It's only allowing me to partition 44gbs. This device is fully reset, defragged, cache wiped. Im not sure what else I can do. Can anyone help please. I've been googling for days trying different methods. Defrag, Terminal, Factory reset which was done twice, I even tried searching for the files that might be causing the issue. No dice. Please help :(

I had a problem with my username having a space character in it which caused some problems when using other programs. I followed this tutorial: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-name-of-user-profile-folder-in-windows-11.2133/

Little did I know I missed the most important step in it, the 1st one where I had to log off and use an admin account to actually rename my user folder at the end (I wasn't aware of how to switch to an admin account, so I tried what was said in Step 2, but still didn't have admin permissions, therefore I still didn't have permission to rename my folder). I thought I finished and decided to restart to apply changes. Before that I noticed I still couldn't rename the folded like I had to in step 11, and I created a new folder after completing step 8. Then I was met with a warning, telling me to log off my profile, telling me that any changes I'd make wouldn't be saved. I'm now on a "temporary" profile and tried changing all back and fix everything by logging in as an admin (the admin button on the log in screen just popped up so I used it). For a few seconds I thought my Windows was about to reinstall but thankfully it booted up fine. Still, it was the same "temp" profile so I kept trying to go back.

Now that I was actually able to change my folder's name, I changed the original user folder's name to the new name I wanted to set up, but there already was a folder with my new name, and Windows asked me if I wanted to replace the other folder with the original one. I decided to replace it. All data is in the new-named folder, but still I can't access it. I have no idea how to fix this. At some point, a backup file was automatically created. The original user folder now has the "AppData" folder, from it I copied all the files there were before by replacing the new-named folder. (Also I can't send any screenshots of the problem because when I try to open the screenshots, I get an error saying they couldn't be found, sorry). (And I'm also not native english, sorry again if you had trouble reading all this.

Due to a handling error, I reset my computer and then I found myself on this blue screen and I can't even when I try to remove updates to delete all data, I tried everything believe me, but nothing works not even the YouTube tutorials thank you for helping me

recent got a dell precision 5540 with windows 11 24h2 installed on it, when i signed into my microsoft account i've noticed that all my saved wifi password are gone is there a way to fix it without formatting and going back to 23h2? Didnt notice the issue

I don't know what the hell is happening with Explorer but it has become extremely slow to the point of being unusable.

The simple task of opening and navigating within folders is tiring because I have to wait at least a minute for it to open.

I have a Desktop with a Ryzen 5 5600g, 32gb ram and rtx 4070. This kind of thing shouldn't be happening.

Winver: Version 23H2 Build 22631.4460

The Windows 10 file explorer doesn't load. It keeps getting stuck on "working on it", but nothing happens. I've tried closing and reopening it, I've tried force restarting it through the task manager, I've tried restarting my computer, and nothing helps. It seems like this is a common issue on Microsoft's support site, but nobody has found a solution.

I know it's an old version but it has been working ok, and I don't use it enough to warrant $20 a month for CC. However, the other day I tried to fire it up and got this error:

(well, except it wasn't the setup, it was the regular program)

I thought it had just gotten itself messed up yet again. It freaks out if I close it and the window is on my second screen. Never was able to fix that, so I would just reinstall it and get everything back to normal.

So I tried to do that again. NO LUCK. It stalls during the installing files step

I googled and then went into the security properties and set my ID to full permissions. Tried Run as Administrator. Made sure admins have all permissions. Still the same error every time.

Anybody got other ideas to try???

I accidentally logged-in with my school account managed by government and after realising my mistake and disconnecting it from settings, restarting and even turning my user account from a microsoft one to a local one there are still some settings managed by my organization.
I have tried googling for an answer, but basically all of them are just so you disconnect the account, which I did.

I would like to know if there's anything I can change in the Group Policy Editor or the registry.

There aren't that many restrictions, but they are still noticeable and quite annoying (i.e. I can't change the Get the latest updates as soon as they're available setting)

I have Windows 11 Pro 23H2

So, as the title implies, i cannot boot windows. We believe it ate its own boot partition, but i think something worse is amiss. We can kinda force into a windows boot but everything is gone and we cant really access much. From the recovery screen, the repair tools, recovery tools, and hell even cmd doesnt work. I am out of ideas. Ive tried a recovery drive, i connected it and tried all the cmd stuff again along with its intended tools (repair/recovery) nd those failed. I just dont know what i can do. I have a recovery drive so in theory id like to just delete everything and start him fresh. It sucks, but its been months like this and he just wants his computer. I appreciate any advice :(

Edit From bios its got bios vers. B550M-C AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3900Mhz processor

Windows 11 Home version 23H2

As title says, this started like a week ago and hence 3-4 times now I have had to log on (including verifying on my phone so it gets annoying), and each time it has deleted my PIN and requires me to create one. (at least it lets me keep using the same one.)

