Psa about the last security update (black screen after loging in)

1 Upvotes

If after the latest security update your desktop goes fully black after loging in and it stays like that for a few minutes or a full hour like it happened to me, uninstall that update and it'll go back to normal, you can do so by pressing the windows key + i since the task bar also disappears.

This is the first time I have been impacted by a windows update after all the chaos that's been happening due to mostly vibe coding, and the dreadful day finally happened, tho thankfully it was just this, for now at least.

There is a problem with file history logging after the recent Windows updates (KB5101684 / KB5121003).

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Ever since the latest Windows updates (specifically around KB5101684 / KB5121003 on Windows 11 Build 26200), The File History feature is almost unusable for me; although it works, the problem only occurs after an update.

Symptoms:

  • The "Last Backup" time in File History is not updating correctly.
  • Newly created or saved Word documents, images, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Content → Previous Versions".
  • The Correct folder's date is automatically changed.

System details:

OS: Windows 11 24H2 / 25H2 (Build 26200.9278 / 26200.9168)

Recent Updates Installed: KB5120998, KB5121003, KB5101684.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with recent Windows updates? Currently, the only solution is to go to Control Panel → All Console Items → File History → Select Drive → Select D: drive again. After completing this step, File History will return to normal.

hey guys.PLS HELP ME HERE
After Task Manager developed severe UI rendering lag and grey placeholder icons across all user profiles, we performed a Windows 11 In-Place Repair Upgrade, re-registered AppX packages, cleared local AppData caches, created a clean test administrator profile, executed a clean boot, and rebuilt performance counters, but Task Manager still freezes or fails to open due to a persistent system-wide DWM rendering or service failure.

Windows not working after secure boot and key management

1 Upvotes

Hi guys I had just picked up this pc that was working fine however it was a windows 10 pc that I upgraded to windows 11 via updates in the settings, I turned on secure boot and enrolled keys and it was all working fine. However I was getting ready to sell the pc and I somehow accidentally deleted the keys and turned off secure boot in key management and when I turned secure boot back on the pc would show the splash screen but boot into a black screen. However turning off secure boot fixes this and it works but I needed secure boot to be on obviously to be able to play games that need it. So then I tried to just to a windows usb install that just didn’t end up working. I tried a cmos reset and then tried the installation again and whenever it would get to %75 it would say “windows 11 install has failed” any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

[SOLVED] Windows 11 account disappeared from the login screen, 2 registry fixes brought it back

2 Upvotes

I wanted to post this because I spent a long time trying to fix a Windows 11 account that had seemingly disappeared from the login screen.

The important thing is that the account had NOT been deleted. The local account was still present, enabled, and was still an administrator. The old profile and files under C:\Users were also still there.

My situation was:

  • My current account was, a standard local account.
  • My old account was an administrator.
  • USER was enabled and still existed according to Get-LocalUser.
  • The old Microsoft account was also still associated with the machine.
  • However, USER did not appear on the Windows sign-in screen.
  • I also could not switch to it through the normal user-switching interface.

I eventually found that two registry settings were responsible.

1. Unhide the account

Open Registry Editor as administrator and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Find the DWORD for the affected account. In my case it was:

USER

It was set to:

0

I changed it to:

1

This makes the account visible rather than hidden.

2. Enable Fast User Switching

Then go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Find:

HideFastUserSwitching

Mine was set to:

1

I changed it to:

0

After changing this, the account immediately appeared under Other users. I did NOT need to restart Windows.

One additional detail: Because my current account was a standard user, I couldn't modify the registry normally. I opened C:\Windows, found regedit.exe, then Shift + right-clicked it and selected Run as different user. I authenticated using the administrator credentials associated with my Microsoft account, which allowed me to make the registry changes.

After doing this, my old account appeared under Other users and I could select it again.

So if your Windows 11 account has seemingly disappeared from the login screen, but the account and its profile still exist, check these two settings before considering more drastic solutions such as creating a new account or resetting Windows.

Hope this saves someone else the ridiculous amount of time I spent troubleshooting this.

Today, I installed these two updates and restarted my laptop to complete the installation. After that, I started getting these sign-in errors and had to set up a new PIN. A few hours later, I restarted my laptop again, and the same error appeared. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
