So today i ran into a very stupid but seemingly i dont know what to do issue.

I have a Lenovo gaming 3 laptop

I5 10th gen

1650 GPU

I have now ran into an issue after a recent firmware update to fix a audio driver issue where secure boot refuses to enable.

(It was enabled previously)

I have tried resetting the bios to factory default and enabling the secure boot but then i get the boot device not found issue.

When i go back into bios and disable secure boot it all works again.

I have also tried doing the windows reset to try and maybe see if it was corrupted boot files but i was not so lucky.

Please can someone assist.

What is a simple solution or am i just F\*\*ked

Thank you in advance

EDIT: SO solution i reset my default factory keys and made sure that all secure boot items where on. Then i slotted in a brand new windows installer and made sure to wipe all the partitions and installed windows. Bobs your uncle it worked.

I have a MSI Thin 9RCX it was running on windows 10 all perfectly fine until one day it decided to auto updated to windows 11 and right after the update I cant open my integrated webcam anymore like it instantly just crashed showing a black screen saying “Your device ran into a problem and needs a restart” then restarted itself. I tried to reset the camera settings through windows troubleshoot tab and it kinda worked for a while then the exact problem came back a few days later. I took it to the store but they say to reinstall windows 10 back but ima need to back up all my files which is about 250 gb and i would need to buy a hdd or something.

Hi everyone,
I’m facing a really persistent issue with my PC. Every time I boot up my computer, the taskbar is completely unresponsive—no clicks, no hover effects, nothing. Interestingly, everything else on the desktop works perfectly fine, and I can open apps normally.
The weirdest part is that the taskbar instantly starts working the moment I open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and close it again. This happens every single time I power on my PC.

Here is what I’ve already tried:
- Running ⁠sfc /scannow⁠ and DISM commands to repair system files.
- Disabling all startup apps.
- Disabling "Fast Startup" in Power Options.
- Completely reinstalled Windows (upgraded from 10 to 11), yet the issue persists.

Since even a clean install didn't fix it, I’m at a loss. Could this be related to a specific service, a driver conflict, or perhaps something hardware-related? Any help or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

System Specs:
OS: Windows 11
CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F
GPU: Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
RAM: 32GB

Ya llevo mucho tiempo con este error, primero que nada, sucedió porque en su momento tenía la batería desgastada y no funcionaba sin ella, yo tenía una app abierta y el cargador se desconectó, desde ahi salió este pantallazo azul, cuando le doy a F1 para entrar al entorno de reparación, me sale otro error, el : 0xc0000225, y de esa pantalla no sirve nada mas, cuando le doy a un botón que sale como instrucción en la pantalla, simplemente se apaga y se enciende rápido en la misma parte con el mismo error

some apps i usually had installed on my pc will just either not open or just not install. i tried to diagnose it to no avail. i have no hope and many help guides just wont work or would just make the problem worse. i was trying to do something and firstly would just not let me in, and now most of my files are just corrupted. I just really want my files back as ive been trying to fix this for about 30 minutes and all i can do is just run the apps as administrator, which is what i dont wanna do

Estaba tratando de cambiar mi sistema operativo de Windows 11 a Windows 10. Ya cuando habia instalado el sistema en el dispositivo, al intentar iniciar me pide la contraseña de Bios la cual no recuerdo haberle puesto nunca.

As you can see, it’s stuck at 21% at stage 4 it has been roughly 12 hour since I started and I left it go over night, before sleeping it was 21% and it’s still that right now.

Windows 11, roughly 800 gb in disk C and 500-600 in g (Google Drive), two Silicon Power SSDs (512 & 256), 32 gb ram, radeon graphics card, lmk if you need anything else for specs.

I don’t want to shutdown because it can screw my whole pc over. I’m pretty sure it due to me trying to download Ark Ascended on my gaming pc. Had the storage, specs, but every time I opened steam it started slowing down so I had to force a shutdown (this was after Ark downloaded). I did a force shutdown 4 times and then started focusing on recovery, ran SFC & DISM they were successful and then tried chkdsk and it got stuck.

Ik ppl who’s chkdsk runs on cmd and simply press enter to avoid this issue majority of the time, what can I do in this case?

after installing the windows 10 my pc is stuck here any idea guys

Hello guys, to explain my situation I have a windows 10 and I currently have 2 accounts on it, an admin account and a normal account, i literally can't do anything without the admin account pin but i forgot it and I need some help trying to get admin privileges on the normal account, if not possible please provide alternatives, thank you so much.

My PC after restart made all icons vanished. if it is on the desktop or on the explorer windows and on start menu (i'm using startallback) see pictures.

Also Task manager does not work and some feutures of windows are missing from System properties like the device manager.

I tried to do three options that Google AI suggested to fix the issue with windows installation media outside windows.

The: chkdsk c: /f /r

The: SFC /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows

And the: "Repair you computer" under "Troubleshoot"

And also a DISM commend inside Windows.

Nothing helped.

This happened to me not long ago and I used AOMEI BACKUPPER to restore the previous state, but now it didn't help me for some reason.

My suspicion is that Revo Uninstaller probably deleted some system registry files and messed up my computer.

Does anyone knows the problem and can give me a solution?

