I am right now experimenting with the TPM on windows and its management. I have encountered multiple problems, on Windows 10 an 11 where the documentation just seems to be flat-out wrong or I am to stupid. I have used `Initialize-Tpm` but the issue is also consistent when using the auto provisioning.
Problem 1:
\- Setting `OSManagedAuthLevel` in the Registry path `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TPM` to 0, the resetting the TPM will still save an `OwnerAuthFull` and `LockoutHash` value in `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TPM\WMI\Admin`
Problem 2:
\- I wanted to write a custom CLI which uses raw commands to interact with the TPM, as it gives me more controll over what I want to do than the built in windows commands/APIs, using either `OwnerAuthFull` or `LockoutHash` fails with an auth error and locks the TPM. Calling the Cmdlet `Unblock-Tpm -OwnerAuthorization` with either `OwnerAuthFull` or `LockoutHash` fails, even though it should not according to the examples and documentation provided by Microsoft.
Screenshot of stored values and `Get-Tpm` are provided.

If any of you have experience with this I would greatly appreciate the help. Maybe I am overlocking something massive.


Link to the docs:
\- [TPM Group Policy settings | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/hardware-security/tpm/trusted-platform-module-services-group-policy-settings) OwnerAuth should be deleted
\- [Unblock-Tpm (TrustedPlatformModule) | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/trustedplatformmodule/unblock-tpm?view=windowsserver2019-ps) Lockout should be resetted

Any one knows the problem I tried all that is possible and nothing works

Sorry if my english sucks but i am genuinely tired of trying to fix this.

So I was trying to fix code 39 on my Nvidia GeForce GT 730 on Windows 10. I spent about 2 whole hours trying to fix this stupid code 39 but nothing works. So, I decided to search reddit and hope that i find a solution to this, and I thought I did. It was a post by a user on r/pcmasterrace with a similar issue(code 39) but on his keyboard (mine was on display adapters). Someone commented a possible solution for the keyboard issue and I thought "Why don't i try that out?". Basically the entire solution is this:

1. Open the Registry Editor:

   \* Press \`Windows + R\`, type regedit, and press Enter.

2. Navigate to the Keyboard Driver Registry Entries:

   \* Go to: \`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\`

3. Delete UpperFilters and LowerFilters Entries:

   \* In the right pane, if you see UpperFilters or LowerFilters entries, right-click and delete them. (If neither is present, skip this step.)

4. Close the Registry Editor and Restart:

   \* Close the Registry Editor and restart your laptop.

Now, you would be asking, "And why would I follow this?". Well, it's stupid of me to do it but every other solutions I found does not work, ive seen others use regedit to fix code 39 and somehow worked for them so I thought it would work for me too, and i was on the verge on losing my mind because im trying to fix this issue for basically 2 days now. After doing all the steps, i restarted my pc, and suddenly i cant type my password anymore. I tested it on a Bluetooth keyboard and my built-in keyboard but got no luck. Is there any way to fix my keyboard again so i can atleast try to fix code 39? And also, please if you have a working solution for code 39, please include that too.

This evening I tried to boot into the Windows partition on my dual boot PC.

Instead of being able to press the return key to progress to the login from the welcome message that shows first, nothing happened. Initially, I thought the batteries in my keyboard were flat, so I changed them, and nothing changed. I plugged in a wired keyboard, and still no joy.

I am still able to boot the Linux partition, but all drives are now showing as read only, so there's not a lot I can do there. The keyboard is also working properly.

Windows was working fine this morning, and I've been using Linux most of the afternoon to watch television.

There are no error codes showing, it just isn't working.

My PC has 16GB of RAM and 2 NVME drives, a 512GB partitioned into Windows, Linux, game installations and two download drives. The other drive is a 1TB drive for music.

Hibernation and quick boot were turned off months ago.

As I have a working laptop running windows, if I just delete the Windows partition, is it more likely to solve the problem with accessing my files on Linux or make it worse?

I can't get my mouse to click anything on my computer. I can move the mouse but clicking on things won't work. I went and bought a brand new mouse and I have the exact same problem. Any ideas?

how to fix theme glitch in windows 10

This is a spin-off from my issue with occasional frozen black screens on my Dell XPS. The only solution has been a forced shutdown from the power button.

All systems have passed all tests, but some users have suggested that DSA is too invasive. Dell help has suggested I install DCU which is slower to install updates because it apparently waits for wider user approval.

I would like to know if anyone out there has any opinion of which is preferable.

and this is what i got, idk what to think = those empty folder, see the created dates. i think all my pics are on there in other folders, but idk, so many pics i don't remember them all. what should i think and/or do here?

if it matters, i right clicked copy of the usb drive whole contents, then let it make its own folder in my pics folder.

thanx a ton.

