Hmm... That makes sense. Could be related to my laser cutter or 3D printer.

I have a USB dongle that I can't identify. I can't locate it in device manager. When plugged in, the end slowly flashes green. I can use the command "wmic path Win32_PnPEntity where "Caption like '%USB%'" get Caption,HardwareID" to list my USB devices, and I get the following entry when the...

Just to follow up... She told me just to wipe everything as it was "acting funny" anyhow. Had no issues installing and Windows activated without any issues. She's happy.

Extra question... If I boot from a Live CD (Windows PE, Linux, etc.) and bitlocker is not active, I should be able to see the files, shouldn't I? Would there be a way to find the Microsoft account (not password) that was used to activate Windows, if the activation is linked to an Microsoft account?

A friend has forgotten her Windows password, even with a decent hint, so can't log in. She wants me to just reset Windows and she will start over. I can download the Media Creation Tool and reinstall Windows, but I have a couple of questions... 1. How can I tell which version of Windows she is...

This was the solution. It helped a bit, but eventually I just replaced the mouse pad. Change Drag and Drop Sensitivity in Windows

It was the USB descriptors I was using on the Pico. Now that I have proper descriptors I haven't had any issues.

I tried out the Device Cleanup Tool found here: Tools for Windows and it seems to have helped some. The Pico 2 still has issues occasionally, but I can work around them and get it back to normal. I think the issue is that I am trying to use the Pico2 to be a HID keyboard and gaming device and...

Just to test further. I opened a Windows 10 VM on my Windows 11 PC. I connected the Pico 2 USB device to the VM and the devices came up in the Device Manager. I was able to edit the code.py file without any issues. I shut down the VM and let the Pico 2 connect back to the host and it's won't let...

I have a very odd issue here... I have a USB drive (actually a Raspberry Pi Pico 2) where the filesystem is not behaving as expected. I updated some code on the Pico 2, ejected the drive letter (K:), unplugged the cable, re-plugged the cable and now the filesystem seems "stuck". If I try to...

Thanks! I'll give it a look.

Odd thing is I didn't have this issue on my old Laptop, so there must be some condition that stops it from working, instead of being more like a bug. You think this would be something they would fix quickly.

I just received a new laptop running Windows 11 and I have a problem with the "date modified" not always updating on folders... When I edit/update a file within a folder, the folders "Date Modified" is not always being updated. It does not appear to matter which app I use to modify the contents...

I'm running on a 4K screen with a high DPI mouse (M305). My mouse pad is VERY slick. When I click, the mouse tends to move a little. This causes my click to appear like a drag to Windows. I know I can reduce the sensitivity on the mouse, but then it takes several strokes to get my mouse across...

Just to follow up... It looks like a caching issue. If I modify a file (rename, delete, etc.) then the missing photos will appear.
