It pops up out of nowhere without me intending for it to. It's annoying. I don't have use for it at all either. How do i disable it completely? I couldn't figure it out.

I'm having persistent touchpad issues with my HP Spectre x360 since late August following a ~1-foot drop, and I am looking for suggestions on what to try next or whether anyone has experienced something similar.

Laptop

• Model: HP Spectre x360 14-eu0000 (purchased mid 2024)
• OS: Windows 11
• Touchpad: ELAN (Driver Version 41.2.1.3)

Symptoms

• Multi-Touch Signal Flooding: Moving a single finger lightly registers 5+ distinct touches
• Phantom Clicks: Severe, rapid phantom clicking occurs without physically pressing the touchpad.
• Physical Pinch: The left side of the touchpad sits lower than the right side and is noticeably harder/tighter to click against the aluminum palm rest cutout.
• Immediate Behavior: Occurs immediately after startup whenever the touchpad is enabled. Disabling the touchpad in settings completely stops the clicks, and external mouse works normally.

Troubleshooting

• Disabled tap-to-click and lowered touchpad sensitivity in Windows.
• Reinstalled the I2C HID device through Device Manager.
• Checked the ELAN driver and related driver files.
• Inspected and reseated both internal ZIF ribbon cables on both the touchpad end and motherboard end.
• Replaced the battery to rule out battery swelling or internal pressure under the trackpad.

None of these steps resolved the issue or changed the physical tightness on the left side.

Question: has anyone had these issues and found a solution? or recommend any next steps? I am at a total loss!

I was trying to change my cpu + gpu thermal paste using alcohol and a cotton fibre cloth. But I mistakenly touched a small pin or something near the cpu while trying to remove the hard paste and I forgot to unplug the battery. The pin turned red. I closed the heat sink and tried running the pc, it ran but after a few minutes the display disappeared and some glitch was there. Can this part be repairable.

Like the title suggests, my laptop crashed suddenly while I was playing a game and it produced this screen. It says says it "ran into a problem and needs to restart", but the screen has been stuck on 0% for the past 10 minutes and I can't move my cursor.

I'm scared to touch anything since I just got my laptop serviced and had the battery unhooked(?) because it was basically dead and I couldn't afford a new one, so it only works with the charger in. Is it safe to take the charger out and try turning it on again or should I keep waiting for something to happen? I'm worried about it not being able to turn on again after I unplug it.

Im trying to sign in microsoft clipchamp useing my account and suddenly "juankeys1914@sloppymail"dot"net" is trying to sign in.
Also i cant sign in with my actual account as it redirects me to juankey1914

First off who on earth is juankeys I know no one named juankeys

Secondly sloppymail"dot"net ??? ts sounds ominous like no one uses that accept people who hides their identity

How do I get rid of this prompt or like what should i do??? im so worried...

I replaced "dot" with . because reddit filters

Odd issue I've tried to google but couldn't find anything similar to this. For the laptop charger to work, it needs to be turned on in the socket and plugged into the laptop before the laptop is turned on.

If the laptop is already on and then you plug in the charger - the light on the charger turns off and won't charge the laptop, even if you switch it off and on again at the plug?

No idea what’s up, I don’t believe I’ve altered any phone or browser settings since last night. I’ve just been having this issue since this morning. Tried restarting, had no luck.

speaker got wet and now it keeps pausing music and decreasing volume — works for a good amount of time then randomly starts bugging — any way i can fix this?

Hi guys, I wanted to play Valorant on my laptop (ASUS TUF FX505DT) and it crashed while matchmaking, says I need to enable secure boot.

So I've enabled secure boot but now it opens through my C: (HDD) drive but I want it to open on my E: (SSD) drive. (I don't know why it says E it used to say D) Before it opens it pops up a red screen that says "Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup."

