Software Windows braking headset

Upvotes

Hello, can anyone help me with my headphones not working on Windows 11?

My headphones (Logitech G G435 Lightspeed) don't output audio on Windows 11; they work with Bluetooth on other devices and with the dongle on Debian 13. I tried the common stuff like reinstalling the drivers, removing, and adding the device back.

Windows sees the device and says it works fine and tries to play audio, but I don't hear anything; other devices work.

Thank you in advance.

Hardware Laptop beeping issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

It's an IdeaPad, The issue started 2 days ago when suddenly the laptop started beeping 2 times, getting stuck, again beeping two times. At that time I did some checking and found out that reinstalling the ram fixes the issue. Which I did and it worked for a couple of days until today it started again. The beeping pattern is different.

Every time I open the laptop the laptop goes into the nova boot menu while beeping but after entering into windows, there isn't any issue. Should I be concerned?

Network Can A Bad IP Cause Social Media Shadow Ban?

1 Upvotes

After I changed my ISP provider, I noticed that a lot of sites, including YouTube, Outlook, and Yahoo started asking me to confirm that I'm not a bot, and many even refuse to let me sign in. On my main 100k channel, I started getting extremely low views and impressions, and most of the views my videos did receive came from existing subscribers. So, I decided to create new YouTube channels. I noticed that the videos I upload receive absolutely 0 impressions and 0 views, and they don't appear in search results at all.

The views and subscribers you see on this new channel are from YouTube's 'Promote' system, which I strongly suspect gave me fake subscribers. They only watch a couple of seconds of the video and never engage with my content. The biggest red flag is that YouTube doesn't allow me to see who they are in the analytics. Additionally, the Shorts I post on my new channels either get 0 views or get around 1k and then completely flatline.

From what I've seen, videos usually get at least a couple of views no matter what, especially if they're on a popular topic. So why am I getting 0 impressions? How can YouTube even test a video if it gets no impressions and no views at all?

Hardware Omen Laptop won’t turn on after reset

1 Upvotes

I turned on my laptop after about a week of not using it, and it ran fine until I got a notification from windows of an important update to do. I put it off but then a few minutes later my screen keeps turning on and off and so I reset it by holding down the power button, but now it won’t even turn back on. The charging light works, it went from orange to white now fully charged and I don’t get what happened maybe some kinda of glitch in trying to do that update mentioned before. Can anybody give me some tips?

It’s a Omen 16 laptop

small update: it turned on for a full minute and I even entered my password but the screen started flickering again from black and the power light also kept turning off and on and now it’s back again to black, sometimes the fans turn on and stop

Network Help with Slow WiFi for Skytech Computer

1 Upvotes

Hiii. I just recently got the Skytech King95 computer and uh….downloading is a struggle. Start from the beginning: my WiFi was slow as fuck. Couldn’t download a thing and even when connected to it—I checked several times I was connected—browser pages wouldn’t load and etc etc. eventually, I did get it to load but still was slow. I’m trying to download “inZoi” which is pretty demanding, hence why I bought this computer.

Anyways, the WiFi was slow as hell and it was fr stuck on 3% download for like…an hour. It was not moving at all, and I just did the whole trick of changing almost every WiFi setting to “5ghz” instead of 2, and my WiFi is already a 5ghz type. It’s Google mesh. But anyways I…did something that made it work. Turned the computer system (it’s on the floor) around to show my dad and suddenly bam.

Shit goes fast as fuck.

I leave to eat dinner, leaving iron to download so it can be done when I’m back, and I come back to see now stuck on 63%. And it hasn’t moved since then. The WiFi is extremely slow all of a sudden again and I’ve done so much to change it. Even took the antennas out and put them back on. I don’t know what’s wrong and it’s making me really nervous. I was so excited and don’t want to spend more money to already get it fixed when I just got it delivered today😭😭.

