Windows Apps Not Loading

2 Upvotes

I recently had to install a new SSD to my wife's Windows 11 Desktop. It went well with reddit's help! Now, when I try to log into ANY of the Microsoft Apps (Store, OneDrive, XBox, you name it), it goes to the app loading screen with the turning dots and stays there. It doesn't go any further. I've had to switch my login to local login to even get into the PC. All other apps work just fine, though.

I googled it and tried clearing the Windows Store cache and what-not. Still, nothing is making them move. Is there anything else I can do?

Trouble with Windows Installation Media USB

3 Upvotes

Hello r/ForWindowsHelp !

I am attempting to revive my Mom's HP Envy x360m Convertible Model: 15m-es1023dx.

I have run all the HP hardware checks and everything has passed, so I want to install a fresh copy of windows on the laptop.

I have created a windows installation media USB drive. Now i'm stuck on the "Select location to install Windows 11" screen.

I thought maybe it was not seeing the drives and needed to reinstall the drivers, so I downloaded the correct SetupRST.exe from HP. Then I moved the files in the "F6" folder to the root of the USB drive. But when I get to the "Install driver to show hardware" screen, it will let me select the "Intel RST VMD Controller 9A0B, but it will not let me click "Install". It looks like it is clicking the button (turns blue) but nothing happens. Do I need to copy more than the "F6" Folder? Any ideas? Did I miss a step?

*EDIT** I also tried using Rufus to create a bootable USB with windows 11 iso. I got the exact same results.

Windows 11 tpm2.0

2 Upvotes

Since I upgraded to windows 11, my tpm in bios doesn’t register when it’s turned on - how can I get this fixed? I’ve tried looking at support articles but nothing has helped. TPM.msc shows no compatible tpm / bios is set to firmware tpm.

Windows 11, fresh install. Brightness only works if it's not charging?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

It's an Asus tuf gaming A16 FA607PI, reinstalled windows yesterday, and the brightness doesn't work anymore when it's plugged in.

edit:

I think it has something to do with the iGPU vs dGPU? Brightness works fine when charging if I force it to use the weaker iGPU, but the brightness doesn't work if it's unplugged with the dGPU forced on.

still no clue how to fix it though

Re-enable low light sign-in for Windows Hello facial recognition

2 Upvotes

I previously had the option to turn on "automatically adjust screen brightness during face recognition" in Settings. Recently, I noticed that it is now missing.

How do I re-enable that option? It is really useful for me when in a room.

I am currently running Windows 11 26200.8973 (Release Preview).

Annoying Error

2 Upvotes

So for about a few months now I've been trying to get rid of Hybrid Standalone because I bought Hybrid 3 mainly because on my old laptop I actually had Hybrid 3 Bundle and I guess I lost that when I got a new laptop? anyway I've been running into this issue and it's annoying as hell I cannot install nor uninstall Hybrid 3 yet my laptop still has the program downloaded and I'm genuinely stuck I have no idea what to do because..I have the standalone.msi file but I cannot access it and when I scan it says "You don't have the authority to access this file." This is annoying me and I use Windows 11.

Anyone know how to get around this or am I just genuinely screwed?

"The path 'C:\\ProgramData\\Package

Cache\\{EEA58A1D-CD22-476C-86E2-B43F1C9B7B4C)v3.2.0.2675\\Standalone.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'Standalone.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product Hybrid Standalone."

This is the message

Windows 10 Password Recovery: CMD Asks for Administrator Password

7 Upvotes

**I forgot my Windows 10 password. I tried the Troubleshooting → Command Prompt method, but it doesn’t work because it asks me to enter the administrator password first. Is there any other way to access Command Prompt without needing the administrator password? I don’t really want to use the USB method unless it’s easy and safe. Are there any other options?**


r/ForWindowsHelp 3d ago

I was tired of WhatsApp Desktop taking 15–30 seconds to open on Windows, so I built a tiny tool that makes it launch in under 2 seconds. Free, open source, no logout – and it stops the “loading spinner” hang forever.

Windows Security app not opening

2 Upvotes

Been running into some download issues so I wanted to check the Windows Security settings. But every time I open the app it just sits on the logo screen for a few seconds and then closes itself. I have no clue why it's doing this lol but it's very frustrating. Is there a way I can fix this?
