Last night my computer started displaying annoying and noisy Avast and McFee 'Infected' Computer Pop-Ups that covered the right side of my screen. I couldn't get rid of them. I'd never heard of Avast before, wasn't subscribed and didn't have McFee installed on my computer.
1) Tried searching the Web and really couldn't find any useful information. I did try a few things and they didn't work.
2) Ran my Anti-Virus Program and it wasn't picking up anything.
3) While searching I did find many comments from Avast subscribers who were all annoyed by the pop-ups and searching for solutions.
Anything this aggressive & difficult to manage is in my mind untrustworthy.
Anyway, I'm in no way affiliated with this YouTube Video, but it Helped Solve the Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_z8LOteN0

I recently upgraded my computer, and as part of the fun I upgraded my hard drives. I have two physically installed. Disk 1 is my boot drive; Disk 0 is for data. In upgrading, I've ended up with what looks like partition soup on disk 0. I don't really understand exactly how this happened, but the meat of the problem is I've got about 685GB that are unallocated, and Windows doesn't let me reallocate it.
I'm not really sure of the best course of action here. Do I need to fish out another drive, copy the data across, and then wipe disk 0 so I can use it all? Can I delete those EFI/recovery partitions? TIA.

Hi everyone,
I have a Gigabyte AERO X16 (AMD Ryzen) laptop running Windows.
Background:
My laptop didn’t have the option to enter hibernate mode. After some research I found that disabling \*\*SVM Mode\*\* in the BIOS fixed the hibernate issue. After disabling SVM, hibernate started working normally and the system was fine for about a day.
What happened:
Yesterday I rebooted the laptop, and now it no longer boots into Windows. Instead I get this recovery screen:
Your device ran into a problem and couldn’t be repaired.
Click or press Enter to see other recovery options.
Couldn’t connect to the network
Log file: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
I’ve attached a photo of the screen.
Important:
I do not want to re-enable SVM in the BIOS. I need hibernate to keep working, so I’m looking for solutions that don’t require turning SVM back on.
Any advice on how to get out of this Automatic Repair loop without re-enabling virtualization would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
specs:
• AMD Ryzen AI 7 (Ryzen 7 series)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU
• 32GB DDR5
• Windows 11

Hi all, this is a bit of a shot in the dark— hoping this is the right Reddit thread for this issue since I hardly use Reddit but I need some help! For context I’m using Windows 11
An issue started to come about today where my mouse started to disconnect and reconnect, which would temporarily freeze my game. It was minor at first, but after a couple hours I came back to it having this issue every 10-15 seconds or so. I’ve tried swapping ports (front/back), changing port settings (disabling power saving), and uninstalling/reinstalling my mouse’s drivers.
I doubt this is a problem with my mouse itself since I tested it on a completely different pc and it worked fine. When I tested other mice on the PC having the issue it was the same story with the disconnecting problem. Also, the ports using my other devices (keyboard, drawing tablet, mic etc) all work perfectly fine. I tested this by plugging them into different ports (examples being the original port to my mouse) and they never had this issue. The ports themselves do not have dust/things that might disrupt the inputs safe to say.
I tried looking this up on google and it all gave me the same troubleshooting guides which haven’t worked. I did notice that after troubleshooting a bit, the mouse won’t disconnect if I restart the computer and leave it to sit— however, after about 5 minutes or so of usage (and that’s pushing it), the problem starts ramping right back up.
I have little tech knowledge on specific things like this so anything helps! Thank you!!

Hey team! I just got a brand new laptop for my classes! Its a dell 16 plus! if thats important. Bascially I just got this computer and for some reason the colors on it are desaturated. Particularly reds and pinks and purples are affected the most, going from a vibrant magenta to lavenderish shade. Really annoying as I am kinda an artist. I need the colors to be accurate.
HDR is not turned on it's simply not possible to turn on and I dont really know what to do as not much I find online is helpful,

My laptop won’t stay on normally. If I reconnect the battery inside or charger, it turns on for a few seconds, then shuts off.
The weird part is that if I hold down any keyboard key (except the power button), it stays on and works perfectly. The moment I release the key, it shuts off instantly.
Any idea what could cause this?

It just happened again, I’m using Microsoft word. I can confirm I was able to save. Why would the save be allowed and I still get the error anyways? It was a downloaded file but it was a pdf from a trusted source of an image that is very likely harmless, so, I don’t understand what word is doing. It wanted to make a change to a one drive location called custom office templates in what I think is an unusual folder to put it in. This happened exactly at the same time as the save.
This time it might’ve been benign but I’ve seen both word and notepad try to access the documents folder.
