The drive is unlocked. It wont even list the option to enable auto-unlock until the drive is unlocked. It doesnt matter which way I unlock it, with the password or the bitlocker keys.

Hello all, I cant get bitlocker auto-unlock to enable for my data drive. I get this blank dialog box popup when I try. I've tried the common DISM and SFC commands to make sure all the system files are intact. It came up with one file to repair, but the CBS log listed it as the Bluetooth...

HDMI connection to the GPU? Or monitor issue?

For being something that is 5 years old now, it keeps up pretty darn well with everything I do. But I buy them that way on purpose. You can get a hell of a system for $500, and Im sure it would keep up with some newer systems pretty well. As an update, I put the ECC RAM in the day after I made...

Did you save a copy of your BitLocker key anywhere? When you set it up, it gives you the option to back up your key. You can save it to a file on a USB drive, your Microsoft account, or print it. I keep at least two different backups of mine.

Ive used it for a couple of months now without issue - wonderful little app.

Do you mean you trim your SSDs? Ive always understood that defragging SSDs is a bad idea because of their limited write cycles as compared to traditional HDDs.

That is a bit odd. I dont know off hand how Windows populates menus like that, what files or dlls of whatever else it reads from for the options and config. There is a pretty simple scan that you can do to check for system file corruption: Run this in an admin terminal: dism /online...

Thanks for your input. I was like 98% certain that I wouldn't have any issues, which is why I pulled the trigger - that and Amazon is usually really good with their return policy anyway - but I wanted to just reach out and see what others had to say, as I've never worked with ECC RAM before. I...

From what Ive seen so far, OWC memory is pretty highly regarded in Mac and NAS applications. It is used by people in Synology NAS systems, for instance. So, we will see. It would almost have to be better than what I currenty have seeing all the errors that came up with testing. Though what is...

I did that and it only showed non-ECC upgrades, but from what I can tell is that is because they dont offer ECC RAM for laptops anymore. At least, not in the DDR4 spec. Its listed, but it is also labeled as end of life on the site.

So, maybe a bit of a silly question here, but here it goes. I noticed I was having some weird application issues. Hangs, crashes, etc. I ran some diagnostics, and everything was fine until I ran memtest86+. Turns out the RAM in this machine (specs in system one below) is full of errors. If I...

IT is quite strange that a bad battery would cause slow boot times, but I guess anything is possible when it comes to tech. Probably caused some really obscure bug to rear its head.

Ive been using one of these for the last couple of months, so I can't say a whole lot about longevity over months or even years, but it consistently delivers well over 350 MB/s in my usage. Movespeed USB 3.2 SSD

I wonder if anyone here has an idea. Ever since the update to 25H2 26200.6972, I havent seen new builds in Windows Update. The Insider tab will tell me that a new build is available, but the Update tab says Im up to date and never offers the new build. Any ideas on what I can do? I am enrolled...
