This is so strange. It may happen a couple of times a day, or not at all. When it does happen there will be, every minute or 30 seconds, a 2-second delay to both typing and scrolling. This affects three browsers, Steam and Windows itself. I can get rid of it by rebooting, but not much else...
How do you recover data/repair from a drive failure in Windows 10 Storage Spaces?
I have 4X 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 (mirroring). I assumed that meant that a copy of the data was also stored on the other drives since only 8TB of the 16TB is available. I ID'd the failing drive and...

Hi there
since December 24th, my Windows 11 desktop is not loading anymore after I logged in. The only things I can do is open the windows task manager or display the shutdown icon which I use (holding the SHIFT key while press reboot icon) to do a system recovery from a few days before.

My computer has dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 10, and is connected to two monitors. Both monitors display normally on Windows 7, but on Windows 10 only one monitor is working. Although both monitors are listed in the display settings, the second monitor cannot display. What should I do?
I have had a particular Arduino Nano working in my PC for about 13 months.
Now it doesn't.
When I connect, or unplug it, I hear the Windows "device connected/disconnected" sound.
However, it does not show up in Device Manager's Com Ports list. (It used to be Com19)
Any ideas how to get it back?
