Media Server and Windows standby
Has power management changed between Windows 10 and Windows 11? I run a media server (Twonky) and on Windows 10 it worked fine but with Windows 11, standby causes the media server to also stop. It is possible that I had disabled standby-on-power on the Windows 10 system but I don't remember doing that so has anything changed? Paul DS.
endless repair loop at boot up
Can anyone help? Out of nowhere, overnight my PC went into the endless repair loop at boot up. I did all available methods in the Troubleshoot tab and more. All failed, roll back failed, restore failed, remove last update failed, start up repair failed, command prompt... SFC Scan etc steps completed and failed to fix, restore from image failed as all images disappeared, reset failed, tried to reinstall Windows 11 failed, will not allowed me to install Windows in any one of my 5 SSD. While I was trying to restore from Restore point or images, I could access all files inside all 5 of my SSD so I think the SSD drives are still good. Initially, it will not even let me restore back to my last 11/7 restore point but after I did the unplug and hold power button for 35+ seconds, I was able to restore back to 11/7 restore point but again the same automatic repair loop at boot up still not fixed, went right back to blue screen with Troubleshoot tab. Also gone through all of the above steps with an USB Windows boot up repair drive, still problem persists! Any anyone can share some idea?

Why does Yahoo keep opening in Chrome Windows 11 computer?
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 computer. For some reason, Yahoo keeps opening automatically in Google Chrome, even when I’m not trying to access it. This happens frequently and interrupts my workflow. I've checked my browser settings and extensions, but I can't find anything unusual. I’ve also cleared my browser cache and cookies, but the problem persists. Has anyone else faced a similar issue or knows how to stop this from happening? Thank you!
Magnifier starts tiny in the corner
I have poor vision and I regularly use the Magnifier tool on my Windows 11 desktop. I went to Accessibility > Magnifier and made these my settings: When I start my computer, I want the Magnifier to be minimized by default. I got it working on a different desktop of mine, but on this one the magnifier starts in this small, miniwindow in the corner. To get it to this point, I set up my Regedit to these values: What I want is that when I start the computer the magnifier tool is open and already minimized so I can use the hot keys to start zooming right away, but the small window means I have to find and close it every time. I have it working on my other desktop, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
