Windows11 The New folder button in File Explorer sometimes does nothing when clicked
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.
Win11 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.Windows11 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.
Windows11 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.Windows11 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.
Why 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. The system appears to be running but shows no video output from startup.Win11 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.
wait i just found out you can open settings with a keyboard shortcut
Okay so I've been using Windows for like... years now? And I just accidentally pressed the Windows key and the letter I at the same time and settings popped up. I literally stared at my screen for a solid 5 seconds like "what just happened" Tried it again and yeah it works every time. Windows key + I = settings. I've been clicking the Start menu and scrolling down to the gear icon like a caveman this whole time and apparently there's been a shortcut the whole time???? I feel both smart and incredibly dumb right now. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else out there is still clicking through menus like me lol
Windows11 Drag-and-drop between stacked windows often selects multiple items accidentally
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.Win11 Wireless display connection drops after several minutes
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.
