Text rendering issue New Windows 11 Asus AIO
I just bought a new AIO for my partner to use. Our windows 10 machine was old and reliable but will be unsupported later this year. All is fine with the new machine except text rendering. It has a 27" inbuilt monitor and max resolution is 1920x1080 which should be fine for a monitor this size. In fact pictures and video are excellent. Text rendering though is noticeably fuzzy and blurry with Outlook classic being particularly bad. I've tried all sorts of variations of ClearType, I've checked for driver updates.
Microsoft Surface Pro 9 not charging via a USB-C 65W PD charger
I purchased this 65 W USB-C PD Charger to charge My Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and this worked till recently always fast charging my laptop. However, since the latest update, when smart charging was introduced, my 65W USB-C PD charger is no longer charging my Surface Pro 9.I have to hit the power button and restart the Surface Pro 9 for it to recognize that it is connected to a charger and start charging. Once I disconnect the PD charger and connect it again, the Surface Pro 9 no longer recognize the charger and doesn't charge. However, the original Surface Power Adapter always works and always charges my Microsoft Surface Pro 9. I believe this problem was introduced by smart charging and when I try to disable smart charging I am unable to do that as shown in the attached image. when I go to the surface app and then go to the battery and recharging section it says smart charging is already paused and the option to charge to 100% is completely disabled. How do I fix this?
Possible bug in WIN 24H2
If I have 3 File Explorer windows open and If I have a program maximized and I want to select a File Explorer window. I hover the mouse over This PC icon shortcut on my Taskbar it it shows the 3 File Explorer windows. If I move the mouse over to a file explorer window and click on it. it selects the window and now it's on top of the maximized program. So I can view the File Explorer and drag a file into the maximized program.WDAG - My problem child (crash and other issues)
I have an issue with Windows Defender Application Guard. When I attempt to open a new protected browser window in Edge, it shows a loading animation for a few seconds and then closes unexpectedly. I rarely use it, but I still would like it to work because I paid for the Windows license. The main reason I'm reaching out is because even if the feature is disabled or enabled, the FRST scan (I eyeball through those scan results like once a month, just to be sure everything is as it should) marks the "WDAGUtilityAccount" account with "<--- ATTENTION!". Additionally, I've observed that the "S-21-****" number varies in different locations; the last few digits differ on what I found in the registry and in the filesystem. This inconsistency doesn't seem normal to me. Can anyone advise on how to resolve this issue? Thank you. What I have tried: dism restorehealth and sfc scannow. chkdsk on all drives. Remove all features related to WDAG, boot, Enable them again. (containers, hyper-v, etc.) Some powershell re-registering attempts and other guides which I found on other help forums. Help that AI offered, which caused more problems, and I rolled back.
Assuming it can de done, should I upgrade to Windows 11?
Hello. I currently have a Dell XPS 8700 (bought in 2014). 1.82 TB of storage. 4 GB graphics card. Intent i7-4790 CPU @3.60GHz. 16.0 GB RAM. running Windows 10 Home 64-bit OS, x64-based processor. I used PC Health Check and it said my PC doesn't meet Windows 11 system requirements because: (1) TPM 2.0 must be supported; and (2) my processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11. Despite those obstacles, some people are saying that I should upgrade. They recommend downloading Windows 11 and mounting it or installing it from a flash drive. Assuming TPM 2.0 could be activated, would it be possible to install Windows 11 on this machine? Would that make sense from a technical standpoint? In other words, would there by some benefit to doing it? An alternative is leaving the computer as it is. It still runs fine for the most part. But my concern is that when Windows ends support for Windows 10, I won't be able to get critical updates. What do you think I should do? (Yes, I'm considering a new computer altogether, but that's a separate issue.)
Chkdsk hanging?
Not sure where this goes but it's happening on my Windows 11 computer. I'm running Chkdsk on an external drive and it gets to, Stage 2: Correcting error in index $I30 for file 27, then it appears to stop. I tried running it in what I think is called the windows environment, but the drive is not even recognized there. I let it run overnight and it's still the same. It could be because the drive is over 18 TB but how can you tell? Nothing is apparent that you say something is happening. There's just a blinking cursor and that's it.Can't Get Windows 11 Computers To Network
I have two HP Pro Tower G9 computers that are pretty much identical. They have 12th Gen Intel Core 13-12100 processors running at 3.3 GHz, both have 32 Gb memory. They are both running Windows 11 Pro OS build 26100.3476. Something else they have in common: They do not want to communicate over the network! The icons for the respective computers on on each other's displays, but when I click on the icon, I get a message that the network path was not found. I have turned off firewalls and antivirus programs on both machines, have made sure SMBv1 is enabled on both, set sharing protocols to the hard drives on both machines, but still can't get past the network path was not found issue. At this point, I really don't care if they cannot find the other computers on the network, but I would like to get these two on speaking terms with each other. I have to take care of some other things, so I'm going to have to sign off. I will check back in the morning. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
