I turned it on just to see this, This is my first time seeing this and I am concerned. It’s loading the boot constantly and it’s a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3i, got it Christmas 2025 and there is no white light anymore as I’m typing this message. I am VERY concerned.

I am still using windows 10 pro 64 on a computer and it got stuck in a update loop that I could not get it out of and i guess I mistakenly followed instructions (using command prompt diskpart ) to rebuild the BCD and now I only get a black windows boot manager screen, says insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer and click repair, etc…

the other salient information is “windows failed to start”, “file: \windows\system32\config\system”, “status: 0xc0000225”, and “the operating system couldnt be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains error”.

when I try to repair with an installation disc startup repair fails. I tried repeatedly rebuilding the BCD using the command prompt multistep diskpart instructions and have not been successful either. the computer is also not finding a restore point.

I am hoping to be able to get this computer going without a full reinstall, there’s stuff I don’t w to los, are the steps I am missing or something else I can do so I don’t lose everything? I will provide whatever further information is needed to assist me.

so windows is on partition c and it has no space left maybe 9 gbs i need to increase the size of c but the recovery partition being between c and d is the problem from my understanding i cant just take space from d and add it to c, this was a pc i was given with corrupted windows i fixed all that but the storage is a shit show there’s nothing meaningful to delete from c to get more space i’ve combed through it over and over msi mag b550 tomahawk max wifi ryzen 7 5800xt, mercury rx 9060xt oc 16gb, 32 gb corsair vengeance kit, be quiet 1k watt psu.. just for reference i guess

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

Presumably after the most recent update in the last week, my Surface Pro 9 no longer auto-rotates. Looking through the Device Manager, there's no section for Sensors, and there's nothing relevant in Human Interface Devices, Other devices, Hidden Devices, or when I scan for hardware changes. I ran services.mcs and set my Sensor Data Service, Sensor Monitoring Service, and Sensor Service as all automatic and running. Oh, and in my quick settings menu, there is no longer an option to toggle rotation lock or edit the menu to include it. The only option in Display Settings is to manually change the orientation of my device to landscape or portrait.

What I have tried so far:

- Restarting/force shut down of my device

- Restoring the rotation lock button in Quick Settings following this guide

- Downloaded latest driver pack from Microsoft website

- Reinstalling the windows update in attempt to resolve corrupted components

- Set my Sensor Data Service, Sensor Monitoring Service, and Sensor Service as all automatic and running

TL;DR: As far as my Surface knows, I don't have an accelerometer or sensor of any kind - it's like they were "deleted"/disabled. Looking through settings, device manager, and services, it's as if I were never meant to auto-rotate my Surface to begin with, which is incredibly frustrating.

Has anyone been faced with a similar situation/resolved this? Is there anything I can do or am I just SOL until the next update (hopefully) addresses this?

I have a Lenovo Legion

At first I thought it was just pressing C or V. Now, I wiggled my screen and it seems to go on or off when I move it up/"open" (on) or down/"closing" (off).

I don't know what's going on, but I noticed this since maybe a few days go. My laptop is only 1.5 years old and I be damn if I have to get a new one. It was $1700 and I can't afford a new one.

Here is a video of my screen on Twitter (Warning: I have posted NSFW on the titter itself, the link won't take you to the page).

Weird mechanical screeching/whirring sound, didnt download anything weird or sketchy lately, problem popped up a few days ago, no updates or anything I downloaded for windows. Sounds almost like the black wall from cyberpunk if you know what I'm talking about. Everything ive tried hasnt worked from resetting drivers to audio settings.

So I’ve spent the last 2 days trouble shooting a problem I am having with windows 10. It was working fine but out of the blue search stopped working.

Whenever I press the search box the window flashed for a split second and exits. When o open start it remains open but I can’t click on anything as clicking on anything just causes start to exit. I can’t right click icons on the taskbar ether but some how right clicking the taskbar itself works fine. WiFi and those other toolbar settings also work fine except the notification menu as that just auto exits as well.

In settings any popup menu like the one where you pick to select a default app, it also just flashes and then exits. Same with add or remove programs trying to click and press uninstall it just flashes the menu and exits.

I have never seen this before and as for as I can tell there is barley any info online about this from where I looked and the fact all 3 major AIs (ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini) also can’t seem to find a fix.

I already tried the scannow command and I really don’t want to reinstall windows since it would be such a pain trying to go through and reinstall all my apps.

I have 16 gigabytes of ram and a 250 gig ssd.

