Recent windows 11 25H2 update memory leak
My first time posting, I am unsure if this has been Acknowledged or what’s the fix but, after the recent updates for windows 11 25H2, I also needed to update drivers, intel drivers and Nvidia Drivers. I’m using an HP omen 16, 32GB of ram, Intel Ultra 7, Nvidia RTX5080. Normally idling uses about 20% ram, I opened Microsoft PC manager and it now was idling at 40% ram usage. After checking task manager, it was WMIproviderhost hogging the ram. Mainly SecurityHealthService in the events WMI log errors. I’ve tried running sc stop SecurityHealthService and responded access denied as admin. I’ve tried changing the folder to SecurityHealth_old to promote a refreshed new folder. Access was denied (system owns it) I have tried the repair app feature for windows security, then reboot. Still slowly ramping memory up. I then reset windows security and rebooted. Still doing it. I’ve verifyrepository and WMI repository came back consistent. delivery optimization has been turned off so it’s not that recent issue and AppX, but WMIproviderhost had been steady climbing upwards of 500mb of ram usage before restarting comp. Any ideas?SD card photo transfer on Windows 11 computer

People whose hardware is too old to update to Windows 11, What's your plan come October?
I'm currently running an i7-4770 paired with a GTX 970. As much as I would love to, replacing it with modern hardware would be financially irresponsible. Luckily I love to make life difficult for myself so I'm planning to remove windows and switch to Ubuntu (or mint). What is everyone else planning to do come October?
Windows 11 account issues: lock screen skipped, device not showing in Microsoft account
Hi everyone, I’m facing a few strange issues on Windows 11 that seem to be limited only to my main user profile, and I’m hoping to fix them without creating a new profile and migrating all my data. Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings: I see a sign-in-related issue & an error code 0x80860010. The lock screen is skipped when the PC starts. On power-on or restart, the lock screen flashes for a split second, and then Windows directly goes to the PIN entry screen. This happens only on my main user account. If I create a new local or Microsoft account, the lock screen works perfectly even after a restart or cold boot. My Windows PC does not appear under Devices on my Microsoft account page, even though the PC is signed in with my Microsoft account locally. I’ve already tried restarting, signing out and back into my Microsoft account, checking sign-in options, and testing Fast Startup on and off. Since everything works fine on newly created accounts, I believe my existing user profile or account state may be corrupted. I’m trying to avoid creating a new profile and manually migrating data if possible. Any guidance on repairing the current user profile, re-linking the device to my Microsoft account, or restoring normal lock screen behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. ~Gourav
