All of a sudden I noticed Media Player 11 ver. 11.2603.12.0/Win11 25H2 build 26200.8328 (I didn't launch for months) is missing ALL artist images. Album images are ok and loaded as expected instead. I already tried to toggle "Settings > Look up missing album art and artist art online" but...

Or... follow this old guide from tenforums: Can't read older *.hlp files on Windows-10 - Windows 10 Help Forums (Sorry for necro-posting but I think it can still be useful in 2026)

Very strange... are you using latest EGL client? You have to look into logfile: %LocalAppData%\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Logs\EpicGamesLauncher.log why it fails. You can try with the exact adapter number of your iGPU (will be in the log: "DeviceId: ", f.e. my iGPU is: -ExplicitAdapterValue=a788)...

Modified the guide. It seems the correct value to use is 0 = iGPU, not the deviceId hex-number.

Very strange it crashes: should gracefully fall back to whatever your GPU is at the moment (iGPU first, or dGPU just in case). It does here. Do you have an external screen? Do you have Advanced Optimus (MUX switch doesn't require reboot for dGPU-only mode) or just Optimus? Can you provide me...

... wanted to add this parameter in some of the INIs in path: "%LocalAppData%\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor" but I didn't manage it.

We know the issue: EGL a while ago decided to privilege at launch dGPU over iGPU on (Advanced) Optimus systems (e.g. laptops with iGPU and dGPU). This can be a problem wasting a lot of energy by background task 'epicgameslauncher.exe' (x64)... After many (failed) attempts I've found a working...

As I said, it resolved itself a couple of days ago doing nothing...

Same here (Onedrive works just fine): ... but I learned a while ago that, for the sake of your sanity, it's sometimes best to just ignore Windows' odd behavior—its quirks tend to resolve themselves on their own after a while 😉

Fixed with September 9, 2025—KB5065426 (OS Build 26100.6584), more than 9 months later, at last... ;)

Win 11 24H2 (26100.4652) All of a sudden, after updates KB5062553, KB5056579 I got the same strange error for the first time... This registry fix (deleting missing devices keys) seems to have worked: here is it (as backup): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00...

Action! (Mirillis) video recorder/streaming tool

Thank you.

Password recovery disk option is gone? Can't I switch to that other solution after I already set the SQ?

In this article (for Win10) it is said answers are saved in clear: Perché le domande di sicurezza di Windows 11 NON sono sicure | IlSoftware.it Is it still the same under Win11? Can't them be disabled? Or is it possible to switch to recovery password disk?