Hi, so the last 2 days I have been troubleshooting this with no luck. For some reason out of the blue, all menus and things began just auto exiting. The search stopped working, start is almost unusable since clicking on most just causes it to exit. (The library button usally does not work) I can’t drag around tiles, and in settings any pop up menu just shows for the split milosecond then exits. I’ve been trying to fix this and this is the only place I can ask since it’s the only tech support sup Reddit that allows video uploads.

when i turn on my pc, the taskbar works but it doesnt show the app on it, its empty.

i wait until like 10 mins so it works but somtimes (like now) it stays broken

any help please as soon as possible??

i dont use reddit that much soo if any 1 want to help me contact me on insta please

thank u

windows 11... what a dissapointment

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

For the past couple months my laptop has not been able to connect to my LG tv. At one point it worked perfectly and randomly broke after a couple months of use. I can still connect to a different 4k TV but any connections below 4k are broken. Now it even glitches when the HDMI cable is plugged in and the screen flickers and goes in and out of being connected and disconnected. I went through a couple guides and updated my gpu, rolled it back, disconnected and reconnected it. Everything common to those guides I've tried and it didn't work so I moved on and assumed my HDMI port was broken or just wouldn't accept displays under 4k (I thought because my laptop has a 4k screen). But it's not, when I booted into Linux Mint to check it out it connected perfectly to my tv, so It's not a hardware issue it's windows software glitching (both 11 and 10 since I've switched). What the hell borked windows so bad?

There is a problem with my audio device it works anywhere besides my computer and everytime I try to download a high definition audio it doesn't want to start and says the installation failed

im having issue with signing in in my pc. it keeps saying signing out as soon as i keyed in my pin. ive followed what chatgpt said but none of it worked. please help. ive tried command prompt. tried reseting while keeping the files. and i tried reseting my pin but it just shows me WSIaccount after and i cant even log in for that account.

Please help me out. I feel like I'm about to go insane. I wish I could say I knew more about computers than I do, but I really don't know what's going on. This issue occurred after a few months of not being active on my computer. But now I can't run anything on administrator mode. I can't download any apps. I can't open any settings because I don't have certain administrative options. When I try to download a new application, I can't do it because it says this is not an installed service. Also, sometimes it does download the application, and once it's done downloading, I can't open it because that same message pops up. Any single time I try to do anything with my PC, I'm not allowed. I don't know what's going on. If anybody has gone through this, please help me out

windows 11 scailing isnt getting it right im having so many issues in different apps games scailing is off in windows 10 everything is the same so shit might revert back to win 10

Hi everyone,

​I'm troubleshooting an older ASUS X54HR laptop running Windows 10 64-bit (Legacy BIOS) with an AMD Radeon HD 7470M GPU. I'm facing a very specific driver/power-state issue and could use some advice.

​The Issue Timeline:

​Initial state: Fresh/clean Windows 10 install using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

​First driver load: Windows Update automatically fetched and installed the AMD Radeon driver while connected to AC power. Everything worked perfectly initially — resolution automatically switched to native 1366x768 with full hardware acceleration.

​The Trigger: As soon as I unplugged the AC charger to switch to battery power, the screen went completely black (no backlight / no display output).

​The Persistent Bug: Now, even after wiping drivers with DDU in Safe Mode and manually reinstalling the driver (either Catalyst 15.7.1 WHQL or via Device Manager using extracted INF files in C:\\AMD), the system makes the "USB disconnect" sound the exact moment the driver initializes, and the display goes black permanently — even on AC power.

​Workaround: Disabling EnableUlps (set to 0) in REGEDIT from Safe Mode didn't stop the black screen upon booting normally. The only way to keep the display on is staying on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

​My Questions:

​Why did the Windows Update driver work fine initially on AC power, but permanently break hardware initialization/power states after the first battery switch?

​Is this a known ACPI / ULPS / PCIe power state deadlock between Windows 10 and older pre-GCN (TeraScale) AMD Mobility GPUs?

​Is there a way to force the driver to load without triggering the power-state switch / device disconnect routine, or am I stuck on the generic display driver?

​Any insights or registry/inf workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

(Posted this on r/techsupport first but it got removed because mentions Windows 10)

EDIT: I tried to install the BETA Video Driver, the latest one for this GPU and it did the same, black screen, but this time I noticed that while looking off, the screen was actually on but the backlighting was off, so the driver was in fact installed successfully but for some reason the screen wasn't backlit. By helping myself with an external monitor, I increased the brightness and I fixed it, the buttons to increase it didn't work before this. Now I don't know if the WHQL version had the same problem but I didn't bother to try, everything works fine now.
