Slowness and saturated Ram following transition to Win 11
I have a Dell G5 15 5587 (2019) laptop - (16go Ram - SSD 256 + DD 1To - Intel 6c/12t CPU - GPU 1060 6go) Since switching to Win 11 last November (voluntary automatic migration), I have had major problems with slowness. The RAM is quickly saturated at more than 85%, everything reacts very slowly, after an hour I have to restart the PC to regain some flexibility). Documents take a good minute to open, with more than 5 PDFs the reader crashes, etc. It's a real hassle. The CPU is never used much (I don't play on it anymore), but it takes crazy hits which can last 30sc where it gets carried away before returning to a normal office level. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.How Do I Clean up My PC on Windows 11?
For no reason, my Windows 11 PC has become extremely slow and cluttered over time. This happens frequently after installing the latest 25H2 update. I'm not very technical and feel overwhelmed. I want to get a clear, beginner-friendly guide to safely clean up my PC on Windows 11, such as removing junk files, managing startup programs, and uninstalling bloatware without breaking anything. This PC has 8GB RAM, Intel i5 12th Gen CPU and 512GB SSD.AVG Prevented HP Smart Installing - Windows 11
Neighbour was tearing his hair out trying to get a new HP printer (yes, I know…) connected and the HP Smart app systematically crashed during install. No indications from AVG that it was doing anything, but watching Task Manager, I saw AVG CPU use spike just as HP Smart crashed. Uninstalled the various AVG elements and restarted. HP Smart app installed normally and new printed set up correctly. Neighbour already had the hump with the recently installed AVG as it “kept trying to sell him add-ons”, so he wasn’t fussed about it being removed.
Windows 11 account issues: lock screen skipped, device not showing in Microsoft account
Hi everyone, I’m facing a few strange issues on Windows 11 that seem to be limited only to my main user profile, and I’m hoping to fix them without creating a new profile and migrating all my data. Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings: I see a sign-in-related issue & an error code 0x80860010. The lock screen is skipped when the PC starts. On power-on or restart, the lock screen flashes for a split second, and then Windows directly goes to the PIN entry screen. This happens only on my main user account. If I create a new local or Microsoft account, the lock screen works perfectly even after a restart or cold boot. My Windows PC does not appear under Devices on my Microsoft account page, even though the PC is signed in with my Microsoft account locally. I’ve already tried restarting, signing out and back into my Microsoft account, checking sign-in options, and testing Fast Startup on and off. Since everything works fine on newly created accounts, I believe my existing user profile or account state may be corrupted. I’m trying to avoid creating a new profile and manually migrating data if possible. Any guidance on repairing the current user profile, re-linking the device to my Microsoft account, or restoring normal lock screen behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. ~GouravWindows 11でYouTube MP3 変換ができず困っています

Windows 11 right-click .js file open method: “Script Host”
When right-clicking a .js file, an unremovable “Microsoft® Windows Based Script Host” option appears in the “Open With” menu. Standard methods (searching the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for the same entry and deleting it) fail because the registry path or key name does not match. Seeking a professional-level solution.
Migrate to Win 11 before or after changing HDD ?
Windows 10 offers me to upgrade to Windows 11, but I want to change my hard drive to upgrade to an SSD. Regarding the license, in what order should I take it ? Another question, is the migration done via an update, or do you have to download an ISO ? THANKS
