Windows PC user session and password entry
I installed Windows 11 on laptop and by default I am under an administrator account. I set a session password for the administrator. Then I decided to create another 'standard' Windows account for a family member. I also set a user password for this other account. But the problem is this: when I log in as administrator I can enter my password using the Azerty keyboard, but when I log in with the other user account (non-admin), the password is entered using the keyboard Qwerty. I went to the keyboard settings and the keyboard is well defined in France (so azerty). But "Windows display language: English (United States)". The entire Windows interface is in English. Do I change the interface language to French to be able to enter the Azertty keyboard password? And how to do it please? Indeed when I installed Windows 11 from my bootable USB key I had no other choice than English (United States) for the display language...
Why is the Extend Volume option grayed out and unavailable in Windows 10 Disk Management?
In Disk Management, I want to merge a 20GB unallocated space into the adjacent E drive, but the “Extend Volume” option is grayed out and unavailable, preventing direct operation. I need to understand the limitations of this feature and effective methods to achieve the merge.Windows PC launch problem on Asus Z87-Pro motherboard
I have just built a new PC with more or less old components: processor: intel i7-4770k motherboard: asus Z87-pro (bios 1602 then updated with the latest bios) RAM: G-skill F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM RipjawsX 8Go (2x4Go) DDR3-1600 CL7-8-8 1.50V GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2060 - GDDR6 6 GB SSD: KingSpec 1To 2.5" SATA power supply: Corsair CX750 - 750W case: Cooler Master HAF 500 White (before this assembly, my W10 was installed in the SDD in my old tower with an i7-860+ asus P7P55D + 8 GB RAM (DDR3) with the RTX 2060, everything worked without problems.) I am asking you because I lack the skills to deal with this problem: I can't launch my SSD with W10 (sometimes I get the automatic repair preparation message) I can't boot a USB key with W10, wanting to do a "clean" installation of W10 => each time, when the Windows logo (black screen + blue rectangles) is displayed, nothing happens, the small dots that rotate in a circle are not displayed either... what I tested: I installed my Windows 7 from a DVD player in my new config => OK it works I get to the office etc... (but I would like to install W10...) I separately tested the graphics card, the RAM sticks, the SSD, the power supply, only the motherboard could not be tested with another processor (but Windows 7 installed correctly) so on the component side, I think everything is OK I created W10 bootable USB keys with 3 different USB keys, with the MediaCreationTool.exe tool from Windows and Rufus (with ISO from the Windows 10 2022 tool | Version 22H2) => still the same problem initially I carried out the manipulations with a bios 1602 which I finally updated to the latest version 2103 => still the same problem I tested with CSM enabled /auto /disabled => still the same problem I don't know how to deactivate secure boot on the Z87-pro, maybe that's the problem? In the end I manage to install W10 with my old config (bios) with bootable key in MBR, but not in the new UEFI config with bootable key GPT... Thank you for taking the time to read me. Looking forward to your answers/questions, I wish you a happy new year 2025!

Completely new to image editing and I'm struggling to make image backgrounds transparent on my PC. I tried Photoshop, but it feels very complicated and overwhelming for a beginner, especially for simple tasks like removing a background. Mostly, i work with PNG or JPG images and just want a clean transparent background for icons, product images, or simple designs. Are there any beginner-friendly tools or easy methods you would recommend on Windows to let me easily make background transparent for images? Free tools or simple desktop software would be perfect.
Need help for windows 8.1 iso download 64 bit and 32 bit
My laptop comes with Windows 8.1 and it couldn't boot into desktop anymore. I need to make a bootable usb drive but don't know a safe place to download Windows 8.1 iso image. I need both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Can anyone share a reliable place for windows 8.1 iso download? ThanksMore video thumbnails in Explorer.
Overnight, new videos created on my PC no longer display thumbnails (Windows 10 x64 Pro 22H2 last update) except for .wmv and .avi Those who had their thumbnails cached kept them. It's only for videos, no problem for images. I use V1C by default but it's the same with another player. From what I understand, it's the explorer that manages the thumbnails so it's normal that using V1C or something else doesn't change anything. I have tried almost every solution found on the internet. Among other things, I deleted the cache, which just had the effect of obviously removing the existing thumbnails but without rebuilding them. What I don't understand is did it work without problems and then no.
