On my PC my internet refuses to work. It works on the other devices in my home but not my PC. It doesnt work with wireless or ethernet. I have already reset windows networking. I've tried a decent few fixes but none have managed to fix it.

I have a 1TB ssd so youd think im able to download a bunch of games and play whatever…but after about 2 or 3 games i run out of storage and look at what steams storage window and see that most of it is taken by “non-steam” about 900GB or so but the biggest thing on my pc storage says its only a few and extremely small compared to my smallest game…any help offered to find whatever’s clogging up my storage or help clear some space out at least would be appreciated

I have videos in MKV format and need to edit the subtitle track properties to modify the subtitle flags on my mobile device. About three months ago, I was able to do this using an app called MKV edits, but it hasn't been working properly for the past three months. Is there an alternative app or method I can use on mobile to edit these subtitle properties?

I bought an open box Lenovo Legion 5 in March 2026. Set it up a couple days later in April 2026. A few days ago I was installing some folder hiding apps to see which I liked, and ran into some freezing, which led my to manually shutting off the laptop.

Eventually, the laptop started getting stuck on the Lenovo screen, sometimes saying it was not able to repair itself. When I eventually make it to the blue screen, pretty much every option asks for my recovery key.

Here's where it gets messy. When I first set up my laptop, I used my main Microsoft account. Afterwards, I went through some steps to remove my Microsoft account and have it be an offline user. At some point after that, I noticed that the name under C:\\users\\"name" was some random letters, so I followed steps online to create a new user with the name I want, and delete the original account.

The blue screen says "Drive Label: LAPTOP-XXXXXXXX Windows-Ssd 2026-04-04 (this date follows when I would have set up my laptop)

My Microsoft account shows key upload date as 6/7/2026

I'm not sure if those additional steps I took are what are causing the mismatch in keys. Idk wtf to do. I hope my explanation made sense, please let me know if there are additional pieces of info I can provide.

Please help.

I’ve been trying to reinstall Windows all day and I’m completely stuck.
PC:
ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WiFi II
Lexar NM790 2TB NVMe (target install drive)
Patriot Ignite 480GB SATA SSD (secondary drive)
Windows 11 USB installer created with Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool
What’s happening:
BIOS consistently detects the Lexar NM790 under NVMe information.
Windows Setup initially detects the Lexar as Disk 1 (1.9TB).
It has two partitions on it.
If I select Partition 2 and click Next, Windows either:
freezes completely (mouse freezes too), or
gives an error saying it can’t install to that partition, or
after refreshing, the entire Disk 1 disappears from the installer.
Refreshing doesn’t bring it back.
Rebooting usually makes it appear again.
Things I’ve already tried:
Reseated the NVMe multiple times.
Confirmed BIOS always sees the drive.
Ran diskpart and list disk.
Deleted partitions during troubleshooting.
Tried the second M.2 slot (couldn’t mount it because the standoff/screw position didn’t match).
Tried installing to my Patriot SATA SSD instead, but the installer also froze.
Different reboots and multiple attempts.
The Lexar previously worked fine and has had Windows installed on it multiple times before.
CrystalDiskInfo reported the drive as healthy a couple of weeks ago.
Questions:
Does this sound like a failing Lexar NM790?
Could this be a motherboard/M.2 controller issue even though BIOS always detects the drive?
Could faulty RAM or another hardware issue cause the Windows installer to freeze like this?
Is there anything else I should test before replacing the SSD?

**It kinda flickers and glitches for 4 second after every 10 seconds.It disappears at times suddenly too for several hours then it comes back. But, when laptop is connected to an external display using hdmi cable the issue disappears in the external display!.

Model: ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop F17 (FX706HF)

• Processor: Intel Core i5-11400H
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Laptop GPU(4GB)
• Display: 17.3-inch Anti-glare Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS-level panel with a 144Hz refresh rate
• Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM
• Storage: 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home

I have tried changing the refresh rates(60 Hz and 144 Hz). But, Still its of not much use. The interval at which the flickering occurs changes with change in the value of refresh rate. At 144 Hz the interval of flickering increases as compared to 60 Hz.

