Corrupt system files everytime i run sfc/scannow
That's it, it's basically what the title says. I can run the command a dozen times, it stills manages to find corrupt files, and always corrects it, but when I run again, it still says it is corrupted. Idk what to do, I've already updated the system, did a fresh install from an USB stick with media creation tool and from the cloud option itself throught windows. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 11, RTX3060 Mobile, 16GB, 1TB SSD NVME and a I712700H.
Noise on startup
My computer has fairly recently started to make a lot of noise on startup. The noise comes from inside the tower. The computer is noisy for a few minutes and, then, the noise stops. This happens at most startups. Is this a cause for concern? Otherwise, the computer works fine. I tried to attach a recording of the noise, but this site wouldn’t let me..Default browser setting keeps reverting to Edge
I'm experiencing an issue where my default web browser keeps reverting back to Microsoft Edge despite setting a different browser as default. Every time I restart my computer or sometimes even after a short period, the default browser switches back to Edge without my permission, which disrupts my workflow and browsing preferences.Fully Automated Windows Factory Reset for Corporate Laptops
Hello, I am working on a corporate project where we need to allow employees to purchase company laptops. After purchase, the laptop must be fully reset to a “factory state,” removing all corporate data and files. I have tried several approaches: systemreset -factoryreset — but it always shows the GUI and prompts the user to choose whether to keep files or remove everything. Using a ResetConfig.xml — but without an OEM recovery image, it does not work. Applying install.wim via DISM — but after reboot, the system remains unchanged. My goal is to fully automate the factory reset without any user interaction, ideally in a corporate environment. I am considering using MDT, SCCM, or Intune. My questions: What is the best approach to fully automate Windows reset for corporate laptops? Are there best practices or official guides from Microsoft for this scenario? Has anyone successfully implemented fully automated factory reset in a corporate deployment?Old windows 7 laptop what should/could I do with it
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my old Windows 7 laptop. It still works but is slow and outdated, and I want to give it a new purpose or upgrade it somehow. Should I upgrade the hardware, switch to a lightweight Linux distribution, or repurpose it for specific tasks like a media center or a dedicated server? Any advice or suggestions on how to breathe new life into this old device would be greatly appreciated.Random 100% SSD usage spikes freeze computer for 15-30 seconds
I've been having an issue with my computer for the last couple of months where it randomly freezes (could be simply using Word or playing any game), I've been trying to find a solution but I've been unsuccesful. Whenever it happens, the task manager shows a 100% usage for the SSD without any real indication of what could be causing it: Debating on buying another SSD to see if that fixes it. Also, I found a post from 2016 with the same problem but I couldn't make Intel RST work on my PC
How do I stop Microsoft from installing LinkedIn on my pc?
I want to know how to prevent Microsoft from automatically installing LinkedIn on my PC. Every time I update Windows or install new features, LinkedIn keeps being added without my consent, and I would like to stop this from happening so I can maintain control over the applications on my system.
Can I restore a Macrium bacup to a PC with different CPU?
In a few weeks I'm going to replace my current mini PC with a new one. Both systems will have the same basic hardware configuration, except for the CPU chip. The current one has an N95 CPU, and the new one will have an i5. Will I be able to use a Macrium full image backup of my current system (Win11 Pro) to restore to the new system and have it work OK?
Clicking External Hard Drive
Recently i obtained a blank 10TB external hard drive and when i plugged it in it made a clicking sound. I thought there must be some way to fix it so i googled how to fix it and according to some websites and videos it was fixable by realigning the heads etc. I did not want to attempt this myself so i went to a local computer store and they said it was dead and nothing could be done. They did not even plug it in to try it. My wife said it was probably not worth there time and effort fixing it. So did I misunderstand the information i found online and it's not fixable or was the computer shop not helpful or not willing to help with this issue?
