Missing Folders After Windows11 Update
Hello, I use a 1tb SSD for my operating system, and a separate 2tb SSD for my video storage (D drive). After the latest Windows11 update - 2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584), most of the folders are missing from my "D" Drive! - hundreds of hours of videos! The strange thing is that it only deleted select folders, unfortunately those with the highest value content (I have night vision/thermal cameras that operate through sophisticated tracking software to catalog known/unknown objects in the night sky). Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone recommend a recovery software to try and recover these file? I have kept this computer off and have not used any software since this occurred last Friday. Thank you.After updating to Windows 11 23H2, games are experiencing key conflicts?
After installing the cumulative update for 23H2 following August 2025, key conflicts occur in games like Dragon Nest: Simultaneously pressing W and numeric keys (3/4/5, etc.) erroneously triggers the Q key. The hardware issue has been ruled out by replacing the keyboard. Seeking a software-level solution.
Can't extend the screen timeout on Windows 11? It always turns off after 3 minutes.
The system screen timeout is set to 15 minutes, but the screen still turns off after only 3 minutes. I have tried adjusting all relevant options in the power plan settings (including timeouts in advanced settings and hardware-related parameters), but none have worked. I am seeking a permanent solution.Windows update using insecure and random IPs

I have disabled delivery optimisation, but this is still happening. I cannot post a relevant URL as the post keeps being removed.
Windows 11 secondhand laptop displays unfamiliar account name
Hello everyone, I purchased a used laptop and when attempting to change the login method from password to PIN, the system displayed an unfamiliar account name: DESKTOP-JUBIASH. Even after performing a factory reset, this name persists. Does this mean someone else could still access the device? How can I completely remove any potential permissions?Is the security system of Windows 11 and ntoskrnl functioning normally in Task Manager?
There is a Secure System process in Task Manager. When I click on it, it shows ntoskrnl, and it is classified as WINDOWS in all capital letters (others are usually in lowercase). Is this normal? I don't know if I'm overthinking it.
