File History has stopped functioning
My file history program has stopped functioning. I tried searching the internet for some of these error messages and I have not found anything that has a solution that works. I tried deleting the backup on my backup drive, and also deleting the file history data/configuration folders so it would "start fresh" and I still keep getting errors. Here are some of the errors: Also have gotten a bunch of different errors for "reparse points". This is one example. I tried to exclude some of these folders from the backup but it didn't seem to help. But how do I find and eliminate a "reparse point" so it doesn't cause the file history to fail? And why doesn't file history just ignore those folders and go on and back up everything else?
White Icons on Windows 11 – IconCache.db Rebuild Did Not Help
Hello everyone, I would need your help regarding an icon display issue on Windows 11. For the past few months, most of the icons on our Windows 11 devices have been appearing as white/blank icons. The issue is also present on the server. For example, the icons for File Explorer and Command Prompt (CMD) are also affected. I have already tried rebuilding the IconCache.db file, but unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem or any solution I could try? Thank you in advance for your help.
Windows 11 home internet not working after update
I just updated with my windows 11 home with the latest patches today. After restart, my internet is not working anymore. I have tried restarting few times, restarting the router, flushing dns, Ip release, IP renew etc. Nothing worked. Did a full network reset. That failed too. As a last resort as suggested by Google AI, I manually set my DNS to a fixed IP, then only it worked. So after updating my Win 11 today, my automatic dhcp totatlly stopped working. Has this happened to anyone else ? Any guess why this would have happened and how I can get my automatic DNS back to working state ? WIFI is working on every other device conntected like phone, TV, Alexa...etc. Thanks.

Can anyone help???Widgets panel takes forever to load and sometimes won't open at all
The Widgets panel has been super slow lately. It sometimes takes 20–30 seconds to load, and occasionally it just won't open no matter how many times I click the icon. I've already restarted the Widgets process, cleared its cache, and checked for updates. Nothing helped. It's a clean install with no third-party tweaks. Anyone run into this or know what's causing it?Windows 11 keeps changing my default browser back to Edge after every update
Every time Windows 11 installs an update, it resets my default browser back to Edge. I've set Chrome as default more times than I can count, but the next patch comes through and it's back to Edge again. I even tried removing Edge once, but Windows just reinstalled it during the next update. I've gone through Settings and set Chrome as default for every file type I could find. Still happens. Not comfortable messing with the registry unless I know exactly what I'm doing. Anyone else dealing with this on Windows 11? Found a way to make it stick?
Help! Almost new computer keeps freezing randomly.
Hi! I would like to have some assistance please. I have an almost new computer that keeps freezing randomly whenever I use the browser, when I'm listening to music, or when the computer is idle for some time. Something important to say is that whenever I'm playing a game, the computer never freezes. The same happens while watching a movie. I can keep playing videogames or using the movie player and the computer does not freeze. But if I'm playing music only while I do other stuff without the computer or if I'm watching a video on the browser (chrome or brave) or just surfing on the web, with or without music in the background, the computer can freeze minutes or an hour after I started doing these activities. Another important thing to say is that, when the computer freezes, I'm unable to do anything but the audio is still running. For example, if I'm playing an online video, the video stops, but the audio is still playing. The same happens with the music. Music continues playing until the song ends, everything else is frozen in the meantime, and when the song ends, no more audio is played.Windows 11 keeps resetting my audio output device back to default
Every time I restart my PC, Windows 11 resets my audio output back to the default speakers instead of my USB headset. I've set it manually in Settings and in the Sound Control Panel, but after a reboot it's back to the wrong device. I've already disabled audio enhancements, updated my audio drivers, and turned off "Allow applications to take exclusive control." Still happens. Anyone else dealing with this or know how to make it stick?Stuck in BIOS on my Windows 11 portable console – touchscreen only
So I was messing around with my Windows 11 handheld console and somehow ended up in the BIOS. Now I can't get out. The only input that works is the touchscreen, and none of the usual exit options seem to do anything. I've tried tapping around, looking for a save and exit or discard changes option, but it's not responding the way I'd expect. Not sure if I accidentally changed something or if it's just being stubborn. Anyone know how to exit BIOS when you're stuck with only touchscreen controls? Really don't want to force shutdown if I don't have to.
