I've been using the Windows 11 bulit in closed captioning option since it first became avialble. Works great. BUT I have NEVER been able to get the actual display opacity to work. I want a normal CC of white text only onto the desktop with the JUST the text displayed only. Everything else...

Due to a failing battery in a UPS I had an unexpected Windows shut down. After the UPS was repaired I turned on the PC, and noticed the "Windows was not properly shut down" error as I was rechecking the PC. I have a single 1 TB SSD partitioned into 2 500 GB drives and the 2nd drive has...

Normally I have 2 people listed on the above screen. Me and Admin. But I don't have any users listed since this problem started. The circled area in your screen shot is blank on my screen. I'll have to take a picture with a camera as nothing on that screen works except the login fields and...

Strange problem? I use a pin # to start up or access three PCs. All have different PINs. I have one PC (an HTPC) that is used for almost everything and is never turned off. Was testing a program involving accessing a remote USB storage device and needed to restart the PC. Normally when it...

I believe I've solved this problem. Been running now with no more errors for most the day. I'll wait a couple more days and when I can confirm the fix worked I'll post here. I only needed to do a proper reset of the main board's CMOS.

Update .. I "think" I found what caused this problem. Got an idea to fix but want to do more research. I've BEEN doing all the suggestions and solutions we've talked about so far and I have to say most of them I have already done. But there were a couple (new to me) things previously posted...

Thanks zbook and glasskuter. Guess I've got a lot of info to digest. I'll need a couple days to go thru everything. It's somewhat complicated because in my twilight years I do a lot of movie and TV watching. <grin> And the PC in question is never shut off (except if there is a problem or...

Thanks .. Requested file attached

Thanks VERY much ... Yes it is strange. I HAVE removed the PC and put it on my work bench. And It was sitting there with the following connected (being tested every which way possible for a week).. external 19v power supply. GB NIC port (via cat8 cable to gb router) 1 of the two availble...

Small mini-pc (BeeLink SEi 8 Intel proc.) 16 GB Ram, 1 TB storage, 1 GB lan, 4K HDMI vs 2 graphics. This is long (sorry) This PC is about a year old. And has had no issues up until July 10th this year. I believe the problem started with two updates which were: 2024-07 Cumulative Update for...

Oh my. My first time here in this form has not disappointed. Very good info from all for me to digest. Thank you. I'm already familiar with, and had tried some of the suggestions. I appreciate the time and effort to help. I get the feeling that "TechnoMage2021" may be a "kindred...
