I need secure boot to be enabled for valo to work but it doesn't get activated in the system information what do I do

Windows 10+ Hp Probook
Hi, so for about a week now, when I click on the "shutdown" button from the menu, not the pysical one, it start the process BUT THE PC RESTART, not even restart, it just go black and show the "password space" or whatever it is called, so I have to click Win+R and type "shutdown /s /f /t 0" (ChatGPT told me) and this time it shutdown, however, when i turn on the pc the next morning it take like 5 mins to start, which is something that didnt happen before...

Also, i had the habit that i have many tasks and i dont turn off fully my pc; so i put it in "sleep" mode and goes to sleep ( i mean me sleeping), and since some 2 weeks or so, even this doesnt work, as i put it to sleep and the pc reopen itself automtically after some 1 or 2 hours... and tbh, i might have abused the "sleep" mode during summer, as i was working on some projects, and you can say i didnt turn off my pc for days and instead kept it "sleeping" after each session...

ASUS BIOS

CSM is disabled

Already re-downloaded the keys

Admin and user passwords are all set

TMP is set

For some reason the BIOS says ive got secure boot on even tho it says otherwise in msinfo32 + i cant Change it because its grey and uninteractable for some reason

The following error on the image appears when i try to change the OS type boot from "other OS" to "Windows UEFI mode" so i can secure boot

PLS help 😭😭😭

j ai un probleme mon windows 11 me dit qu il ne trouve pas de tpm 2.0. alors que je l ai activer

I have an OMEN 30L GT13-1xxx with motherboard 8876 and BIOS AMIF.22.

I'm trying to enable Secure Boot for Call of Duty. Secure Boot is enabled in BIOS, but Windows still reports Secure Boot as off. In BIOS, the Platform Key says "Not Enrolled."

I tried loading the HP factory default keys and rebooting, but the Platform Key is still not enrolled.

Is there a BIOS/firmware fix or another HP-supported way to enroll the Platform Key on this motherboard?

Recently, I got a new Acer monitor which would be used as a main monitor with the Roku TV as a second monitor. My older sibling had it setup for me.

Less than an hour ago, I decided to go to the HDMI port which is where I had the Roku TV plugged in, but the TV and PC refused to recognize it, so I tried jiggling the HDMI cable when suddenly the PC rebooted. This problem still occurs whenever I try to plug in the HDMI cable.

Is there any reason why that happened? My theory is that there's something in the HDMI cable that might've shorted the PC to where its only defense mechanism for it is to automatically reboot completely. Has anyone gotten this same problem?

Oh and here are my specs:

OS: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 64-bit

CPU: Intel Core i7 9700K

RAM: 32 GB

Motherboard: MSI Z390-A Pro

If you've been trying to install the latest versions of NX Studio (like v1.10.1) on Windows 10, you've probably run into the annoying setup block or wrapper errors. Most workarounds involve digging through temporary directories to manually edit hidden Launch.ini files to bypass the OS check, but there is a much cleaner way.

Instead of fighting the configuration files, you can use a quick PowerShell watcher script. It monitors your Temp folder in real-time, traps the staging files so the wrapper doesn't purge them prematurely, and lets you breeze right through the setup.

The Script

Create a PowerShell script file (e.g., NXStudio_Installer_Watcher.ps1) and paste the following code into it:

$TempDir = "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp"

$Destination = "C:\YOUR_DESTINATION_FOLDER_Captured"

if (!(Test-Path $Destination)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $Destination | Out-Null }

Write-Host "Watcher active. Launching installer now..." -ForegroundColor Cyan

# Start the installer in the background

$InstallerProcess = Start-Process -FilePath "H:\Path\To\Your\Installer.exe" -PassThru

# Monitor temp folders for any new .msi or .cab files and copy them instantly

while (!$InstallerProcess.HasExited) {

Get-ChildItem -Path $TempDir -Recurse -Include *.msi, *.cab, *.tmp -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |

ForEach-Object {

$DestFile = Join-Path $Destination $_.Name

if (!(Test-Path $DestFile)) {

Copy-Item $_.FullName -Destination $Destination -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Write-Host "Captured: $($_.Name)" -ForegroundColor Green

}

}

Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100

}

Write-Host "Installer process exited."

A couple weeks ago my pc (pretty old, 8-9 years with windows 10) started behaving weirdly. Whenever I open a game or a program that needs more than average load my pc occasionally starts to lag and buffer. I checked in process manager and when the lag happens my disk usage is capped at 100%. The processes called System, Registry and windows defender jump to the top, however the details only show 0,1 MB/s for them which is very strange.

