Could my new Windows 11 Enterprise desktop have CrowdStrike issues?
I received a new desktop computer this March. For the last several months, I have been experiencing at least weekly BSOD issues. And other problems as well. I cannot use SQL Server Management Studio 2019 or 2022, without getting errors: I have clicked the Copy button many times, only to have the issue come back again and again. I've clicked the Don't Copy button, which just results in SSMS closing. Azure Data Studio has similar problems. The BSOD problems are caused by several different drives failing, such as pcw.sys, ntfs.sys, FLTMGR.sys. I can be in any application at all, like Visual Studio, Word, VS Code, Excel, MS Edge, etc., when suddenly that app will freeze, then close. But the one thing that my new PC doesn't do is never allow me to log in, such as is suggested by this link https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/blog/falcon-update-for-windows-hosts-technical-details/ So, I'm wondering, with all the numerous and seemingly unrelated issues that my machine has been experiencing over the last several months, could it be experiencing a CrowdStrike issue from July?
Remote Desktop on Win11 Pro toggle unable to turn on
Hello all, I noticed that the feature of "Remote Desktop" in Settings on Windows 11 Pro edition (version 23H2), is not staying in the "ON" position after trying to toggle it. It displays a message I can confirm it and it switches back to the "OFF" position. Troubleshooting steps done: Reset the NIC (which is not the issue) Taken the workstation off the domain to confirm if it was a domain restriction but will not turn on even as a local admin account (which is not the issue) I have disabled third-party AV (which is not the issue) I have disabled the Windows firewall (which is not the issue) I have allowed the port 3389 (which is not the issue) And last, there is no GPO policy It was working before and three days ago unable to RDP to my workstation. Anybody has run into this issue before and fixed it? Thanks

I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface 7 Laptop Model 2036 Snapdragon(R) X 10-core X1P64100. It comes with Co-pilot, smart this and that, yet it cannot update windows kb 5044384. I have tried everything but the message is - Why in 2024 have Microsoft not sorted out the basic operating system problems. Yes, the move to snapdragon/QUALCOMM is the best development ever, but its spoiled by basic software problems. This is not smart in any way. Microsoft, please advise. Dr Bob. UK.
Documents folder is suddenly empty after a BSOD.
Documents folder is suddenly empty after a black screen of death. I forced shutdown by pressing the power button on the back of my PC. When I logged back in it seems that my entire documents folder was empty. What's more is it said that the new path for the documents folder was users > [MY USERNAME] > downloads > documents. Documents folder disappeared from my quick access and when I attempted to restore to defaults through properties it said this file location did not exist. Properties indicate there are files and folders there but otherwise completely empty. Is this common and can I recover them it? Thank you.New Keyboard Layouts appear suddenly
