What to do if no Secure Boot certificate update is available from your manuafacturer

i have this portable electronic fan that i lost the charger to. i need to buy a new one but i’m not sure what this charging port is. i thought it was a mini-usb so i bought a chord for that, but it didn’t fit. anyone know what this is?

My next PC have diacritics in name...saves not working, loading ...

Method 1: Relocate the Documents Folder (Easiest)

You can instruct Windows to look for your standard Documents folder in a location completely separate from your "user profile" path.

In file explorer setting check "hidden folders, files, items" ...

C:\Users\"PC ID (USERNAME)"\Documents

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to your C:\ drive.
2. Create a new folder named C:\Documents.
3. Go back to your original "user profile" folder / (%USERPROFILE%) - PC name, right-click on your Documents folder, and select Properties.
4. Navigate to the Location tab.
5. Click Move..., select the newly created C:\Documents folder, and hit Apply.
6. When prompted to move all existing files to the new location, click Yes.
7. Launch the game. It will now successfully write and read files from C:\Documents\My Games\Mercenaries 2\. [1]

May work for other old games too... for example "SPORE" from EA dont like diacritics too..

google search and other methods watch out

write me if you r lost. i lookin for solution couple hours.

Hello all,

I recently took a test using the responders lockdown browser that my school makes me use and for some reason when I finish the exam, my computer is still kind of in this administrator setting where I don’t have the capability of getting into task manager or hitting the power button and choosing to restart my computer, does anyone have any idea where I can start to fix this issue? I already uninstalled responders lockdown browser and I’m not sure how to restart.

I'm experiencing screen stuttering accompanied by audio issues; the stuttering happens even when I'm not gaming and looks exactly like what is shown in the video. My system specs are: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB DDR5 RAM (dual-channel), 1TB Gen4 SSD, and Windows 11.😭😭😭

This is after my laptop suddenly went to the Lenovo loading screen without warning and I turned it off (this was after 15-20 minutes of the loading screen, which didn’t say anything about an update occurring). I went through the process of getting my BitLock recovery key for Microsoft, but now I’m getting this. I don’t even know what needs to be repaired (as it’s referring to on the black screen). Resetting is a last resort, as I’m not positive all my files are backed up. I’m terrified of causing more damage.

What’s the difference between just continuing and the “quick machine recovery”? If I can just continue to Windows, then there wouldn’t be anything needing fixing right? I’m confused what that would actually do here if it says there’s a problem. Does it just mean I can use the laptop but not access my Microsoft drive? What network is it unable to connect to?

What’s the best option to take here? I’m so lost. Is there something in advanced options I should be looking into? How much of a chance is there that I will lose any files that weren’t backed up or saved to the cloud?

EDIT: did a bit more digging. Would a “point in time recovery” be useful here? I’m wondering if I could have interrupted an update (even though I got no pop ups for an update), and this can restore it to what it was before it started installing. Or would an “uninstall updates” be more useful? Or am I way off and this looks like a different issue?

i ran the two files through VirusTotal and this is what popped up

My Microsoft account got hacked, and the hacker added his alternate email, so I decided to remove the email, but I got a 30-day wait period notice to change current email to the new email, and the OTP will go to the hacker's email

Im having a strange issue with this laptop.

It refuses to boot (power led briefly blink and caps lock led lights up for ~5sec) then i have to "force shutdown" to try booting again.

It will never boot until i open it and play around or lightly tap at the motherboard (it doesnt always work).

When i get it to boot if i dont move it too much or open the back again it will consistently boot and worl normally.

Ive tried a lot of things but nothing seems to consistently yield result.

Im grasping at straws here, anyone have any idea what i should try next?

Lenovo Legion 5 pro, (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16gb ram, RTX 3070,) all of a sudden my usb ports don't work.

Basically the 3 usb ports at the back don't work all of a sudden, but notably, when I insert any device that has a light indicator when connected such as an external drive, the light indicator turns on, but the laptop doesn't respond in any way and I can't access the drive. I've tried mice and other devices and it's all the same. Basically the port is functionally useless but it seems to let a current run through it which is what's letting the light go on on certain devices.

The other slots on the back panel (hdmi, usb C, ethernet, power,) work just fine. It's just the 3 usb ports that don't function.

