  1. Win 11 Update locked my laptop!


    Doing regular update. Laptop restarts. Get a message something to the effect :"SOMETHING DIDN'T GO QUITE RIGHT...REMOVING FILES". It restarted again and when I hit the spacebar to go to the password prompt, the wallpaper blurs and no prompt appears. In the lower right hand corner is a power button and internet connection status icon but no password field. After about 30 seconds the wallpaper unblurs itself. If I try to get the password prompt again it just blurs the wallpaper with no prompt. I can't even get into my machine to see what the problem MIGHT be. I'm completely locked out Please hel

    :)

  2. Caps Lock Number Lock OSD Missing in windows 11 default.

    Try to add some basic feature's such as

    • Notification On screen for Caps lock and Number Lock.
    • Monitor Bright Control.
    • Auto Dark and Light Theme.
    • Volume Control for different devices

    Kindly update this in as soon as possible in both win 10 and win 11 as it is most basic feature.

  3. laptop win 11 incompatible, but attempts to reinstall at every reboot.

    I Know my laptop is NOT compatible with windows 11.

    (I have no TPM2.0 option visible in bios)

    My Processor

    ( Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50Ghz)

    whilst being above min. spec,

    is not currently supported either.

    I therefore, obviously have NO intention of attempting to upgrade to Win 11.

    The machine has other ideas !

    Auto-download has already downloaded, and attempted to/failed to install win 11, multiple times.

    Reading various comments elsewhere, At this point I should have been presented with the option:

    "Do not install windows 11" .

    I have not had this option, or I would have clicked on it !

    I do still however need to download windows 10 updates, at least whilst still supported.

    Automatic Downloads has been manually set to "off", in registry, and saved as such.

    Machine continues to ignore this, and is constantly downloading updates, regardless.

    Constantly Stuck in the following loop:

    "Windows was unable to update to windows 11. Reboot machine to roll back update".

    If I then hit reboot, and leave it alone to restart, it then stays on the updating (With timer spinning) screen for hours.

    If I hold PWR Button, to kill it. then manually reboot, it then restarts without this loop.

    I shouldn't need to do this every time I want to get in !

    How can I get out of this stupid loop?

    which update contains the windows 11 upgrade? There is nothing in the "Uninstall an Update" list, suggesting which one it is.

    Can someone offer a step by step please, which DOES NOT include the usual "Pause updates" routine, as that method has been tried, unsuccessfully.

    Regards.
