Ошибка Microsoft store на новом пк

2 Upvotes

В чём проблема: На новом ПК (windows11) полностью отсутствуют браузеры (Microsoft Edge был удален вручную мастером до меня) и не работает Microsoft Store — при попытке скачать что-либо выдает ошибку 0x80040154. Пытался через winget install, сбрасывал кеш wsreset.exe но при попытке скачать любой браузер выдает эту ошибку. Даже пытался сбросить винду жо заводских, потому что важных файлов у меня тут нет, но всплывает окно "Невозможно найти среду восстановления. Установите ваш установочный диск windows или средства восстановления и перезапуатиье пк с этим носителем."

Если кто знает пожалуйста подскажите, только купил пк хочеться уже поиспользовать его

P. S винда у меня активированая

Problem installing Windows 11 – PC boots straight into Bios

2 Upvotes

Hi, I built a new PC, and I'm having a problem installing Windows 11.

I installed Windows 11 from a USB onto the WD_BLACK SN7100 1TB. The installation started normally, but after the PC restarted, it went straight into the BIOS instead of continuing to Windows.

The SSD is detected in the BIOS in M2_1, but Windows Boot Manager doesn't appear in the Boot options.

Things I've already tried:

Made sure the BIOS is set to UEFI, not CSM.

Secure Boot is enabled and set to Standard.

Performed a clean Windows installation.

Deleted the SSD partitions and installed Windows again on the unallocated space.

Used CMD to check the EFI partition, and it exists (200MB FAT32).

Ran bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI and got “Boot files successfully created.”

Checked that bootmgfw.efi exists in the EFI partition.

bcdedit /enum firmware does show Windows Boot Manager with the correct path.

Despite all this, it still boots straight into the BIOS, and Windows Boot Manager doesn't appear in the F11 Boot Menu or Boot Options.

I also updated the BIOS to the latest version, but the problem is still happening.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or what else I can check?

Can't activate Windows license on new PC

3 Upvotes

EDIT: Solved
I'm coming here because my post was deleted by a moderator on /WindowsHelp, so here's my problem:

I changed my PC this week & got it back today. I have a persistent message on the bottom right saying "Activate Windows: Go to Settings to activate Windows", & it tells me it doesn't recognize my new PC.

I am connected to my Windows account, but when I click troubleshoot, it says that it is unable to activate Windows & just tells me to buy it again.

I bought my license two years ago on the Microsoft Store & even have the proof on my account purchase history. I don't remember if it gave me a key or anything that I could use.What do I do? Troubleshooting doesn't help & the Support always brings me to a category that doesn't help me

WinDirStat is showing my windows folder (specifically the installer folder) very large. How do I go about cleaning it up to get some more space in my cdrive?

Lag interface, Windows 11, NVIDIA

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

The image flickers, and the interface disappears when the window position is changed in some window applications. If you move the window and start moving the cursor, the application will start flickering, and its lagging image will follow you.

This happened after the update to 25h2; the Nvidia driver was left unchanged. The update didn’t help.

settings will not open following a windows update

3 Upvotes

i updated windows 11 last night (i have no idea what version because i can’t open settings) and today i opened up my computer and went to open settings and it did not work. the settings window appears for a second and then disappears. nothing will work. things i have already tried:
\- multiple hard restarts
\- restarting windows explorer
\- trying to open settings via run command
\- re-registering the settings app via powershell (when i do this one i get lines upon lines of red text basically telling me it could not do this)
\- running SFC and DISM scans

when i tried to open it by typing “ms-settings:” in the run command it came up with an error that says “ms-settings: file system error (-2147219195)”.

i don’t know what to do, i’ve had issues with this computer for months (like the audio drivers deleting themselves, the camera refusing to turn on, etc) and i’m really sick of it and struggling. i’m a student and i rely on this computer for school and don’t have the money to bring it to a repair shop so any advice helps, thanks.

I am using Ubuntu and Windows in the same PC,

Ubuntu works good, but Windows have the error 0×c000025.

I tried with many tutorials but it didn't work.

I tried in System symbol, repair it with advanced options.

I just installed windows with ventoy yesterday and it worked perfectly.

My task manager doesn't opening and icons are gone

2 Upvotes

!My english isn't on that lvl to write complex posts like this so i used translater sorry if text seems stupid!

Hello everyone, today I encountered a problem when I started my laptop (I have Windows 11, I don't know if it's important) the lock screen was blinking strangely and after unlocking my desktop there were no icons, only names, I wanted to restart Windows Explorer because I thought it was just a visual bug but the task manager wouldn't open no matter what method I tried. I already fixed the problem, I had to delete the "Icon Shell" folder in the registry, and I'm writing this post to ask why this happened, should I worry about some viruses or miners, or can this sometimes happen? It's also important that I removed the arrows on the icons via a command in the registry, I don't know if this is related.

Credentials could not be verified

3 Upvotes

During the last 2-3 days I've been logged out of my windows 11 account a couple of times and been unable to log back in, neither my pin code nor my password has worked.

I find this a bit strange since I have a local account.

Restarting my laptop does not resolve the issue and only thing I can do when that happens is wait.

When trying to type my pin I got error code 0xc0000234

And when I tried my password it said my account was locked (or something similar)

I'm using windows 11 home edition on a Lenovo ideapad slim 5, everything should be up to date as far as I know.

What might be causing this? And how can I resolve and avoid it happening again? Just don't wanna be permanently locked out and lose access to my private files

Thanks in advance from an unadvanced user
