PC keeps getting BSODs ?
Hey everyone... Not a big techy person and I'm at the point of frustration where i have no idea what's causing these BSOD anymore.. I've tried numerous things on youtube/google to solve the issues but they keep happening i would really appreciate some help if possible to try and solve this issue. I will randomly blue screen or my pc will restart sometimes when I'm gaming or even just watching a youtube video. At first i thought it was just my ram so i went out and spent 150$ on new ram.... but it has continued to keep getting BSOD even after the new sticks went in. If I'm lucky i can go a few hours without a bluescreen but sometimes if i blue screen it will do it every 5 minutes or so until it gives up and lets me play for a while - Im not sure if there is a setting that's wrong in my pc or anything but i have tried many things to even check for outdated drivers and to my knowledge i have it all updated. I have even tried resetting my pc and keeping personal files..Copy to clipboard very slow with the snipping tool
I had this issue that with windows 11, for some reason the windows copy to clipboard took a while, like a two or three second delay between the screenshot was taken and it being copied, and I was looking for a solution, and so far nobody had a real solution but I think I found a good one to fix this without disabling snipping tool.Windows 11 WiFi driver
I have a question about where to install drivers for my pc, some just install and it's good to go some ask a path. I am trying to install my Wi-Fi driver and it shows a path its going to and under that is shows device name and says (no suitable driver?) and the option to install is grayed out. I don't get it I am trying to install the drivers and it says no suitable driver. system is windows 11 64 pro mobo is MSI z790 tomahawk max also, if anyone know how to do this on windows 10, a friend has this board and there's no support for Wi-Fi driver in windows 10? I mean it's not windows 7 or me.
Accessing a third-party NAS with SMB in Windows 11 24H2 may fail (Work Around)
So as we all know that Windows 11 24H2 created an issue for us that have older NAS products and have been using it for years and the fact that they still work, points to this topic write. I believe in to the point solutions without all the GIGO. This fix is an attempt to restore the SMB settings back to what they were before the update 24H2. One important thing here is that it allows me to access the OLD NAS by its network name address Eg: /serverName/sharedFolder But it did not allow me to access my NAS using its IP.. further research needed. Good luck and here it is: First if you are using a Windows Home edition, add the gpeditj (Policy Editor) Put this inside a *.bat file and run in a command windows opened with admin rights. add_gpedit.bat =========== echo off pushd "%~dp0" dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i" pause FIX SMB CONNECTION after 24H2 Update on Windows 11 In Registry: Navigate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters Look for: AllowInsecureGuestAuth → If it exists, set it to 1. (If not, create a DWORD (32-bit) value and set it to 1.) Find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters Modify or add these registry entries: RequireSecuritySignature: Set this to 0 (if it was set to 1). EnableSecuritySignature: Set this to 0 (if it was set to 1). Enable plain text password: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters If the value EnablePlainTextPassword exists, set it to 0 (or delete it) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters Set RequireSecuritySignature to 0 if it was set previously. In Windows Features: Make sure SMB is on and uncheck the removal one Only check the Cleint SMB Then in Powershell: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol-Client -NoRestart gpedit.msc Enable Guest Access for SMB2 Navigate: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation Find: Enable insecure guest logons Enable it. Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options Look for the policy: Microsoft network client: Send unencrypted password to third-party SMB servers Make sure it is : Not Defined or Disabled if it exists. Default SMB setting: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options Find these two policies and set both to "Not Configured" or "Disabled" (depending on the previous state): Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always) Also check if these are enabled: Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees) Disabled Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (if client agrees) Enabled Then Apply then OK secpol.msc Navigate: Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options Find: Network security: LAN Manager authentication level Set it to: Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated On the TCP/IPv4: Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP under properties Update NFS Mapping in Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default Add or modify these DWORD values: AnonymousUid = 0 AnonymousGid = 0 NOT REALLY NEEDED BUT HELPFUL wsl --install -d Ubuntu
Black Screen and Spinning Cursor after startup
When i turn my PC on, I get a black screen and a spinning cursor. I have turned my computer off and on over 20 times now. I have tried to uninstall latest quality update and latest feature update in advanced options but still doesn't work. I have tried system restore and thay didn't work either. I have enabled safe mode but I run into a blue screen saying we encountered a problem. Tried to go into BIOS but not sure what to do there. I am lost on what to try next. I did download the latest nvidias graphics card driver or something like that the night before and it was fine and then this morning when I opened my computer I now can't get in.
What is the best dvd ripping software for Windows 11/10?
Hi all, My dad has dozen of DVD movies and personal videos. Some of them already got scratched heavily. Fortunately, they are still working when connected to a DVD player. My dad asks me to take a backup of the DVDs on a digital storage on a computer or external hard drive. I tried the built-in Windows Media Player but it won't allow me ripping the DVD discs. Can some one recommend the best dvd ripping software that still works in 2025 on Windows 11? It seems most of the free ones no long work and no update for years. Thank you
