All my USB sticks and the 4TB NVME enclosure are recognized as boot devices. They just won't run, heh. I got a couple of things to run now. The newer ASUS boards have an issue with this, hopefully it will be fixed via a BIOS update 🤞Updated my computer specs, so folks know what board I am having...

K, Clonezilla worked by choosing the VGA option. Might be a graphics driver issue. Updating NVidia driver for RTX 4090 card. Another difference from my first boot up of the mobo.

Did a BIOS update with no luck. One difference between when I first booted up and earlier today was a BIOS update.

EDIT: not solved but not for this forum! I realize that Windows has NOTHING to do with this, as I am attempting to boot OTHER OSs with my USB, etc. Ignore this post, heh. I mean like nothing. Acronis Image CD hangs with mouse and keyboard unlit, Acronis Image on USB (GPT via Rufus) hangs...

Ran the .msu download, updated a few things, and suddenly I have 25H2. I thought I would have to use the .iso, heh. That was painless.

Yep! NVidia overlay, to be precise.

Solved. NVidia overlay in the NVidia app was turned on when Hades started running. I turned it off in the NVidia app, and it fixed my taskbar issue with maximized Chrome as well. My bad. I am going to leave it here in case someone else gets bit by this.

I loaded in Hades game from Steam and this popped up on my screen (I also plugged in a controller for the game). I uninstalled the game and checked to see if there was a new startup program in Task Manager. I suspect that it is preventing me from seeing my task bar when Chrome is maximized. It...

I too am missing the system tray icons and the date and clock on the taskbar. ASUS mobo. Turning off Startallback did not fix it.

That works, thanks. The .jxr image looks OK at first glance as I can see a flash from too bright to normal until I try using it, then the light bloom occurs again. The .png image is excellent and I can create another screenshot for cropping and pasting. Windows key and G to pull up the Windows...

LOTS of BSOD errors with this build as well. NDIS.SYS which is a network adapter failure. I reloaded the driver back to Intel's version rather than MS version. Hopefully, it helps.

Interesting that I now have TWO instances where I have seen an update of Win 11 causing changes to the BIOS. Yes, the BIOS. ASUS BIOS and on two different mobos. My friend who has my previous mobo and CPU had his update change his boot drive to nothing so it didn't boot. This update changed my...

I leave my computer running 24/7 for a Plex server. I have noticed three times now that when I wake up in the morning or when the computer is idle for a few hours the computer is completely shut down. Never happened before this build. I wonder what it is?
