When I open Task View, the virtual desktop thumbnails appear blank.
After pressing Win + Tab to open Task View, the virtual desktop thumbnail area appears blank or black, and real-time content previews for each virtual desktop do not display. The thumbnails also fail to display properly after creating a new virtual desktop. Restarting File Explorer temporarily resolves the issue, but it recurs.
windows 11 update+keyboard not working
Hi, I finally updated my laptop to Window11, after my computer stubbornly suggested it for a long time and at the same time I thought that the worst bugs would be bypassed. My update went well, but the only problem is that the laptop keyboard does not work. When I connect an external keyboard to the laptop, it works fine and of course the mouse and touchpad work. At first I figured it out on my own and downloaded the latest available drivers, but nothing made the keyboard work. Finally I ended up asking the artificial intelligence and got good answers and recommendations from there, but it turned out that Asus did not offer all the drivers that the AI recommended. At the moment the situation is open, I use the computer with an external keyboard, but the idea is also to update back to windows 10, if nothing works. So I would like some advice on how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance. My laptop is ASUS M433IA-HM493T Laptop.
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!
How do I pin a desktop shortcut to the Start Menu?
I have gone thru half a dozen "solutions" and they're all non-solutions. Most if not all lead to menus where the purported solution does not show, perhaps this is a question of versions. I created a shortcut on Windows11 Desktop. It is a shortcut to Windows Update. When clicked it runs correctly. The solution(s) I gathered say to right click the shortcut and expect a "Pin to Start menu" option to pop up. Well .... NONE did. Why is this seemingly simple and trivial functionality not failing on Windows 10? Would appreciate any guidance, tip or suggestion. Thanks in advance.The Windows 11 25H2 update failed, and the computer automatically restarts when I shut it down.
I encountered error code 0x80070002 while updating to Windows 11 25H2. I’ve tried various commands and fixes I found online, but none of them worked. Now, my computer automatically restarts every time I shut it down, and I can only shut it down by holding down the Shift key. How can I fix this?[Windows Server 2025 Host] KB5062553 (and June’s) Breaks GPU-P to Windows 11 VM
I'm running Windows Server 2025 as my Hyper-V host, with RTX A4500 20GB, and using GPU Partitioning (GPU-P) to assign GPU resources to a Windows 11 24H2 VM. Everything worked flawlessly before the last two cumulative updates - June’s and now July’s KB5062553. After either update, all the old issues come back: - VM freezes at boot or right after login - Remote Desktop disconnects or becomes unresponsive - Assigning a GPU partition to the VM triggers hangs and instability - Rolling back the update restores stability, but Windows keeps trying to push these updates, have to manually hide it. After that VM working great. It’s not just the July update - June’s cumulative update caused the same problems. I know Microsoft claims to have fixed some GPU/VM bugs, but for me (and apparently others), the issues persist when running GPU-P from a Server 2025 host to a Windows 11 guest. - Anyone else running into this with Server 2025 Hyper-V and GPU-P to Windows 11 VMs after recent updates? - Any way to reliably block these updates or workaround for GPU-P? - Has Microsoft acknowledged this for Server 2025 hosts, or are we just waiting for a real fix? For now, I’m snapshotting before every update and rolling back as needed, but this obviously isn’t sustainable. Would love to hear if anyone else is fighting this battle - or has found a way to keep GPU-P working from Server 2025 to Windows 11 after the June/July updates! If this is in the wrong section, mods please move this. Thanks.
