My computer is running slow in windows 11. How to fix this?
Hi everyone, my Windows 11 computer has become really slow lately and not sure why. It takes a long time to start up, apps feel laggy, and even simple tasks don't feel smooth anymore. I didn't change anything big, so I’m a bit confused. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm hoping there are some easy things I can check or try first. Maybe it's related to storage space, background apps, or Windows settings, but I honestly don't know where to start in order to fix my computer is running slow. If anyone has beginner-friendly tips to speed up Windows 11 or common causes of slow performance, really appreciate the help.
Recent print driver updates for Windows 11
My two Intel based PC's and one Windows on Arm based laptop, received driver updates for a HP Laserjet M478f printer. It works OK but the driver does not detect that the printer can do duplex printing. I had to switch the Intel based devices back to HP's original driver from 2022. I can't do that for the Arm based laptop, because there isn't a driver from HP for that. I can only use the Microsoft one that now lacks duplex printing. I was fine before the driver change a few days ago. MS, please update the driver. Meanwhile, I cannot do duplex printing on the Arm based device. How do I roll back the older driver. I couldn't find a driver in device manager for the printer. Any ideas? Thanks.
Windows 11 Activation Screen Frozen, All Buttons Unresponsive - What Should I Do?
Hello, tech experts. I'm encountering an issue while trying to activate Windows 11: the activation screen is completely frozen, and none of the buttons on the screen can be clicked or respond to any actions. In this situation, how can I force-quit or proceed with completing the activation? Are there any command-line methods or other approaches to bypass the interface and finish the activation? Thank you!Windows 11 only recognizes 32GB of RAM (48GB actually installed).
The computer has 48GB of physical RAM installed, but Windows 11 only recognizes 32GB as available. The device frequently experiences blue screen crashes, and it is suspected that the memory recognition issue may be one of the causes of the blue screens. Please provide methods to troubleshoot the incomplete memory recognition and resolve the blue screen problem.Why Does the On-Screen Keyboard Icon and Interface in Windows 11 Still Retain the Old Design?
In Windows 11, the built-in on-screen keyboard icon and its overall interface design have not undergone significant visual updates or changes compared to Windows 10. I would like to understand the reasons behind this design consistency and whether there are plans or methods to align it with the modern design language of Windows 11.
Bluetooth driver disappears after every restart/sleep on Windows 11
Dear Support Team, I am writing this complaint out of sheer frustration after enduring a critical Bluetooth driver issue on my Windows 11 laptop for an unreasonably long time. Every single time I restart my system or wake it up from sleep, the Bluetooth driver completely disappears from the system. It is not just disabled — it is gone. Bluetooth vanishes from Device Manager, settings, and system controls as if the hardware itself never existed. The only way to restore Bluetooth functionality is to reinstall the driver manually every time. This issue occurs: After every restart After waking the system from sleep Randomly during normal usage The frequency is so high that I have been forced to keep a Bluetooth driver installer shortcut permanently on my desktop — something that feels absolutely absurd for a modern operating system in 2025. Let me be very clear: This is not a user error This is not a one-off bug This is not acceptable behaviour for a premium Windows device I have tried: Reinstalling drivers multiple times Using official OEM drivers Updating Windows fully Disabling power management options Troubleshooting through Device Manager Running system diagnostics None of these provides a permanent fix. The core issue is painfully obvious: Windows 11 (or its driver/power management stack) is failing to reliably retain or initialise the Bluetooth driver across restarts and sleep cycles. This is a basic OS-level responsibility. As a long-time Windows user, I find it shocking that in a system where I spent a considerable amount, I am dealing with an issue that feels more appropriate for an unstable experimental build, not a consumer-ready operating system. To be completely honest, this experience has pushed me to the point where I am seriously considering abandoning Windows altogether and switching to macOS, despite having used Windows on my personal machines for years. The idea of paying that amount again just to escape such basic reliability problems is becoming more appealing than continuing to fight my own laptop daily. This is not just a “bug report” — this is a usability failure that affects: Work productivity Meetings Audio devices Input devices Everyday usability I expect: A clear acknowledgement of the issue A concrete explanation of why this happens A permanent fix, not temporary workarounds Or an official statement admitting the limitation I am documenting this issue publicly and will be sharing it across relevant forums and feedback channels unless a meaningful resolution is provided. Windows users should not have to reinstall core drivers every day to use basic hardware features. I look forward to a serious response. Sincerely, A very frustrated but still hopeful Windows user

Hi there Since installing the Windows 11 1/2026 update, my PC has been using an excessive amount of ram. My Desktop has 32 Gigs of ram and while sitting idle, just looking at the desktop without having anything running and only some programs running in the background, the ram usage is about 25 gigs constant. Before the update the average usage while using my PC was around 15 to 20 gigs and that's while actively using it and having multiple programs running, including heavier things like CAD and stuff. Tried rolling back the update by booting into the recovery menu and uninstalling the update, but it didn't help. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
