Thank you. You are a wonderful educator! I've bookmarked this post so I can come back to the links and the many good tips you've given. Cheers!

Greetings again. I was battling with HP late into the night yesterday, trying to get answer to simple question: What is the year & month of manufacture of the HP laptop I bought. It is boldly advertised as 2023 on Amazon, but for some reason I got suspicious after reading an HP page stating...

I think I misunderstood this info from you: "....there's a link to warranty details which might also contain useful data. Is it activated with a digital licence? Settings, System, Activation. If it is activated with a digital licence, if it originally came with Windows 11 & if its battery...

That took longer than expected - sorry, life got in the way of computer fun. Settings>System>Activation shows "Activated" for warranty. Battery health report shows Design & Capacity the same, so all good there. It has been plugged in almost this entire past 3 weeks since I got it. CPU-Z...

What a blessing and great teacher you are, Denis. I will get back on all this tomorrow and report more. I was able to quickly do the battery check and Design & Full Capacity match, so at least that part is good. More soon.

The day I got it I went to register the warranty and the HP webpage (auto-scans the computer, so no user input errors) reported the warranty had expired mid year of 2023. So I went ballistic. That's when I first reached out to Amazon, then the seller, then Amazon etc. No joy from them but I...

Greetings Denis and thank you so much for helping me learn about best way to get screenshots posted. I will definitely use that from now on. And I apologize - I named the laptop in error. "HP 14 R3 Burst" Ad at Amazon claims it is new as of 2023. (Amazon.com) There are quite a few buyer...

I enjoyed reading everything you'd already posted about the Modern Standby setting and thought about it in terms of my Lenovo ThinkPad. That machine is running very nicely. This HP Blast 14, however, also has ME feeling highly suspicious. After reading quite a few Amazon reviews of this item...

Hello Try3. It was because the way this device came out of the box, all the lights & fan would stay on all night if I didn't create an auto-shutdown. Otherwise a human would have had to do it manually every night, and we never remember to go in there to do that. Then the sound of the fan and...

It worked! I'm ecstatic! Without the W10 and W11 forum site, I think most of us MS users would be insane by now. Bless all of you SO much. I bookmarked the info and I'm sure I'll use it again in future.

Thank you so much, Try3. I will do that this weekend when I go back to wrestling that HP computer. I will report back here. Cheers!

I used your CMD to find out what power states I have on an HP 14 Boost laptop (just received w/i last 2 wks, purchased new). The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby (S3) Hibernate Hybrid Sleep Fast Startup So I have S3, which from this discussion is...
