Keyboard Buttons working whenever they want
Hello, I have an ASUS K571GT and I've noticed in the past 2 months, certain keyboard buttons are working whenever they want. Pushing the 1 button: Tapping it once will either produce nothing, or 111 in a row. Shift 1 doesn't produce a ! anymore. Pushing the q button: Will produce 5 qqqqq in a row. Shift q doesn't produce a capital q. Similar to Pushing the 1 button, If I tapped the q button 7 times, it will makes 33 q's in a row. Pushing the Tab button: Does the same thing. Tap it once and its as if I hit the tab button 3-5 times. I popped up the 3 buttons, cleaned them, air dusted there to take out any debris. I pushed the buttons and it all worked, perfect! Popped them all back on. Worked for 5min before they stopped working. Holding down the right shift button wouldn't produce a capital Q, but holding down the left one can? And then that stopped working too. Anybody know what's wrong? Or have any solutions?Best way to capture screenshot on Windows 11 PC?

Google Pixel Pro 9 with a digital password and pattern. It is a backup phone so I use it less frequently as the daily Samsung S26 Ultra. The problem is that I completely forgot the password and the pattern. Now, the phone is locked due to too many failed attempts. How to unlock your phone if you forgot the password or pattern? This seems a tricky issue here as the phone could be factory reset and the data would be deleted. Is this correct? Or any safe way available without losing data?
Windows 11 25H2 Build 9457 lockscreen not changing picture
Hello to all, so, we have three laptops that have Windows 11 25H2 Build 9457, two of these have Enterprise whilst the third one has the Pro version installed, one of the Enterprise laptops is my work laptop, the other one I use for testing image installations etc and is freshly installed with this build. The Pro version is my personal laptop and has also been freshly installed. Ever since having the latest build installed on all three of these laptops, the lockscreen picture does not work, all three remain on the default blue bloom one. I have tried changing from spotlight to picture, restart, then switch to spotlight again with no success. I have deleted the contents of the Assets folder located under this folder MicrosoftWindowsContentDeliveryManagercw5n1h2txyewy , and also the settings folder, rebooted and had no success. I also tried the powershell script that registers the content delivery manager and had no success either I ran a dism check health and all three have no corruption detected, the same after running an sfc scannow. All this on three of these laptops. Then i decided to log on to the local Admin account of my work laptop and after a couple of minutes i locked the screen and the lockscreen picture changed I said to myself so it is working now, i signed out logged in with my domain account and the lockscreen defaulted back to the blue bloom picture. The same happened with the test laptop, i use a test domain user account for this, when i change to a local account the lockscreen picture changes, when i go back to a domain account it defaults to the blue picture. Also happens with my personal laptop where i use a microsoft account to log in. I am literally out of ideas what is causing this because using a local account makes the lockscreen spotlight work, when using a domain or Microsoft account it seems to break it. Thank you for any help.
The left-side taskbar in Windows 11 offers an excellent experience in a multi-monitor setup
I’ve always been used to having the taskbar at the bottom, but recently I saw someone on Reddit using a left-side taskbar layout, so I gave it a try. It turned out to be surprisingly good on a dual-monitor setup—not only is it more efficient, but it also looks more balanced. Best of all, many apps look more natural with the taskbar on the left; for example, Discord’s left-side menu pairs very well with the taskbar.
