Well I did the Factory Reset and that went fine in as much as my Data SSD wasn't affected at all. Changes made were only to the Boot SSD. However, after the reset and a few test cold boots my USB/mouse problem recurred. So, as far as the last Lenovo tech that spoke with said, that means the...

Thank you for the responses. This is a brand new laptop. The problem with it is that there is an intermittent problem with a USB wired mouse that when the system boots in from cold-startup (I.e. not a system 'reboot') sometimes the mouse gets 'mounted' and sometimes fails to get mounted. I have...

I have an intermittent issue with my laptop. I contacted Lenovo about this and they recommend Resetting the PC. I have looked at the options for resetting the PC and decided the option I need is: Keep my files > Change settings > Preinstalled apps On I have 2 SSDs on my system. The first is...

Thank you for the welcome. :0) Yes, I have used Terabyte software for creating image files of partitions for many years. It has got me out of trouble several times. I was just thinking of System Restore as an option but on reflection I decided not to try it. From some of what I've now read...

Let's say I have restore points in the following order by date (earliest to latest): Restore Point 1 Restore Point 2 Restore Point 3 If I restore to Point 1 does that mean that changes to the system that occurred at Point 2 and Point 3 also get restored? So, effectively I lose those two...

My cold-shutdown, as far as I can tell, allowed me to avoid creating a Microsoft Account. But thank you so much for the information anyway – I have it under my hat now. :0)

@Bree Thank you. I downloaded and merged the relevant reg tweak for "Let's finish setting up your device" and hope that is the last I'll see of that nonsense from Microsoft.

I'm totally new to Windows 11 so I didn't know any better than to install what was offered. Oh damn! I suppose I need to go through all my newly made configuration settings and check they are still okay. I've spent hours on it too. Thanks very much for the alert. :0) Thank you for that too – I...

I was configuring my brand new laptop today and once I got near to the end of doing that I was offered an update to Windows 11. I allowed the update rebooted the system and found the following was happening. Windows Version Before the Update: Edition Windows 11 Pro Version...

What a horror-show for the Windows way! Personally I use Sizer used it for years and still use it after reading the above.

Thank you. But your cautionary note, "at the moment," leaves me fretting a bit. However, would it be okay for me to import my previously saved of Open Shell settings into the Windows 11 machine?

Well I can't believe I've done it but I just went and ordered a new ThinkPad laptop with Windows 11 Pro. as the operating system and I have to wait 6-8 days for it to be built and delivered to me. Then last night I spent hours fretting that I won't be able to tweak 11 to my liking. Chief among...
