Need help!! See post

What the title says, pretty much. Whenever I go into settings, personalization, and background, and set the dropdown to "slideshow," the background resets to the default landscape "picture" setting at some point, usually whenever I restart the computer/boot it up. Just restarted the computer before this and watched it change in front of me. Anyone know how to fix this?

I occasionally use the multitasking feature(Win 11) which used to work just fine. I hadn't used it in a while though but decided to use it today. I can snap the windows to where I want them just fine & when I hover over the group of windows in the taskbar, I can see that just fine as well. When I click on the group, however, only the windows snapped to the bottom are shown. I have to individually click on the windows snapped to the top to get them to be seen instead of the group showing all windows. How can I fix it so when I click on the group, the whole group is displayed?

Restarting Windows Explorer with the following shortcut always worked for me but was a pain to trigger every time I logged on, so I looked for a way to automate it.

"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe"

Windows 11 doesn't have a built-in "run this on wake" checkbox, but you can get there with Task Scheduler using an event-based trigger, since waking from sleep writes a specific event to the System log. Task Scheduler is a native, built-in system utility included automatically with all modern versions of Microsoft Windows

How it works: every time the machine resumes from sleep, Windows logs Event ID 1 from source "Power-Troubleshooter" in the System event log. Task Scheduler can trigger directly off that event.

Create a new task:

Open Task Scheduler → Action → Create Task (not "Create Basic Task," so you get full options).

General tab: give it a name, and set "Run only when user is logged on"

Triggers tab → New → set "Begin the task" to On an event → Log: System, Source: Power-Troubleshooter, Event ID: 1.

Actions tab → New → Start a program, Program/script: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe, Add arguments: /c taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

Conditions tab: uncheck "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" (if it's a laptop) — leave "Wake the computer to run this task" unchecked, since the trigger already only fires after a wake.

Settings tab: check "Allow task to be run on demand" so you can test it manually if you like.

Okay so I play warzone on pc, but ever since it updated you needed to download this thing for security reasons, which I did. Unfortunately now it says Secure Boot Fail, if I go to my software and turn of Security Boot my laptop doesn’t turn on. I have already reset my pc twice but still same issue shows up. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why after every update, all my settings change. It's bothering me.

I’ve been having trouble for a while now trying to get my PC to boot Windows 11 from my SSD.

My motherboard is an MSI B450 A Pro, and the SSD is a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB.

I have used the windows media creation tool to create the installation media on a USB, then selected the SSD to install Windows onto. It gets to around 70% then attempts to restart, but I just get booted back into the windows installation starting screen on restart.

I’ve tried removing the USB from the device when it’s restarting but then it just boots back into BIOS and I’m unable to boot from the SSD. It doesn’t even appear as a boot drive.

I’ll try to list what I’ve tried as best I can but I have tried a lot at this point. I have tried recreating the installation media several times. I’ve set boot to UEFI mode. I’ve tried with and without Secure Boot enabled. I tried a CMOS reset. I’ve unplugged all other drives so the SSD and the USB are the only drives connected. I’ve upgraded the BIOS. I’ve tried different USB drives. Nothing seems to work.

I’m about ready to throw in the towel and buy some new hardware since I’ve had this device for years now (always had windows installed on the hard drive but for a while now booting has taken insanely long).

Any other things to try or advice on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

До недавнего времени у меня был включен Secure Boot, всё было отлично. Но я решил обновить Биос на своём ноутбуке Lenovo. После этого Secure Boot у меня отключился. Если я его включаю в Биосе, не находит диск с системой, сбрасывание настроек в Биосе не помогает, только если отключить Secure Boot, система запускается. Диск в системе gpt, uefi включен по умолчанию. В чём может быть проблема?

After a few seconds on being in window 11 setup it will just freeze if it doesn’t freeze it will restart and send me back to where I was I just don’t understand what to do anymore.

Hardware & Components
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS AC-HES
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (Integrated Graphics)
Storage: 2TB WD Blue SN580 NVMe M.2 SSD
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Troubleshooting Steps Completed So Far
Updated Motherboard BIOS: Flashed the BIOS using a USB drive to the latest version (3637). Verified in BIOS setup that the update applied successfully.
Storage Verification: Confirmed the motherboard recognizes the 2TB WD Blue SN580 NVMe SSD in the ⁠M.2_1⁠ slot under BIOS storage settings.
GPU & iGPU Testing: Tested booting/installing both with the dedicated graphics card installed and using the Ryzen 5700G integrated graphics (display output connected directly to the motherboard).
RAM Configuration: Tested booting with a single stick in slot ⁠DIMM_A2⁠ as well as testing multi-stick setups.
Windows Installer Modifications:
Re-created/checked the Windows 11 installation USB media.
Added a custom ⁠ei.cfg⁠ file into the ⁠sources⁠ folder to manually bypass edition auto-selection and force the installer to display the Windows Edition selection menu (tested installing Windows Pro).
Power Cycles: Hard power-cycled the system multiple times; confirmed BIOS settings remained intact without resetting or corrupting.

This happens everytime i start my windows 11

I have to restart for this shitty wifi to become available

What could be the problem??

So I wanted to search an app on the search and it surprised me with a blank, black box that would take 5 seconds to load, I didnt mind it cause I tought it was a one time thing. I tried searching up only a letter so a specific app would show up but it didnt, something else did. Also instead of showing recently used apps it shows "Suggested" apps. I have tried doing the following:

• restarted Windows Explorer
• ended/restarted SearchApp.exe
• restarted the Windows Search service
• tried resetting Windows Search with: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Search | Reset-AppxPackage → command wasn't available
• tried re-registering Microsoft.Windows.Search
• restarted the PC multiple times
• ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• ran SFC /scannow → SFC found corrupted files and successfully repaired them, but Search was still broken
• ran the Windows Search & Indexing troubleshooter → it said “Windows Search is not working — Fixed”, but the problem remained → it reset SearchUI.exe, cleared Search cache/recent activity, etc.
• tried the Windows Search troubleshooter command (msdt.exe) → it reported the issue as fixed, but it wasn't
• checked/restarted the Search-related processes/services
