He also needs to have a disk for mobo drivers and the chipset (or download the latest versions). Plus update BIOS.

If (Team) is not important to you I suggest visiting Settings and uninstalling it. I didn't find it useful but I did find it redundant.

I suggest download the free version of Revo-uninstaller to remove your current backup program. Then download the free version of Macrium. Macrium is a good choice because it creates a boot item when you tap F8 during boot-up. That choice is there if you cannot boot to your desktop screen. No...

I uninstall the weather app with W11 because I use Weather Watcher by Singer Creations. I can hover over the temperature icon in the System Tray and see a small pop-up or click the icon and view all kinds of information about local and global weather. I also got lucky about 10 years ago and was...

I disable all software downloads, WiFi and a few other tweaks in UEFI BIOS. I use a desktop W11 PC with an ethernet cable, I have no need for a WiFi connection. I also do not want anything from BIOS interacting with server-side software. To anyone who uses software/firmware update software for...

That's too bad, it's a nice fixer-upper for Windows. If you have a System Restore point that exists before this all started then take your System back in time to a day or two before you noticed this problem. Or, if you backup your system regularly, use a System Image Backup that you made...

Open a Command Prompt with Admin privileges. Type sfc /scannow and press enter. Reboot the computer. Let us know. Yes, that's a space between c and the forward slash /.

You're welcome. You have now learned to create a USB repair/installation Flash Drive using Microsoft's tool. 👍

Fixer's advice is 'on the mark'. Just make a System Image to one of your internal drives or external drives. Do a clean install with W11 from a flash-drive and all should go well. If it doesn't, use your W11 Flash Drive to access your System Image Backup. Personally I like to use the Windows...

Scanning System Files is important. I mentioned this is another thread and I am sure other members have posted similar tips on SFC. Open a command prompt, run it as administrator then type sfc /scannow . Yes there is a space between sfc and / the forward slash.

I consider that annoying as well. When we left-click the date and time it should show us settings for each. Yes we can right-click it and make changes but one left click giving us nothing is silly. :geek: I should point out that I have all notifications turned off.

Not worth it. Learning the maintenance features built into Windows is your best choice. For various trusted Context Menu and UI tweaks Brink has many tutorials on how to adjust them. For instance - it was a big deal getting rid of the Network icon in the Navigation Pane in Windows 10. A...

Understood. I once had several apps early on to make the UI look and behave better. However after my most recent PC Reset I left all other UI-apps out of the equation and made myself research the internet and find all answers I could. The Taskbar color being black but not using a dark theme was...

In the beginning I did not like W11, now I do. After several reinstalls since 2021 and practicing with W11 features, I have come to the conclusion that it's - simply nice! How do people feel two-three years later about Windows 11?

Open the Windows Command Processor by typing CMD into your search field in the start menu. Once you find it, right click it and run it as Administrator. Copy or type this: sfc /scannow into the CMD box. Yes, there is a space between the c / and the forward slash. Anyone who owns a Windows...
