Windows 11 25H2 experiences lag when playing games; my system meets the system requirements.
I'm running Windows 11 Home Chinese Edition 25H2 (with the latest updates installed), and my graphics card drivers are up to date. My hardware meets all the game's requirements. However, even when I lower the resolution to 720p, the game still experiences noticeable lag. Is this an issue specific to my setup, or is it a common problem with this version of the operating system?
Wifi not working after deleting capability access manager db
is there someone here with some computer windows know how - I was having a problem with the capability accessmanager database consuming all my hard drive space and so every bit of advice I found online from even windows forums was to simply delete the db file and windows will automatically recreate it but it will eliminate the enormous file upon next restart I did that and now though I don't have any wifi connection and I get an error message in services when I try to restart the capability access manager service - I don't know what to do now I have windows 11. All the advice I found online was saying that if you delete the database file that is okay because windows just recreates it when you restart as long as Capability Access manager service isn't disabled - well I didn't disable it, I just followed the directions to go into safe.mode and delete the db file But now after restarts the Capability access manager remains disabled and I can't start it in the services.msc

I updateed my subscription for this tool and depend onm it.. SO please help me fix thisUnable to disable/change gamebar hotkeys
For a week now, whenever I press F1, F2, F3 and F4, game bar pops up and does unintentional things. I can't press ALT+F4 anymore because it is recording my screen. I can't use any kind of shortcuts that I have made for other softwares. I have no clue on what to do. I was fine with using gamebar by pressing Windows + G but I didn't ask for such useless and annoying feature where I can't even disable this or change hotkeys. I DID disable all the screen recording options and anything related to gamebar but it STILL records my screen even though it remains DISABLED in the SETTINGS.
Reinstalling the Microsoft Gaming Overlay
Hi! Some time ago, I uninstalled the Microsoft Gaming Overlay - I think it was the overlay used by the Xbox Game Bar (win+G to bring it up). I am trying to reinstall it, but I can't figure it out. Is there a powershell command I can use to reinstall it? Every time I launch a game, I get the following popup a few times: Any ideas? Thanks!
Windows Defender Notifications Not Working — Even After Clean Installs, BIOS Reset & Full Repairs
Hi everyone, I’m facing a strange and persistent issue with Windows Defender notifications, and I’m hoping someone here may have encountered something similar. During routine system maintenance, I noticed that Windows Defender has completely stopped showing notifications — no scan completion alerts, no threat‑found pop‑ups, nothing at all. Troubleshooting I’ve Already Done To rule out corruption, configuration issues, or hardware‑related causes, I’ve carried out extensive testing across multiple clean installations: Reinstalled Windows using the Media Creation Tool → still no Defender notifications Reinstalled Windows again using Rufus → same result Reset BIOS / cleared CMOS Installed an older Windows 11 build (offline, before updates) → still no notifications Deleted all partitions on every reinstall (full clean install) Verified all Windows Defender notification settings, including Enhanced Notifications Checked Windows notification settings to ensure Windows Security is allowed Ran SFC Performed DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Confirmed no registry or Group Policy entries suppressing notifications Reinstalled Windows Defender components Scanned with third‑party tools and Microsoft MRT — no issues found Ensured Windows Push Notification System Service is running Despite all of this, Defender notifications never appear on any fresh installation. Microsoft Support I opened a support ticket with Microsoft. One engineer performed an in‑place repair install Another advised me to post the issue here for deeper investigation Ticket reference: 710148747 Additional Technical Findings 1. Notifications are not being suppressed No GPOs applied No Intune configuration profiles No registry entries modifying notification behaviour Local notification settings fully enabled Defender notifications fully enabled It’s not a profile corruption It’s not a user hive issue It’s not a local DB issue It’s OS‑level 2. Windows Notification Platform (WNP) appears to be the root cause Across multiple clean installs: ShellExperienceHost exists on disk. Focus Assist toggle produces no toast (not sure it does) other apps like mail, Logitech, steam can toast notification, i don't see defender toasting any scan notification. WNP is partially working Defender is partially registering The scan‑completion channel is failing specifically This behaviour is consistent and reproducible. 3. Defender functionality validated using EICAR I manually created the EICAR test file and ran a scan: Defender detects and removes the file correctly Detection appears in Protection History A threat notification appears Scan completion notifications do NOT appear This confirms: Defender itself is functioning The notification delivery layer (WNP) is not working question at MS QA- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5864084/windows-defender-notifications-not-working-even-afNot enough disk space and can't clear temp files?!
Hi, I am having problems with my acer aspire 5. I have very limited disk space and it says 700+gb are taken by temporary files: When I try to press on temporary files and clean it, it gives me like barely any files to clear: I have trawled this forum trying all the commands I can find but they're all making no difference! This is making my laptop unusable, any advice? TIA
