To fix it, turn off hibernation, temporarily disable the pagefile, and turn off system restore, then try shrinking again. Afterward, you can turn those features back on. If that still doesn’t free up space, you’ll need a third-party partition tool to move those files and finish the shrink.

First thing I’d do is reset your network settings in Windows 11 and restart. Then grab the latest LAN and Wi-Fi drivers straight from your motherboard or PC maker’s site. If the DNS and proxy services are still stuck disabled, run a repair install of Windows 11 with the Media Creation Tool to...

Make sure the Bluetooth service is running, disable power saving on the adapter, and try the Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter. If that doesn’t work, uninstall and reinstall the Bluetooth driver (use...

Windows power settings don’t always act like strict rules. They’re more like suggestions, and other programs or devices can override them to stop problems like lost work or broken updates. That works fine for most people, but it leaves power users frustrated because their settings get ignored...

People and AI can both get things wrong, but in different ways. Humans actually believe stuff that might turn out false, while AI is just spitting out predictions and can sound right even when it’s not. The way we figure out what’s true is by testing it, checking the evidence, and seeing if...

Windows sleep settings guide your PC, but they don’t always have absolute control. Hardware, drivers, and software can override them—for example, network cards, USB devices, or apps might keep the PC awake to maintain connectivity or run tasks. Even Windows itself can temporarily prevent sleep...

AI “hallucinations” happen when it confidently gives wrong info. Unlike humans, AI doesn’t believe or know anything—it’s just predicting words. Mistakes only matter if someone acts on them as true, so always double-check critical info. Truth is what can be verified by reliable sources, and AI...

Notability isn’t available for Windows—it’s only for iOS and Mac. You can still check your notes on a Windows PC by exporting them as PDFs from your iPhone or Mac and opening them with any PDF reader. If you want a similar note-taking setup on Windows, apps like Microsoft OneNote, Evernote...
