Windows 10: Multiple install failures of Windows 11 on a compatible pc. No error message.

I have tried disabling my antivirus software and my printer, but still no success. My latest thought is that I have an internet connected pc that runs on Windows 11.Could that be the problem? We share email accounts, cloud, and internet access. Not particularly internet savvy. Microsoft keeps downloading Windows 11 afterevery failed install.

PC is compatible to install windows 11, But doesn't work.

Hello, So I've tried installing windows 11 multiple times. I've installed PC Health Check and It says that my PC is compatible to upgrade with windows 11. I've tried the windows 11 assistant about 3 times and I keep getting an error saying "We can't tell if your PC is ready to continue installing windows 11, Try restarting the setup" (Which I have multiple times). So I decided to do a fresh install of windows 10 so it could possibly fix the problem, and I tried restarting the assistant and it still doesn't work. I tried using Windows 11 Installation Media with a USB and it says that the PC isn't compatible. (PC Health Check says it is) So I tried downloading

Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) and it gives me the same message that the PC isn't compatible to install windows 11. (again, PC Health Check says it is) My PC has Secure Boot on, UEFI, and everything it needs to be able to upgrade to Windows 11.

Here are my computer specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz, 3000 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

BIOS Mode: UEFI
Motherboard: PRIME H310M-E R2.0
Secure Boot State: On

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
RAM: 16 GB
SSD Space: 400 GB

 

Printer not working, "No compatible printer installed" error message after recent update in Windows 10.

Hello Roger,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



The error message “No compatible printer installed” means, the printer driver which is currently installed on your device is not compatible with Windows 10 operating system.



Since you did not get a compatible driver from the manufacturer’s website for Windows 10, I suggest you to install the printer driver in
compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: Compatibility mode runs the program in the current version of Windows using the settings from previous version of Windows.

• 
  Download the latest driver setup file from the manufacturer’s website or locate the driver setup file of the previous operating system in your PC.
  
• 
  Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
  properties.
  
• 
  Click on the compatibility tab, check the box
  Run this program in compatibility mode for, select Windows 10 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
  
• 
  Once the driver is installed in compatibility mode,
  restart the PC for the effective changes to take place.
  

Step 2: You can also follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard and type Run programs made for previous versions of Windows.
  
• 
  Select the top most search result and follow from step 2 from the article
  Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
  (Also applies to Windows 10).
  

Write back to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

3DMark 11 v1.0.4 Released, Now Fully Compatible with Windows 8

Futuremark updated 3DMark 11 to version 1.0.4, which makes the benchmark fully compatible with Windows 8. The update also addresses other compatibility issues and a few uncommon bugs. Benchmark scores are not affected and scores from this new version can be compared with scores from the previous version 3DMark 11 v1.0.3.





DOWNLOAD: 3DMark 11 v1.0.4
Improvements:

• Keyboard focus is no longer checked during the demo or when running the benchmark in a loop. Note that if the display switches to the desktop due to a popup window during the benchmark, the run will still be aborted as the display mode is no longer the same.
• 3DMark 11 now remembers the last custom resolution used.
• GPU count detection for multi-GPU systems is now correct even when SystemInfo is explicitly disabled.
• 3DMark 11 will now prevent Windows from entering Sleep during the test.
• The license key is now reset when the benchmark is reinstalled, allowing removal of invalid keys.

Compatibility:

• SystemInfo updated to version 4.15 for full Windows 8 compatibility.
• Updated DirectX redistributable.
• Now using static Visual C++ 2010 runtime libraries to fix rare installation issues on some systems.
• Removed dependency on EvaDotNet.dll and EvaDotNet.DirectX.dll for GPU enumeration to fix compatibility issues with some systems.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed display initialization code that caused "SetFullscreenState failed: DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE" errors on some systems.
• Fixed several memory and texture leaks, improving stability during very long looping runs.
• The HUD timer no longer rolls over if a single test takes more than ten minutes. (Yes, this could happen during the Combined Test on some low end DirectX 11 cards.)

Professional Edition Only:

• Fixed submitting saved files to 3dmark.com from the command line.
• Image Quality Tool no longer gives a cryptic error if the output directory does not exist.