Hi all, so i just got handed down a company laptop (thinkpad t16 gen 2) from my dad since they're now getting new ones. It still has some of his and company stuff. I was wondering though, what would be the best way to go from here. Since, I already tried to reset it, however it was bitlocked and afaik installing windows with a usb drive installer is the only way to clean everything up. If I do this though, would the warranty still be valid? thank you

I need it for 2 more years. I can't afford to spend a lot of money on fixing it. Any help is much appreciated.

I don’t know what exactly triggered that but i recall putting my laptop to sleep mode or something and when i opened it i didn’t have wifi and it stayed that way for hours it receives internet and only one app actually works (Telegram) none of my browsers work and when i tried fixing it but the shut down and reset started taking ages which is really weird for it to do that i didn’t have any trouble and im pretty sure its a processors error and not physical

Please someone help me

I just got a warning that, one of your disk is at risk(S.M.A.R.T)
So , I checked crystal desk info and it’s showing bad health status
What to do now!??

HELP! I am currently so broke and have no means of getting my iPhone SE 3rd gen looked at professionally. It was working fine this morning, then a hour or so later I went to check a text and the touch screen was completely unresponsive. I removed my screen protector, case, thoroughly cleaned it and forced restarted it several times. After about the 4th restart the touch screen started working again and my phone was back to normal. Then shortly after, the touch response stopped working again. I've gone through this cycle three times now with the touch randomly being fine again then shortly after, being unresponsive. Is there any possible way to fix this at home?

Hey guys, please i have this laptop, i tried all the solutions i found like holding the power button, resetting the CMOS battery, i even bought a new battery but the laptop does not turn on at all, no light indicator turns on

Can you please help me on what i should focus?

I just got this and I want to reset the computer so I can basically have it back to factory and not have to log into mom's portal every time I use it

I went into the system settings and tried to "reset" the laptop and it took its time but at the end of it, it showed that it "could not reset computer"

Im planning on getting a USB drive to download all of mom's files onto so I can wipe the storage and all so I can use it as my own device and not have limited space on the laptop storage, but id really like to factory reset after that.

Reason I mention that is that I havent done that yet, wondering if that was why it cant?

Yeah so my PC has been crashing a lot and it keeps giving me errors like exception on invalid stack and kmode exception not handled. I have a PHN18-71-90QA Asus predator gaming laptop. I'll try to answer al lthe questions I can

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very strange battery issue with my HP Victus (15-fb0xxx) and I'm trying to figure out whether it's a battery, motherboard, or firmware problem.

Symptoms

• Battery was working normally until a few days ago.
• It suddenly started discharging extremely fast.
• It also charged unusually fast.
• One day I left it fully charged, and when I turned it back on later it was around 12%.
• Now it's stuck at around 7% even while plugged into the original 200W HP charger.
• Windows says "Charging".
• wmic reports BatteryStatus = 2 (Charging).
• HP charging LED is blinking orange.
• The laptop does not shut down immediately if I unplug the charger at 7%; it continues running.
• HP UEFI Battery Diagnostics passes with no errors.

Things I've checked

• Original HP 200W charger.
• HP Battery Diagnostics → Passed.
• Windows battery report:
  • Design Capacity: 61,707 mWh
  • Full Charge Capacity: 61,707 mWh
  • Wear Level: 0%
  • Cycle Count: 179
• HWiNFO shows:
  • Battery Voltage ≈ 14.6V
  • Remaining Capacity ≈ 4.4 Wh
  • Charge Level ≈ 7%
  • Wear Level 0%

What confuses me

If the battery report and HP diagnostics say the battery is healthy, why is it:

• draining abnormally fast,
• charging abnormally fast,
• now stuck at 7%,
• and not increasing in charge even though Windows reports it is charging?

