LGPO /t Option not working
I created a text file using LGPO.exe /parse /m C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\registry.pol > Regpol.txt command and when I try to import the text file using LGPO.exe /t Regpol.txt /v, it doesn't display anything on the Admin console. When I went to the Windows Event viewer, I'm seeing LGPO.exe with an Exception code of: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0003ce7b I tried the same program and file on a Windows 10 PC and it worked fine. I completely reinstalled Windows 11 Pro and then tried it again and it still doesn't work giving me the same error in the Event viewer. I'm running version 3.0.2004.13001
How to update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2 on unsupported PC?
Hi, I have an old PC currently running Windows 11 22H2 and want to update it to 24H2. The issue is that this PC is not fully supported by Windows 11 as the CPU is unsupported and does not have TPM 2.0 chip. There is no update received on my computer so I have to install Windows 11 24H2 manually on this unsupported PC. By the way, it could be great to keep the apps and personal files. So I prefer an in-place upgrade to 24H2 other than clean install from USB drive. Is there any in-place upgrade solution to update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2? Much appreciated if you could let me know how to do that. Thank youPIN reset in windows 11 after motherboard change
Hello hoping someone can help me, I have changed motherboard, entered the bitlocker key and now can’t login to my windows credentials as it’s wanting me to reset my pin but when I click send me a reset code via my email I don’t receive anything. Has anyone ever encountered this? I would usually do a fresh install when swapping motherboard but it unexpected died and so didn’t have chance to back my files up.
Fully Automated Windows Factory Reset for Corporate Laptops
Hello, I am working on a corporate project where we need to allow employees to purchase company laptops. After purchase, the laptop must be fully reset to a “factory state,” removing all corporate data and files. I have tried several approaches: systemreset -factoryreset — but it always shows the GUI and prompts the user to choose whether to keep files or remove everything. Using a ResetConfig.xml — but without an OEM recovery image, it does not work. Applying install.wim via DISM — but after reboot, the system remains unchanged. My goal is to fully automate the factory reset without any user interaction, ideally in a corporate environment. I am considering using MDT, SCCM, or Intune. My questions: What is the best approach to fully automate Windows reset for corporate laptops? Are there best practices or official guides from Microsoft for this scenario? Has anyone successfully implemented fully automated factory reset in a corporate deployment?Help on how to boot from old SSD on newest Motherboard
I have a PC with a motherboard ASROCK H510M-HDV/M2 retail and a disk SSD Patriot P300 512GB NVME M.2 PCIE GEN 3 X4. On hand I have an older SSD Apacer 240GB with Windows 10 Pro on it. I want (and need) to set the old Apacer as the boot drive but : In the BIOS 1. It is recognized as a SATA disk 2. It does not show up in the boot menu. Only the newer NvMe is shown in the boot manager. 3. When I remove the NVME disk, there is no boot disk available. There must be some BIOS tweak to make the "legacy" SSD as boot disk but I cannot find it. Any help appreciated.
