for some reason, Windows decides to dump everything onto my SSD, like when i install things and stuff by default, and I didn't realise how bad the situation got, and now I'm stuck with this. I would always select the ssd as a default option and now like genuinely, what do i do how do i transfer stuff from the ssd to the hdd and without like losing stuff and breaking everything and so that every program doesnt give me a file not found error i think every single thing that isnt a steam game is installed onto the ssd

in 2025 i wanted to change the windows 11 emoji to the older windows 10 emojis, so i followed tutorials from multiple sources to verify what i will be doing, and they all said i should delete seoge ui emoji font, and click "install for all users" in a different seoge ui emoji font.

i tried it, but there was no "install for all users" on the different seoge ui emoji, so i asked chat gpt (i know that it can be wrong, but NO ONE GOT THIS PROBLEM LIKE THIS ON THE INTERNET) and it said, that i should copy the seoge ui emoji from an older computer on a flash stick, and then install it.

i tried that, but then it said, after it didnt work, that it needs to be the same version, and if its an older version, everything emoji related will break with no solutions.

now im stuck in this nightmare emoji set, no way to get it fixed, and no ones gonna help me, because im the only one having this problem, and no one had replyed to my other cires for help on this matter, and probably on this one too.

details: no seoge ui emoji, windows 11 pro, OS build number: 22631.6199,

For reference, my monitor model is an LG model 24GN600. It’s not an issue with the cord connecting my PC and monitor since these flashing colors show up when I use HDMI and Display Port. The monitor works when connecting it to my Nintendo switch, but it only flashes when connected to my computer.

as described. I've tried plenty of fixes most of which involving resetting my pc. a combination of sfc scannow and a command I enter into a powershell fix it for all of 5 minutes before it breaks again. I have this after an sfc scannow. i dunno what to get from this.

Hi all,

Having a strange issue. I’ve had to reinstall a fresh new copy of windows and I’m trying to set everything back up again.

Currently I’m stuck trying to enter my microsoft account to microsoft flight simulator.

For those who haven’t played MSFS24, when you launch it (I’m launching through steam but I am also logged into the Xbox app as well) a microsoft login pop up opens and you are forced to enter your microsoft account details to play. Not really an issue other than I can’t actually enter anything in the email box or any other box in the pop up.

It doesn’t seem to just be isolated to MSFS game either as I was having similar issues when first setting up windows and it comes up with similar pop ups, prompting you to login to Microsoft. Luckily I managed to get around those but this, I can’t.

I’ve tried restarting the game/PC but I’m honestly drawing blanks here I can’t say I’ve had an issue like this. I’ve also tried using tab to get to the box but no joy

Appreciate any help, a video demonstration of me aggressively trying to click into the box below.

So I’m confused about something in Windows language settings.

I only have French installed, but in the language settings it shows english and under it french

I don’t understand how it can be both at the same time. Also sometimes my keyboard randomly switches to English while I’m playing or typing, which is really annoying.

Why is English even there if I didn’t install it?
And how do I completely remove it so it stops switching?

Thanks 🙏

Issue: This is my personal laptop and my main account (4th pic - https://imgur.com/a/OQwm8EI ) is already signed in as admin. My alt account is also signed as an admin to check if it works or not - It doesn't (3rd pic - https://imgur.com/a/OQwm8EI ). So, there are 2 issues i'm currently facing; Admin access and Tamper Protection.

Talking about Tamper Protection, I've tried the RegEdit method,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender

There was a policy key folder so I yeeted it to check if I could access Admin - I couldn't. (Yeeted it but it's back... https://imgur.com/a/OQwm8EI 2nd img)

Then I used the RegEdit to try to edit the Tamper Protection value to 5, which obviously failed.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features

(check image for error - https://imgur.com/a/OQwm8EI 1st img)

I googled a bit and ended up on Microsoft's forum and some fella said to edit this,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity

-> Enabled value and change from 1 to 0 to disable (source - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4182577/windows-security-tamper-protection-off-greyed-out )

Like always, I couldnt change the Tamper Protection.

However, after doing that, I had to uninstall Epic Games's Easy Anti Cheat as it was interfering with the Device Security (Core Isolation - Kernel mode).

I had to google to uninstall that seperately as after uninstalling Epic, it was still showing EAC error. I can't find what website I used to run the codes but they were Command Prompt commands, and I dont know if it worked with those or not as I manually searched for Epic/Easy in Program files 86x and manually uninstalled EAC for the 2 games that I had and then it finally disappeared.

Checked the Core Isolation and it worked.

I don't know what or which logs/information I'm supposed to attach, so, let me know and i'll attach them...

Thanks for your help!

P.S. - The link is to the direct post where all 4 screenshots are uploaded. If the link doesn't work let me know and i'll update with seperate posts/links.

Edit 1: Forgot to add this, (Pic 5 and 6 - https://imgur.com/a/OQwm8EI ). The smart windows defender keeps blocking the Powershell. This happened during the Core Isolation stuff.

Hey, i installed a third monitor and when im going from the main monitor to the top one the mouse instantly jumps to the monitor instead of going smoothly into the top screen like it does from the top into the bottom one, i keep on accidentally switching monitor when i want to close a app or something which is kinda annoying is there any way to fix this?

I use the Everything search app on my PC (Windows 11 Pro - version 25H2, i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD). When starting the app, I noticed that the default listing includes 3,000+ mp3 files, which are located in the trash. All are listed as 1kb. I tried emptying the trash, but they still show up. I tried copying one from Everything to the desktop and opening it, but got an error in my media player. I tried refreshing the list and even a forced rebuild of the index. The files still appear when viewing Everything and/or when viewing just audio files - even after emptying the trash - see attached image. Is this a Windows 11 issue or an Everything issue? Anyone have any idea what these are and/or how to get rid of them? TIA for any help

Any way I can fix this?

- Windows is fully updated.

- I just reinstalled windows. I've never had this issue before. Just noticed it on day 2.

- Tried googling as much as possible and literally could not find a similar issue. As all the issues were with people not being able to access tabs.
- I did have Explorer patcher. I fully wiped it and it did not help. I've used it for years and I don't believe it has
- Version 25h2

These two images appear after I entered in my email and password. I've cleared my cache and cookies, did the ip release/renew cmd commands, reset my password, and I've waited between logins up to 3 months to see if I was potentially locked out. Researching other methods that have worked for other redditors includes using this specific link (https://account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional) and it takes me to the error page as well. Does this on Edge and Mozilla... Thank you in advance.
