SSD not detected in Windows 11 every now and again?
I have a quite a few 2.5 inch SSD drives, when needed I connect them via a usb-sata cable. Every now and again Windows 11 does not recognise the drives. It shows up in "This Pc" but no drive letter, it also shows in device manager. When I click on it nothing happens. If I connect it to a VM with Ubuntu, I can see all the files, so what I end up doing is copying them from there to a new drive. Then format the original and that becomes useable again, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I always make sure that the device is not being written to or accessed when I disconnect it. Can anyone please let me know what the root cause might be? I would also appreciate if anyone has an easier fix? rather than loading it into Linux every time?
