installing Windows while keeping all your files and apps intact
I have been facing an issue in Windows OS that my major apps are crashing, and windows is not all responding normally. I an in insider preview build of Windows and this has been happening since yesterday after I installed the latest Insider Preview Build. Now when I decided to go back to previous version I was not able to and decided to install normal windows 11 ( public release ) and disengage from insider program but after installing the ISO file and running with all apps and files to be intact after a while the blue screen came to install windows , after which it logged me back to my home screen stating that their was some error installing windows 11 So if any of the moderators could help me with this ASAP
Windows Update fails with “Something went wrong – Undoing changes” unless installed via ISO
Hi everyone, I'm facing a strange issue with Windows Update on my laptop and I wanted to know if anyone else experienced something similar. Problem: When I install updates through Windows Update, the update downloads normally and during restart it goes up to 100%, but then I get the message: Something went wrong. Undoing changes. After that, Windows rolls back the update. Observation: Interestingly, updates that start directly from the “You're there” stage sometimes install correctly. Policy change I made: Previously Windows would automatically download and install updates and frequently ask for restarts. Because of that behavior, I changed the policy to manual download and install so updates would not start installing automatically. Thermal precaution I tried: Since my laptop has a faulty CPU fan, I also limited the maximum CPU state to 99% in Power Options to prevent aggressive turbo boosting and reduce potential thermal throttling during the update process. Another important observation: If I install the same update using a Windows ISO (in-place upgrade / repair install), the update installs successfully and does not fail at 100%. Possible hardware issue: My laptop currently has: A broken battery A faulty CPU fan So I'm wondering if the update process might be failing due to power or thermal issues during the installation phase. System info: OS: Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Channel: Release Preview Current build: 26200.7840 Update that fails: KB5077241 (Build 26200.7922) Questions: Can hardware issues like a damaged battery or faulty CPU fan cause Windows Update installation failures? Why would updates succeed when installing from an ISO but fail through Windows Update? Which logs should I check to identify the exact cause? (CBS.log, WindowsUpdate.log, etc.) Any suggestions, troubleshooting steps, or similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
Disable incessant nagware popups
I don't know about everyone else, but I am sick and tired of the nagware pop ups in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc. Every single product harasses me with pop ups trying to tell me "hey, did you know this feature was here?", "you can do this if you click that", "let me hold your hand through using products you've used for decades even though you don't want daddy Microslop to do that". This is a prime example. I keep getting the same ones again and again and again and everything I've read indicates they should only appear once. But they don't. They keep coming back like a psychotic stalker ex who wants alimony even though you were never married. How do I get this nagware to stop?!Win11 Heavy sound stutter, don't know what else to do
I've been having this issue for about a week now without any success in solving it. I updated BIOS, CPU firmware, GPU driver (nvidia 595.79) and realtek audio driver with a file from their website, I also updated my WiFi adapter. Windows is up-to-date with no optional updates. I usually have several monitoring/device programms running like MSIAB/RTSS, razer synapse etc while listening to music through spotify and sometimes with discord open which has never been a problem in the last few years. https://teufel.de/concept-e-450-digital-51-set-104762000?srsltid=AfmBOorsYlrK9AyTv9PYuchRwzbmmRaxhVEHvE4QhKD_F6XhrzTIbSHU is my 5.1 surround sound system, discontinued but still working perfectly fine (you might have to translate the website). My power plan is set to ultimate performance, nvidia global setting is set to prefer maximum performance, cpu min/max set to 100%, no throttling in BIOS and I even created a power throttling key in RegEdit to disable it. I will add screenshots from LatencyMon and other stuff that might be useful. LatMon while under full LOAD with Prime95 LatMon while IDLE My network connections, I disabled my WiFi adapter days ago, NordLynx, OpenVPN is from NordVPN My device manager with my audio/sound and network devices, SteelSeries is from my rarely used headset My sound settings from my digital output, someone on reddit mentioned setting it to 96000 Hz stopped it for him, unfortunately not for me.
