have an HP ZBook 15 G5, motherboard model: [DA0XW3MBAG0 rev g) and I am facing a charging issue after reflashing the full 32MB SPI chip (MX25L256) with an external programmer. I rebuilt and flashed the complete SPI image (descriptor, ME, BIOS region). Because iy was bricked, original is lost. After flashing, the system boots normally and is fully functional. However, the battery no longer charges. I tested with two different original HP batteries and two original HP adapters (150W and 200W). The behavior is identical in all combinations. In HWiNFO the battery is detected correctly, capacity and cycle count are readable, and the status shows “Charging”, but the charge rate is 0 W. The adapter wattage is detected correctly. On cold boot I sometimes get a “Battery not detected” or “Please insert battery” warning, but once inside Windows the battery appears normally and SMBus data is readable. If I charge the battery in another laptop and then insert it into this ZBoo

I run an instance of Windows Server 2025 Core and I want to manage its firewall using a different machine with a GUI. I've disabled the firewall on the core machine temporarily: Set-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain,Public,Private -Enabled False Also, the rule for Windows Defender Firewall remote management is enabled anyway. Both machines are joined to the same domain. The windows firewall service (mpssvc) is running The IPSec Service is running Remote registry is running Remote management is enabled The machines are able to ping each other These are both fresh installs of Windows Server 2025 Datacenter (Desktop) and Windows Server 2025 Datacenter. When I run mmc, and then add the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in, I get this:

I have a PA-220 that I bought used off of eBay. I do not have a static public IP address and I don't plan on getting one. I do have some public services available through port forwarding, but because my IP address changes, my firewall rules need to change as well so I still have the correct public IP address listed in NAT. I'm easily able to fetch my IP address using ipify, but I'd like to be able to update my foreign address automatically if I may. The NAT rules are set up properly, so I only need to change the IP address object in the configuration. Is there a standard secure way of doing this?

Background: I have an SD card formatted with a FAT32 filesystem with music on it in a feature phone. Unfortunately, the songs don't end up sorted by filename in the music player. Plugging the SD card into my laptop and running ls -U, I could confirm that the songs appear in the order they appear on the filesystem. Since this rather limited music player has no option to sort the songs by filename (or MP3 tag or whatever), I was wondering if it is possible to sort the directory entries to resemble the order of the filenames. Obviously, I could achieve this by deleting the music files and then copying them one by one in the correct order to the SD card. Naturally, I would like to avoid this. Now my question: Is there still some indirection in the file entries in a directory on a FAT32 filesystem? Can I manipulate the order in which the entries appear in a directory without moving the actual data of the files? Or are the directory entries closely tied t

Does anyone know the default values for a Chromium-based browser's JS screen.availHeight on a 3840x2160 (4k) monitor for Win10 and Win11? Assume fresh install with default scaling (100%) and no user mods to OS. It's easy to imply, but a wrong value here could be extremely detrimental to my project. The values below are measured and accurate, except for the 4k values. os width height aWidth aHeight Taskbar amiunique Steam statscounter w10 1920 1080 1920 1040 40 19.47 52.59 19.27 w10 2560 1440 2560 1400 40 5.29 21.32 3.18 w10 3840 2160 3840 *2120 *40

In the power settings, my computer is configured to turn off the screen after 2 hours of inactivity. In all of my Python projetcs that I run at random times during my day or my life, I add a function that runs in a separate thread and toggles the keyboard’s “Num Lock” off and on every hour: def wakelock() -> None: keyboard = Controller() keyboard.press(Key.num_lock) keyboard.release(Key.num_lock) keyboard.press(Key.num_lock) keyboard.release(Key.num_lock) This way, I keep the screen on while the code is running, it doesn’t create any real risk of interfering with typing or mouse movements, and I don’t need to change the power settings to “Never turn off” and risk the power going out and the wrong configuration staying that way without me even remembering. That said, I would like to know if there is a way for Windows 11 itself to check whether there is any Python pr

I need some files recovered from a NTFS partition with MFT overwritten partially. The NTFS file was created by windows 10 installer with default options. It was primary partition. I have recovered logins.json which stores saved passwords in Mozilla Firefox which looked fine when opened with text editor. I have recovered many key4.db files which contains decryption key for the logins.json entries. Sadly, None of the keys.db matched the logins.json I recovered when I placed in Firefox Profiles directory. I have already recovered all the SQLite files that Photorec could find from the physical sectors where the partition should be located. Questions I want to know if it is possible to read the partial MFT and find the files I want from that. Can you also suggest me some Recovery tools?

I cannot use my keyboard or mouse after I have enabled secure boot on my PC. UEFI is enabled and I have installed the factory keys as instructed by my motherboard manufacturer. When I disable secure boot my computer works normally. My mouse and keyboard work in my BIOS and I can press DEL to enter BIOS on start up. I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 a few months ago which my system is Secure Boot capable. I know that Secure Boot was was enabled at one point when I was on Windows 10 because I was able to use FACEIT AC and Valorant's Vanguard AC with no issue as both requires Secure Boot and TPM to be enabled. When I checked in BIOS, I was on CSM with Secure Boot off. I was able to switch to UEFI with no issues. My drives are all GPT. However, enabling secure boot causes my keyboard and mouse (and all other USB devices) to not work. They are still drawing power as the LEDs on my mouse still works. Here are the things I tried so far, starting with the obvious ones:

Background: Users in our organization using an email account as a shared mailbox that can be accessed by many users on Outlook 2010 are experiencing an issue on the first usage where they cannot send an email and it stuck in the Outbox folder forever whether it is inside or outside organization. The error message on Outlook Send/Receive Progress pop-up is "Task '[email protected] - Sending' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'Outlook data file cannot be accessed.'". The shared mailbox was added manually by adding an email account to Outlook. Inbox is working fine. Main mailbox is working fine for both receiving and sending email. We already tested using OWA, from there user can send email normally. Weirdly enough, this same issue spreads across other users of another shared mailbox where they are already using it long time before. IT team confirmed that there are no changes on the Exchange settings. We have tried the foll