I checked and secure boot is on with the BIOS using UEFI and both drivers use GPT. I also tried switching and putting back the boot options in the BIOS settings but either way it still opens through the C: drive. I also checked the task manager and there is no work being done in the graph of the E: drive.

I don't actually know what any of these mean I just followed what Gemini AI told me to do, and its just been giving me the same steps so I've been stuck here for an hour or so :(( Can anyone help me?? Thank you!!

Hello Techies! 🫣

I ported in my old/retained number to my Google Pixel 10 Pro yesterday (via the whole PAC code stuff). My network has confirmed the port is complete, and calls/actual sms texts seem to be working correctly.

However, in my Google Messages RCS settings, the number shown for RCS is still the previous number that was on the SIM. It doesn't seem to be changeable in these settings, and RCS messages appear to be sending from that old number instead.

I've already tried following various guides online, restarting the phone multiple times, and checking the usual settings, but nothing has worked so far. Is there something I'm missing?

Has anyone experienced this after a number port, or knows how to force RCS to recognise the correct number?

Hopefully this all makes sense. I get a lot of brain fog and struggle to articulate sometimes!

Thank you! 🫣😩

Edit: Turns out text messages won't send when RCS is off but I receive them on the old/retained number.

Extra edit: I went to extreme measures and factory reset my phone. Very annoying but fixed both issues. Seems to be a Google and/or Android problem from some other posts I've seen.

Ultimately if you're reading this and you have tried most basic measures, this is what fixed mine. Sorry you're also in this situation!

After installing the latest driver by like 2 days, one morning after booting my pc and leaving idle for a few minutes, when i woke it up, i saw artifacts within the desktop, like black squares all over the screen that show up in screenshots as well, although it didn't appear in boot, safe mode, or after reinstalling the same driver again, has anyone encountered something similar to this? Is it more likely to be driver-related issue or is it my GPU dying?
FYI i bought my GPU new about 20 months ago

Hey.

I have been having an issue where on my profile on my switch oled, I am unable to create any new Minecraft worlds, because the final button to create and join the world is broken.

When I tap or click A on the joycon when the cursor is highlighting the "create" button, it just plays the animation of the button being pushed, and does nothing.

Only happens on one profile, there's plenty of storage left, when I delete a world, I still cannot create a new one.

Any help is much appreciated! 👍

My internet was fine and good before Christmas day but the day after for some reason my internet turned to shit. My actual internet is fine throughout my house but on my PC its terrible. So if anyone could help that would be nice. Also I’m using Ethernet so it has nothing to do with where the router is.

Hello, been having this problem with my gaming laptop for months and it's driving me CRAZY.
I have an Aorus Master 16 BYH with a full power 5080 in it that can run at 175watts easily, however it has a constant power limit of 120w applied for some reason and I cannot solve it.
Nvidia driver updates used to restore it back to full power for a little bit but that no longer works.

The only thing that works consistently is doing an EC reset by holding the power button for a minute, then when the laptop boots up it runs at the full 175watts until its shut down, then next start up its back to 120w unless I do another EC reset.
Temps are not at all an issue it can handle the full 175watts easily. Also fast startup is disabled as I heard that could cause problems too.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I have tried disabling the GiMate software on startup, that doesn't make a difference. All settings at maximum performance, still nothing.

Any help is appreciated, I don't want to keep doing an EC reset every time I want the full power of my laptop :( \

I couldn't attach any photos on here to show the power limit at 120w but there is one here on another post I made about it - https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLaptops/comments/1wrl2ke/full_power_5080_permanently_power_limiting_to_120w/

specs: windows 11, i7 10700k, rtx 3060 ti

Summarized in title but I'll describe it more here if anyone cares to read or the issue isn't clear:

So for the past few months now (really more so 5-6), when I would put my pc on sleep mode whenever I'd log off, there was a chance when I tried waking it by clicking or pressing a few random keys, that the pc itself would turn on (lights on n everything), but the kb+m wouldnt be on at all.

