Windows no longer starts following an update
I have a dual boot PC with Ubuntu and W11, it's an HP Elitebook 850 G3 at startup, W10 launches, and if I want to start Ubuntu, I go through the BIOS and I select UEFI-Ubuntu and I arrive at the GRUB menu (I didn't take the time to make it cleaner) here's what's happened to me since September 5: - at startup, Windows starts and launches an update, I restart to use Ubuntu, the Grub menu is not displayed and I get the message “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation” then the PC turns off Since the BIOS, I no longer have the input for W11, so nothing I can access a Windows repair menu, but nothing workedHow to screenshot on HP laptop for Windows 11?
I am using an HP laptop with Windows 11 and I am unsure about the best way to take a screenshot. I want to capture my screen quickly and easily, but I am not familiar with the specific methods or tools available on Windows 11 for HP laptops to do so. Whether it’s using a keyboard shortcut, the Snipping Tool, or any other built-in feature, I need clear instructions on how to take a screenshot on my device. I would appreciate a simple step-by-step explanation that can help me capture images of my screen for sharing or saving. Additionally, if there are any tips or shortcuts specific to HP laptops that can make the process faster, I would like to know about them. My main goal is to learn how to take screenshots efficiently on my HP laptop running Windows 11 without having to search through complicated settings or third-party applications.Avast posts on my Windows 11 computer
Hello, to protect my PC I use the default protection of Windows (Windows Defender) and Avast (for around 15 years). For 2 to 3 years Avast has been increasingly intrusive with messages such as: "your banking data may be exposed, "your connection is not encrypted" etc..., messages with the aim of obviously switching to a paid version. However, I was wondering if these 2 protections are sufficient? what if a VPN could protect my PC even more effectively? (I should point out that I have a VPN but that I do not use it when connecting). Thank you in advance for your answers

Native software to allow android biometrics to unlock windows 11?
Is there ever going to be software from microsoft(for security reasons) to allow you to use a remote android computer tablet or similar to activate windows with biometrics? I have a Tab S11 ultra I want to use to unlock it for playing steam games. Will this ever be a thing. I think one of the problems with steam is it needs to be active to work via steam link. But this works if coming out of sleep mode specifically. But anything to allow this or for a seperate app to wake and remotely use the desktop would be wonderfully useful. Especially something official that is secure. I'm coming from linux and I don't use 3rd party software in general. Obviously it would be insanely insecure to use any such software that is not official. Could such software allowing a tablet to be used with other software to be a remote screen be used to not even need steamlink to play games. Unless the steamlink is better with the connection lag somehow.Error 0xc1900101 in Win11 Update
Hello, I'm trying (desperately ) install Windows 11 from Windows 10. On each attempt I get a blue screen (around 75-77%) with the error code 0xc1900101. my PC is Windows 11 compatible (update offered in Windows Update, secure boot activated) Motherboard: MSI X470 gaming Plus Processor: Ryzen 5 3600X Crucial M2 1Go SSD (90Go free) 16GB DDR4 I tried: 1) Driver update (checked in 2 different software) BIOS flashed /Processor /Motherboard /Graphics card /SSD OK 2) Disconnect external devices 3) Launch from a clean boot by deactivating all services at startup (excluding Microsoft) 3) Reset Windows Update components 4) Use Windows Update Repair Program 5) Repair system files with sfc/scannow and dism /online/cleanup-image /restorehealth 6) Use Windows Setup Wizard instead of Windows Update If anyone has another idea, I thank them in advance...
Why is my command not working?
I wanted to upgrade my OS to a 64-bit from a 32-bit processor. I was following the guide for that here, but when I wanted to make sure my PCU was compatible on step 6, the coreinfo command wouldn't work. It kept saying that it was unable to extract the x64 image and to run coreinfo from a writeable directory, but I don't understand.Windows 11 has got to be the worst Operating System I've ever used in my life
I've never ever been this disappointed in a software product as much as I am disappointed with Windows 11. I've always held onto the current WIN for as long as I could, and last month I bit the bullet and thought I'd give WIN11 a go, and I'm regeretting it ever since. It's not even, "omg this is new, I don't know how to use it" type of frustration - no, the OS is a complete mess, it's unstable, messy, unprofessional, and the entire thing felt fake and dysfunctional on so many levels. It really makes my blood boil. When I drag the volume all the way down in the sound mixer, it doesn't mute the app, I have to click on the app icon itself When I select a lot of files, and I click in that little small gap in-between each file, it deselects all of them When I have a lot of windows open and I would hover over them to select one, it rarely catches it from the first try. I'd click the window I want to use and it never selects it If I have a file path selected in a window, I click away, and I click back again on that window, I get the drop down list of paths that lead to that path and I end up clicking on a completely different path that would take me out of the window I selected When I click on and out of a folder, it updates in the Quick Access bar and in doing so, it glitches the entire UI across all windows open I could go on and on and on, this has got to be the worst product I've ever used. I have a couple big projects I'm finishing now, but after I'm done, I'm going back to Windows 10, and I'd stay with that until it gets hacked by Anonymous or something. My lord what a joke of a product.Displaying the duration of a video file in Win Explorer SOLVED
In Windows 11 Explorer Video files (AVI, MP4..) do not mention the video duration. To obtain this information, you must modify the display (menu/display/details/others/duration), but this manipulation must be carried out for each folder. Can we get, in Windows, systematic display of duration for all video files?Hello authentication in apps always defaults to fingerprint
I have fingerprint, face and PIN Windows Hello authentication options set up. When logging in to Windows, Windows helpfully attempts to use facial recognition whilst at the same time activating the fingerprint sensor. This allows me to use either option to login (or revert back to PIN in case both fail). However once logged in, some of my apps (such as password managers, browsers etc) also use Hello authentication. However, in these cases the Hello prompt seems to always immediately default to fingerprint, without attempting facial recognition. This includes when the laptop is in Tablet Mode, when fingerprint sensor is physically inaccessible. In all cases, to use facial recognition I have to click through the "more choices" menu in the dialog, which is a lot of extra clicks and defeats the purpose of facial recognition being relatively quick and straightforward. Alternatively I can disable fingerprint entirely in settings. This forces Hello to attempt facial before reverting to PIN, but this is obviously not ideal as it leaves me without fingerprint login available across Windows. Is there a setting or fix that makes Hello authentication for apps behave the same way as it helpfully does at the login screen, ie not default to fingerprint each time?
