Switching to W11, but UEFI or CSM?
The fateful date is fast approaching, my question is how to switch to W11 knowing that I am currently in CSM startup and this is what is blocking this passage in Windows Update. this mode has already bothered me a lot after each update of the bios (twice) of my CM. the PC no longer wants to start, it goes into uefi originally after update and even after putting csm back on it doesn't want to go away, and suddenly it wants to boot.... I have an MSI pro Z690-p ddr4 with a 12600KF, and a P3 nvme 1To SSD.
Windows 25H2 update – S3 sleep mode compatibility issue
Windows 25H2 update – S3 sleep mode compatibility issue Dear Microsoft Engineering Team, hello! I recently discovered a long-standing bug in Windows 11: the computer sleep configuration is the system default, and when it goes to sleep or the second time or after restarting, it will be woken up for no reason during sleep. Personally, I think the compatibility of Windows 11 operating system with S3 sleep is not good, especially for desktops and laptops with 2.5G unlimited brand network cards and onboard 2.5G network cards, there are bugs such as misjudgment of network card signals. In addition, after sleep is awakened, the sound card still has a long silence problem, which can only be restored after a period of time. The program itself does not support the wake-up function after investigation, and the commonly used programs will not disturb sleep, and can eliminate program and hardware problems. I tried the following troubleshooting method 1. Try to reinstall the system and install it cleanly (it cannot be solved) 2: Try to install the latest version of the driver, or even update the BIOS to the latest version (no solution) 3: Replace hardware such as motherboard, memory, power supply, etc., including replacing other brands (unsolvable) 4: Contact Microsoft support and take measures to turn off the wake-on-NIC (temporarily solved, but it affects the wake-on-NIC function, which is inconvenient to use) At present, I don't think this measure is a good stopgap measure, and the measure has seriously affected my normal use of the network card wake-up function, and at the same time is highly dependent on the sleep function. In addition, when asking for help on social media, I saw that ASUS computer staff found sleep compatibility issues between Windows 11 and 2.5G network cards as early as 2024, and the ASUS onboard Intel i226-v network card motherboard could not enter sleep mode normally (model number ROG STRIX B760-G Gaming D4). At the same time, in order to confirm my judgment, I used the tenth generation desktop of my work unit to install the same system to make a comparison, this host is a 1G network card, after testing, the 1G network card in the default power setting (network card wake-up is turned on by default in the device manager power option), there is no above problem, and combined with the two motherboards I replaced before, both have a 2.5G network card on board, one model is (ASUS PRIME B760M-A), the other is (GIGABYTE). GAMING X DDR4 GEN5), and replace a new motherboard again, the problem is still the same, as long as any 2.5G network card on board of any brand of motherboard, including but not limited to self-installed 2.5G network card (network card wake-up is turned on by default in the device manager power options), there is a sudden misjudgment of Windows 11's network card wake-up signal during sleep and is woken up for no reason. At the same time, others have also reported that the motherboard of the 15th generation platform also has the problem of sleep suddenly being woken up by this system bug, so I would like to share my new discovery with you, looking forward to the letter from your behind-the-scenes engineering team, and at the same time, I would like to ask when this problem can be solved (that is, the problem of wake-up suddenly being woken up by a misjudgment signal when the 2.5G network card is turned on by default to wake up and enter sleep)? Thank you very much and look forward to your reply from your engineering team.
Windows 11 Task Manager Startup Impact Display Issue
In the "Startup" tab of Task Manager, some applications show their "Startup Impact" column as blank or "Not measured," instead of the usual Low, Medium, or High ratings. Need to understand whether this status is due to the system deliberately omitting measurements, a malfunction in the measurement mechanism, or restrictions from user permissions/settings. Also seeking methods to fix the display or obtain accurate impact assessments.
Windows 11 24H2 Pro frequently displays the “This PC” window automatically.
When using Windows 11 Pro 24H2, File Explorer randomly pops up and displays the “This PC” window, especially when gaming in full-screen mode, forcing a switch to the desktop and severely disrupting operations. Standard troubleshooting failed to identify the trigger source. Seeking a permanent solution.
How can I update Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 on my pc?
Hello everyone, My PC is currently running Windows 11 23H2, and I just saw that Windows 11 25H2 is starting to roll out. I want to update to 25H2 but not sure what's the safest and most reliable way to do it. I checked Windows Update, but it only says my system is up to date. Should I wait for the automatic rollout, or is there a way to manually update Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 without losing my files and apps? Also, if anyone has experience upgrading directly from 23H2 to 25H2, did you run into any issues? Thanks in advance for the help!lost image message desktop music in quick list

An unknown icon has appeared in the bottom-right corner of the taskbar (near the system tray). It looks like a solid dot with two arrows beside it (possibly pointing in the same or opposite directions). Clicking the icon produces no response or pop-up window. However, when you click the ‘Show Desktop’ button on the taskbar, the icon disappears. It reappears once any application window is opened. Please explain the meaning of the icon, its origin, and how to remove it.
