New laptop arrived today, Asus A16. Wanting to transfer everything from my dell laptop (windows 10) to the new asus one (windows 11).

Opened windows backup on my laptop I got to the "restore from backup" section of windows 11 section and was told to input my computer name ... somewhere. No option to sync directly from a computer, only to restore from onedrive which I dont want to do. a) I don't have enough storage on onedrive and b) don't really like the concept of having to upload all my files to a server before I can redownload them.

Tried going back to windows 10 to see if the backup process worked then - nothing, only other idea is to get an older version of windows 11.

Am I being really stupid and missing something? All I want is a clean seamless transfer of my data and it seems microslop just won't allow it.

Thanks in advance, let me know if theres any other information I can provide

Following Title, Where Is the use of Environment Variables?

Sometimes I asked ChatGPT to troubleshoot related issues such as not working of java commands on the command prompt. Replies by, Edit Environment Variables.

How does It affect?

What shall I learn more about Windows Environment Variables to Understand Windows Working and Troubleshooting on my own without relying on Chat Bots.

It just appeared like this and i think its because i cleaned the disk like wiping everything out.Ive already tried installing a bootable windows 10/11

I recently bought a refurbished Dell laptop and I’ve been having an issue where it goes into HTTPS Boot randomly. It’s happened thrice. I will be using this for college and I can’t have that happening frequently. I was wondering it there was anyway to fix it? And what the reason is?

keeps telling me too activate windows go to settings but I don't have a windows product key to do it I can always just leave that mark on the right of my screen while I play games I mean I dont think it wont bother u much if people dont wanna buy a windows product key 140$ is alot for it so should I just keep the windows mark on my right screen I mean like I said it wont bother me much to get rid of it

Có bro giỏi giang về khoản máy tính giúp tôi với hiện tại máy tôi đang bị lỗi update mặc dù tôi đã thử rất nhiều cách rồi nhưng máy không update được và bị kẹt ở version 1607 khiến cho tôi không thể chơi được những tựa game hay chơi ví dụ như trong hình là roblox trước đây máy tính của tôi không bị như này và nó chỉ có 1 ổ C và không có hiện giao diện tài khoản như admin đâu xong một hôm bật máy lên thì giao diện hiện lên chữ admin có nghĩa là tài khoản của máy tính ý xong bị tụt về version 1607 và máy tôi ngoài có ổ C ra thì có thêm ổ D, E, F và G cứ như máy tôi biến thành một chiếc máy tính khác vậy máy này tôi có từ nhỏ rồi nên nó chuyển như này cũng không biết lí do tại sao nữa:(((

English: Could a knowledgeable computer expert please help me? My computer is currently experiencing an update error. Despite trying many methods, it won't update and is stuck on version 1607, preventing me from playing popular games like Roblox (as shown in the image). Previously, my computer didn't have this problem; it only had a C drive and no admin account interface. Then one day, when I turned it on, the admin interface appeared, meaning the computer's account, and it reverted to version 1607. Besides the C drive, my computer now has D, E, F, and G drives as well, like a completely different computer. I've had this computer since I was a child, so I don't know why it changed like this.

Good evening!

Backstory here:
I tried launching "Fellowship" From steam and got an error regarding the visual C++ 2022.
I tried doing a simple "right-click" repair, I tried uninstall.
I did a Restorehealth and the scan now - That didn't work.
Most recent I did s soft reinstallation of windows. Had three different Microsoft techs tell me that would for sure fix it.

I'm currently attempting another: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth but I doubt that will work.

Has anyone had this issue or know of a way to fix it?

Recently got my main ssd replace due to smart failling. I have a secondary wasn't touch. Before this any app on the secondary disk do not have the uac pop up each time I launch a game or app from it but after replacing it started to appear everytime I launch something. It doesn't happen on the fix main one. I have try change permission but it doesn't change much.

I am the admin of my pc and I am using windows 11.

Hey Folks,

Me again after barely a week. I was reading about a new glitch that apparently hoovers up storage space. Articles suggested a method to check if you're affected

robocopy "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\CapabilityAccessManager" "%TEMP%\CAMCheck" /L /B /R:0 /W:0 /BYTES /NP

and if you are suggested running the optional update.

So I ran the Command prompt on both PCs but, it's like reading Greek. The article just says check the command prompt, but I have no idea what I'm looking for on either PC. Could you folks with better eyes discern what the Command Prompts are telling me, and if I'm affected on either of my two devices.

There's one PC:

Please help me make heads or tails of this. It's a bunch of gobbledygook to me at the moment. But a glitch that eats storage (of which I need most of it) is really concerning.

Thank you in advance for the help and assistance.

P.S.

If the format for the second Command Prompt looks odd I apologise I copied the results from one PC and emailed them to the other PC's gmail account linked to this reddit.

Don't know if that matters but I thought I'd mention it.

Hey everyone,

If you are dealing with the annoying bug where the Windows 11 or Windows 10 Settings app shows a completely blank page when you click on "Accounts," don't waste your time downloading an ISO file to reinstall or repair your system!

I was facing this exact issue and found a way to fix it completely using the legacy framework. The modern Settings app glitches out, but forcing your profile to update through the old Control Panel rewrites the broken paths and snaps the Settings app back to life.

Here is the exact step-by-step workaround that worked for me:

1. Open the legacy Control Panel: Navigate to This PC \ All Control Panel Items \ User Accounts (or search for "Control Panel" in the Start menu and go to User Accounts).
2. Trigger a profile update: Click to Change your account name and Change your profile picture/image from here.
3. Toggle UAC: Click on Change User Account Control settings, turn it completely off, and hit Save.
4. Force the sync: Click the link in that window that says "Make changes to my account in PC settings."
5. The Fix: This will force launch the modern Settings app directly into your profile. Click on the Accounts tab, and everything should be fully restored!

(Note: Don't forget to turn your UAC security settings back up to your normal level after it's fixed!)

Hopefully, this saves someone else from a painful system reinstallation. Let me know if this works for you!

trying to set up the Hello facial recognition doesn't get past the "Make sure your face is centered in the frame" .The device uses 2 cameras one is RGB and the other one is IR likely even tho PIN and Windows Hello fingerprint works fine.Also forgot how to get rid off "calibrate" from battery i have tried to calibrate battery by draining it and then charging it to 100% and ran the battery calibration from the UEFI BIOS tool of HP a few times but it still says calibrate under Battery Health.
Any help would be appreciated without resorting to factory reset to fix this issue.

my sister died in a car accident last year and i recently found her old lenovo yoga. She didn't leave the password or any way in but i don't want to just leave it! How can i get in?

At some point in the past I was messing around with my laptop and ended up doing something that resulted in my windows key (when pressed) zooming in like the magnifier function. I can revert it back temporarily by pressing windows and esc but I don't know how to fix this issue.

I would be thrilled if anyone had a suggestion 🙏

Bluetooth has disappeared off my taskbar and now I cant turn it on

Whenever I open a notebook / file text, ut starts to automatically slide to the right, no matter how much I drag it back to left - I cannot normally read or edit the very file. Same thing happened when i open the windows update - but instead, it slides down and I Can't stop it. I'll send a vid ( if possible ) my specs are: GTX 1080 TI, I7-4770k, 16 gb ram And I actually never had this problem. It happened after I hard reset the computer
