For Wi-Fi to work in Safe Mode it must be enabled before booting in Safe Mode. If you disable it and restart in Safe Mode you can't enable it.

Simplest solution for a problematic Wi-Fi adapter is to buy a wireless USB dongle. Cheap dongles are usually 802.11n reaching speeds of 120-150Mbps. If you want greater speed you need a newer standard such as 802.11ac or 802.11ax but these are more expensive. With both Wi-Fi adapters there...

He means any newer that also removes this feature. You cannot avoid updating forever but you can pause Windows Update until Winaero or someone else finds a workaround.

Looks like Windows Update replaced your Wi-Fi drivers with faulty ones. Visit the motherboard (computer) manufacturer support site and download the latest Wi-Fi drivers from there. Installing them should hopefully fix your issue. No need to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2 but why not, as soon as you...

Like with any problematic update, uninstall it, block it and wait for a newer update that makes that obsolete.

You would normally upgrade to Windows 11 25H2 26200.9168 using the 25H2 Enablement Package, but since you have issues you might want to do an in-place upgrade/repair using the ISO (full upgrade). So download the latest ISO from Microsoft, mount it (Open with File Explorer) and run Setup to upgrade.

By removing is making it optional or not available at all? Usually Winaero comes with some trick to "retro-fit" old tools in Windows 11. Just check his website and he might upload one sometime later.

As I understand Point in Time Restore is automatic? Can't you create a point at will? This makes it even more useless for me. I prefer the "traditional" System Restore.

I compared "traditional" System Restore with the modern Point in Time Restore. The new one includes personal files and other data, so it is useful when you lost a file or is damaged but it can be a disaster if it removes any new files or restores old versions losing your recent changes. I would...

Microsoft Windows is known for its backwards compatibility and familiar user interface. That means you can use your old applications and games to some extent on Windows 11. You can even use most 64-bit drivers, even Vista 64-bit drivers when no newer are available. If Microsoft breaks this...

So if you limit the screensaver resolution to the primary monitor resolution doesn't work? I am not sure if I have this screensaver, I will try it.

But if starting from scratch will take some days to reinstall and reconfigure everything again, I could tolerate some minor bugs. Even after installing everything the new system feels odd because it never is exactly what you had. It takes some time to get used to. That's why I prefer to upgrade...

I remember in Windows 95/98 that each change to the system saved a Registry backup. If anything went wrong and Windows could not load you could boot into DOS and use the scanreg tool to restore an older version of the Registry and fix it. This in Windows ME and later was replaced by System...

I am not sure, but utilities such as CCleaner are supposed to find Registry errors and fix them.
