this helped. i found the option hidden in BBS priorities. I was able to select m1 to boot first. you can see my drive loadout... if i wanted to fully eliminate the other broken boot option, is it as simple as deleting the efi partition on that drive?

my reboot broke. It's supposed to boot from disk3, but it doesn't automatically find the boot file or whatever. I have to go into the bios and boot override into disk3 to start windows. Bios allows me to boot override from disk0 or disk3. Windows starts fine when I manually select disk3. Now I...

I want to log all the instances when my second display randomly gets disconnected. i don't see any log entries in event viewer. is there a hack or tool that can log when display gets disconnected? display settings shows the 2nd display disappearing, but you have to catch it realtime. i want...

I kept hearing the device disconnect/connect sound. That's why I looked at the event viewer. Today my TV ( connected to my graphics card hdmi port) status light lit up just as I heard the sound again, and sure enough, I have a bunch of event viewer errors at the exact time. i dunno why windows...

How do i read these codes, and where do you fix them?

I want to start the hotspot as soon as pc reboots, or if not, as soon as I login. There is a usb wifi adapter in my pc. It's like the people giving this advice didn't actually test if it works? https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+11+hotspot+start+on+reboot netsh wlan start hostednetwork...

i was able to reactivate when i tried again.

My microsoft account shows my current machine as linked to my digital license. However when I try to reactivate my current machine, it is not showing up in the window. I installed windows 10 on a separate partition to troubleshoot something, and when I logged back into my Windows 11 partition...

unfortunately didn't work with game mode off. when i minimize Handbrake window, the cpu usage drops, until I make the window visible again. interestingly, the e-cores shift to 100% load.

when i'm encoding a video via command line, and I minimize the window, cpu usage drops from 100% to 25% I have to keep the command window visible on current desktop to keep cpu pinned to 100%. If I move the cmd window to another virtual desktop that is not in focus, cpu usage also drops big...

win11 pro KB5010386 was just installed and my pc auto rebooted overnight even though my group policy was set to "do not restart while user is logged in," which I was. Also, my group policy is set to notify updates only. No auto downloading. Yet, this update was somehow downloaded. I did not...

ran slmgr /upk made another partition, clean installed windows 10. activated. made microsoft account. digital license linked to microsoft account. upgraded to win 11 on new partition. using microsoft online account. booted to old deactivated win11 partition with local account, and it...

it does nothing. When I set this up, I did not make a microsoft account, only a local account. A microsoft account probably would have averted this issue. Since I didn't register a microsoft account, I can't use the hardware change option to fix this deactivation. but as I said before...

I've been using this pc for almost 2 months. this morning I accidentally set a photo as desktop wallpaper. so i went to right click desktop, Personalize and changed it back to solid color. At this time, there was no "not activated" watermark or error. Obviously if it wasn't activated, I would...
