I bought a hp zbook firefly G8 with 512GB SSD, I changed (swapped) the 512 SSD with a 1 TB SSD (WD). Next I installed Ubuntu, and left a partition of 250GB for installing Windows 11.I created with the microsoft media creation tool (as an administrator) an installation USB drive for windows 11. The zbook has TPM 2.0 enabled and secure boot is available and disabled. Be aware the Laptop has no Windows at all, so the regular tools of windows will not do the job, there is only place for one SSD.The USB is recognized (BIOS) and the order is USB first.Unfortunaly the USB will not start at all. UbuntRead More...

Hi, i was trying to patch our offline network via WSUS last month with october's latest patches and error code 0x80070005 keeps getting thrown.I hoped it was something with that month's patches but no luck, november does the same.From what i've read, it's either a corrupted file, or insufficient permissions but i have my doubts about this. The .NET update, Edge and Defender updates install with no problems, only the OS one fails and even this doesn't happen on all workstations.So far ,i've tried adding permissions for the software distribution folder and the app data one, getting the patch as Read More...

I just purchased a USB C based docking station for home and want to swap both my work Dell laptop and personal Lenovo laptop. This works great other than I noticed the colors are slightly washed out compared to direct HDMI for the same laptops on the same monitor. I have fiddled with the HDR calibration settings but I don't really know what's going on. I generally am the person that understands exactly why things aren't right but on this one I don't really know what a docking station is doing to change the display behaviors or settings. Can someone explain what might be happening to cause thisRead More...

今まで使っていたOutlook（New）、（Cassic）のメールアドレスを新規購入のPCでも使いたく、新PCのWindows（Microsoft）のセットアップ時Microsoftのアカウントのメールアドレスを古いPCで使用のメールアドレスの一字間違えて入力し、アカウント作成した。　新しいPCはうまく立ち上がり、Word, Outlookなどのアプリも起動。しかし新PCのOutlookのメールアドレスが一字間違えたため、今まで受領していたメールが受電できない。　新しいPC間違えたメールアドレスで、メールは使えるが、古いＰＣのメールアドレス広く使っているので新しいPCこのアドレスに変更したい。　質問①アカウントのメールアドレスを変更すると新ＰＣの連携しているアプリに影響がでると聞いているが、問題なければどのように変更できますか？　　　質問②　上記①ができない場合、セットアップ済のアカウントに古いPCのOutlookメールアドレスを追加することになるがどのようにすればよいのでしょうか？　宜しくご教示お願いします。Read More...

I've been having this issue for a while now. Sometimes, when I wake up my laptop, the screen brightness won't be turned up all the way. When I press the shortcut to increase the brightness (Fn+F6), it decreases the brightness even more. The decrease brightness shortcut still does what it's supposed to, if that matters. I end up having to go into settings to use the brightness slider, but even on max my display still isn't as bright as it normally is. It's really annoying and I have no idea why it happens. I just have to wait for it to resolve itself. I'm using the blue light filter but it isn'Read More...

We have an Application built with .NET Forms, while the security components (DLLs) are developed in C++. Recently, we packaged our application using MSIX (App Isolation) and signed it with a self-signed certificate. The Application launches and functions as expected.However, when we introduce an intentional crash (e.g., a null pointer exception), the system does not restore the changes made by the application, such as hiding the taskbar. Our understanding was that App Isolation would help revert any system modifications after a crash, but it seems this isn't the case.Is this expected behavior Read More...

Hello,I have an HP laptop running Windows 11. At work I use network locations on a server. Every time I disconnect the laptop from the work network (like when I take the laptop to a meeting or leave work and turn on the laptop at home) I get multiple messages (at least 10, usually even more) saying "windows cannot access \\192.168.........." Error code either 0x80070043 or 0x80070035.It is quite frustrating having to click 10 or 15 times to dismiss the same message multiple times a day. Is there a way to disable that message or at least make it appear only once?I've had this problem for a longRead More...

I'd really want to stop Windows from automatically resuming music playback after waking from sleep and connecting to a Bluetooth speaker. I think I've seen the same issue brought up but never resolved (here and here). Threads are locked, so I'm starting a new one by necessity.Here's what happens:1. Spotify is on (regular windows app, not the windows store one), playback is paused and I put my Windows PC to sleep,2. I wake the PC up,3. Windows connects to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones,4. Spotify resumes playback.I'm on Windows 11 Pro. This happens regardless of logging in to the account or Read More...

Hi, I'm trying to update to windows 11 version 24H2. When I do the install, it stops at 37% stating it needs space to update. However, I have 15GB of free storage. Why is it asking for more space?? This is more free space than it should need to do the update. Any help appreciated. Many thanks Wayne Read More...

Hi all,I am troubled by upgrading my PC with Windows 11 Pro to 24H2. I have tried everything i could find on the forums and other sources. Turned off AV, BitLocker etc. Troubleshooter doesn't work. In-place upgrade doesn't work. CHKDSK, sfc /scannow and many other methods I've come across on the internet simply doesn't work. It's getting pretty annoying.Read More...

Hello Microsoft Community!Since last Thursday, I have come upon the 0x800704cf Error for all Microsoft apps asking me to sign in again and again, although I clearly am connected to the internet. I have been following solutions such as So beheben Sie den Fehlercode 0x800704cf in Windows - TWCB (DE) which I thought had worked during that time but it seemed to only work temporarily, because as soon as I shut down my laptop and open it again after a few hours for working, the same problem persists. I thought it was a firewall issue, but even turning off the windows firewall did not help the issue Read More...

My laptop is sometimes slow to wake from sleep, and when it does, the internal display goes from black to.... black! (it's the secondary display to my monitor, where the login screen appears). The keyboard backlit works even in sleep mode, so it's sometimes very difficult to tell what state it is currently in, whether it's just being slow to respond, or still asleep, or something else.Is there any setting to set a background (even just a background colour) for the secondary display BEFORE login?Read More...

Hi there,I bought a zbook firefly generation 8, with 512GB SSD, with windows 11-pro. I mechanically swapped the 512GB SSD with a 1TB Western Digital SSD. I also installed Ubuntu 24.04 and left about 250GB unallocated for Windows. Be aware there is no Windows jet on this computer, so windows tools won't do the job.I created a windows installation memory stick with installation media windows 11. I did that muliple times with or without administrator rights on a windows 10 laptop. U checked the USB with chkdsk and all seems to be ok, with partition manager it has a healthy primary partition FAT32Read More...
