Media Streaming on Windows 11
Hello! I'm trying to stream media from my Win11 PC to my Philips Android Smart TV, never had a problem with Win 10 It says "media streaming is turned off", so I click turn on "media Streaming" and I get a window saying "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or a service it depends on failed to start". If I try and manually start the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" I get a message saying "Windows could not start Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service on local computer", "Error 1068 a dependancy service or group failed to start." which is great but which service or goup it doesn't say. The latest version on Media Player is so different to the previous version, It doesn't show a picture library and there does seem to be way of turning streaming on from media player as there was in the past. So I am at a loss, I've asked Copilot, but none of the suggested solutions appear to work. Any ideas would be helpful, please?Vous avez besoin d'un convertisseur YouTube MP3 fiable et à jour ?
Salut la communauté ! Je galère à trouver un convertisseur youtube mp3 qui fonctionne vraiment en 2026.

This is a very weird issue. I bought an WD 2TB external hard drive and Windows 11 can't recognize this drive when connecting to the computer. It is a brand new drive and got from Amazon. So there should be no problem with the new hard drive. I am curious why Why my external hard drive is not showing up windows 11 file explorer. Is there any way to fix this? I need to backup the whole computer to this external hard drive. Regards, Fletcher
Robocopy wildcard ignores leading period
Hello, I came across this as I was making a custom procedure to sync our roaming folders (yes we still need them!), as this feature has been a bit shaky in W11. In the root of a user home, there's a few NTUSER-related files, NTUSER.DAT ntuser.dat.LOG1 ntuser.dat.LOG2 NTUSER.DAT{... and so on. Even though I think that it's best to leave all these files alone, while playing around with wildcards I noticed that it was impossible(?) to get /XF "ntuser.dat.*" to match only ntuser.dat.LOG1 and ntuser.dat.LOG2, it swallowed NTUSER.DAT as well. Only if I matched on /XF "ntuser.dat.L* did it leave NTUSER.DAT alone. Surely this is not intended behavior? Or does the dot have an undocumented function in relation to wildcards? Best regards Alexander
How do I record my screen on Windows 11 with sound
I've recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I'm encountering some difficulties with a task that I think many of you might have experience with. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to record my screen on Windows 11 with sound. While I've found the built-in screen recording tool in Windows 11 to be quite straightforward for capturing video, I'm struggling to include audio in my recordings. I've done some basic troubleshooting like checking my microphone and system sound settings, but I haven't had much luck so far. It's crucial for my work to create high-quality screen recordings that include both the screen activity and the accompanying audio, so any advice, tips, or recommendations from this community would be greatly appreciated.I am getting an error about the secure boot

What's the safest and best YouTube video downloader these days?
Alright, I know this topic comes up a lot, but the landscape seems to change constantly. I need to download a few lectures for offline study, but I'm wary of sketchy sites and hidden malware. What's the current community favorite for reliability and safety? I'm on a Windows 11 laptop, and I'd strongly prefer a simple, clean youtube video downloader tool without a bunch of bloat. Free is ideal, but I'll consider a trustworthy paid option if it's significantly better. What are you all using in 2026?
