  1. Windows 11 Update in the past week broke my laptop


    Ever since I downloaded the most recent update most of the programs on my laptop refuse to work. Any game launcher crashes whenever I try to open it. Even file explorer crashes if I try to do anything in it besides open it and look at it. I've tried a windows 11 reset to try and clear anything up that was maybe corrupted. I've ran every troubleshooter. I can't find anyone online with the same problem as me. This is getting ridiculous and I dont want to have to manually go back to windows 10 because that would require me going to buy a flash drive just to fix this problem. Please help me do thi

    :)

    Internet Explorer 11; Windows 10....Stopped Working

    IE11; Windows 10. For the past 2 weeks when I open IE11 I get Internet Explorer has Stopped working POPUP message rendering IE 11 unusable.

    I have followed suggested Fixes by "Resetting" IE11; Use Software Rendering...is NOT checked. I have tried to use "System Restore" and go back to a Restore Point prior to 2 weeks but, I get unable to restore to xx/xx/xxxx because the process cannot file iexplorer.exe.

    I have tried several Restore Points...get this same result.

    I cannot fine the Internet 11 Install Update to delete it as it is not in the list History\Installed Updates.

    Surely there must be away to fix IE 11...I have run out of things to do...suggestions with steps will be appreciated.

    Windows update this past week -- Windows activation

    Since an update occurred this past week, I am getting a message to activate Windows. I have a Dell laptop that came with Windows 8 and was upgraded to Windows 10 Home during the free upgrade last year.

    Looking at the list of updates, I see that KB3211320 and KB3213986 were installed on Feb 16 and Feb 19.

    Is anyone else having these issues?

    How do I find the key from the Windows 10 Home to enter since these updates?

    Thanks,

    Stu
