How do you fix a blue death screen for a windows 11 pc?
Hi everyone, My PC recently got stuck on a blue screen and won't boot into Windows normally. It shows the error screen for a few seconds and then either restarts or just stays there. This started happening after a recent update, and now I can't access my desktop at all. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm not sure what caused this or how to fix a blue death screen for pc without losing my files. I’ve tried restarting several times, but it didn't help. I'm worried this might be a serious issue like a system crash or hardware problem. My device is a Dell All-in-one desktop PC running Windows 11.
UNKNOWN PROGRAM/APP FROM WINDOWS/MICROSOFT
About a week ago I discovered a new app/program on my computer and have never seen it before (see picture). It was installed on 20.05.25 and it was the same day I reinstalled Windows 11 home. Everything was then completely deleted so that I had clean hard drives and cleaned them afterwards with Revo uninstaller. 20.05.25 and the next few days only Windows 11+upgrades to Windows were installed. This app/program was not there then and only appeared about a week ago, when I saw it for the first time. I think it was after one of the upgrades for Windows. The strange thing about this app/program is that it has no "size". It only says 3 dots there and therefore I can't find out where it is. It can't be uninstalled and it changes name every time I start the computer. Mostly Japanese letters/text. I have run Windows Defender both via Windows and at startup. Nothing is found. I have run Malwarebytes and Super antispyware in full scan. Can't find anything. From the date on the app/program, I see that it must be a Windows or Microsoft app. Only from those that were installed that day and the next few days. The computer is not used very often, as it is a work machine where I mainly just write articles and do genealogy research. So not much with programs on it. Mainly Office 365, upgraded drivers, Google Chrome, Legacy, which is a genealogy program, and some tools that came with the purchase of the computer. Everything is upgraded to the latest. Wondering if this could be a Windows program/app that Windows has removed and that was not completely uninstalled? I have another computer and a laptop. Neither of them have this. So wondering if anyone else has experienced this and possibly knows what causes it and how it can be removed?
problem with a black screen will pop up saying Windows Updating Do Not Shut Down....
I have an Acer Aspire 5 laptop running Windows 11 and once in a while a black screen will pop up saying Windows Updating Do Not Shut Down.... I did not start a Windows Update and I have gotten some emails/texts from some of my accounts saying they have declined some suspicious purchases of gift cards online, also some of my contacts have gotten an email from me that I did not send about and invitation from me. I have changed my passwords and the black screen still appeared again. Any idea what has happened and how to fix/block it? Thanks in advance, Mike
Windows 11 Explorer Issues Are Seriously Making Power Users Consider Linux
Hello Microsoft, I would genuinely like to understand how a company with Microsoft’s engineering resources managed to break one of the most fundamental components of an operating system — File Explorer — and ship it as an “improvement”. This is not a low-end machine, and please do not default to the usual “unstable hardware” explanation. The system is running an i9-13900K with 80 GB of RAM and is fully stable under heavy workloads, stress tests, and professional applications. Yet File Explorer freezes while deleting files smaller than this message itself. Copy operations hang. Deletions hang. Sometimes simply opening a folder introduces visible delays. When basic file operations fail on proven high-end and stable hardware, this is not a performance limitation — it is a software design and quality problem. Additionally, a long-standing and extremely basic workflow has been broken: clicking the middle mouse button (mouse wheel click / MButton 3), which for years opened folders in new Explorer windows, no longer works. A behavior relied upon for decades has simply disappeared without explanation or replacement. In exchange, users received tabbed Explorer — a feature that appears to have been implemented at the cost of responsiveness, stability, and predictable behavior. The new Explorer feels like an experimental UI layer forced onto users rather than a mature, production-ready system component. It increasingly feels as if Windows is no longer engineered as a reliable working environment but instead assembled from layered UI experiments placed on top of legacy code, resulting in a slower and less stable experience with every update. The most frustrating part is the lack of choice. Users are not allowed to keep a stable workflow. Updates impose major behavioral changes with no official option to retain the classic, fast Explorer experience. Therefore, this is a direct request: ***Please provide an official Windows 11 build option without the tabbed File Explorer — a version using the classic, fast, and stable Explorer implementation without the modern WinUI-based interface layer.*** An operating system should not struggle with basic file operations on high-end hardware. Stability and performance must take priority over visual redesign experiments. Windows used to be valued for reliability and backward compatibility. Right now, updates feel less like improvements and more like forced participation in ongoing UI experimentation. Users need a dependable tool — not an evolving interface experiment.How to Install or Uninstall RSAT in Windows 11
