Here's the short version: when I attempt to power up (using the power switch on the power supply) the computer powers up for only an instance and then powers off. Here's the long version: on Friday I attempted to upgrade to Windows 11. I got an error message early in the installation, so I...

Minimum processor state in advanced power settings does not make any difference in Windows 10/11 no matter what I set it to or what plan is active. Changing the Maximum processor state works just fine. I'm currently running Windows 11, but I had the same issue when using 10, so I imagine the...

Hello. I do a lot of cloning on all my machines, so far so good. I recently planned ahead and got a new laptop, to be able to go to W-11. Of course, I got one with Secure Boot. I am unable to do a clone any more as Acronis tries to boot from its USB media disk. I succeeded in getting rid of...

I have been searching for a solution to allow boot up only if a third party hardware is connected. For the new tech people. A similar solution was possible during the days of Windows 95 up to Win Me by using Dos. The idea is to disable all the HDD from booting and enabling USB and once the boot...