I simply can't stand it. Does anyone know why this happens and/or how to fix it?

i think it is running on windows 10, but i am not sure. i used this laptop 6-7 years ago without issue but now i can’t remember the password and need to factory reset it. it keeps giving me a message that “additional free space is needed on the drive where windows is installed. free up some space and try again.” but i cannot get into the computer to even free up any space. im quite frustrated and im not sure what exactly to do. im far from tech savvy so explain it like im 12. thank you for any help you can provide.

I am using a laptop with an AMD microphone, and I can use my microphone in other games and on Discord, but it doesn't work in Sea of Thieves. Also, when I run the Windows microphone test, it only picks up 2% of my voice. Additionally, in the volume mixer, the Xbox Game Bar volume level is stuck at 1. Please help!

I booted up my PC from sleep this morning and when I put my PIN in I was told "Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available (code: 0x8028008b). Click to set up your pin again." I then rebooted my pc to see if that would work, which it did and it let me sign in, but I still have no idea as to what could have caused the error. I put my pc into sleep mode a few times after to see if it would pop back up and it has not done it again, but it still does not stop my worrying. I have run a quick scan of Windows Defender, which came up with nothing. Any help?

I am using Windows 24H2. In task manager, I am able to enable startup for normal apps properly but for Microsoft Store apps, once I click enable then close task manager, the option immediately reverts to disabled. When I try enabling startup in the apps itself such as phone link or translucenttb, the option is grayed out and says administrator has disabled this setting. I've tried all the DISM and SFC SCANNOW and I've also tried doing a safeboot and it still doesn't work. The startup page in windows settings is also gone

So when I go to connect to my internet it says it’s 4 bar but when I connect it’s 1 bar and when I get out of the connection tab it’s no bars and is just gray and sometime later it will just turn off. It’s not my internet modem because I tried my phones data and it’s the same story so any help will be greatly appreciated

I recently did a fresh install on my new rig with its Asus ProArt X670E Creator Wifi board and for the life of me I'm unable to get Bitlocker to not keep booting into recovery mode everytime when I disable secure boot in the UEFI settings.

My older rig with its ASUS PRIME TRX40 Pro-S and currently running Win11 Pro 23H2 edition has Bitlocker working just fine with secure boot disabled in the UEFI.

Now I don't recall if I installed the older OS after modifying it via Rufus to make secure boot optional (I didn't do this for the new install) so wanted to check whether anyone here knows why I'm facing this difference in behaviour.

I swear I read online secure boot is optional for Bitlocker so wondering whether Win11 Pro 24H2 has changed the requirement or there's some issue with my new mobo UEFI settings or some other PEBKAC thing.

PS:

An interesting comment from someone on another forum - maybe I should have had secure boot option disabled BEFORE (during) installation of Win11 Pro 24H2 so that it would work without issues.

Now, I can reformat everything and reinstall to see whether this is true or not, but before I proceed to do that, does anyone know of a way to fix this issue via a Windows setting like maybe in the Registry or something like that?

Double clicking on a shortcut brings up properties, on chrome can’t type in anything or enter any bookmarked websites, same with all other applications, can’t right click on anything. How can I fix?

I've been trying to connect to the internet ever since yesterday, but every time I try to type the password into the password bar, what I type never registers to go through. I've reset my laptop at least 7 times to see if it's just being funny, but the results have been the same. My keyboard works since I know it tends to he a bit finicky. And I am able to type any and everywhere else. I also realized when trying to exit the pop up, it doesn't cancel or move unless I reset my laptop again.

Does anyone know what might be happening? Also, sorry if my post is not that great, it's my first time posting here :(

Anybody has this problem? I have not been able to solve it... Sometimes on right-click it takes 5 seconds to open the context menu... Sometimes when changing folders it feels like its going to hang and it takes seconds to open or allow interaction.

Honestly file handling is the most basic stuff for an OS, how can it be so bad.

Hi, so I'm working at a company where I'm unable to explain to the staff that Win+P exists, nor that they can just take the window and drag it to the other monitor when doing a presentation. So, I created a .bat file for that, which runs on startup. However, when they connect the projector after startup, Windows defaults to extended display instead of duplicating the screen, and then they call me to fix it.

I figured the easiest way would be to use Task Scheduler, but I'm unable to locate the right trigger for my .bat file. I managed to find the event when PowerPoint starts, which I could use as a trigger, but a better option would be the event after connecting the projector. Unfortunately, I'm unable to locate it, and suggestions from ChatGPT, like Kernel-PnP Event 410, don't work. When I look in the event log, I only see Kernel-PnP Event 1010, which also doesn't trigger my .bat file.

Was doing 3D & After effects on my MSI katana laptop (windows 11), however both programs crashed so i thought it'll be good to restart to free up some memory & cache. HOWEVER, it's now stuck on the loading screen, it's not even moving, it's FROZEN💀

I tried to long press my power button, pressed f8 repeatedly, win + x + power button, ctrl + shift + win + b. NO RESULTS.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLS😭🙏 I HAVE A DEADLINE IN A FEW DAYS💀💀

Hey everyone, as you can see whenever in the image, whenever I try to trim a video through the default video software it doesnt give me the option to just save it, only to save as a copy.

Anyone else have that problem? And if yes any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
