Cloning HDD to SDD
Hi! I used Macrium Reflect to clone two volumes (EFI system partition used for Windows Boot Manager and GRUB, and primary NTFS containing operating system with files) from HDD to SDD. After I tried to boot, the cloned GRUB gave errors. Then I deleted the cloned GRUB from the EFi volume from SDD. Now I see black screen for some minutes and laptop shuts down. I am suspecting that the EFI volume on SDD includes reference to the old drive letter(s). How to fix that issue? With diskpart on Windows on HDD? HDD contains Windows 11 and latest Ubuntu with FAT32 partition. During cloning, I only selected FAT32 and Windows 11 partition. Ext on Hitachi is for Ubuntu. During cloning, I also extended the original size of Windows volume to the maximum that was free on SDD. Firstly the GRUB did not detect Windows on SDD. I then refreshed the GRUB on Ubuntu and now I have two Windows entries on GRUB. 1 on HDD is working but second on SDD is not booting (black screen for 2 minutes and then laptop shuts off).windwosBright Mode Software Properties Interface Font is Completely White
After enabling the light mode on the system, all fonts in the property dialog boxes/settings interfaces of all software are displayed in white (the light background makes it difficult to read the text), which severely affects normal use. I need a fix or a temporary workaround. Thank you for your response.How to fix blue screen of death on windows 11?
My Windows 11 PC has recently started crashing frequently, triggering a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). I haven't made any recent hardware changes, but the system has become unstable enough that I can't maintain a session for more than a few minutes. In fact, I have already tried a basic restart and checking for Windows Updates with no luck. I am looking for help analyzing my minidump files or identifying if this is likely a driver conflict or a hardware failure. Could someone walk me through the best way to fix blue screen of death on windows 11, or suggest which system logs I should provide here to help pinpoint the exact cause? I want to avoid a full OS reinstall if possible, so any targeted troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

I get a 0x80070323 error when I play an MP4 file on my computer and then close the actual folder the file is in. I shouldn't need to keep the folder open just to play the file. Jesus Microsoft is getting more and more frustrating to use. Any solutions?

Windows Hardware Errors
Hello, This is my third attempt at posting. The prior two times, my post has vanished with no emails or notifications of any kind, just gone. Hope someone besides a bot will read this. I have been getting several 'windows hardware errors' showing up in the 'reliability history' tool on Windows 11. I'd post the information about them, but maybe that is why my post is being removed? Is there someone willing to help troubleshoot? Thanks
