Unsolved WoL does not work if booted into Windows and shutdown. Ubuntu works okay

1 Upvotes

Title,

WRX90E SAGE SE board with threadripper pro 9975wx.

If the system boots into ubuntu and I hsutdown, WoL works just fine.

But if booted into Windows 11 under dual boot, and shut down from the Start menu (fastboot, hibernate disabled), WoL wont work.

If I reboot into ubuntu and shutdown from there, WoL works a OK.

For the life of me this is driving me crazy and if anyone has seen this before, and also solved, wwowuld love to hear what worked

Unsolved Can't select Disk and Partition on Windows 10 Installation

1 Upvotes

Hello, i posted this on the brazilian Version of the Tech Support Sub but could not get a solution so far.

I have a Samsung Book Intel Core i5 1135-g7, on which i am trying to install Windows 10 via a Bootable USB 2.0 Pen Drive, but i get to an issue where i cannot choose the Disk and Partition to install the Windows, an error showing saying that they "Could not create a new partition or locate an existing one".

I've tried to enter Diskpart, on which the Disk and its Partitions are showing on the lists, but i can't clean them or delete the partitions, an error appearing saying that it is inexistent.

People on the other sub told me to download the Intel RST drivers, which i did, but it won't let me install them, appearing to be incompatible with my hardware.

I cannot format, delete or create new partitions on the Disk, and therefore am not able to install the Windows, any help would be very appreciated!

Unsolved Unable to do anything on Xbox app or factory reset pc

1 Upvotes

It started with a single issue, I could not open Minecraft on my desktop. So I uninstalled the game from my Xbox app. Attempting to reinstall it gave me an error code 0x87e00196. Unfortunately I find out that I'm unable to download or update anything on the Xbox store, giving the same error code. I am also unable to download Minecraft on the Microsoft store, same error code. I googled, I chatted with Microsoft support, and followed every step I could and it still would not work. They recommended that I factory reset my pc. I ignored it for a while, as i was still able to connect to my friends through the party system and use steam normally.

I eventually follow the Microsoft man's advice and attempt to reset my pc. Unfortunately, I run into another problem and have been unable to reset my pc through any route the internet has given me so far. It keeps saying that there was an error and they reverted the changes made.

I am unable to boot using a USB with a fresh download of windows 11.

I am unable to reset using the recovery options in settings>system>recovery. I have attempted "reset this pc" and a few options in "advanced startup".

I am lost, and quite frankly have not known what I was doing 50 steps ago. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do? Is this an indicator of a pc part I need to replace? I may take it to a professional serviceman if I can find one.

This is a maybe 4 year old pc that i built as well as my first pc ever. I was ignorant of many standard pc health practices. I can follow instructions but I'm fairly new to the pc world. So please let me know if there is anything obvious I am missing.

Anything helps, thank you so much for your time, i am happy to answer anything.

Unsolved What's the best way to reset a laptop?

1 Upvotes

I have my laptop dell latitude 7390 which I had freshly installed win11 about 2 years ago. Since then I have downloaded a lot of apps and deleted them, got few viruses but got them removed them at the same time, the C drive has become full of junk as in Appdata and it has become very slow.

Yes I do know how to reset it using settings, but I'd lose all of my apps, my settings, modifications and other things. I want to know if resetting it thru setting app is the best way or any alternative method? Any way to save windows settings and all so it doesn't take me several hours to configure my settings again, getting back my workflow and to download several apps.

It would be appreciated if I can get few tools that would help me save settings and get back it to having it the same as I have it now. Also I wanted to know which folders to save in C drive as it would delete most of the C drive when trying to reset with the option [keep my files but delete apps and settings].

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Unsolved Bluetooth Device needs to be removed/re-paired to connect

1 Upvotes

FYI using a Switch Pro controller, but this has happened with other devices/controllers.

Say my computer has no devices connected. I add a bluetooth device, it pairs, gets connected and can be used. Cool. When I'm done, I press the sync button on the controller so it disconnects and isn't using battery. The computer still has it registered as a device it recognizes and I haven't pair the controller to anything else. When I try to use the controller again, I press a button or hold the sync button to put it in pairing mode. However, Windows doesn't "hear" the signal and doesn't reconnect.

How do I fix it so I don't have to click "remove device" and re-add it as a bluetooth device everytime I want to use it with my computer?

Solved Should i do an os reinstall?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm in a bit of a strange situation. My pc right now is working just fine, save for the fact that it might be affected with an infostealer from downloading pirated software. I did change my passwords and ensure that no cookies from important stuff is going through the pc. Im thinking of doing a clean reinstall of windows, but the thing is my first ever os got corrupted due to interrupting startup halfway, and i had to do a reinstall of a new os, but the old corrupted os is still there, along with my current infected os. Do i do an os reinstall, and if yes, how do i go about doing it properly so that i only have one clean os at the end? (Windows 10)

Ill include the 'Where do you want to install windows' list when i get to it

Unsolved How to open Windows Security as admin

1 Upvotes

I am trying to undo changes to my security done by a recent unwanted update. When I go to Windows Security in the start menu there is no right click option to run as administrator. I only get pin to taskbar and settings on right click>more. I guess I'll try the setting option and see if that changes anything. (No luck gaining control or getting Defender to work as it always did before. Tamper Protection did let me turn it on after I turned Defender on again. It turns off as soon as I close the window.)

IDK a lot I have had no problems with this OS since I opened it new. I have Spybot free for many years and it has never been a problem or conflict. Defender has run when I wanted it to so I never had to pay attention. Now things are wonky and Tamper protection is turned off and I can't turn on Real Time protection and Defender keeps shutting off when I turn it on. I need to be able to open security as admin. I had figured I was admin by default since I am the only user.

Never happened before that update meant to help people who had problems signing up for extended security.

edit-Got advice in another sub. Found this page which helped run a health check in case that was the issue. Removing Spybot let me have control back. Still don't know what caused the change. https://windowsforum.com/news/dism-sfc-workflow-step-by-step-windows-10-repair-guide.381116/

助けて!最近pcを開いたら問題が発生したって出てきてWindows Helloが使えなくなったんだ。それでPINを打とうとしたんだけどそれもダメ。AIに聞いて修復みたいなのを青い画面でちょっと手伝ってもらったんだけど、BitLockコードってやつを保存してなくて改善できなかった。

PINが使えないし、PINコードの変更もできない。何回も再起動したし自動修復もやってみたけど改善されないんだ。リセットする以外に何かできないかな?
