Windows 10: Weird boot situation

I have a really weird boot setup, and due to this, I'm not able to recover Windows 11 normally. Right now, I am dual-booting Windows, 11 and Windows 8.1. I am trying to put the Windows installer on my flash drive, but Chrome doesn't have enough disk space, which is wrong, because the USB has enough disk space. So, I try to boot Windows in safe mode with networking. I have to use a special Wi-Fi antenna because I recently moved my computer. Although, safe mode doesn't load the driver for the antenna, and won't let me load it back. When I try to boot Windows 11 normally, a black screen appears a

Really weird situation with my OneDrive Folder on PC.


I recently moved my OneDrive folder from my User folder to my D: drive. I went through the unlink process then signed in again. The location shown was in my User folder. I specified my D drive as the new location and syncing completed with no problems. My OneDrive folder pointed to my D drive.

Now the weird situation. On my Quick Access menu in file manager I have my User Folder pinned to it. In the list of folders I have a OneDrive folder. This points to my OneDrive folder on my D Drive. However, if I display my User folder any other way and with any other File Manager type program my OneDrive folder does not show up. Even booting into Linux can't find it. It is only via Quick Access do I see the OneDrive folder in my User folder.

It's almost as if the 'weird' folder is some sort of Junction Point, Symlink, etc. but all my utilities that display this sort of info does not list it as any sort of link. Where the heck is this folder coming from? It certainly isn't a real folder so I suspect it might be something created in the Registry. Also I confirmed it does not take up any space just as a Junction Point does. All my files are on my D drive.

Everything works fine. I am just curious why the OneDrive folder in my User folder only shows up in my Quick Access list. Also, if I delete the OneDrive folder from my Quick Access list it will also delete it on my D drive.

Any thoughts on this situation. I am baffled by it. *Banghead

PC wont boot up (No POST, No Video)

Aren't we being a little harsh? I know I can't be the only other person on this forum to have skipped checking the official memory compatibility list when building a computer. Had I been in the same situation and followed the same steps I would have thought I got a bum board too, regardless of whether or not the memory was on that list.
