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?

Hello everyone, I'm facing a challenge and could use some advice from this community. I have a password protected RAR file that I need to access, but unfortunately, I don't have the password for it.

Like seemingly half the world, I have had issues with Desktop Window Manager using obscene amounts of memory and for the longest time I couldn't figure it out. I finally made the connection, all is fine until I open up two Excel (online App) Spreadsheets simultaneously. The memory usage goes from ~100MB to 1.6-2.0GB, and then never goes back down, even when Excel is closed out. I don't see this particular issue anywhere on the interwebs. Anyone have any idea what possibly could be causing this and what can be done?16Views0likes0CommentsRufus Not Working on my Windows 11 PC
I was trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 but it tells me The PC must support TPM 2.0. I don’t know what TPM is and it is a quite old PC I bought five years ago. After that, I did some searching and a lot of people recommend the Rufus app to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC that lacks TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. However, the USB created by Rufus is not seen as a bootable media. I did set the BIOS to boot from USB first. I burned the Windows 11 ISO two more times with different booting scheme prorvided by Rufus. Unfortunately, it does not work either. How to fix this if Rufus is not working on Windows 11? Anyone know what is the problem in my case? Thanks.Solved16KViews0likes10CommentsNewbie help Suggestions win10 to win11
Hi everyone, First at home. poster here. Apologies if this has been answered. I currently have 2 PCs and a laptop all running win10 at home. None are win11 capable. I loath the idea of replacing these relatively new machines so it got me thinking, can I install an inexpensive PC running win11 to act as a "gateway" (intermediary) with the internet so that it's security shields my win10 machines from the security threats that will occur after win10 expires? Is this possible? If the answer is yes I'll be looking for the ways and means. Thank you very much!17Views0likes0Comments