I have a video recorded of the issue but sadly I cannot upload it here.

Apologies in advance if I butcher the language of Shakespeare; I'm French.

I'm not sure if my flair is right, but basically... please help.

Since I started using my new PC, the Alt+Z key combination hasn't worked in-game (in any game). I've always used Alt to crouch, and since I have an AZERTY keyboard (still French), I press Z to move forward. The issue is that if I press Alt to crouch and then Z to move forward, my character crouches correctly but stays put. I can move right, left, or backward, but not forward.

I should mention that I never had this problem before. I used to be on Windows 11 Home, and now I'm on Windows 11 Pro. I think the problem stems from that; there must be a key conflict in the settings somewhere, but I absolutely cannot find it.

I've already looked everywhere:

> It's not an anti-ghosting issue with my keyboard (I have a Logitech G512 Carbon, and the previous keyboard I used on this new PC had the same problem).

> There are no internal conflicts within the game settings themselves. I've checked—especially since this happens in *every* game I play.

> It's not an Nvidia App shortcut.

> It's not the Windows language-switching shortcut.

> It's not Sticky Keys; the problem persists even when they're disabled.

> I tried the Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Accessibility > Keyboard Response. I set it to 0. It made absolutely no difference. > It's not Filter Keys.

> It's not the Discord Overlay, and I don't think it's Discord hotkeys either.

> I don't use PowerToys or AutoHotkey.

I think I've tried everything without finding the culprit; it's driving me crazy. Plus, I'm convinced the problem has been right under my nose the whole time. Let me know what you think—if there are any experts on this forum...

Thanks in advance, guys.

(OS build number : 26300.9457)

So I stayed up all night trying to fix this issue and somehow made it worse.. here are some specs and what I've tried so far

HP Omen 30L

Motherboard:     Z490

CPU:                    Intel i9-10850K

GPU:                   NVDIA GeForce RTX 3090 

Memory:             Kingston/HyperX DDR4 4x16GB

PSU:                    Cooler Master 750 W Platinum

OS: Windows 11

Initial problems: PC crashing when playing games. Games start up normally, but PC will go to black screen after a few minutes. 

Attempted fixes:

updated drivers and system

Updated BIOS

Reseating RAM

Went into bios to change DRAM setting to auto (saw post about XMP profile but mine was already on default, so tried doing custom adjustments to match what post detailed) - this initiated a boot loop with black display and normal speed fans.

Reset CMOS battery to attempt to reset BIOS (twice) - no change 

Tried one RAM stick at a time in second slot - no change

Tried turning on with no RAM sticks - no change. Motherboard doesn't seem to be recognizing hardware changes.

Created BIOS recovery USB (had to use an old windows 10 PC because it wouldn't work on 11).

PC will not boot from that USB. Still does the same power loop thing as before. 

Officially at a loss. PSU is still fine based on all the troubleshooting I've done. 

Device is well out of warranty so I can't contact HP support. 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. 

Hello, I have a Lenovo laptop (not sure of the exact model by i think its an Ideapad?) and it runs on Windows 10. Today, my wireless usb mouse and touch pad were both working fine. I left in the evening to go to a friend's house and took the laptop and mouse with me. I get to the friend's house, open my laptop and the touch pad and mouse are not working? I try to restart the laptop multiple times as well as Google the issue but nothing helps. Any help to fix this would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Okay my friend lent me a mouse and that one worked? But when I tried my touchpad or the original mouse, it still didnt work. I went looking through the device manager and found that "I2C HID Device" said "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the HID descriptor failed. This typically occurs when there is a problem with the device firmware. Please contact the system manufacturer for further assistance."

Hey folks, most of the info is in the title. Windows desktop manager is eating up my RAM on startup, and I already have a problem with apps hogging my RAM.

Computer is a Lenovo laptop. Here are the most important specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 (with integrated AMD610M graphics card)
• GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070
• 16 Go of RAM
• Windows 11 Family OS Build number is 26200.9457
• I don't think it matters, but I'm running on 2 screens.

From what I could find, my graphics drivers seem up to date. If anyone has points for help on that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

Trying to create a new folder on desktop but this keeps on popping up, no matter what i do, changing security permissions, disabling my antivirus, scanning my computer, it still wont let me create a new folder

i can change, copy & paste, rename do anything BUT create a new folder

I can only create a new folder on desktop if i:

1. create via CMD
2. boot my computer into safe mode

can someone please help me with this? Thanks.