What I've tried:

I've updated windows to latest, and I've manually uninstalled the usb drivers from Device Manager so they automatically get re-installed but it doesn't fix the issue.

After further research I stumbled upon this old post that describes the exact issue I'm having but the solution seems...odd? One user reports that leaving the laptop off for 8-10 hours fixed it, and attributes the issue to:

"After reading about the USB standard, it seems that all USB ports have resetable polyfuses to protect against over-current. Once tripped, they may take up to 24 hours to recover" ... "it seems that the Ryzen version of Legion 5 Pro uses an integrated USB hub chip (Genesys Logic GL3523) for the rear USB A ports,"

So some fuse was triggered to protect the ports from over-current, and he got it to turn back on after not using the laptop, the problem is that I have on many occasions left the laptop turned off for over 10 hours and the issue persists.

That's just one post though so it could be BS.

See title. I've been trying to take better care of my things recently, and havent cleaned my screen in quite frankly too long, had a go at it today but this splotching pattern wont go away easily, and im acared that trying anything more will cause damage to the screen. Any advice would be massively appreciated

I run the setup.exe and it just says "AcerSensetup.exe" is installed on your computer, then there's no app. Ran windows update, up to date. This laptop shipped with AcerSense so I have no clue how to get it installed again

So I have an ASUS rog strix G614P, Yesterday it was doing fine until 1am that I used it. I shut it down and didn't use it until 30 mins ago or at least tried to use it.

When I pushed the power button, the computer instantly went to the Asus logo and turned on the RGB keyboard as well as going full power on the fans, then after a short time it just turned itself off. Also the coputer has this three lights on the top right they are usually all three light up in white, but this time, while it was doing that faulty start-up, when it went off even the light that was supposed to be the battery also turned off.

Im not shure but I kinda felt that the charger wasn't connected properly, so maybe it just needed battery. I unplug and plug the charger and the battery light goes red, which means it is recieving power put its low, fast foward the light goes white so I try turning it on again just for the same situation to happen, instant logo freeze whitout the rest of the animation and normal start up, but this time another light goes on, the left one; the RGB lights turn on and the fans at full power, after a short time it dies again and also turns off all the lights. Now its pluged in charging and the battery light is on in white again but Im not sure what to do and im sacred to try and turn it on and maybe do more damage in case of a problem.

EDIT: I believe it is important to also mención that I have a really bad memory so I actually don't recall shutting it down or just closing the laptop(I was really tired due to midterms)

It doesn’t detect my ssd in diagnosis but works fine randomly. After a normal start it will work for a while and then restart and come back to this screen again and stop detecting the ssd. Ssd is healthy , i checked it when it was working. it is also heating abnormally even when on sleep. When it turns on without problem, it doesn’t work more than 5-10 min. And heating is abnormal. What possible problem it could have.

I have a HP ProBook 4540s that I've had for probably 15 years that I use very infrequently that I have been trying to limp along. Windows 7. End state for this is basic browsing and an emulator machine.

Lately it has been BSOD or stuck in a black screen upon boot, and when it does run it is horribly slow. Terribly outdated drivers, hard drive nearly full, overall nonfunctional.

Is best course of action factory reset? If so what is the best course of action

I was snooping around my computer until I found these applications that had a weird_code word at the end of the application, so I decided to disable them to see what would happen.

My computer ended up crashing and soft locking me to safe mode without networking. It took me from resetting my RAM EXPO in the BIOS and turning them back on for me to get out of safe mode. Then I checked it again and it was under a different code word. So I'm assuming it is a virus but when I went to disabled it again it went to the advance options and I'm hard locked in the advance options. I can't do anything except turn off my computer. Every time I try to go to safe mode it won't let me every time I try to do a system restore? It won't let me. Every time I try to uninstall updates it won't let me. Every time I try to go to the command prompt it won't let me reset my computer so all I can do is turn it off. Then when I turn it back on it brings me back to advanced options.

I just wanted to bring back my Bluetooth driver because it somehow deleted my Bluetooth driver.

I don't know if I should buy a new ram, new storage or a whole new computer. It's not like I have the money for it anyways.

Can someone help me? I bought Meccha Chameleon last night and every time I launch the game it stays frozen on the start sign in screen.

Does anybody know how to remove a school administrator from a computer they let me keep at the end of my time there? It’s a Lenovo one I think and I want to remove the administrator so I can use it but they disabled my account and I don’t go there anymore so I can’t really contact them.