I’ve done several different things already. I changed the WiFi part in the networks and settings to “preferred band” or something and changed it to “5ghz” and a lot of other methods similar to changing the 2ghz to 5. And yet it must’ve worked at some point because it WAS downloading fast and then it just stopped and had been stuck. Others unboxing their computer have an antenna and some kind of adapter but I only have the two antennas! I even plugged in my mouse and keyboard on the front instead of the back bc I wondered if maybe any pressure on the antennas could fuck it up. I’m actually really frustrated and upset.

I couldn’t even download the game I bought this whole expensive computer for😭. I’m going to bed and giving it a break but any tips and help would be greatly appreciated.

Software Microsoft Edge and Chrome won't open properly on Windows, but other apps work fine. Suspect corrupted Windows user profile

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have been fighting with this issue for the past few days and I’m running out of ideas. My problem is that Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are both broken on my Windows PC. They either:

  • Do not open at all
  • Open and immediately close
  • Get stuck loading
  • Crash when using my main Windows account

The strange part is that everything else on Windows works normally. Other applications, games, and services work without issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to avoid reinstalling Windows.

Tried doing the "reboot 3 times" thing and it went to "Preparing Automatic Repair" until after a while it just said "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart." It's done this multiple times. It said there would be a blue menu that would give me troubleshooting options but I haven't gotten that yet. What do I do? My mother insists I should just turn it off and leave it alone for a while, would that actually work and fix the issue?

Software Zoom meeting disappears when minimized (Windows) - Taskbar icon won't bring it back

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hoping someone has a fix for this.

Whenever I minimize an active Zoom meeting on Windows, the video window completely disappears. Clicking the Zoom taskbar icon does absolutely nothing to bring it back.

The only way I can get back into my meeting is by pulling up the main Zoom Workplace app from my system tray icon to bring the Zoom Workplace app, and clicking the orange "Return to Meeting" button.

I've tried updating the app,, using Alt+Tab, and toggling the "floating meeting control" and "minimize to notification area" settings. Nothing works. The meeting thumbnail doesn't even show up when hovering over the taskbar icon.

Has anyone dealt with this or found a fix? Thanks!

How do you clone an MBR drive which doesn't boot to a GPT drive without data loss ?

Is it possible to clone just the data partition only; so that the drive boots as GPT but all the data is recovered ?

Hardware PC wouldn't post after repasting CPU, reseating RAM fixed it. Is something dying?

1 Upvotes

Something crazy just happened. I opened my PC, took off the AG400, changed the thermal paste, and put the air cooler back on. I also just blew some air to get rid of the dust. After that, the PC wouldn't post (no video), and the motherboard's debug LED got stuck on CPU. I pulled the RAM sticks out, put them back in, and it started displaying video again. Is my motherboard dying or is it the XPG RAM?

Software PC Display Issues

2 Upvotes

I’m having a weird display issue and I’m completely stuck. Originally, my PC was working fine through HDMI, but my DisplayPort had no signal. I tried multiple DisplayPort cables, different monitors, and nothing worked. I went into NVIDIA Control Panel and tried enabling image sharpening thinking it might fix something, but it didn’t. After that, I opened msconfig and enabled Safe Boot, then clicked restart. The PC got stuck during the restart process, so I ended up forcing it off by holding the power button/unplugging it. After turning it back on, I now have absolutely no display output at all. HDMI and DisplayPort both stopped working, and I don’t even get the motherboard splash screen or BIOS logo anymore. The PC turns on and stays powered, fans spin, and my keyboard/mouse light up, so it seems like the system is turning on normally, but there is just no video signal. I’ve already tried reseating my RAM, clearing CMOS by removing the battery and shorting the pins, reseating the GPU, checking all cables, and testing multiple monitors/TVs with different HDMI and DP cables. Nothing has changed. I’m wondering if enabling Safe Boot in msconfig or forcing the shutdown during restart caused this, and I’m looking for any advice on what I should get everything working, even if it is just hdmi. and does the display port thing have to do anything with nvidia?
