For a few days I have the following problem with Windows 11 (see the video): When I turn on the PC, after the check of the fingerprint, the screen remains black for many minutes. The desktop is not visible, but, if I click CTRL+ALT+DEL I can see the menu as showed in the below figure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qQdS5Dd1n1usA4wA91jsvrU9_ODc4On-/view?usp=sharing

I'm in process of updating my screenshot/screen capture script that uses ffmpeg to capture screen (and optionally audio). Note the captures are generally intended to be uploaded to the web, which is why I'm using webm format; e.g. to incorporate them in issue reports on github. It used to work fine just fine ("fine" as in subjectively solid quality/size relation), but recently found the recordings are now super choppy — both audio and video start skipping after the first few seconds. Example command: ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -f pulse \ -i alsa_output.usb-Generic_ThinkPad_Dock_USB_Audio-00.analog-stereo.monitor \ -- output.webm Also tried playing around with video & audio codecs (e.g. -c:v vp9 and -c:a libopus respectively), but essentially found no reasonable improvement. Played around with follow

I rely a lot on the Outlook calendar page, with the 'Tasks' bar showing (setting: "Daily Task List" > "Normal"). I create tasks on the day I plan to do them and move them around when I need to adjust my planning. But I run into a silly problem: I often need to move tasks from Friday into the next week. But with the "Work Week" calendar view (showing Monday-Friday), I can't see the next Monday so I can't drag my task there. How can I easily drag a task into the next week? Is there a shortcut to toggle to the next week? I tried holding the dragged item at the edge of the calendar, but that doesn't trigger a week change either. This is with Outlook as part of a Office 2021 install. One workaround I found is to right-click on the task and click "Follow Up" > "Next Week". Small caveat: this is with respect to the current week, so moving future tasks further into the future can get confusing. And the

Win 10 21H2 Assume we have two users: a) Root (i.e. Admin user) b) Regular 99% of time the user works through Regular account. However, they need a 3rd account for some sensitive/private data handling that cannot be accessed/seen even when the drive is externally read. The following architecture is proposed: A separate partition (E:) is created. E: is encrypted i.e with VeraCrypt A new user account is created on Win10, and ALL of its data (i.e. its C/Users/ folder is moved onto the E:. Appropriate registry changes are made to make windows load that user from E: To access the account and data, user logs in as Regular, decrypts E:, switches to 'HiddenUser'. After logging off as 'HiddenUser', veracrypt E: drive is dismounted from within Regular user, effectively locking all the data,recent files, thumb cache/local appdata/everything of Hidden User behind encryption. I am aware that Windows' user profiles cannot

The reason being power efficiency just doesn't make sense any more. Since Apple silicon, ARM is used in desktop computers as well where power efficiency matters less. Power efficiency seems like an artificial limitation rather than a technical or architectural, which means you could just configure it to clock faster at the expensive of more power draw. I only recently found out just how low the M1 family was clocked at. If the math aligns right (using rough values from benchmarks), it's IPC is so high, even 6 years later, Lion Cove and Zen 5 don't have that much IPC as Firestrom. They are faster due to clock speed. Apple since did increase IPC but a larger part is the clock speed as well. Are there any actual architectural differences which makes ARM harder to clock faster, or is it really just power efficiency? Simpler decode, Apple having lesser ways for L1 cache, just seems counter-intuitive of why ARM clocks slower. Snapdragon, which has similarities with Apple's a

For years now, I used Windows Media Streaming to watch videos from my computer on my TV. I recently bought a new computer and I'm trying to setup again the Media Streaming, but I'm facing issues. The computer runs on Windows 11 enterprise, connected to the same network and router as the TV, both by ethernet connection. The TV worked fine for years on my previous computer (also running on Windows 11, but family edition, with regular updates) When I access the video folder on my TV, the folder is empty. Same thing when I access the folder from another Windows computer through network:

I need to provide a clear, definitive answer to a concern raised by non‑technical managers. The environment is fully cloud‑based: Intune, Autopilot, OneDrive, SharePoint, M365, encrypted local copies, and users trained not to store local data. Is there any real risk of confidential data(*) appearing on screen during the reconditioning of a laptop (re-imaging or AutoPilot reset) for device reassignment? Have you ever seen sensitive information appear on screen during such operations? Can a device reset cause data from the previous user to reappear? I’m not asking about internal procedures — only whether, in such a cloud‑only scenario, a reset could display any previous user data on screen at any point during the process. I’m turning to the community for two reasons: My own explanation isn’t being given much weight. I want to make sure I’m not overlooking any unusual situatio

I want to be able to use the filter function after selecting the column to filter by in a drop-down menu. How can I use the drop-down menu to select the topic, then use that topic to apply the filter function to a table of class names? Each column is a category. For example, if the user selects "Safety", I would like to use the filter function to show the user all classes that have an "X" in the Safety column. Example

I have a Windows 11 laptop with two external monitors arranged above it, like this: Monitor 1 is the laptop display. Monitors 2 and 3 are external monitors. My Windows taskbar is set to auto-hide. When I move the mouse from the top edge of monitor 1 upward onto monitor 2 or 3, Windows briefly triggers the taskbar. The taskbar appears at the top edge of the laptop screen, then seems to move/animate up onto the external monitor. This happens because the cursor crosses the taskbar activation edge while moving between displays. I have tried rearranging the monitors in Windows Display Settings, but I have not found a layout that prevents it while keeping the physical arrangement correct. Is there a native Windows setting, registry value, Group Policy setting, or reliable third-party workaround to prevent the auto-hidden taskbar from appearing on the below monitor ONLY th