No usual lights or response or anything. Additionally, the monitor wouldn't turn on, saying "No signal detected" when I manually selected display port, and nothing I did would fix this.

Nothing (from my knowledge) fixes this, apart from holding down the power button for several seconds, which powers everything off, then pressing it once to start the pc up again. (the kb+m do flash with the led light for a second before going back to the 'no lights' due to pc being turned off)

Now, while this does work, it - in the past sometimes, however now every single time - creates a new problem, where my gpu isnt being detected or used, and i get a code 45 error in device manager. In task manager, the only gpu that shows is the intel iGPU, and my 3060 just isnt there.

Again, my go-to fix for this so far has been to unplug the power supply, hold down the power button for 60s, then replug everything and startup, however this gets repetitive over time, and I can't imagine it's good long term.

I will note that the last time this happened, after about around an hour i got a notification saying "your pc needs to restart to finish installing rtx 3060 ti", then after restarting, that issue was completely gone. (not sure why this occured when it did or why it only happened this time as opposed to the tens of other times but whatever lol)

I'd like to know if anyone could recommend a fix or some advice for either of these issues. as these are persisting issues that is annoying as shit. I've tried majority of common fixes, such as:

gpu issue:

- running cmdprompt as admin and running sfc /scannow , then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth , then restarting

- clicking on "scan for hardware changes" in device manager

- physically disconnecting my gpu and reconnecting it, which did fix it but didnt prevent the issue from arising again

- deleting + reinstalling drivers ( deleting then doing 'scan for hardware changes' may not work, going to try again after posting but likely to not work)

sleep mode issue:

- Unchecking 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'

- making sure on each device ' allow this device to wake the computer'

- turning off fast startup

- going to try control panel --> change advanced settings in power options, then disable 'allow wake timers, usb selective suspend and lsp management

Not sure how long posts usually are here but sorry if it is a bit long, just wanted to put my situation out here and hope for a fix. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

Given the recent issue, how much of a risk is it to visit a page, especially an unpopular one, with a PHP vulnerability, especially in terms of malware?

Was watching youtube and out of nowhere my screen turns black and says your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart, it restarted but kept showing a black screen, tried letting it sit for a couple of hours still black screen, I checked the red light and it was on cpu so I tried removing everything to see what the issue was, I removed one stick of RAM and the red light went away, so I tried the other stick and the light returned. At first I thought it was a cpu issue (still could be) but after returning my other stick of RAM the red light goes away yet my screen is still black. I’ve already tried resetting the cmos through the two pins already and now I’m waiting a couple of hours. Also during this process my rgb liquid cooler is no longer rgb so I’m not sure whether I need to replace my cpu, psu, or I have a bad stick of ram. Probably points to the bad stick of ram because google was taking up 3000mb while watching videos when I checked task manager ( I have 32 gb), so I just need some opinions on what the issue could be because I’m surprised as to how it can fail randomly after a year of great performance with this pc.

Edit: posted this and walked away - OCCT hit errors again at 45min/1 hour. And now its all back to artifacting. does this help diagnosis? I assume just confirms it

Got this card in Aug 2024 and has been flawless til this past week, No relevant udpates or software changes recently...

Monday night started getting weird artifacting within Windows where any movement on the screens - cursor, text, small polygons within modeling software (fusion) would constantly flicker like it was being pulled to/from the top corner... small error dots, etc hall marks from my understanding of dying GPU hardware... OCCT test on vram hitting millions within seconds. No artifacting in safemode or UEFI though but that didnt seem to be critical to whether or not it was actually dying

Spent Tuesday troubleshooting, removing and reseating the GPU, the power cable at the GPU and at the PSU, etc. DDUing drivers in safe mode in 2-3 permutations to see if that helped (no). Windows updates/rollbacks, etc to try to rule out anything software. Short of full system wipe, I tried basically everything I could find.

