driver issues

The model "DELL Inspiron 5379 2-in-1" does not officially support Windows 11. However, I upgraded anyway, and the result is so far, so good in most parts. However, the USB Ethernet adapter is getting disconnected once in a while. I tried a TP-Link UE300 and an Amazon Basic, and the two adapters...

Hey all, this is my first thread on the forum so please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. Do note that I'm using AtlasOS (click here) which is a modification of Windows 10 (I think this was happening when I had pure Windows 10 also). I'm having a problem with my HP EliteBook 8570p as it...

Hello y'all. I have an unusual problem with my display resolution. As many others, I have an older Dell laptop with an Intel Graphics 3000 adapter. Like many others, Windows 10 suddenly won't let me change the resolution to 1920. But in my unique case this happens only ONCE IN A WHILE. A...
