Is there any good hard disk data recovery software for Windows 11 recommended?
Hello everyone, the mechanical hard drive connected to my laptop suddenly cannot be recognized recently. There are a lot of work data and photos in it. Now I can see the drive letter when I plug it in, but when I click it, it says "need to be formatted before use". I checked and it seems that the partition table is broken? Is there any good hard disk data recovery software recommended? It is best to use one that is easy to operate and not easy to overwrite the original data. I dare not touch it now... The platform is Windows 11, the hard drive is Seagate 2TB, and the format is NTFS. If there is a kind of preview before recovery, it will be better. Friends who have used it, please recommend it, please~🙏
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? Aorus motherboard bad?
One single app (game) long load time on initial startup
Windows version 25H2 Game is Arma Reforger run through Steam On first start of game after a fresh system boot, the game takes approximately 1 minute to open. Presented with a blank screen with spinning blue wheel mouse cursor. After this initial loading of the game, it will load normally like all other games, usually about 2 to 3 seconds. I have narrowed it down to this one game by rebooting system, starting 5 other games in Steam, including Arma Reforger Experimental, which is a test branch of the game I am having issues with. All of those games start normally. After starting those, I then try Arma Reforger and it takes approximately 1 minute to load, loading normally from then on until next system reboot. I have removed the game and all files. Reinstalled and also relocated. All drives are m.2. All the games on the drive load normally as stated so I do not think it is a drive issue. I also disabled Windows Defender temporarily after a system reboot and it did not fix the issue. I feel like I have narrowed it down to something in Windows 11 causing the long initial load of this game only but I do not know how to determine that or fix it. Please help Windows Build/Version26200.7019 / 25H2
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.
Monitor turns off for few seconds when opening certain apps
**bleep** of now those apps include Apple Music, tidal, Amazon prime, the monitor turns off for a few seconds then turns back on, it’ll work fine and then when I close it it does it again. Turns off for a few seconds then it’s fine, this is very very annoying and definitely not normal ive tried ddu install, ive tried capping fps in the apps and still nothing, all input is welcome windows 11 144hz monitor 5080 ryzen 7 9800x3d 32gb ddr5 6000MTWhy is my Win 11 slower than Win 10?
When I upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 on my laptop, I noticed a significant decrease in performance. Tasks that used to be swift now take noticeably longer, and overall system responsiveness has decreased. From boot times to opening applications and navigating the interface. Despite my laptop meeting the system requirements for Win11, the transition has resulted in a frustrating experience where productivity is hampered by sluggish performance. I'm seeking assistance to understand and potentially resolve this issue.
