Hi everyone, I wondered if anybody here has ever had any problems installing their Microsoft’s Adaptive Controller. I’ve bought one to use on my windows 11 PC but I cant get it working: - connecting it via a mobo port recognises it but its shown as controller in device manager instead of adaptive controller - it doesn’t install any drivers automatically. In devices in settings it just says drivers unavailable - The Xbox icon on the controller flashes on and off constantly - Attempting to connect it via Bluetooth doesn’t work either - the device simply isn’t recognised/doesn’t show up - I’ve got a windows 11 laptop and plugging it into there it works immediately - I’ve tried searching for drivers automatically - but nothing is found - I’ve tried looking for .cabs on the ms catalogue but nothing is recognised during driver install - I’ve tried using default hardware drivers such as XBOX ACCESSORIES but nothing is recognised - I’ve tried copying the drivers from windows 11 laptop > windows 10 pc and whilst it recognises it as the adaptive controller it still won’t work. It says it’s installed the drivers but an error that: the third party INF does not contain digital signature information - I’ve checked windows updates/additional updates and there’s nothing there to install - Current win 11 build is MS version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.7291) windows 10 pro - I’ve tried uninstalling the controller, rebooting and starting again but nothing seems to be working16Views0likes0CommentsChange of registration
I have an HP Probook that has a windows account registered to me. I wish to change the account to my Wife. When I try to enter her email address, I get the message that the email is already in use and to try another one. I don't understand why I can't use her email because it is not entered anywhere on my machine. She does have an older laptop which has an account in her name, and email.25Views0likes1CommentThe Ascending order are differnce in Notion as in the PC
Normally I used the below serial number to tag many things, "180-XX Name". XX will be from 00 to 09, 0A, 0B, 0Z, then 10, 11, until ZZ. It is Base36 and could use 2 digits to represent over 1000. And in PC, when use the ASC order, it will work smoothly. But in Notion, when in ASC order for name, it will show the frequency as 180-00, 180-0A, 180-02, 180-03.... That is annoying. Anything can change that so it will show as windows explorer does.23Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 lock screen slideshow
Can anyone tell me if there is a way, a registry tweak or something that will let me make changes to the lock screen slide show or software to replace the lock screen slide show? a) I want to turn off the mosaic/multiple image feature so that every new image is full screen. b) I'd like to slow down the speed of the slide show so that images stay visible longer. I used to use spotlight and was happy with this but lately I keep getting images I don't like, mostly paintings and clicking "Not a fan" has not affect. I've switched to the slide show hoping to more or less replicate spotlight using my own choice of photos but find the mosaic feature crops photos badly and with the images changing so quick it is distracting when sitting close but not using my laptop.19Views0likes0CommentsI am looking for help (Windows 11 PC)
I’ve been trying to switch boot drives for almost a week. My Windows 11 PC is currently stuck only booting into bios. I reset cmos. Adjusting all settings before and after. Nothing is working. When inserting the windows installer usb that worked just a couple days ago, still nothing. Would it help if I wiped the new nvme I’ve been trying to set up (at multiple points seemed like I had successfully set up). I’m genuinely at a complete loss here. Please help me. If I do a secure erase of windows and everything on the drive will that potentially allow me to reinstall windows or will it make my problem worse12Views0likes0Comments
