Who woulda thunk it. My local tech (a good guy and reasonable) just called to tell me that one of the memory sticks tested bad. Last time he had it for repair he said they tested fine, but this time they didn’t. This 2 year old PC came with two sticks of DDR4 2666 Gskill RAM. He said one stick...

MachineLanguage, Of course, no problem. I totally understand. I'm basically on a fishing trip with this & in my mind things point more and more to the WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 2T I installed for extra storage. This computer ran absolutely 100% fine up until, A) I installed the WD NVMe, and/or...

Thank you MachineLanguage. I am printing your instructions as I type this. Will see what happens Monday or thereafter and report back.

Well, I'm over my head here. First, I have no idea what any Phone app is, or why our WIN11 computer would even have one. Next, I don't have a clue how to gather log files. Before it died completely, the computer gave me two choices, both of which were to reset itself, so instead of me doing it...

Sorry, the line was: C:\WINDOWS\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h…\CrossDeviceResume.exe

Glasskuter, I spoke too soon. Two BSODs occurred last week: Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. Restarts and runs normally for a week. I thought it self-repaired. After one week while editing some photos using GIMP & it locked up...

Glasscutter, Starting the New Year off right with our WIN11 machine back in business 100%. The system was wiped again by a small local shop & it's now Version 25H2 vs. 23H2 and seems to have made all the difference. I'm only speculating since this hasn't been proven, but through my own...

Greetings again, I probably won’t be asking many questions for a while as our WIN11 PC bit the dust. It was seemingly running just fine until I attempted to load Photoshop Elements 2022 into it which resulted in a BSOD, although it seemingly returned to functionality. I then deleted the program...

Many thanks glasskuter and zbook for your prompt replies. I'm out and about (holiday and other stuff) so haven't fully digested all your info, but it looks like you covered everything. Looks like Macrium is the solution.

Our computer didn’t come with an extra partition for a factory reset as far as I know, and at this time we are not using any cloud-based services for data/file storage. Just so I understand correctly. Creating an image is basically taking a snapshot of the computer (the WIN11 OS along with...

zbook, Thank you for your prompt response. I know nothing about restoring images. Is restoring an image the same thing as restoring an operating system, WIN11 in this case, and/or the computer data included? What is the difference between backing up images as you describe and using something...

Just curious. Not long ago I tried loading a Photoshop Elements WIN10 disk program into our WIN11 computer using the compatibility mode, which resulted in a BSOD with the computer locking itself into a self-repair loop which it couldn’t get out of, which in turn resulted in my paying good money...

glasskuter, Your instructions shown again below, when followed to the letter, solved the issue for me. Everything is easy once you know how ;-) Thanks again for your time and patience. Neither my WIN11 computer nor I will forget. Betty Boop rules! You would use Method 1. start to finish...

Background note: Prior to logging onto Eleven Forum, while attempting to load an older version of Photoshop Elements from disk onto this WIN11 computer using compatibility mode, the computer locked up in a self-repair mode loop, so I returned it to the store where it was purchased. Their tech...

Thank you again. When I use the word ‘folders’ below, I’m referring to Downloads/Documents/Pictures/Music/Video. I made these discoveries over the weekend: 1. The store which repaired our WIN11 computer said drive C was wiped clean with the new install of WIN11. Apparently not. After having...
