output sound just stopped win 11
Hello, Recent upgrade to win 11 from win 10, from a certified MS reseller. All was fine for about 2 months.......THEN... one day my old guy analog mini jack plug in speakers just stop working. Have verified the following: Driver OK, Win Update OK, mini jack cord OK, speakers verified with other source-OK I do get a buzzing in the speakers when I first introduce the jack to the inlet, but when fully inserted, silence. Also no sound in PC speaker and no sound to plug in head phones. Neither youtube, nor zoom has sound output. Brower window does not have option for any sound. Speaker icon is "x"'d out. PC Settings has no option for adding wired device. No pop up to acknowledge new plugged in device, like win 10 had.[On demand]: AMA: Windows accessibility in the enterprise

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?
Why Does Windows 11 Keep Hiding My System Tray Icons? (Taskbar Icons Missing)
Has anyone figured out why Windows 11 keeps hiding system tray icons? My taskbar icons go missing constantly, and I can’t get certain apps to stay visible. Sometimes they show up under the taskbar overflow menu, sometimes they completely disappear from the notification area, and sometimes they only show up after a restart. I’ve searched everywhere for answers like: “Windows 11 taskbar icons missing” “system tray icons keep disappearing” “hidden notification area icons” “apps not showing in system tray Windows 11” “Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/Volume icon missing” “Windows 11 keeps auto-hiding tray icons” It seems like this issue happens after Windows updates or changes in the settings menu. I’ve already checked Select which icons appear on the taskbar, but Windows still hides them. Restarting Explorer sometimes fixes it, but the icons eventually vanish again. I’ve also seen mentions of registry keys like IconStreams and PastIconsStream, but I’m not sure if editing those is safe. Is there a reliable fix to stop Windows 11 from auto-hiding system tray icons? Why do my notification area icons randomly disappear, refuse to stay pinned, or only show when clicked? Any solutions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.Overview of Copilot solutions and Key Benefits
