I just updated Winsows 11 23H2 with the KB5046633 Windows 11 cumulative update, the November cumulative update for .Net framework and the PowerShell and since then the power menu is no longer available.Right clicking on the start menu does not produce any effect anymoreWin+X does not work either. Before installing these updates I had not that problem. Therefore these updates, and especially KB5046633 are completely responsible of it. Please, tell me if there is any way to fix it or to remove the KB5046633 update. Read More...

I bought my laptop Huawei Matebook D 15 last year around February-April, so it's relatively new. I remember I installed Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11* update because intel told me to install the update. After the restart, i got a blue screen "Automatic repair, your PC didn't start correctly", I tried "uninstall quality update" and "uninstall feature update" and both didn't work. Also tried to roll back my Bluetooth driver to the previous version in safe mode, it didn't help either. Read More...

Firstly, I put up a question 2 days ago which was answered in such awesome detail by the fellow bellow and whilst I acknowledge I am far from youg, I tried 3 times to reply to his email to thank him ever so much but my email never went through to him which really disappoints me. He was great. So I have another question but it makes me reluctant that I can not even acknowledge the huge effort he and others put in to help so if someone can tell me how to do this, I would be very happy. firstly, I purchased some PDF Converter software from NUANCE some years ago and I have the serial number Read More...

윈도우 검색 시 윈도우의 기본 설치 앱 또는 추가적으로 설치한 앱에 대한 검색이 제대로 되지 않습니다.예를들어 메모장, 계산기 등 기본으로 설치된 프로그램과 Excel 같이 추가적으로 설치한 프로그램에 대해 검색이 안됩니다.이 외에도 시스템 환경 변수와 같이 설정의 부분도 전반적으로 검색이 안됩니다.모든 앱이 전부 검색이 안된다면 오히려 이해가 될 수 있는데 cmd 나 추가적으로 설치한 앱 중 검색이 정상적인 것도 존재하여 어떤게 문제인지 정확히 파악이 안되고 있습니다.이전에 윈도우 검색기능 사용이 Bing 검색이 너무 불편해서 인터넷 검색을 통해 레지스트리 부분을 수정한 적이 있는데 이게 영향이 있을까요?추가적으로 윈도우 검색 기능에서 앱 보다 문서, 폴더, 설정파일 같은 부분 위주로 검색이 되어 불편합니다.해결방법이 있을까요?정리하면 아래와 같습니다.1. 윈도우 검색 시 앱 검색이 정확하게 이뤄지지 않음2. 윈도우 검색 시 문서나 폴더보다 앱 위주로 검색이 되도록 설정하는 방법3. 포맷이 필요한 경우 bing 검색이 완전히 안되도록 설정하는 방법Read More...

再一次版本更新之后，突然多出一个虚拟触控板差不多的东西，可以被点击选择关闭，里面可以控制麦克风的关闭以及摄像头的关闭，之前将这两个全部选择关闭了，麦克风在键盘中有指令可以打开，但我现在摄像头想使用时，因为处于关闭状态，因此无法打开，但是我再次点击虚拟触控板选项，无法打开那个组件了，之前也有想过是否是因为下载的壁纸软件等，但是并未找到。现在的问题是，我的摄像头处于关闭状态，我现在急需打开视像头进行使用Read More...

Hello, I was locked out of my computer so I tried to make a new PIN. It said that it had to email me so I could verify that it was me trying to change my PIN. However, it kept saying that it is unable to email me, and then said to go to the website: https://account.live.com/proofs/marklost and change my login information there. So I did that and changed it to a different email account that it could email, for me to verify from. However, now it says that I have to wait 30 days for this to change and I have no way to log into my computer.What can I do to log into my computer?Read More...

Some "old school" Folks likely know how we once found the window to turn Windows features On & Off.But as we all know times change. Now, it can be found in Settings, if you know where and it takes a few clicks to finally have it. Certainly, can put something in Settings search bar, but... Here's the tip:Hit the Windows key & begin typing W-i-n-d and before you can finish... click on it 👇Cheers,DrewRead More...

Comments welcome 🙏Win+X offers some different choices than the Power button on Start. They are the same, except Win+X has Sign out... Power button has Lock.Remember, whilst comparing, Lock is Win+L and Sign out is Win+X+i ; so, neither is, actually, 'lost'NB: The OS is doing the translucency. Cheers,DrewRead More...