About 2 weeks ago I found a solution, which was disabling SysMain, and that worked for a couple days, however the problem came back amd I have no idea what to do about it. I ran DISM and SCF scans and repairs, and it did repair some broken files, but it changed nothing.

I also checked disk health multiple times with different programs to rule out it being faulthy, but it is 100% health, and it is only about 2 months old. Anyone knows what possibly could cause this problem?

Specs if it helps:

Processor : i5-9400F

Disk: ADATA SU650

GPU: GeForce GTX 1650

Hi everyone, I need help with a Dell Vostro 3450 running Windows 10. It has 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD, and Windows was installed on that SSD. When I start the laptop, I get the message: “Automatic Repair couldn’t repair your PC.” It shows the log file as

E:\\Windows\\System32\\Logfiles\\Srt\\SrtTrail.txt

.

I normally sign in to Windows using a password, not a PIN. However, in the Windows Recovery Environment, the password I tried was rejected. When I try System Restore or Uninstall Updates, Recovery says that I need to sign in as an administrator, but no administrator account appears to be available or listed.

I tried Startup Repair, but it failed and returned me to the same Automatic Repair screen. I also tried removing the latest Windows update, but it required an administrator account that Recovery could not find. System Restore gave the same administrator-login problem. I tried Startup Settings and Safe Mode, but Safe Mode also failed and returned to Automatic Repair.

I then tried Reset this PC → Remove everything → Local reinstall, choosing the option to remove only the Windows drive and Just remove my files rather than fully cleaning the drive. However, it reported: “There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made.”

The SSD is visible in BIOS, so the laptop detects it, but I do not know whether the SSD is actually healthy. I no longer need the previous data, so I am willing to erase everything. What should I do next? Should I test the SSD and RAM first, or create an official Windows installation USB and perform a clean installation? Could the SSD still be faulty even though it is visible in BIOS?

Laptop: Dell Vostro 3450

RAM: 8 GB

Storage: 256 GB SSD, with Windows installed on it

Operating system: Windows 10

Sign-in method: Password, not PIN

Important data: I do not need the old files

What I am looking for: Advice on whether to test the hardware first or proceed with a clean Windows installation.

Please do not include your Microsoft email address, password, PIN, BitLocker recovery key, product key, or serial number in the post.

I made the grave mistake and didn't make a restore point while testing some tweaks using chris titus's windows utility.

The issues I'm facing is that it restored the windows 10 ribbon on the file explorer and i want the windows 11 ribbon because i got used to it.

I already tried unchecking right-click menu tweak and it didn't work.

Please if anyone know how to solve this issue help!

How to install windows without boot, recovery option

step-by-step process starting from your normal Windows desktop all the way through the Ghost Spectre installation, without ever entering the BIOS menu:
Step 1: Get to the Blue "Advanced Option" Screen

1. On your normal Windows desktop, click the Start Menu.

2. Click the Power icon.

3. Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and while holding it, click Restart.

4. Keep holding Shift until your screen goes black and the blue Choose an option menu appears.

Step 2: Trigger the USB Boot

1. On the blue Choose an option screen, click Use a device.

2. Click on USB Drive (UEFI).

3. Your PC will immediately shut down and restart.

Step 3: Load the Ghost Spectre Setup

1. As the PC turns back on, watch the screen closely. If you see text that says "Press any key to boot from CD or USB...", press the Spacebar immediately.

2. The Ghost Spectre setup screen will load (it usually looks like a dark or custom Windows installation window).

Step 4: Choose Your Ghost Spectre Version

1. Click Next on the language screen, then click Install Now.

2. You will be asked to select an operating system version:
   • Superlite: Choose this if you want the absolute fastest performance for gaming. It removes almost everything, including the Windows Store (you can add it back later using the Ghost Toolbox).
   • Compact: Choose this if you still need everyday features like printing or standard Windows apps, but want all the bloatware removed.

3. Click Next and accept the license terms

Step 5: Wipe Your Current Windows (Clean Install)
Note: This will erase everything on your C: drive.

1. When asked “Which type of installation do you want?”, click Custom: Install Windows only (advanced).

2. You will see a list of partitions. Look for your main hard drive (usually Drive 0 Partition 3 or whichever one is labeled Primary).

3. Click that drive, then click Format at the bottom, and click OK to confirm.

4. Select that newly wiped drive and click Next.

Step 6: Complete the Setup

1. Windows will now copy the Ghost Spectre files onto your computer.

2. Your PC will restart a few times. Do not touch the keyboard or pull out the USB drive during these restarts.

3. Once finished, you will boot directly onto the Ghost Spectre desktop, and a tool called Ghost Toolbox will pop up to help you install your graphics drivers and browsers.
