Taskbar thumbnails stop showing previews and just display blank squares
When I hover over taskbar icons, the preview thumbnails show up as blank squares instead of live previews of the windows. It happens randomly—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't—and restarting Explorer only fixes it for a few minutes. I've already disabled and re-enabled thumbnail previews, cleared the thumbnail cache, and checked for updates. Nothing stuck. Anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?Windows Stopped updating and failed to install updates
Windows Update stopped updating after i restarted the pc apparently during a update. there was an icon when i was preventing me from turning off the pc but it hadn't had an clear icon and text on it so i assumed it was nko big deal bur from that day windows refuses to update and it keeps failing updates to " try again" (opnieuw proberen) and insist i download and install "windows 11 25h2 (restore)" file but even when i want to try installing it and its set for a restart. even then the restore fails and says "try again" i think my only option is to "upgrade" the same windows again to keep my files right? or is there still another option or a tool that can fix the system or update files? because i also have tried DISM restore health option and i even let it check with an windows restore usb stick with the windows ISO on it and check it with the install.swm file and that resulted in a "no problems found" also the windows update troubleshooter diagnostic failed to run any idea how i can still fix this without reinstalling windows ?
There is a problem with File History; a protest is lodged.
Your Microsoft technical team has repeatedly corrupted file history. Since the July 28th/August 13th updates KB5101684/KB5120249, my file history has reappeared. Backups to the D drive are successful, but the backup times cannot be synchronized. Newly created or saved Word documents, images, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Properties → Previous Versions". The folder is not being corrected; its date is automatically changed. Until Wednesday's updates KB5124008, KB5126052, KB5126146, KB5122878, and KB890830, the file history was corrupted and disabled, resulting in an "InconsistentState" entry in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration. Why did Microsoft disable it? Everyone is using it, and I'm extremely angry. Many users have reported encountering this issue on various forums. Microsoft, stop deceiving us! I demand that Microsoft review this matter immediately and release an emergency update as soon as possible to restore the file history to its original state. The five updates installed are:KB5122878,KB5126146,KB5124008,KB5126052,KB890830 Anyone else experiencing the same issue as me can report it to the media and have Microsoft confirm the error. Furthermore, "File History" itself is not listed in Microsoft's "Deprecated Features List." While other backup features suggest that Microsoft has no plans to discontinue it. Microsoft is going to pretend it doesn't exist.Is it safe to delete this file in Windows 11?
I’ve seen a few videos claiming that deleting certain files from a specific folder can improve my computer’s performance, but to be honest, I’m too scared to try it. I’m not really sure what those files actually do, and the last thing I want is to mess up something important. I’m using a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ITL6—nothing special, just a regular laptop. Can anyone explain whether it’s actually safe to delete files from that folder, or is this just one of those risky tips circulating online? I’d much rather keep my system stable than chase after a negligible speed boost, but if it really is harmless, I’d like to know more about it.
Windows 11 home internet not working after update
I just updated with my windows 11 home with the latest patches today. After restart, my internet is not working anymore. I have tried restarting few times, restarting the router, flushing dns, Ip release, IP renew etc. Nothing worked. Did a full network reset. That failed too. As a last resort as suggested by Google AI, I manually set my DNS to a fixed IP, then only it worked. So after updating my Win 11 today, my automatic dhcp totatlly stopped working. Has this happened to anyone else ? Any guess why this would have happened and how I can get my automatic DNS back to working state ? WIFI is working on every other device conntected like phone, TV, Alexa...etc. Thanks.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable rolling back or getting corrupted after every Windows Update.
Hello! So I'm having an issue where multiple users would create a ticket stating they can't access AutoCAD, InDesign, and even sometimes even File Explorer. Now this part is an easy fix, just uninstall/reinstall or repair the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and the issue is fixed. The problem I'm having is that a few days later, the same users would create another ticket with the same issue. I've been going back and forth uninstalling/reinstalling, when a user (that was having this issue before, and I had fixed) brought up that they were able to access AutoCAD fine, until they did a Windows Update and rebooted. Sure enough, I remoted into their PC and their Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable wasn't updated to the v14. I first contacted AutoCAD and they did some digging and stated the same thing, that the Visual C++ was being rollback. Then I contacted Microsoft and they had me go to Windows support which then they guided me here. So I'm presenting my question here now, anyone else had this issue, and is there a solution to this fix? Thanks!
Feedback on Windows 11
I've been a Windows customer since the beginning. I was doing computing back on the TSR-80, when we still saved information on audio tape. However, with the changes in the last few versions of Windows; I feel I can on longer use a Windows product. I've been using a Windows 11 system for several months now, and I've hated every time I had to use it. With the increase in non-optional "optional" and non-removable features; I've decided that it's time to move onto a Linux based system. Sincerely, a former Microsoft customer.
