Permanently disable Asus service on Windows
I want to permanentlydisable the "Asus Optimization" service on my Windows 11 but after disabling this service, it automatically starts after some time. The same thing happens with windows update service as well. How do I prevent the service from starting automatically?
Help! When clicking "Sign In" on computer profile bounces me right back to the lockscreen.
Hello! (I'll be referring to the page where you see your time and date after booting up your computer as the Lockscreen, since I don't really know the official term for it.) Posting this for a friend who has very little Windows knowledge and isvery dyslexic. Said friend just got a new PC, and we set it up yesterday. We got some of his apps installed, blah blah blah, you probably know the drill. Restarts/logins had worked fine an hour prior. However, after going to log back in after a restart, we were greeted with an issue that would torment us the rest of the night. Upon clicking the "Sign In" button, we were just bounced right back to the lockscreen. So far we have tried -Booting in safe mode -Booting in safe mode with the network thing disabled -Normal restarts Something possibly noteworthy: in the recovery menu, clicking on troubleshooting just brought me to the advanced options. No options for a reset. Another possibly noteworthy thing is that when he tried to sign in using safe mode, the Sign In button flat out just did nothing. No booting to the lockscreen, nothing. I'll try to get a video later today, but no promises. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, ~Caleb
Is My PC Hacked?
When I go to restart my PC, I get a blue window (not bsod) indicating that 2 apps are restarting. It gives two buttons below that are "Restart anyway" and "Cancel" Above that, it lists two apps. The one looks like an "Explorer" session with the folder-spec D:\audio\Documentation The one that concerns me leads me to believe it is a virus. The name of the app is "t". I try to go in and search for the process "t", but cannot find it in Task Viewer. I could not find a "T.exe" on my hard disk. The only thing that comes close is the app "Telegram.exe" . But nonetheless, the screen displays "t" with no file extension listed as one of the two apps still open when trying to close. I have tried using "Process Explorer" to look for this anomaly, but cannot find anything. I am really worried that my system is infected somehow. I am using BitDefender as my A/V and feel pretty comfortable with it. I have also searched my system with MalwareBytes and both scans have come up clean. I welcome any help that can be offered. Of course, I could just re-install and I am OK with that. I would just like to know what this app "t" is. TY, Vince CarusoHow to extract a rar file without password on a Windows 11 PC?
Hello everyone, I'm facing a challenge and could use some advice from this community. I have a password protected RAR file that I need to access, but unfortunately, I don't have the password for it. I'm currently using Windows 11, and I'm wondering if there's any way to extract the contents of this RAR file without the password. If anyone has experience with this kind of situation or knows any legitimate ways to extract RAR files without a password on Windows 11, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Save the date: Windows Office Hours - November 21, 2024

I'm looking for recommendations for the best software to convert EPUB files to AZW3 format. I have a collection of EPUB eBooks and need to transfer them to my Kindle device, which requires the AZW3 format for optimal compatibility. While I have come across a few converters, I'm unsure which one offers the best reliability and quality. I'm particularly interested in features like ease of use, batch conversion capabilities, and maintaining the original formatting of the eBooks during the conversion process. If anyone has experience with specific tools or software that excel in this area, I would be honored to receive your advice. Thank you!Windows 11 now available for everyone?
I'm curious about the availability of Windows 11. I've heard mixed messages about its official release, and I'm eager to know if it's now accessible for everyone. I've been holding off on upgrading my current system, and I want to be sure that I can download and install Windows 11 without any issues. Are there specific requirements I should be aware of, and how can I check if my device is eligible for this upgrade?
