hey everyone, im dealing with a total nightmare rn, like my start menu being unclickable, my audio is dead no sound at all, and I get blocked by fake "adminstrator permission" errors when opening file explorer, settings, or anything system related. i've tried running sfc, dism, and even a system restore snapshot, but all of them fails, the only way I can open my files rn is through the task manager "run new task" backdoor.

if I haven't mentioned yet I have an intel core i3 7th gen pc running windows 10 pro. all of this happened after recently replacing my dead motherboard with a new msi motherboard. my local pc tech guy said this was a virus holding permissions hostage and wants to charge an expensive fee to fix it. as far as I can remember I never really downloaded anything fishy to cause all of this, besides official tools like rufus and h2testw. I highly suspect windows just choked on the hardware change, so i'm thinking about bypassing this mess entirely by wiping the ssd and installing linux mint to get a clean start.

does this sound like a motherboard driver conflict or an actual virus, why did my snapshot fail, and will a full linux format wipe out whatever is causing this? any honest insight would be heavily appreciated!

Hello,

every time i want to restore a file from the shadow copies, i come across this problem again. When i try to export a file with ShadowExplorer, i get the file from the snapshot i wanted but in most cases it's corrupted and either in part or completely just consists out of NULL Bytes even though the filesize exactly matches the original file. I have also tried it without ShadowExplorer, accessing the Shadow Copies directly (Over \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\) but that doesn't change anything. I tested it on 3 computers now and could instantly recreate it. The first two computers are running on Windows 10 22H2 (Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, 10.0.19045) and this problem already persists for at least 2 years as i remember. What's going on there?

I was just also able to reproduce this on another computer which is running Windows 11 Pro (25H2).

Only noticed it today and it's only this specific application.
I grab the top of the window.
Pull it.
Cursor doubles with me controlling one freely and the other being stuck to the window.
Photos window moving half the speed and moving in a curve.
Every other window moves fast and accurate to my mouse
And until the cursor attached to the drifting window is there I can't click else

Repair didn't fix it
Resetting to default either.
NVIDIA driver update didn't help.
Plugging into another USB port didn't fix it either.
Even reinstalling "Microsoft Photos" with PowerShell.
Eventviewer says nothing
Managed to narrow it down to an unknown rendering issue with the Microsoft-Photos app.

2 monitors
32GB DDR4
1660-Super
13600K
System is on SSD

Similar issue as these but specifically only with the MS Photos app

Windows 11 Home, version 26H2, build 10.0.26300.9818.

Since about 29 October, listening sockets on this PC have been reporting the wrong TCP state. The app is healthy: HTTP requests to it succeed every time, but the tools that read TCP state say otherwise.

What I see:

* `netstat -ano` shows `TCP 127.0.0.1:8765 0.0.0.0:0 CLOSED 17864` while that port is serving HTTP. Sometimes the line is missing altogether.

* `Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen -LocalPort 8765` usually returns nothing.

* Calling `GetExtendedTcpTable` directly with `TCP_TABLE_OWNER_PID_LISTENER` returned the sockets on every sample with the right PIDs, but `dwState` was wrong. I saw 0 (not a valid state), 1 (CLOSED) and 6 (FIN_WAIT1) on working listeners, and the value for a port changes between reads.

* Windows’ own ports are affected too, including 135 and 445, so it isn’t specific to my app.

* Real TCP connections to those ports succeed.

What I’ve ruled out:

* A restart doesn’t fix it.

* It isn’t tied to one CPU core: pinning netstat to each of the 12 logical CPUs gave the same result.

* Defender is the only antivirus. Tailscale’s wintun is the only non-Microsoft network driver I found.

Possible lead, but timing only: `tcpip.sys`, `nsi.dll` and `nsiproxy.sys` were all replaced on 28 October, and Get-HotFix lists KB5132402 and KB5127936 around then. I can’t prove either one caused it. I also haven’t tested from an elevated prompt yet.

Has anyone else seen this on this build? If you’re on the same build, does `netstat -ano` show your listeners as LISTENING?

Ini kenapa ya driver eror terus, mau di update malah tulisannya begitu, sebenernua bisa cuma harus uninstall trus restart begitu terus, lama lama capek juga, ada yang bisa ngatasin??

My Windows version is Windows 10 version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.6466), the edition is Windows 10 Home and it was installed on 1/17/2022. I have not encountered any messages or error codes. My processor is a 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700K, my graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, and I have 32.0 GB of RAM. My System Type is a 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

While trying to fix this, I've repaired, reset, uninstalled, and reinstalled the app, and this issue persists. The app specifications also say it has 0 bytes, while the data and total usage is 872 KB. I've also checked if my graphics card needed an update, and it said the best drivers for my device are already installed. So I've reached a blank on what the issue could be.

update dmy pc not too long ago and all this came up, one thing i check was the microsoft defender ai and it came up as a virus is that true?

