I have a Lenovo laptop that boots normally to the Lenovo logo and Windows sign-in screen, but as soon as I try to log in, the screen goes black and then the power shuts off shortly after. Sometimes I also get an SrtTrail.txt error. I’ve already tried a lot of troubleshooting: Booted into Safe Mode (Explorer actually works fine there). Ran command line repairs like bootrec, chkdsk, sfc /scannow, and DISM /RestoreHealth. Uninstalled recent updates and restarted. Checked BIOS (hard drive is detected and Windows Boot Manager is first in boot priority, UEFI mode is enabled). All disk and system scans report no issues. No system restore points are available. Tried “Reset this PC” with the option to keep my files, but it didn’t work. Physically checked the laptop (battery is fine, no damage, cleaned fans, everything looks normal).

Every time I try to use OS X Mountain Lion Internet Recovery, I get an error after the first screen of Reinstall OS X. The error box says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.". That's not very specific so I decided to check the logs and they said "Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded". You might be thinking at this point that I just need to set the date and time. You would be wrong. I tried setting it to the latest date and time and it didn't work. I also tried setting it to January 1st, 2013 and that didn't work either. This is clearly not a date and time issue and I don't know what it could be.

I am having an issue with a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive connected directly using a SATA-to-USB adapter with an external 12V power supply (no enclosure). Hardware setup 3.5" SATA hard drive SATA to USB adapter External 12V power supply for the drive USB OTG adapter for Android smartphone Behavior on other devices On a computer: the drive works perfectly On a TV: the drive is detected and fully accessible On another Android phone: the drive works immediately via OTG with no additional setup Behavior on my phone When I connect the drive via OTG: The phone sometimes shows “USB connected” The drive may power on and off repeatedly (reconnection loop) In some cases, the drive stays powered without disconnecting However, the drive never appears in the file manager No external storage is shown in the “Files” app The system detects the USB device but fails to mount

An M.2 SSD (Lexar 970), which has been in use in one of my systems (Mixtile Blade 3 onUbuntu 24.04.4 LTS) for almost one year, is suddenly no longer recognised. It used to appear in lsblk as nvme0n1, but this is no longer the case: mixtile@blade3n1:~$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS loop0 7:0 0 101.4M 1 loop /snap/lxd/39323 loop1 7:1 0 38.7M 1 loop /snap/snapd/23772 loop2 7:2 0 68.9M 1 loop /snap/core22/1912 loop3 7:3 0 61.9M 1 loop /snap/core24/1644 loop4 7:4 0 103.8M 1 loop /snap/lxd/33105 loop5 7:5 0 42.6M 1 loop /snap/snapd/26869 mmcblk0 179:0 0 116.5G 0 disk ├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 4M 0 part ├─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 512B 0 part └─mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 116.5G 0 part / mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk Neither do fdisk -l and

About a month ago, I noticed that several Windows apps had stopped working. Among these apps was the Microsoft Store, as well as the Weather app and “Solitaire & Casual Games.” About a week later, the “Media Player” and “Game Bar” suddenly stopped working as well — even though these apps had been functioning just fine beforehand. All my research into the problem has yielded no results. I wanted to try repairing the apps, but that option isn't available to me. I only have the “Reset” option. I attempted to reset them, but I simply received an error message stating that the app could not be reset. Initially, the whole situation looked like a virus to me. However, virus scans—conducted using both Windows Defender and a separate antivirus program (which I installed specifically for this scan, and which had helped me resolve a virus issue years ago)—came up completely clean. Today, the “Movies & TV” app has also stopped working. For

My car was recently in the garage for its service and it has come out with damage (scrapes) to the bodywork both front driver side and rear passenger side. This particular garage has form and I have had previous incidents of the same damage (they tried to blame a cat scratching my car). It did not enter the garage in this state. I went to check the front and rear cameras and found that the card has about a third of free space. Now this 32GB card overwrites itself when full. So I would assume that the card would be full and I would still be able to access footage from the previous day. I am suspicious that this card has been removed and formatted and then put back into my dashcam. Is there a way to find out if and when the SD card has been formatted/erased?

How do I open a network folder with a .bat file? explorer shell:NetworkPlacesFolder works like wonders in CMD but once I try to implement a path (e.g. \\104pc01-01\c$\), it simply doesnt work and I can't find anything online. I thought I could just do explorer \\ but that didn't work, so I tried using shell:NetworkPlacesFolder, pushd and other gimickry that still didn't work

If I have a document of 10 lines and I have a line selected. How do I invert the selection so that instead, all the other lines are selected? I searched and searched, could not find anything on this! Any help would be appreciated.

On my local network, I have a PC and a laptop. My PC has Windows 10 Pro, and my laptop has Windows 11 Pro installed. Recently I set up file sharing and remote desktop on my local network, my goal is to connect to the PC from my laptop. When my PC is connected to the modem via LAN cable, I cannot ping it from my laptop when the laptop is also connected to the modem with LAN cable, but when I disable ethernet on my laptop and connect with WiFi, I'm able to ping the PC. The odd thing is that when I connect the PC to the modem over WiFi and disable Ethernet, I'm able to ping it from my laptop whether it's connected through WiFi or LAN. I have a laptop with Windows 10 pro installed, and everything works fine whether Lan or WiFi. So I suppose the source of the problem is not in my modem, which I also checked and there's no MAC filtering on it. So it's safe to say that the issue is with the Windows 11 itself. I tried to Google the issue, and found bunch of solution that neith

What I like to do is create folders and assign image/cover arts as the folders thumbnail, rather than generating the standard folder icon. I do this very often (basically every folder I can bother to find an image for). I setup a script/.bat file so that I can place any image file into the folder, press the hotkey, then it will run a program (Pixillion) to convert the image to a .Ico file and hide it. It will also create a desktop.ini file, like what Windows 10 does when you manually set the folder's custom icon. [.ShellClassInfo] IconResource=%ico%,0 after my script is done, Windows 10 recognizes that I have a custom folder icon (because it doesn't use the generated one, showing the icons inside the folder), however it instead shows an empty folder as the icon. If I place a .url file into the folder, then rename it (manually, does not work from cmd), the folder icon will refresh/update correctly to m