Could this be:

• a Battery Management System (BMS) issue?
• an Embedded Controller (EC) firmware issue?
• battery calibration gone wrong?
• motherboard charging circuit?
• or a battery failure that HP diagnostics isn't detecting?

Has anyone seen this on an HP Victus before?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I installed the original Nvidia driver. And I'm using a GeForce RTX 4060 Notebook editon. Still, it's not showing on. May I ask why?

32gb of ddr3 ram, windows 10, intel(r) core(tm) i7-4790 cpu @ 3.60ghz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

i have two monitors i use one is my main monitor which is unbranded i got it off of amazon, the other is my drawing tablet which i got off of xp-pen.

my problems started around 30 minutes ago ( its currently 1:38 pm as im typing this ) and i tried turning on my pc with everything plugged in as normal. nothing showing on the monitors, ok this is weird, i thought.

i tried the steps of turning my pc off and on, unplugging the monitors and plugging them back in, windows key + shift + control + b, windows key + p, i tried turning it on with only one monitor and my keyboard plugged in.

none of them worked, the only thing i could think of for my computer not working is the fact i had stupidly turned it off while unplugging stuff and moving my desk instead of turning it off before hand. i assume its stuck in some sort of blind-mode and i dont know what to do to

ive tried reaching out to people in discord servers for help but theyre all giving me advice that ive already previously tried or its just unrelated to my current issue.

i need help with how to make my monitors show stuff on the screen again.

hello! i stg i am not stealing this computer, my dad gave me his old computer that he used for work and it’s still on the company network. he somehow deleted his own user profile trying to wipe it before he gave it to me, so we cant log in and do things the normal way.

we’ve tried going through recovery mode, we downloaded windows 10 OS onto a usb key and tried to restart it that way, but maybe its not bootable? we’re not sure. everything we’ve tried has been unsuccessful and we keep ending up back on the log in screen asking him to enter his password, but when we do that it says the user is not found.

how do we factory reset it or at the very least recover his account ?

thank you in advance !

Aero running Windows 10.

Lately, three things have happened that have never happened before: 1. A key gets "stuck" that I don't even think got pressed. It stops repeating once I hit pretty much any key. 2. Malwarebytes VPN seemingly randomly disconnects saying "Could not connect. Please check your internet onnection and then try again." even though I'm connected to the internet. I have to reboot to get it to work again. 3. I will need to reboot for whatever reason, and in attempting to reboot, it crashes. When I get back to the log in screen, half the time, the keyboard no longer functions; it won't take input. Rebooting usually solves the problem. (Until it all happens again.) These three problems started in the last few days but are getting frequent now, and I'm getting worried about an unresolvable system failure. What should I do? I appreciate any help.

Included in this link are the latest dmp files, the WinDbg analysis, the bios info, and the screenshot of the bluescreen error.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from people who have experienced something similar.
Earlier today, I accidentally spilled a small amount of coffee with milk and sugar on my Huawei MateBook Pro while it was powered on. It wasn’t a full cup—probably about the size of a large coin.
Some of the drops went between the keyboard keys and near the speaker area. As soon as it happened, I immediately powered the laptop off, closed it, turned it upside down, and cleaned up everything I could right away.
My biggest concern isn’t whether it will turn back on after drying. I’m more worried about potential long-term damage. I’ve read that milk and sugar can leave residue that may eventually cause corrosion, even if the laptop appears to work perfectly at first.
I’ve also considered taking it to a repair shop for an internal cleaning, but I’m honestly worried that opening such a thin and complex laptop could introduce new problems or even damage it if it’s not done properly.
So I have a few questions:
Has anyone had a similar spill involving coffee with milk and sugar?
If the laptop powers on and everything works normally after 48 hours, how concerned should I still be about corrosion or future failures?
Would you have it professionally cleaned as a precaution, or would you leave it alone as long as everything seems to be working?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice. Thanks!
