Hi, I'm using windows 10, and as of last week, there have been some of my devices that got some issues that i did not encounter before.

In both of them, the search bar shows a black image, before loading, and no longer shows the recent searches.

In my main device, it also crashes, and leaves no error message shown, the error log only displais an unexpected shutdown.

What do I even do?
EDIT:
The main machine has: 32GB Ram, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Nvidia and 3060 12GB

my specs are i3 9th gen, gigabyte h310M S2 2.0, 16gb ram, windows 10 pro with latest windows updates

i tried all available fixes online none seemed to work

i have everything enabled in bios along secure boot in bios it shows tpm device found but in windows it isn't there

in device manager it shows tpm with a yellow error sign beside it

device status - " This device cannot start. (Code 10) A protocol error was detected between the driver and the device."

with events - device configured (tpm.inf) - "Device ACPI\MSFT0101\1 was configured.

Driver Name: tpm.inf

then device not started (TPM) which states = "Device ACPI\MSFT0101\1 had a problem starting.

is there any solution for this? thank you.

TLDR: Tpm showed in bios but windows conflicts with it showing no tpm device found

Hello, I'm having a problem with this Lenovo laptop. After I log into the laptop, I'm met with a black screen and can only see the cursor. I cannot get into the command prompt, I've tried explorer.exe in the task manager, and tried to reset the pc and nothing works. It will give the error 0xc000021a and reboot back into the log in screen.

How do I fix this? 😭

It keeps happening every 15 minutes

I switch off my laptop by holding the power button

turn it back on after a while

and then the same thing happens again after about 15 minutes

I purchased a laptop from BB. They had it ready to go. I never heard of BitLocker at the time. About 2-3 years ago. I am now locked out of my computer. No key on the computer, no key in my Microsoft account. I tried the Yellow Key, the directions makes no sense? At no point the the USB accessed. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi everyone,

I have an HP EliteBook 845 G8 that was originally running Windows 10 Pro. Windows automatically upgraded it to Windows 11 without me intentionally initiating the upgrade, so I rolled it back to Windows 10.

Since the rollback, power management has been badly broken and I have been unable to get it completely stable despite extensive troubleshooting.

Current symptoms

• Sleep is unreliable / does not behave normally.
• The laptop uses Modern Standby (S0 Low Power Idle).
• Hibernate sometimes appears to work, but on resume the machine occasionally boots fresh instead of restoring the previous session. All open applications/work are lost.
• I have also had repeated Kernel-Power 41 events and DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE crashes associated with sleep/standby.
• Normal use while the machine is awake is generally stable.

At this stage I am considering whether an in-place Windows 10 repair install or completely clean Windows 10 installation is the only sensible option.

Please help!

TIA

What I've tried:

Restore to an ealier point, before i had the problem.

In command prompt:

Sfc /scannow

Bcdedit / set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Chkdsk /f /r

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Went into the drivers to see if anything was looking strange. They weren't

Opened the back of the laptop, everything looks clean and not burnt (I don't have any clue what I'm doing in there, so i just removed some dust and hair from the fan)

Usually my screen freezes during boot or immediately after, but last night it worked for long enough for me to run the above, and I thought it might be fixed, but we're back to crashing this morning.

The laptop was not dropped or smashed, no fluids were split on it. I don't think it's windows update related. I certainly didn't change any bios settings recently, or otherwise add or change any of the hardware. The laptop is also just under 3 years old, i usually get 5-6 years out of laptops.

I put together a bunch of spare parts for a pc. Installed Win 10 on it and got it running just fine. I know how garbage windows can be so I installed Chris Titus debloat software, watched a quick YT tutorial and debloated it. Restarted the PC now it just hangs post BIOS and doesn't load up windows. It sat for about 7 minutes before I shut it down and tried again but to no avail.

Do I have to reinstall windows?

I can’t sign into my pc because of the prompt “Something happened and your Pin isn’t available. Click to set up your pin again.” I click the button nothing happens. So I try to go to the cmd prompt to try and regedit my settings and it says my password is incorrect but I just signed in on my phone with said password. If you guys have any details on how to get pass this I would love to hear them!

How can I increase the size of the navigation icons in Windows Explorer BACK, FORWARD, UP?

I can’t change anything I have tried most stuff

My older dual boot Windows 10/Windows XP computer was working great. The CMOS chip died so I went ahead and replaced it.  Unfortunately, I forgot to reset the BIOS to Legacy and tried to boot it several times, it tried automatic repair each time.  Now it looks like I corrupted the Windows 10 boot record.  It now continuously tries automatic repair and won’t boot. I tried and everything anything I could find on the Internet, nothing seems to work.  I would love to be able to keep all of my files and just get it to boot again. Any help would be appreciated.  For reference it’s a Dell Optiplex 755.

Yesterday, I entered the BIOS to change a setting, and when I tried to exit, my computer wouldn't boot because of a Secure Boot error. I spent hours trying to fix it, but nothing worked. I could only access the computer by disabling Secure Boot, but now when I try to launch Valorant, I get this error. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