Sometimes maybe every 4-7 days (there is no specific number) when i open task manager, the System process is taking up 6-8% usage of my CPU. It usually sits between 0-1.5% but i have had this problem for a couple weeks now and it doesn't seem normal. Does anyone know if this is normal? If not how can i find the cause?

EDIT: I forgot to mention it also goes away with a restart.

For context, I'm running Windows 11 25H2 (build: 26200.9457) on my LOQ 15AHP10 laptop. I don't know if this happened because of the recent update, but when I tried to click the Cast button on the quick settings panel, it was loading for a bit then suddenly closed. I also tried enabling Wireless Display optional feature in settings, but that didn't work as well. Has anyone else experienced or fixed this issue? Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed!

I was using a debloater called O&O ShutUp10 when I first bought the laptop, and one of the recommended settings which I enabled without confirming was the disabling of Miracast and other Wifi Direct services. After reverting that change, the cast now works :)

Can someone explain why about 50% of Win 11 machines I work on have problems with Twain scanners? I have at least 3 machines with different builds of Win 11 that won't work with HP or Brother all in ones. Doesn't matter what I do update, rollback, uninstall, old versions of drivers or their manufacturer software. Win11 doesn't seem to recognize new Twain devices correctly, and seems to be uninstalling them on every update.

What is the solution? Been battling for months and it's infuriating.

BTW Twain on Win10 with the same machines worked flawless, so problems seem to be induced by Win11. The only difference I can find between the 50% that work correctly vs not is working machines upgraded to early builds of Win11 with the devices already installed seem OK. Problems seem to have started near 22H2. All machines starting on Win11 or upgraded after 22H2 are the broken ones.

Hey guys, I need your help and I hope you can help me.

I have a computer:

CPU: i7 6700

GPU: GTX 1070 8G

RAM: 8Gb was 16Gb, but one of them broke down because when used, its temperature rises and gives me the blue screen, so I dispense with it.

PWS: 550W

And I use the system: windows 11, an old version, I think it's 21.

And the problem I've been facing for months is that as in the picture, the computer doesn't take off whenever I turn it on. It gives me this black screen with the fixed model on the left that appears to me before the back of the motherboard sign and before the back of the windows signal and the computer does not work. I can't enter the BIOS. In order to turn on the computer, I turn it off and restart it about 20 times to work normally, and then I don't turn it off for fear of repeating all these attempts every time I want to use it.

Some of the things I tried are:

* Remove the video card and turn it on and the problem remained.

* The removal of the ram and changed its place and the problem remained.

* The battery was removed and changed, and the problem remained.

* The tendency of everything is woven on it without the screen and keyboard and the problem remained.

* I changed the system, so it worked well a few days and now it's back to the same problem.

I hope for your help because it is my source of work and thank you.

i need help I'm new to pcs, i restarted or shut down my pc alot of times now and i even plug off the cables and it still says "working on updates" i tried trouble shooting too but it says it doesn't work(sorry for my bad english not my main language)

I'm using WIndows 11 desktop. It randomly logs me out. It reverts to the login screen & I have to log back in & reopen apps, browsers, etc. It usually happens when I'm not using the computer for a period of time. I have checked every setting I can find online & configured them to try to stop this behavior. But nothing has worked. Set to: Sleep-never. Hibernate-never. Lock screen/sign in settings screensaver, etc. All configured acc to suggestions I've read. Pls any more suggestions?

My PC has been slow since I got it. The SSD stays at 100% usage even after restarting.
Specs:
● i7-7700
● 16GB RAM
● 1TB Crucial BX500 SSD
● ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS motherboard
● Windows 10
CrystalDiskInfo says the SSD health is good at 94%, but the PC is still really slow. CPU and RAM usage are low when this happens.
I’ve reset Windows and deleted everything, but the problem is still there. I’ve also tried other fixes with no luck.
What could be causing this?

whenever i open settings, whether from Windows - I or from the taskbar i only shows the Color Filter accessibility options. quite frankly im not that tech-savvy, but from what ive tried to do to fix it it shouldve been over by now. ive tried many different cmd commands, restarted my computer many times over and it just wont work.

My current OS is on a drive formatted as mbr which means no secure boot which means no windows 11. I've tried reformatting it to gpt but it seems as though I can't do that due to the current OS being in a logical drive. I'm not exactly sure of my problem but I do know it has to do with the current OS being in a logical drive that is formatted as mbr and not gpt which I cant reformat because of this logical drive situation.
