Repeated prompt "Some information has changed" when reconnecting to mobile hotspot
Problem Description When attempting to reconnect Windows 11 to a personal mobile hotspot, the connection frequently fails to connect automatically. Instead, Windows displays the following prompt: "Some information has changed since the last time you connected. We need additional information to complete the connection." (自上次连接后，某些信息已更改。我们还需要一些信息才能完成连接。) The system forces re-entering the Wi-Fi security key every time, even though the SSID, password, and security type on the phone have not changed. Steps to Reproduce Turn on the personal mobile hotspot on the smartphone (WPA3-Personal). Connect the Windows PC to the hotspot, check "Connect", and verify successful connection. Disconnect or disable the mobile hotspot. Turn on the hotspot again later and try to reconnect from Windows. Windows fails the handshake and displays the "information has changed" prompt requiring manual password entry. Observations & Potential Causes Forgetting the network via `Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks` temporarily resolves the issue for one session, but it recurs on subsequent reconnections.

File History problems after installing KB5124008, KB5126052,KB5126146, KB5122878, and KB890830
This morning, I ran Windows Update on two Windows 10/11 computers, but the file history feature stopped working completely after the update. Previously, after updating KB5120249 and KB5101684, files could still be backed up to the D: drive normally. The "Last Backup" time in "File History" is not updating correctly. Newly created or saved Word documents, pictures, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Content → Previous Versions". No folders were corrected; their dates are automatically updated. After running Windows Update again today, the file history feature stopped working on both computers. The File History panel pops up but cannot be used, prompting for a hard drive connection. (The hard drive is connected and I've confirmed it can read and write.) resulting in an "InconsistentState" entry in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration. I'm very angry. If Microsoft doesn't address this, I'll keep complaining. If anyone else has encountered the same situation, please leave a comment below. You can also check Microsoft Q&A or the Microsoft Community Hub. The five updates installed are: September 8, 2026—KB5122878 (OS Builds 19045.7725 and 19044.7725) September 8, 2026-KB5126146 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 2026-09 Security Update (KB5124008) (26200.9445) 2026-09 .NET Framework Security Update (KB5126052) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.145 (KB890830) Deleting the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory folder also failed. 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. These worked normally before the update but stopped working afterward. This is to inform other users experiencing the same problem.
Windows 11 Insider 26220.9587 keeps reinstalling
Hi, I need some help with Windows 11 Insider Beta. I'm currently on Windows 11 Home Insider Preview build 26220.9587. The build installed successfully, but Windows Update keeps offering the same 26220.9587 feature update again and later attempts fail with error 0x80246019. I also have the “Evaluation copy” watermark even though Windows is permanently activated. I have enabled the option to unenroll my device from Insider builds. My goal is to return to stable Windows 11 without resetting the PC, deleting my applications/files, or doing a clean installation. What is the safest supported way to do this?
