576 TopicsPL2303 issues (Prolific USB to Serial Drivers) Win 11
I have come across an issue that I don't if anyone has come across and found a fix? I have a few handheld radios that I need to update the frequencies and when I connect to the USB, it fails to connect. In device manager and Ports it says - "Please install corresponding PL2303 driver to support Windows 11 and further OS" I have tried different ways and still it won't update drivers/COM ports. I've run out of ideas (as for a novice). Has anyone been across this and sorted it? Thanks, Cundy66Solved1.9MViews2likes70CommentsMicrosoft Print to PDF Missing

My Windows 11 PC and Windows 10 laptop start to run slowly and the C drive keeps losing free space even though no large files were added. I don't know the exact reason. I know Windows creates temporary files, update cache, and app leftovers, but not sure which ones are safe to delete and which tools or built-in options are recommended by Microsoft. Disk Cleanup seems basic, and I'm unsure if it clears everything. Could someone explain the best method to clear all cache and junk files from Windows 11 without risking system stability?34KViews1like8CommentsWindows 7 What Browsers will still work with Windows 7?
I have a neighbor who has an old HP desktop he wants to give to his 10-year-old Grandson to get him started on computers. I set the computer back to out-of-the-box settings and cloned the disk to an SSD. The problem I am having is finding a browser that still works on Windows 7. I have downloaded and burned to CD several that said they would work, but don't. Are there really one that still works on a 7 computer? I saw a couple that said will work, but needs Windows 7 with SP1, which is not available any longer. I see Windows 10 programs are still available, but I don't know if he wants to spend the $$$. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.31KViews0likes9CommentsWIndows 11 WIFI Adapter has disappeared
Hello all, Just joined today as I am having a nightmare. Any advice is at all appreciated. Today my wireless adaptor completely disappeared. I loaded it up and there is no option to connect to a wi-fi adapter. I have: Reset the machine. Done a network reset. Used troubleshooting. Uninstalled the driver. Reset my system BIOS to factory settings. Completely re-installed windows. Downloaded the Intel drivers onto a USB stick and re-installed them. I have a Medion PP645-MD61361, it does not have an ethernet connection which makes things even harder. The Intel adaptor no longer shows in my device manager, it's completely gone. However a "Network Controller" has showed up in Other Devices but I can't update it with the intel drivers or the internet as I don't have access to it on that machine. Can anybody shed some light as to what I might have missed please? Thank you, Thomas28KViews0likes16CommentsWhy does Yahoo keep opening in Chrome Windows 11 computer?
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 computer. For some reason, Yahoo keeps opening automatically in Google Chrome, even when I’m not trying to access it. This happens frequently and interrupts my workflow. I've checked my browser settings and extensions, but I can't find anything unusual. I’ve also cleared my browser cache and cookies, but the problem persists. Has anyone else faced a similar issue or knows how to stop this from happening? Thank you!25KViews11likes12CommentsDsound.dll Eroor

こんにちは。 最近、古いPCにWindows 11を入れようとしてるんですが、「このPCはCPUが非対応です」って出てインストールが止まっちゃいます。 ネットでレジストリをいじるとか、ISOを編集するとか色々見たんですけど、正直どれが安全で確実なのか分かりません…。 できればクリーンインストールじゃなく、Windows 10からそのままアップグレードしたいです。 実際にWindows 11 CPU非対応を回避する方法を試した方いませんか? どの方法が一番簡単で、トラブル少ないか教えてもらえると助かります。 環境:i7-7700K / 16GB RAM / SSD 512GB よろしくお願いします!24KViews0likes6CommentsWindows 11 auf nicht unterstützter Hardware installieren
Hey zusammen, ich hab da mal eine Frage an die Runde. Ich versuche gerade, Windows 11 auf meinem alten Dell Inspiron 15 5578 zu installieren, aber natürlich meckert das Setup rum mit der Meldung „Dieser PC unterstützt derzeit die Systemanforderungen für Windows 11 nicht“. Ehrlich gesagt läuft der Laptop noch top – i7-7500U, 16 GB RAM, SSD – also eigentlich kein Schrott. Ich versteh nur nicht, warum Microsoft das so strikt blockiert. TPM 2.0 ist da, Secure Boot lässt sich aktivieren, aber beim Upgrade bricht es trotzdem ab. Hat jemand von euch das vielleicht auf ähnlicher Hardware geschafft? Ich will kein wildes Registry-Gebastel machen, aber wenn’s eine halbwegs saubere Methode gibt, würd ich’s gern probieren. Danke schon mal für eure Erfahrungen oder Tipps! 🙏18KViews0likes12Comments
