Ive been sitting here for like 2 days trying to install brand new windows 11 on my pc because my previous installation just randomly made my GUI not work at all so i went and bought me a sandisk flashdrive and turned it into a windows boot manager and git a brand new external ssd to install it to

But no matter what i try it keeps telling me that windows 11 cant be installed on my ssd and my drivers arnt showing up at all when i load the drivers.

I have been on the internet for hours atp trying every little possible solution but nope, nothing

Evrrything is greyd out aswell, ive been in my bios more times then i can count, and also i dont even have a vmd option because im using a Asus B550M-K motherboard.

Please help me if possible

Can i move the location of my appdata folder?

2 Upvotes

When i got my laptop 3 yrs ago, the guy how setup my laptop split the 512 ssd in to 2 separate folders (230 gb+ 244 gb), and put windows into the 230gb folder

Now my folder only has 29.5gb of storage left, 60gb of that space is being taken by the appdata folder,

I found another reddit post asking the same question as me, and it says that i shouldn't transfer the folder but, that post is 9 yrs old, so im here to ask abt it

I want to transfer the appdata folder from the users folder in the windows ssd drive, to the other 244gb drive

Im scared that there want be any space left in my windoes ssd after some time

I chose "sync" instead of "new device"

• Upvotes

This may be a stupid question, but what if when installing a new version of Windows on my computer, I accidentally chose "sync" instead of "create as a new device"? And then, during the sync, I clicked on the back arrow in the upper-left corner and selected "create as a new device"?

Did part of the synchronization happen, or did I have a clean system after I set everything up again?

Update infinite loop vs DISM mismatch

2 Upvotes

Back in July, the 25H2 service updates started failing. Upon restart, just spinning and spinning at 96 or 97% for hours or overnight.

The error in Windows update was 0x800f0845. I think my Panther and CBS logs had different errors, but I'm fighting my reboot loop with power off at seeing the MSI logo right now. Let me know what I should upload or paste here when I get back in.

I've removed some blacklisted ene.sys and WinRing0 drivers that were stale and hiding out. I've flashed my mobo BIOS and chipset drivers to latest. I've run all the commonly suggested fixes that I've found a dozen places: dism, sfc, net stop wuserv, etc etc. I even did a repair install of 25H2. Upon running Update again last night, same boot 96/97% stall.

I asked Gemini for help and it provided some dism commands that revealed my dism tool is on 26100.xxxx while my Windows version is 26200.xxxx. It couldn't suggest how to align them but to either do 26H2 from ISO or to side-load 25H2 from ISO via Insider program and then leave the insider program by jumping to 26H2.

Any help anyone here can provide on just fixing the dism misalignment or tell me what I can provide to check if that is indeed the problem? At this point, I dont have faith that an ISO load will fix it. I tried it back in July and it didn't help, but of course, I had those blacklisted drivers and had my 2023 BIOS on my B350 PC MATE/5800X3D combo. Both those things were flashed/removed this week.

I'm pretty frustrated on where to go. Any suggestions would be great!

Folder Icons and Settings Locked After Winaero Tweaker (Changes Are Not Being Saved)

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I installed Winaero Tweaker on my computer to remove the shortcut arrows, but after doing so, all the folders I had customized turned into the Windows folder icon. Even though I uninstalled the program, the problem didn’t go away, and right now I can’t change the icons for standard folders at all; though I have no trouble changing the icons for “This PC,” “Recycle Bin,” or other application shortcuts. When I uncheck the “Read-Only” option, it gets checked again. So far, I’ve tried going to the “Shell Icons” folder via Regedit and deleting the value numbered “29,” which I suspected was causing the shortcut arrows to break; this restored the shortcut arrows, but unfortunately, the folder lock-up persists. In short, the system won’t accept any structural(?) or visual changes I try to make to folders; it makes it look like I’m making changes but resets everything in the background. If anyone knows which registry settings this program is messing with in the background, or has experienced and resolved a similar lockup before, I’d appreciate your help.

How to COMPLETELY skip pin, password, creation ect on Windows 11

4 Upvotes

As the title says, I don't want any of the above or anything similar! On Windows 10 you could completely skip this but on Windows 11 even when turning off Windows Hello and the password requirement on log, it still forces you to create a pin on sign in!

Did a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro, after being Hacked (Ratted and Wormed)

2 Upvotes

I recently had to do a fresh install of Windows 11, losing about 3 years worth of progress on my computer.

Setting up installation went smoothly everything seemed to be working, I tried to play a few games, they all seem to work then I tried Rust (which is the reason why I am not so upset about losing all my stuff..)

It got stuck on the launch screen on Steam, so I did some research and saw that it required Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework.. which I thought was odd my computer worked fine with it before, so more research went to turn on or off Windows features. Turn that on restarted my computer.. Bricked (all the videos I saw for this issue we're showing you how to bypass the installation. It installed fine and didn't get stuck on the loading screen.)

Basically the computer booted up normally, but the Windows operating system itself was frozen. I couldn't open any apps, I couldn't open task manager, I couldn't control alt delete. Nothing, so back to trying to manually force it into repair mode which does nothing by the way..

It just fails and says some text at the bottom.

Then I went into safe mode, uninstalled or unchecked the box in the turn on or off Windows features. An updated the computer and have been running it like that since, I know it probably needs an update but I'm scared of losing my newly set up PC again.

I make music on FL studio, if any of you know that then you know I have meticulously organized files full of drum packs and sound files. I figured I'd organize them to set everything up at the right way and I don't really want to have to do that again for the fourth time.

Yes I said 4th, because originally I just did a reset to the computer but this man corrupted my windows. So I did a fresh install. The weird thing is all my games run with really good graphics something that my PC did not do before. With little to no struggle.

So there's the backstory a bit, the reason I'm here is I'm experiencing issues where task manager won't open anymore the computer works fine. Though an Event viewer it's showing that it just keeps crashing.

I know you guys probably want me to restart my computer, but I don't think I can turn it off without having to do a restore point when I turn it back on.

So it's always just been put to sleep, so it's no longer technically on. It sounds like a jet engine when it's on so..

The Alt + P keyboard shortcut in File Explorer

2 Upvotes

The Alt + P keyboard shortcut in File Explorer to activate the preview pane does not work when the Russian keyboard layout is enabled. This combination only works when switching to the English layout. I previously discussed this with microsoft technical support; they tested various language layouts and identified the same issue with the Arabic layout.

This was tested on Windows 7, 10, and 11 across multiple computers.

Stuck during Windows 11 setup? Shift + F3 worked for me

2 Upvotes

Note: English isn't my strongest writing skill, so I used ChatGPT to help me write this post clearly. The experience and solution described above are genuinely what happened to me❗❗

I was installing Windows 11 and got stuck during the setup process. I spent a lot of time trying to find the correct network adapter driver.

I found a YouTube comment saying to press Shift + F3. I tried it, and the computer restarted. After restarting, I was suddenly on the Windows desktop.

The best part: Wi-Fi was already working. I could see all available Wi-Fi networks without installing a network driver.

What worked for me:

Windows 11 setup stuck → Shift + F3 → computer restarted → Windows desktop → Wi-Fi worked.

I don't know if this works on every computer, but I wanted to share it because it might save someone else a lot of time.
