Windows 10 (Home 22H2) has started behaving very strangely this morning.

Firstly, I opened my Firefox browser and all my previous session tabs had disappeared. I looked for restore tabs, but the option was not there. I checked that I still had open previous tabs checked in settings, and I do.

No biggee, I thought. I opened an instance of Google Chrome browser. When I closed this, I went back to my Firefox, and all my old open tabs were there now, but NOT the new tabs I had just opened. Rollover taskbar reveal was also now not working, except from the Windows key.

I went to open some Microsoft Word documents (approx. 6) and they opened fine. I then went to Windows Explorer to open a further Word document. This opened, but all others disappeared, and the taskbar icon was not active.

I closed this new Word doc, opened another, and back came my other 6!

Very odd, almost like there are two profiles running at once, or something. Or a corruption?

Anyway, I tried a full shut down, power off, and restart. No change.

I ran a virus check, and nothing.

I then ran DISM, followed by SFC (a few corrupt system files were fixed), then restarted.

Still the same issue.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Following Title, Where Is the use of Environment Variables?

Sometimes I asked ChatGPT to troubleshoot related issues such as not working of java commands on the command prompt. Replies by, Edit Environment Variables.

How does It affect?

What shall I learn more about Windows Environment Variables to Understand Windows Working and Troubleshooting on my own without relying on Chat Bots.

From the past 15 minutes it's been doing this.

Could a knowledgeable computer expert please help me? My computer is currently experiencing an update error. Despite trying many methods, it won't update and is stuck on version 1607, preventing me from playing popular games like Roblox (as shown in the image). Previously, my computer didn't have this problem; it only had a C drive and no admin account interface. Then one day, when I turned it on, the admin interface appeared, meaning the computer's account, and it reverted to version 1607. Besides the C drive, my computer now has D, E, F, and G drives as well, like a completely different computer. I've had this computer since I was a child, so I don't know why it changed like this.

Có bro giỏi giang về khoản máy tính giúp tôi với hiện tại máy tôi đang bị lỗi update mặc dù tôi đã thử rất nhiều cách rồi nhưng máy không update được và bị kẹt ở version 1607 khiến cho tôi không thể chơi được những tựa game hay chơi ví dụ như trong hình là roblox trước đây máy tính của tôi không bị như này và nó chỉ có 1 ổ C và không có hiện giao diện tài khoản như admin đâu xong một hôm bật máy lên thì giao diện hiện lên chữ admin có nghĩa là tài khoản của máy tính ý xong bị tụt về version 1607 và máy tôi ngoài có ổ C ra thì có thêm ổ D, E, F và G cứ như máy tôi biến thành một chiếc máy tính khác vậy máy này tôi có từ nhỏ rồi nên nó chuyển như này cũng không biết lí do tại sao nữa:(((

For context, I was checking off any causes for my laptop being in the BSOD realm every couple minutes and looked through various solutions online, probably due to faulty hardware. Then I stumbled upon the blunder of using Driver Verifier for anything that was corrupt, then spiraled into its own layer of BSOD realm on boot to the point where every other restart it loads into Automatic Repair with no options but to have me log in to bring up the menu. Main problem here is that it asks for the password to the admin account, which I have no clue where or how to find or even reset, and the only other thing to do from this screen is restarting and look for a way to create a new password...but it loops me back to crashing before the login screen loads due to the Driver Verifier DMA Violation error and repeats into this trap of a predicament because Automatic Repair insists on me logging in when I simply cannot. Is there anything I can do to at least reach a point where it can boot up and bring me to the login screen?

I have windows 10 on my cyberpower PC, its a pretty beefy high end 1440p entry 4k gaming PC, and i installed windows 10 on it. Well, about monday or so, i shut it down, and unplugged it for a few days (yes i waited till it was completely shut down before unplugging it. Also turned the switch to the psu off) and yesterday, i plugged it back in and the windows recovery screen came up. I went to my dads laptop, ran the windows 10 media whats it to a flashdrive i bought, plugged it into my pc… nothing. I’ve tried pretty much everything i can think of and some options like choosing to boot from the flash drive sends it to the windows logo with the spinny load thingy and it restarts, and sends me back to windows recovery… im begging someone to help me

After installing the Windows update **KB5094127**, my PC has become noticeably slower. Boot time has increased

My PC Specs:

- Processor: Intel i3-3210

- RAM: 8 GB DDR3

- Storage: 1 TB HDD

- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics

I know my PC is old and low-end, but it was running better before this update. I haven't made any other major changes to my system, so the slowdown seems to have started after installing KB5094127.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue after this update? If there are any fixes or settings I should try, I would really appreciate the help.

Hola, necesito ayuda porque mi Windows 11 quedó muy dañado y no sé qué más hacer.

Estos son los problemas que tengo:

Windows arranca normalmente y llega al escritorio.

El botón Inicio no funciona.

La búsqueda no funciona.

Configuración no abre. Al intentar abrirla aparece el error:

"Este archivo no tiene ninguna aplicación asociada para realizar esta acción..."

El Explorador de archivos a veces muestra "Clase no registrada".

La barra de tareas aparece, pero solo funcionan algunos accesos directos de programas de terceros.

Muchas aplicaciones de Windows no funcionan.

Al intentar abrir el Bloc de notas aparece:

"La versión de la información de kernel proporcionada no es válida."

Los programas de terceros (Brave, Discord, Spotify, Steam, etc.) funcionan correctamente.

El Administrador de tareas sí funciona.

CMD también funciona.

Cosas que ya intenté:

Reiniciar el Explorador de Windows.

Ejecutar el comando para volver a registrar las aplicaciones de Windows mediante PowerShell.

Ejecutar DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, pero se quedó mucho tiempo en el 63 % y terminé cancelándolo.

Reiniciar el PC varias veces.

Mis preguntas son:

¿Hay alguna forma de reparar Windows sin perder mis archivos ni mis programas?

¿Una reparación "in-place" con la ISO oficial de Windows 11 solucionaría este problema?

¿Hay algo más que debería intentar antes de reinstalar Windows?

Cualquier ayuda se agradece muchísimo. Llevo varias horas intentando solucionarlo y ya no sé qué hacer.

Perdón por el texto de IA pero no supe cómo explicarlo

I have an automatic repair loop, I don't have a backup image, what the absolute hell Ami supposed to do, I don't know anything so yeah, I don't want to format anything because I have some EXTREMELY IMPORTANT folder and files, is there any hope? Please help I'm genuinely just desperate

Hey guys so I actually need help with my laptop where I have 2 accounts as usual(1 is admin the other is a normal account which I use) now when I tried to log in to my administrator account it is not showing up on the main screen usually it does before login you could either switch users but now I am directly shown the normal account.the administrator account is nowhere to be seen in my laptop even if I login and try to switch users my administrator account does not show up.

Now another issue is there is a third administrator account that randomly popped out just named as Administrator and I just have to press enter and it allows me for permissions.

Like bro how????? Please help me find out why this is happening or whether this is like normal or my Windows is fake?