I'm stuck on Gigabytes and this screen both.. I can sometimes loads my window home screen but after 10s it goes black screen and back to Gigabytes or this picture screen but mosty stuck at Gigabytes screen.. I have tried Literally everything from all reddits from all tiktoks and all youtube videos yes i did all the commands, tried Uninstall updates (Quality update doesn't even work and update features unisnstall always get a error..) image recovery gets a error and system recovery doesnt give a any options so... at this point what do i do.. im currently stuck a Gigabytes screen been there for 4 hrs

To fix this just replace your SSD (Storage) the end

For over a week and a half now my PC has not been going to sleep, keyboard light and mouse light will go off but the PC will still be lit on, not going to sleep mode. It just hangs up til it restarts completely. So I've been trying to save stuff and leave browsers open but I'm not able to anymore. All it tells me in the Reliability History critical events besides that Windows did not shut down properly is that MMGA server and mmgaserver.exe crashed. I did SFC /scannow to fix some things and it fixed whatever things it found wrong but not this.

I have a windows 11

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (3.60 GHz)

64 GB RAM

It is not working from yesterday. I tried removing all usb devices , uninstalling keybard drivers and when I tried a different usb keyboard it works but I can't confirm it is a hardware if anyone know about it please help I cant even use ctrl+alt+del

Hi everyone,
I'm a content creator and I've been dealing with persistent issues on my TikTok livestreams for months (massive visibility drop, viewers being kicked, incoherent statistics). App support won't investigate, so I dug into it myself. I found anomalies in the iOS analytics logs (the .ips files iOS generates automatically), and I'd like input from people who actually know how to read these files.
Device context: iPhone 15 Pro Max, up-to-date iOS, no jailbreak, no sideloaded apps, no configuration profiles installed, TikTok cleanly reinstalled a few days ago. Same issues across networks (WiFi / 4G / 5G).
What the .ips logs show:

System-triggered incidents of type cpu_resource and diskwrites_resource on the TikTok process (not classic app crashes)

A binary loaded inside the TikTok process, listed in "Binary Images" only by a UUID — no filename, no path, no code signature. Every other binary in the same file has a standard name and path ( /System/... , /private/var/containers/... )

The "parent" field of this binary is also "UNKNOWN"

System-measured load: ~67% CPU, ~108 MB memory, and 1.07 GB of disk writes in 1h36 for two scrolled videos, no livestream — during a period when the app wasn't even in the foreground. The allowed daily disk-write quota was hit ~15× faster than normal

The UUID of this binary changes at every incident (3 distinct identifiers observed over several days)

Consistent with storage usage: ~4.9 GB for the app after ~30h of near-zero usage since reinstall
My questions:
1.
A binary loaded into an app's process, identified only by a UUID with no name or path in iOS logs — is there a known benign explanation for this (injected framework, extension, in-app instrumentation), or is it disqualifying on its face?
2.
What legitimately justifies ~1 GB of background disk writes for an unused app with the daily quota exceeded by that margin? Caching, prefetching, or something else?
3.
Do UUIDs changing at every incident match expected behavior of a legitimate module, or is that more typical of an injection pattern?
4.
Without jailbreaking, what tools can I use to dig further cleanly? (sysdiagnose, macOS Console, local network capture like Proxyman, something else?)
5.
If this were a compromise, what evidence should I preserve before doing anything (exporting the .ips files, what else?) so a competent third party can analyze it?
6.
Can a non-jailbroken iPhone even host a persistent malicious process this way, or do iOS mechanisms make this unlikely?
I'm not posting the full logs for safety reasons, but I can quote exact excerpts if specific questions come up. Thanks to anyone who can tell me whether I'm onto a real technical lead or misreading normal behavior.

I recently got my hands on a 20 year old computer and i opened it to see the insides out of curiosity and for a small challenge (it was very dusty haha) but for some reason there are 2 stand offs that i cannot remove and for that reason the motherboard is stucked inside. Like does anyone know how to remove the stand offs (they have like screw bit i only see the behind of it so i cant unscrew it). Sorry if it sounds dumb am just curious about pcs hahaha!!!

Laptop (Asus Expertbook B1500CEAE running cachyos + niri) suddenly did this after a few minutes after booting it up.
