When you click the New Folder button on the File Explorer toolbar, a new folder may sometimes fail to create. In this case, no error message appears, and although the button appears to have been clicked, the folder is not created. This issue occurs only in certain folders and does not occur in others. Even if the toolbar button does not work properly, right-clicking and selecting New → Folder from the context menu always works.17Views0likes0CommentsWin11 Pinch-to-zoom in certain apps does not work after the system has been idle for several hours
After the system has been idle for several hours, the two-finger zoom gesture will not work in certain apps. After a restart, the gesture will function normally in these apps, but it will stop working once the system enters low-power mode. The touchscreen continues to respond normally to other gestures.12Views0likes0CommentsWindows11 Update downloads same update repeatedly after every restart
After downloading and installing a cumulative update, when you restart the system, the update reappears in Windows Update and is downloaded again. The update history shows that the update has been successfully installed multiple times. This issue recurs for the same update and cannot be resolved even after deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder or restarting the Windows Update service. This affects the update process and consumes bandwidth.82Views0likes1CommentWindows11 File Explorer search box does not search subfolders with "File contents" enabled
After enabling the File Contents option in File Explorer search settings, files located in deeper directories typically do not appear in search results when searching for folders that contain subfolders. Even if the Include subfolders option is not disabled, search results only display items in the top-level folder. Switching to a third-party search tool or manually enabling the search of system folders can temporarily resolve this issue.69Views0likes3CommentsWindows11 Closing a File Explorer window often causes the Start menu to briefly flicker
When you close any File Explorer window by clicking the X button or pressing Alt+F4, the Start menu flashes and then reappears. This occurs even when the Start menu does not have focus. This flashing does not affect system stability, but it can be distracting when you are frequently browsing files.16Views0likes0CommentsWin11 Find my device settings page fails to open with a blank screen
When I go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Find My Device, the page appears blank. The page fails to load any options or status information related to device location features. Closing and reopening Settings does not resolve the issue, and the problem persists even after restarting the computer. This issue occurs on my version of Windows 11 and prevents me from managing the location settings for lost or stolen devices.42Views0likes1CommentWhy does my computer turn on but show a black screen?
My computer powers on with all fans and lights running, but the monitor stays completely black with no boot screen or BIOS display. I have already checked cables and tried a different monitor, but the problem persists and I cannot access Windows at all.

When connecting to a wireless display via Miracast, the connection initially works fine but disconnects after 5 to 10 minutes of use. Before disconnecting, the screen freezes. The connection temporarily resumes after reconnecting, but the problem reoccurs. This issue occurs regardless of whether an Intel or AMD wireless adapter is used, even when the Wi-Fi signal is strong and no other devices are connected.96Views0likes3CommentsWin11 Cannot be Activated after Changing Motherboard
I have the product key of Windows 8 Pro (Not OEM). Then I upgraded it to Windows 11 when it is free. Yesterday, my computer was broken and I bought a new motherboard and CPU. However, now, it said that it needs to be activated. Then I contact the support. They have verified that my Windows 8 Pro key is correct and the license can be transferred to the other machine. However, they also don't know how to help me to activate. They asked me to post here to get more comprehensive support. Thanks in advance!

When dragging a file from a window that is partially obscured by another window, the cursor sometimes selects or highlights multiple unrelated files instead of the intended target file. This occurs more frequently when windows overlap slightly or when dragging on a high-DPI display. This behavior slows down file management and reduces precision.65Views0likes2Comments