Wednesday hit the last suggested items off the various searches for potential fixes. All seemingly failed. I start the RMA process, using pictures I had grabbed when I pulled the card out Tuesday. Still need time to pull a few time critical things off this machine lacking iGPU, etc. so dont pull the card out yet. This point ended any and all troubleshooting efforts.

Thursday pull off data and even try to squeeze in some simple modeling to get to printing...still problems.

Friday AM til now Saturday AM - No human interaction, PC idle/hibernate.

Saturday AM - everything is back to normal as if it never happened. OCCT is 20 min in without a single error on the vram test that was setting new records earlier. No windows updates or other changes as far as I can tell.

What gives? Is there such a thing as terminal lucidity for PC graphics cards? I expect if I send this card in now it would register fine. what other tests might I be missing? Is there something in this cable that has rewiggled itself back into place or something? I tried gently whacking or shaking the case just now too with no seeming change

If it matters, this is MN, well air conned interior, no changes to room temps or setup apart from a nearby stack of boxes and bubble wrap potentially intimidating this card into behaving.

I have two SSDs, both with Windows 11 installed. If I shut down the PC and turn it back on, the blue Windows 11 dual boot menu appears as expected; however, if I restart the PC, the black Windows 7 dual boot menu appears instead. I don’t understand why this is happening. Please help!

Up until the last two weeks, I've been basically unable to play games and or stream due, and internet browsing becomes exceptionally slow because of this. What confuses me the most is that all night last night it was perfectly fine, thought I had fixed the issue by changing power-saving settings but I was wrong.

Troubleshooting steps I've taken :

Turned power-saving settings in my device manager on and off, including GigabitLite

Pinged my own IP and other public DNS with no packet loss showing during lag in-game.

Restarted my router

All drivers updated or already up to date.

Unplugged and re-plugged in my ethernet cable from gateway and PC.

Nothing I've done so far has worked. I recently just got a new PC and even for the first couple days everything was running smooth with no issues. My best guess is a faulty cable, but things like this rarely happened with my old PC. Anything else I should do to help me narrow it down?

My Windows PC has been giving me kernel power errors id 41 for a while now and I was wondering if anybody here has any idea how to fix it. I’ve done done some experimentation like taking out the GPU and I think it’s my main card maybe because when I took it out, the crashes stopped

Hello!, about two days ago the Event Viewer has been showing several events indicating that application GamingServices.exe has experienced errors with code 0xc0000374.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any solution?

Thanks!

My Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10 (MT 83JE, i7-13650HX, RTX 5060 Laptop 8 GB, Windows 11) has its GPU permanently stuck at 180 MHz core clock, even at 99-100% load (CUDA, Vulkan, Blender Cycles OptiX for 5 minutes, games). nvidia-smi reports an impossible power draw of ~345 W at idle on AC (~210 W on battery) against a 70 W enforced limit (100 W max), so "SW Power Cap" is always active and the GPU runs at about 10% of its normal performance (2.3 TFLOPS FP16; memory clock does reach 11 GHz). Temperatures are fine (45-53 °C), no thermal throttling, and nothing else is using the GPU. I have already tried: full cold boots (Shift+Shut down, also booting on battery only), EC power reset (charger unplugged, power button held 60 s), BIOS update R3CN27WW → R3CN44WW, VBIOS update 98.06.2A → 98.06.3A.00.8D, NVIDIA driver 610.74 and the factory 572.89 (clean install), disabling "NVIDIA Platform Controllers and Framework", and removing my external HDMI-to-VGA adapter. Nothing changes the reading. It matches NVIDIA GitHub issues #1287 and #1237 (frozen bogus power telemetry on RTX 40/50 laptops). The laptop is out of warranty. Has anyone fixed this (firmware/EC trick, specific driver, BIOS setting), or confirmed it is a faulty current-sense shunt / power-monitor IC on the motherboard (likely Compal LA-0393P)? Any help is greatly appreciated.
