  1. Reset CMOS, now my Windows suddenly isn't activated.


    Hey all, rest the CMOS on my motherboard to troubleshoot an issue I had with my computer. When I started it again however, I got the "Activate Windows" notification. I've tried running the troubleshooter, but that hasn't helped at all. I got my license by porting it over from my laptop since I used the same Microsoft account on both devices. The key is still seemingly there, but the troubleshooter is saying that it's not activated.Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  3. CMOS Reset (502) + No Wifi Options + No Battery Charge

    I have an HP Envy x360 Convertible running Windows 11 version 21H2 with the following issues:

    • Boots to blue screen"CMOS Reset (502) The CMOS checksum is invalid" and then proceeds to normal OS except:
    • Network & Internet will not detect any wifi network (though there are several available) Device manager shows intel(r) wifi-6 ax200 = This device cannot start (Code 10). Rollback Driver in device management is no longer an available option.
    • Power detects the charger while connected but unit immediately loses power once disconnected.
    Troubleshooting steps completed:

    • Multiple hardware diagnostic tests with no indication of issue
    • Rollback for drivers (doing this would allow an internet connection but power issues persisted)
    • Complete factory reset & OS reinstall (locally, without USB)
    What are my next steps to avoid unnecessary cost and/or further trial & error:

    • Restore to new OS from USB?
    • Go somewhere for more thorough hardware diagnostic?
    Thank you !

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
