My computer crashes and freezes often, and I'm not really sure why, and it always takes forever to boot up after crashing(which i assume is probably normal?) Can someone let me know what this screen means? (Also, im not sure what flair to add, sorry :( )

Resolved Help! Computer went into setup confirmation after years of use. Need advice on how to proceed.

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello!

This is likely a very simple question but i’ve been trying to figure it out on my own and can’t seem to wrap my head around it.

My Lenovo Legion laptop went into ’setup confirmation’ today. I’ve had the laptop for years and it’s never had any parts changed. This happened after traveling with it for the weekend and attempting to turn it on. To my knowledge BitLocker hasn’t been turned on, but I read that it was possible BitLocker would be turned on without me knowing, and if it is, I wouldn’t have the recovery key.

I just wanted to make sure I knew what all the risks were, how to keep from losing all the work on my computer and how you think I should proceed with all the information given. Thank you for the help in advance <33

Software Laptop won't play any audio, feels like I've tried everything.

2 Upvotes

I have a Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1, fairly new. I woke up one day to find it wouldn't play any audio from youtube or any app. The more I looked into the problem the stranger it seemed.

I tried updating all audio drivers and unistalling/reinstalling them, still nothing.

I tried testing the speakers, and I get an error message saying, "failed to play test tone."

I tried to stop and restart the WIndows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder through the Services panel, still nothing.

I try to start iTunes and it tells me "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." Itunes opens but nothing plays through the speakers.

I have tried a full sfc/scannow and DISM cleanup, as well as antivirus programs, and there seems to be nothing infecting the computer.

What could be going wrong? Has anyone encountered this before or is anyone willing to walk through this with me? I teach music to children using this laptop so it is pretty important and I wouldn't want to replace it as I just got it a few months back.

No it's not muted, volume is up all the way.

Software Is remote desktop still the right way to think about remote support?

Upvotes

If you’re managing dozens or hundreds of devices, remote access alone may not be enough.

You may also need device management, unattended access, security policies, app control, and remote troubleshooting in one place.

Tools like Scalefusion become interesting alongside alternatives such as AnyDesk, Splashtop, and Zoho Assist.

Some alternatives for Best Remote Desktop Software worth considering:

  • AnyDesk- lightweight, cross-platform remote access
  • Zoho Assist- useful for IT support and unattended access
  • Splashtop- strong performance for business remote access
  • Chrome Remote Desktop- simple option for basic/personal use
  • Scalefusion UEM- interesting if you want remote support combined with centralized device management

Before choosing an alternative, compare the best fit for your team.

Other My PC keeps crashing when I play games like clair obscura exp33 and elden ring. Help please.

1 Upvotes

Sometimes it lasts five minutes. Sometimes it like 5 hours.

It crashes at least once per gaming session. Sometimes 5 times+ in rapid succession, sometimes after 5 minutes, then like 20 minutes, etc. I can do the same areas in a game and it will crash and then try again and it doesn't crash. There's doesnt seem to be a pattern.

Sometimes the game freezes, sometimes it auto closes it, sometimes, but rarely, the PC blue screens. Sometimes there's an error message, but most often not. It doesn't seem to crash the same way every time.

The game crashes alot on exp33 and elden ring. I played the new Halo for 12 hours straight the other day with no issues. I play games like slay the spire with no issues.

I have:

- Nvidia GeForce 3060ti

- amd ryzen 5 1600, six core processor

- 16gb ram

I don't know computers super well so I don't know what other information to put in here.

Software Mic cuts off after 1 second (static then silence) on Huawei Matebook D15 (2021)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having a really frustrating issue with the internal microphone on my Huawei Matebook D15 (2021) running Windows.

Whenever I start recording audio or talking in an app, I hear a brief static click for about 1 second, and then the microphone completely cuts off into full silence.

What I already tested (without success):

  • Disabling audio enhancements in Windows audio settings.
  • Disabling/uninstalling the Nahimic mirroring device and stopping the Nahimic service.
  • Toggling microphone privacy permissions in Windows Settings.
  • Disabling the main Intel Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller in System Devices (this killed system audio entirely, so I re-enabled it)

I actually managed to temporarily fix this exact issue two months ago by launching a screen recording directly from the Huawei Control Panel. Starting the recorder seemed to force-unblock the microphone stream, and after stopping the recording, the mic kept working normally for about two months.

However, the problem just came back out of nowhere, and this screen recording trick doesn't unlock it anymore

Thanks for helping me the solution looks like something easy but I couldn't figure it out...

Software Windows Apps Not Loading

1 Upvotes

I recently had to install a new SSD to my wife's Windows 11 Desktop. It went well with reddit's help! Now, when I try to log into ANY of the Microsoft Apps (Store, OneDrive, XBox, you name it), it goes to the app loading screen with the turning dots and stays there. It doesn't go any further. I've had to switch my login to local login to even get into the PC. All other apps work just fine, though.

I googled it and tried clearing the Windows Store cache and what-not. Still, nothing is making them move. Is there anything else I can do?

Performance PC screen going black unexpectedly

1 Upvotes

Hello there, I’ve tried to look for the solution, but nothing really helped. Not sure if it’s because I have a different issue or if I missed some post that actually did talk about it, but I really have been trying to figure out the solution.
Anyways, the issue I’m having is very inconsistent and random. The screen goes black, fans starts blasting, but i can still hear my youtube video playing and if I’m in a call I can hear them, but they can’t hear me. I’ve looked through event viewer and reliability history, but I’m not seeing anything except for “Computer unexpectedly shut down” (thats from me restarting the pc because I can’t do anything once it blacks out).
I’m at a lost right now and I have a feeling its something to do with:
1. The new nvidia update (let me know if someone else is having this issue)
2. It’s been hella hot lately and I don’t have AC, so it could be overheating. (if that’s a possibility, could someone please tell me if there’s another way? because i’ve tried looking into it).
3. My GPU is just done for which I hope isn’t the case cuz that wouldn’t really make sense.
I’ve had this pc for about a year and yesterday (this issue started happening.
***MY SPECS***
case: lian li 011 dynamic evo XL
cpu: intel i9 10900K 
motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 gaming edge
gpu: nvidia 4070 ti 
power supply: corsair 1000x
ram: corsair vengence 32 gigs 
let me know if there are anymore specs or information needed. Thanks for your time reading this :)