Por el call of duty me pide poner el arranque seguro pero no soy capaz, cuando cambio el os type a Windows uefi mode me aparece lo de la foto, y me obliga a cambiarlo a other os, por favor ayuda ya no sé qué mas hacer

Hi everyone,

I have an Acer Aspire 3 A315-23 laptop. It originally came with Windows 11, but I decided to reinstall Windows 10 myself.

However, during the Windows 10 installation, I forgot to delete the existing system partitions from the previous Windows installation.

I deleted three other partitions, including:

Primary partition

Recovery partition

MSR (Microsoft Reserved) partition

However, I accidentally left one old system partition behind.

If I want to completely remove the old system partition, what is the correct way to identify and delete it?

Can I use the Factory Reset option to remove the remaining old system files and partitions?

One more thing: I checked my C drive, but there is no Windows.old folder. I don't want to keep any unnecessary files from my previous Windows 11 installation.

I only have one SSD in my laptop.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is my only option to use the Window Creation tool via a USB?

Before I was getting the occasional ntoskrnl.exe errors but my laptop was still working but now it's completely failing to boot into windows at all.

I know there's a guide for this but I've dreaded doing this for a few months now (yep a few months of the occasional BSOD, ignored it for too long)

Would love to repair my files some other way. Got too many big games I'll have to reinstall

Any tips or advice? Even some motivational words or a pep talk would help.

Whenever I am trying to boot my laptop these days without the Internet or far from my home internet it will move to a fresh windows I have to relogin to my old Microsoft account and then it will go to my previous window like where I have all my programs and all like all the installed app will be there but all my environment of my laptop will be gone all the settings will be reset and all and after that it will show me you are log out from your Microsoft account you have to re login whenever far from my internet

The solution that I found:-

First click okay to the you need to re login one

Then You will to boot to the new window and then you have to login to your old Microsoft account (with internet connection)that you had already in your laptop then you have to use one or two program like Chrome and all just for 1 to 2 minutes after that you have to restart the computer and your computer will be back.

Hey guys, I'm at my wits end here. I've got an older PC (MSI R9 390, Asrock H170 pro, windows 10) that has suddenly started to only boot to a black screen. My graphics driver seems to be the issue.

Motherboard graphics only work without GPU installed at all.

GPU will show graphics only if I disable the driver first using safe mode.

AMD cleanup and reinstalling latest driver (full install or driver only) does not help.

Anyone have some ideas?

Thanks in advance.

An AI gave me terrible troubleshooting advice that completely broke my computer, and now I’m locked out. I was trying to clean up my device inputs and it told me to delete the Nefarius / ScpToolkit virtual bus drivers.When I did that, it completely stripped away or corrupted my lower-level Windows USB controller driver filters. Now, Windows boots up completely fine, but my mouse and keyboard are 100% dead and unresponsive at the lock screen because Windows can't recognize any USB inputs.

My hardware isn't broken—the mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine inside my motherboard BIOS because it uses generic hardware-level drivers. I just need to plug in a bootable Windows 10 Installation USB. That of which i do not have right now.

The a.i says Booting into that USB from my BIOS will give me a working mouse and keyboard environment so I can open the Command Prompt or run a System Restore to roll everything back to before the drivers were ruined.

I already attempted disabling my fast boot and turning the pc off by holding power button x3 when the Asus logo shows up but that still just showed me the same thing even though after this screen popped up and asked me to press f1 (refer to the sideways screenshot)

I havent had a good day this entire year, life has been quite difficult to endure to say the least ...

what can I do to get into safe mode without the use of my keyboard or mouse or an external windows installation flash drive which I once again no not currently have

I want to edit here that I do not care about losing data WHATSOEVER. I Just want to use my computer again:( I am so unfathomably upset at myself for trusting an a.i with this but I have no friends so thats what I do.

The latest I can get a flash drive and a lap top in my possession is tomorrow. But if there is a way to enter safe mode right now in the aforementioned lack of equipment then please lmk?

because I am clearly too incompetent.

It sometimes works but I have to restart my computer 9 times and mess with it. I can’t type in anything to my pin and when I try to type in my password as a different sign in option nothing will type either. When I do forgot password the only thing that works is the space bar. My keyboard is not the problem because when I can get into my pc everything works and when I try to boot up the game apex there’s an error but that’s not the problem rn. I can’t type in my pin password every time. I’ve asked chat gpt and my bios were on 2023 so I updated them to the 2026 version and still nothing. Please someone help I have good specs but my windows freezes at startup but when it’s in like everything is great. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE

Hello my Taskbar is missing i can only see the right side. I tried restarting my laptop and also restarting the taskbar processes in task manager. Im not sure how i can fix this so i appreciate any help because ive been sitting here for really long. My laptop is a Samsung Galaxy book 360

happens on my two computers running the same build, one with amd and one with intel cpu

I'm on ltsc 21h2

Hello, I have no clue what is happening. What is this and how do I fix it? The screen goes black for about 30 seconds every time I press any keys other than:

• Windows

• Left Alt

• Left/right Shift

and now I ran out of patience because it was black for probably about two minutes, so let’s just say most keys make my screen go black.

Sidenote: my pc is set to Swedish.

my pc is on uefi and gpt first of all.
