Windows 11 Dell laptop

Using the Print Screen Key in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8

To capture the entire screen:
Press the Windows logo key + PrntScrn key together.
On tablets, press the Windows logo button + the volume down button together. (The screenshot is saved in the Screenshots folder in the Pictures folder.)

To capture all active windows:
Press the PrntScrn key.

To capture a single active window:
Tap or click on the window you want to capture.
Press the Alt + PrntScrn keys together.

Fine but Pictures > Screen Shots does not exit on either of my two DEll Windows 11 laptops; where else could screen shots be stored?

Dell acknowledges security hole in new laptops

Major U.S. computer company Dell Inc [DI.UL] said on Monday a security hole exists in some of its recently shipped laptops that could make it easy for hackers to access users’ private data.

A pre-installed program on some newly purchased Dell laptops that can only be removed manually by consumers makes them vulnerable to cyber intrusions that may allow hackers to read encrypted messages and redirect browser traffic to spoofs of real websites such as Google or those belonging to a bank, among other attacks.

The recent situation raised is related to an on-the-box support certificate intended to provide a better, faster and easier customer support experience,” Dell said in a statement to Reuters. “Unfortunately, the certificate introduced an unintended security vulnerability.

Today we became aware that a certificate (eDellRoot), installed by our Dell Foundation Services application on our PCs, unintentionally introduced a security vulnerability. The certificate was implemented as part of a support tool and intended to make it faster and easier for our customers to service their system. Customer security and privacy is a top concern and priority for Dell; we deeply regret that this has happened and are taking steps to address it.

The certificate is not malware or adware. Rather, it was intended to provide the system service tag to Dell online support allowing us to quickly identify the computer model, making it easier and faster to service our customers. This certificate is not being used to collect personal customer information. It’s also important to note that the certificate will not reinstall itself once it is properly removed using the recommended Dell process.

We have posted instructions to permanently remove the certificate from your system here. We will also push a software update starting on November 24 that will check for the certificate, and if detected remove it. Commercial customers who reimaged their systems without Dell Foundation Services are not affected by this issue. Additionally, the certificate will be removed from all Dell systems moving forward.

Your trust is important to us and we are actively working to address this issue. We thank customers such as Hanno Böck, Joe Nord and Kevin Hicks, aka rotorcowboy, who brought this to our attention. If you ever find a potential security vulnerability in any Dell product or software, we encourage you to visit this site to contact us immediately.

Dell laptop not sleeping - what is DHCPv6ReSolicit activator?

I am having problems with my Dell laptop not sleeping. It is running Windows 11 22000.466. I ran SleepStudy a few times recently and a top offender is DHCPv6ReSolicit. I tried googling this term and it brings back near zero results. Any suggestions where to go from here?

Of course I have tried all of the standard steps:

Run Windows Update

Check for updates from Dell

Run the Windows Power Troubleshooter

I would be happy to share more information, just let me know what else would be helpful.
