Selling old desktop: how to add new user and remove myself
It's been so long since I did this trick that I've forgotten how, so I'm showing my ignorance by asking for your help. I have added a new user (with name of new owner), but he doesn't show in C:\Users. And I automatically log in on this desktop without a login procedure or password. I need to get a login screen with the new user's name on it, log him in (as admin), and delete my local account. Help needed. 1) Add new user with admin privileges; 2) log in as new user; 3) remove my account and profile from users.
What's the Best VPN in 2025?
Hey, I am a newbie! I am looking for the best VPN providers and am interested to know what is the best VPN of 2025 according to Microsoft MVPs. I have tried lots of different free VPNs but they are not of so worth. So, I have decided to purchase a paid VPN. So, I am here to explore more about VPNs and get some reviews from you guys. I have made up a list of a few VPNs in which I am interested. But I am not sure which one would be the best VPN of 2025. Here's a few list of best VPNs that I have came across: 1. NordVPN: A VPN for which I have heard that there are lots of servers across the globe and offers fast speed for streaming. 2. ExpressVPN: Another remarkable VPN that is known for privacy protection to keep your data secure and have a pretty transparent setup. 3. PIA VPN: It is well known for its server network and offers multiple devices connection to keep your devices connected. 4. Surfshark: This VPN gets more attention and allows you to connect multiple devices and have a buzz that works well for users. 5. ProtonVPN: It is more known for its privacy and security. Thus, this VPN offers a free trial as well but the paid plan has more advanced features. I'd love to know your thoughts on the best VPN of 2025 as well.

As shown in the screenshot attachment, when using the exFAT file system as the system volume to run the latest version of Windows 11 Build 27686, the following bugs exist: 1. When the Shim DataBase file exists, the system UWP such as the start menu and settings cannot be opened. If you delete the file named "RandomGUID.sysmain.sdb" in the "C:\Windows\apppatch\MergeSdbFilesSource" directory, or delete the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\SdbUpdates" item, the problem can be solved. This bug has existed since Win11 v22H2 two years ago and has not been fixed yet. 2. When the Smart App Control function is in the evaluation or enabled state, the operating system will run very slowly. If you set it to off in app & browser control in Windows Security, or directly change the "VerifiedAndReputablePolicyState" key value in the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CI\Policy" to "0" to turn it off, the problem can be solved. This bug has existed since Win11 v22H2 two years ago and has not been fixed yet. 3. Check Disk Utility will throw an error when checking exFAT volumes with a total number of clusters between 2^30 and 2^32 (that is, the FAT table size is between 4GB and 16GB), but in fact the volume is completely normal and not damaged. In addition, according to the exFAT file system specification, a single exFAT volume can have a maximum of 4294967295 allocation units, which means that the maximum partition capacity supported by formatting with 4KB clusters is 4096Byte×2^32Byte=16TB. However, when trying to load a volume of this size, it takes a long time to complete the operation, which may be another bug. 4. The change partition size function in the disks & volumes in the new system storage settings will cause file system corruption and loss of all data when operating on exFAT volumes. If the volume is a system partition, it will immediately trigger BSOD and cause the OS to completely crash and fail to start. This is a very dangerous bug. 5. When the system Blue Screen of Death occurs, the DUMP file cannot be generated normally in the exFAT volume. This seems to be a bug in exfat.sys. 6. When the system volume is exFAT, the hiberfil.sys file cannot be created normally, resulting in the inability to use the hybrid boot function. The 0xc0000010 error will also be prompted through command line operations. This seems to be a bug in exfat.sys. 7. Every time try to run a user UWP app such as Microsoft Store, the AppX Deployment Service will repeatedly stop abnormally, causing the UWP program to crash immediately. This seems to be a bug in AppXDeploymentServer.dll. Please fix these bugs, thanks! In addition, it usually takes a long time to boot Windows in the exFAT volume. Can you optimize the boot speed of exFAT system volumes in OS Loader?Feature Request: Enhanced system restore UI like virtualization software
Hi Microsoft dev community, I insist implementing functionality to take snapshot/restore actual hard drive system restore restores pc back in time in case of issues but not as user friendly as any virtualization software like vmware Just as virtualization software there can be a more advanced version of system restore application where there will be UI for: 1. taking snapshot of current state 2. option to list snapshots 3. restore any snapshot back in time Maybe based on Hyper-V, Maybe this feature already there but I have not found it originally posted here: https://superuser.com/q/1855140/86839Quality Updates Learn More sites are not found error
I am getting an error every time I select Learn More in Update History " Quality Updates". The websites are not found. Just wondering if this is a known issue for windows insider build that I am also running now. I have attached screenshots to explain more about the issue. All the KB Articles cannot be found.
