The Microsoft Store app on my freshly installed Windows 11 Pro 23H2, is not opening since I could not activate my Windows 11 using my digital signature which was connected to my previous version of Windows 10 that subsequently updated to Windows 11 Pro 23 H2. Neither online chat support is accessible nor their phone callback is working though I have placed three callbacks out of which one was cancelled after 3 days! In the meantime, I am unable to activate Windows 11 though I have tried several methods including buying a new activation key! The new activation key also failed to connect to my digital account. Different types of Errors are coming. Although I have purchased a new product key, an error saying the product key was used on another device. Searching for any such device left me blank as no such devices could be traced! Hence, I am unable to activate Windows 11 for which I wanted to contact support, but that also failed! What is going on and what is the solution to my problems? I have also tried to activate with my old product key which I used for my Windows 10 PC for the first time. I have made no hardware changes while upgrading to Windows 11 Pro 23H2. Then what is the problem I cannot understand!71Views0likes3CommentsHow to simplify Windows 11 computer settings for my grandmother
My grandmother uses an HP 24-cr0114 computer mainly for playing simple old-fashioned games, logging into her local bank's website, and browsing the web. She accidentally activated BitLocker encryption again (the recovery key has been found) and often forgets her login password (causing her bank account to be frequently reset). I hope to set up the computer as follows: Auto-login after startup without entering a password. Completely disable BitLocker encryption to avoid accidental activation and lockout. Keep the overall operation as simple and intuitive as possible, similar to her usage habits from many years ago. I am looking for specific, secure configuration steps and suggestions.82Views0likes5CommentsI don't get any notifications on WhatsApp Windows app

Tenor recently announced it will gradually shut down its GIF API service. There are animated GIF/emoji search or insertion features in Windows 11 that rely on this API. Once the API service is discontinued, will these features completely stop working, show errors, or will Microsoft replace them with APIs from other providers? As a feature that may not be heavily used, how will this change affect ordinary users?412Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 automatically creates duplicate Program folders on the C drive.
In addition to the standard Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, multiple extra “Program” folders have automatically appeared in the root directory of the C drive (e.g., the system prompts to rename the newly created one to Program1, then another appears and requires renaming to Program2). A warning states that failure to rename them will cause certain programs to malfunction. This is suspected to be caused by system path or registry corruption. Seeking a repair solution.54Views0likes1CommentHEIC image extension not working on Windows 11, are there any heic extension alternatives?
Hello everyone, help! Recently I transferred some HEIC photos from my iPhone to my Windows 11 computer, and I realized that the HEIC image extension suddenly stopped working, and double-clicking on the image directly prompts “Unable to open this file”. It used to work, so I'm not sure if it's a system update issue or if the extension has crashed. I tried to reinstall HEIF Image Extensions in Microsoft Store, but it still doesn't work, even some people said to buy HEVC Video Extensions, which is too pitiful for Microsoft ......😓. So I would like to ask everyone, is there any more stable HEIC image extension alternatives, preferably free ones, that can open HEIC images directly on Windows 11, without having to convert the format every time. Does anyone have the same problem? Please recommend a reliable method! 🙏Solved56KViews3likes9CommentsA app called 't' always tries to prevent reboots and shut downs. What is it?
Whenever I try to reboot or shut down my laptop, for a few seconds I see this message: t This app is preventing you from restarting. I've looked on the task manager but I can't find any apps named 't' running on the background, I've also done a full scan for viruses, nothing. Any ideas? Thank you.Solved309KViews6likes48CommentsNo app thumbnail on taskbar
Hello! I noticed that whenever I open an app that's not pinned on my taskbar, it would show up like this. I have a screenshot with Spotify, for this example. There are some other situations where it would pop up normally. Right next to the Spotify app, there's Discord. The app isn't pinned on my taskbar as well, but whenever I open it, the thumbnail shows up properly. Is there any solution to fix this problem, so that the apps would show up properly? Thank you! 🙂11KViews0likes10Comments
