Add custom notification for specific websites in Windows 11?
I want to create notifications for specific websites like Facebook - edge in the picture. I tried to give similar notification permission to some other websites, like YouTube on Edge. Still, when I go to the Windowssettings, I see nothing related to YouTube, as in the picture.
Windows 11 Home Can't Find License Key
After a recent update, my version of Windows 11 Home is now having issues validating my product key and asking me to reactivate. I've had the PC for almost a year and have had no major issues until I updated/restarted a couple of days ago. I also get the Activate Windows text in the bottom right corner of my screen. After doing a little web search it seems like there was a similar problem years ago, but couldn't find a solution that worked for my situation. Anyone else having this problem and find a fix? I can't even adjust my sound output anymore, which is pretty annoying. Thanks in advance!
I keep getting errors trying to download windows 11
A couple of days ago, I got a new ASUS Vivobook 15 M1505Y, and I've been trying to install Windows on it. For the first few days, I kept getting error code 0xE0000100. Today, I tried reinstalling Windows with the hope that the problem was with the old USB I was using. However, with a brand-new USB, I am now getting error code 0x80070002. Could the problem be with my laptop's SSD? Can someone suggest a solution?
Upgrade to 24H2 de-activated Windows
I upgraded to 24H2 earlier this week. It took a while but finally everything looked OK. I was previously on 23H2 (and wish I'd stayed on that version). I'm now getting prompted to activate Windows. I have a pro key which I purchased when I built this PC in January 2024. I've never had problems with this key. So I tried Troubleshoot but no solution. I then went to Change Key, and entered my existing key. It wouldn't accept the key, with the error message Key already used. Of course it has been used - to activate this very PC. I haven't changed any hardware in the 11 months since I built it. Anyone have any ideas? Microsoft tech support is not answering their phone this week apparently.
How to Replace an Unauthorized Windows 11 Product Key with a Genuine Key?
I initially installed Windows 11 from an unauthorized source, which activated with an OEM key. However, this installation caused severe performance issues, including lagging in various areas such as: The taskbar (e.g., dropdowns in Wi-Fi settings). File Explorer (slow response). Any installed software. Overall sluggishness after starting up. To resolve this, I downloaded the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft's website and performed a clean installation using a bootable USB and a different Microsoft account, I done this 3 times. Despite this, the unauthorized product key still shows as active in the system. I’ve already tried deactivating the key using Command Prompt (slmgr /upk), but it didn’t work. Here are my questions: If I enter my purchased genuine product key, will it overwrite the unauthorized key and make my installation fully official? How can I ensure all unauthorized activators or remnants from the previous installation are completely removed?
Windows 11 Pro for Workstation. Broken features, lack of support.
There are two reasons I wanted to deploy workstation edition for a new system I'm working on. ReFS and RDMA. I'm unable to use ReFS and in my research and troubleshooting I've found out there is very little support, documentation and knowledgeable people in Microsoft that can help. Workstation edition was properly installed from the start. I've tested the ISO available at the download windows 11 site and the visual studio Business Edition ISO. I've tested both 23H2 and 24H2. ReFS is not available as a filesystem option in explorer's context menu, storage spaces or disk manager. Creating a storage space volume in PowerShell and setting returns an error that the filesystem is not supported. I suspect there might be a problem with my work account and the Windows Business Digital license it applies. I brought the issue up with MS365 support, but they didn't want to take it and pushed me off to the team for activation support. They weren't helpful, they didn't know much about workstation edition. I can see both the key and digital subscription are both active. There's absolutely no documentation regarding any of the features workstation edition enables. Even when starting support tickets or reviewing windows documentation there is no mention of workstation edition. There is an option for enterprise edition. I'm at a loss of how Microsoft supports this edition of windows and where to get any help.How to Replace an Unauthorized Windows 11 Product Key with a Genuine Key?