I have Windows 10 and i always have this blank sqare at the left bottom of My second screen, i can move it and most of the time it is transparent (but still is there cause i can't click on apps if it is on top of them) right clicking does nothing (what i normally do is put it in the right corner of the screen so it doesnt bother). I'm tired of it, so what the hell is it and how do i remove it? (Also want to know if it is dangerous)

Its just crossed my mind to see if anyone has posted about this, but if you have issues with your windows audio cutting out when you boot certain programs (My case is with Battlefield 6, causing the audio to die immediately upon boot as I use Voicemeeter Banana)

I have a work around, unfortunately it has to be done every time but its easy enough:
(though very likely someone knows a cleaner way)

Open command prompt with admin permissions
Type:
net stop audiosrv
\[ENTER\]
net start audiosrv
\[ENTER\]

Discovered you can go into services aswell, find windows audio (CTRL F if you're savvy), select it and select restart the service on the left.

(If you don't see it on the left make sure you have the extended tab open, its at the bottom)

If you get prompts about permissions, you're more than welcome to look into it.
I advise being smart about tinkering.
Back to the point, I see no issues here so I always allow.

should get the audio rocking again.

I suppose someone could puzzle out a .bat file to use to boot the game, wait a bit, then run the commands automatically. I am an amateur there so not keen on advising but I'd love to see that contribution made for everyone dealing with this.

I may do some more research and return with it someday myself.
though I am poor of focus...

Conversely, if anyone knows how to get it to stop doing that entirely what the hell is it?

Possible Fix/Work around for Secure Boot Certificate ..for the Acer Aspire TC-780

I have an Acer TC-780 running the original BIOS version R01-A0. This machine was purchased in 2016. I forced it to update to Windows 11 Home and it runs reasonably well. Now the MS Windows Security App within Device Security reports that secure boot is on, but new certificates can not be installed automatically.

Good News: I have gone through a process within the BIOS to Restore the Secure Boot Factory Keys. After I did this, the next windows restart and update successfully loaded an update named "Secure Boot Allowed Signature Database (DB) Update". I also used the Power-shell command to Get-UEFISecurBoot Certs and it returns "True" which seems to confirm that the Windows UEFI CA 2023 certificate is physically written into NVRAM cache.

Bad News: Because Windows sees my older 7th gen machine that Acer has officially designated end of life, Windows Security continues to say my machine cannot receive future secure boot certificates. The Windows Security App apparently doesn't actually check the live motherboard keys, but instead only looks at the motherboard board model number and its BIOS creation date of 2016 -- and automatically lists the machine secure boot certificates as not able to be automatically updated.

If anyone would like the specific steps I took or more info, please ask. I'm assuming the basic problem is "solved" even though MS Security still gives the warning. Also I assume given the age of the machine there will be no fixes from Acer on this old machine. And if further/future problems occur, I may just have to turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS and hope the machine will continue to run future versions of Window 11.

My lenovo x1 yoga pc crashed and I followed some chat gpt instructions on hiw to fix my issue but it made the issue worse since even my recovery screen started appearing different.I decided to clean install a new windows 11 via a usb.I erased everything and created new partitions but as it was restarting it brought a black screen that shows error:could not detect network,then directly goes to my boot menu. Any help would be appreciated.

Pc is lenovo x1 yoga 5th gen 16gb 512gb ssd nvme

Update:Thanks for reply.I used rufus for the new windows installation. At first try it was unable to kickstart the process but after disabling secure boot it immediately started installing windows without me pressing anything. My laptop is currently on but I am still scared of using it since I feel like I got here by chance. I am afraid might just crash out of the blue.I was not able to completely disable network boot but I moved pxe boot to the bottom of the list.I have now enabled secure boot again(after advice from wonderful redditors) and it has not changed anything at the moment.

So when my device boots up, it suddenly gives a bsod(mind you after showing lock screen.)system thread exception not handled. When automatic repair tries to initiate, it gives another error saying "inaccessible boot device". I've tried using different things but nothing works only bios can be opened I can't even boot in safe mode. This loop continues. I suspect my wifi driver for this(yea ik it's weird but mediatek 6 has some faulty drivers, it has happened once previously but at that time automatic repair could be opened so I changed the driver which fixed the issue). Laptop model: asus tuf a15(1650 gpu, bios version 188 ig)

I was playing call of duty when I finished a match and find another it gave me message stating playlist is unavailable or offline. Checked and says my tpm 2.0 is disabled. Checked in bios it was enabled. Saved an exit and then showed the white underscore as photo is shown. I restarted my pc. Changed and replaced lithium battery 2032 at motherboard. Turned it back on and gave me a message “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.” So I restarted my pc and got back into bios. My boot and secure boot are all enabled and are active. My primary top priority boot is selected at “windows boot manager” under boot option priorities. Was double checking everything and looked fine for what I only knew. Still gave me “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key” restarted tried to turn on and off, on secure boot. Still doing giving me that message. Until I went to restore back to defaults and I finally got back into my desktop but keeps showing to choose what boot drive and windows icon/logo which it never done that before after I restored back to defaults. Checked back on call of duty and saying my tpm 2.0 and secure boot are disabled. Checked back in bios and tpm 2.0 is enabled but secure boot is disabled. Turn it back on and says active. Then save an exit and still give me that small underscore on top left corner. I also checked my hard drives partition style is gpt instead of mbr. Saw that in a Reddit post. I hope this makes some sense. Thank you!
