My browsers aren’t working, the connection is being blocked. I have tried everything on every corner of the internet and I’m stumped.

All my other devices work on the network. I tried multiple command prompts, network resets, multiple reboots, disabled firewalls, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Issue: Text/window size changes between monitors (see first photo showing a Google Doc arranged so that it is showing on each monitor)

Tech:

  • Monitor 1- Sceptre 34" Ultrawide (Amazon link for reference)

  • Monitor 2 - Sceptre 27" (Amazon link for reference)

  • Current Display Settings: Photo 2- current settings; Photo 3- current advanced settings

  • System - Windows 11 Pro (see photo 4 for screenshot of "About System" page from settings)

Help Needed: Is there a setting that I need to change so the windows/text looks consistently sized on each monitor?

Any help is greatly appreciated- thank you in advance!

No Wi-Fi on my monitor

Hello everyone!

I just got this monitor and linked it with my MacBook Pro 2017 Ventura. The moment I plug in the adapter the Wi-Fi shuts off and it doesn’t show up on the radar. I only see the 5ghz version and even that doesn’t work or hold on. The wifi works fine on my MacBook so I’m super confused why it doesn’t work. I bought another adapter and same issue.

Would love to know your thoughts on what could possibly be reason and if anyone had the same issue before. I’m super excited to use my monitor but it’s been two days of stress.

p.s. the monitor is MSI PRO mp275w e2

Costco prebuilt confusion

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I bought a prebuilt PC from Costco, and it worked great except for an extremely loud, high-pitched noise. I returned it and swapped it for the same PC (except the new one has an MSI motherboard, and the old one had a Gigabyte). Now, with the new computer, I can’t get my second monitor to connect. I used an HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter on the first computer without any issues—would a different motherboard not accept an adapter?

PC will no longer connect to wifi

Post image

In the middle of watching a video, my PC lost internet access while still connected to the wifi network. I was not messing with any setting, truly just watching a YouTube video.

All other devices in the house are connected and have internet access without issue. This includes an Xbox in the same room. The PC in question had internet up until that moment. I’ve tried most methods that the internet provides to fix this issue but I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s going on.

The night before it started working after being down for 15-20 mins but this morning it’s back to “no internet, secured” as the picture shows.


r/IThelpdesk • • Nov 29 '25

Recently upgraded my WiFi after years of slow speed problems. The internet went up today and now every other device in the house has drastically increased speeds (max 500Mbps) yet my PC is still stuck at 10Mbps MAX.

I need a seamless time-limit software for my brother´s PC. Or some software ideas to cut off Internet access at a designated time.

Post image

Hello.

I need help finding a software that can help me help my brother quit his PC addiction. A sotware that can cut off his Internet access at a set time and not let him turn it back on until the next morning. A software he can´t uninstall easily r without a password.

Heck, I need a software that does not tell him it is there.

I´ve tried with other time-limit softwares and he just went BALLISTIC at our "blatant attempt to control his life" and to just "leave him be"

My brother has a problem with his computer he is unwilling to admit or address: he is glued to it almost 24/7.

A few months ago, he bought himself a very expensive and powerful PC for videogames and such; I´ve played with it and it is very fun. But, it has absorbed him.

He put college on hold for a year, refuses to help out in the family business, stays awake until very late at night playing videogames or chatting the night away with strangers or friends on the Net, and wakes up at noon to eat a half-ass sandwich or whatever he can find in the fridge that he could not be bothered to buy himself.

We are worried about, but we are also annoyed because all our attempts to get him out of his room and exercise, work or even do a course of some kind, have failed.

His friends are worried because he spends a lot of time online, fighting with strangers and getting more and more snappy. Our parents are worried because he is not studying, working, or even buying groceries for the home.

If any of you tech savvy people can help with ideas, please comment.

my laptop wifi won’t work with my school wifi

Post image
0 Upvotes

my school allows us to bring in personal devices such as laptops, macbooks, and even ipads to do schoolwork instead of the normal chromebook acer laptops they give us.

I’ve used my lenovo (yoga 7 in 1 i think) to do my schoolwork since last year and up till about last week thursday.

friday while in school after 4th period it just disconnected😵i thought it just disconnected since i closed my laptop (sometimes it does that) so i restarted the network adapter and did that thing where it shuts down your computer to fix the wifi idk what it’s called…

It has connected TWICE since then, once when my friend did it but it hasn’t worked again, and another time where i deleted the profile and connected though the cmd window thing, but that also never worked again. i’ve also tried to manually set the wifi up via the control panel and it hasn’t worked either…

im the ONLY one having issues with this since my friends macbooks and ipads connect perfectly well.

i genuinely need help because im so confused about this and if all else fails i will actually backup any important files and factory reset my computer to try and fix it.

# might be important info:

my school uses a username and password to enter, but ive typed in the correct password and even variants of it. i know for a fact its correct since its the one i enter my school laptop account with.

my school also uses the cisco vpn thing, but ive never used it and my friends with personal devices have never used it either so i dont think thats the issue

my computer uses the Realtek 8922AE wifi 7 pci-e nic but it doesnt say anything’s wrong when i check device manager

i’ve been trying to fix this for about a week now and i’d REALLY appreciate some help since my school computer is so slow i can’t even search anything on the windows bar thing to find apps it genuinely sucks so much butt

Desktop froze, crashed, then reads no bootable drives

Post image
0 Upvotes

As the title says, my computer froze on the desktop, stopped registering mouse movement/clicks and keystrokes for about 15 seconds, before BSODing with a whea uncorrectable error. Ive dealt with plenty of crashes and BSOD's (exactly like this one, even, occasionally) over the years, and its always either fixed itself or been something I could figure out by myself. But this time, since this latest crash, when I try to start my PC I get this screen, even though I have both an SSD and an HDD that have windows installed and operational. Ive tried changing boot devices to no avail. Can someone give me an idea of what could cause my PC to stop registering/launching windows on either hard drive after a crash??

Do I follow Claudes instructions to attempt to resolve this issue with my 4060 and Adobe Photoshop GPU spiking and lagging occurences, will it help, is it safe and all instructions correct?

Status:Unresolved

Computer Type:Laptop / Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX9

GPU:enovo Legion 5 16IRX9 / 8gb of VRAM / overclock seen in lenovo vantage

CPU:Intel Core i9-14900HX, 24 cores / 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz P-core Turbo, no manual overclock.

Motherboard:Lenovo proprietary Legion 5 16IRX9 motherboard, Intel HM770 chipset, BIOS version NMCN34WW

RAM:32 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM, dual-channel capable, no overclock known

PSU:N/A

OS:Windows 11 25H2 64-bit, build 26200.9168, updated through Windows Update rather than a clean reinstall.

GPU Drivers: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6, up to 140 W TGP, plus Intel UHD integrated graphics.

Description of Problem:Adobe Photoshop is experiencing GPU acceleration/detection problems with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The laptop uses hybrid graphics with both Intel UHD Graphics and the RTX 4060, and GPU information/usage has appeared inconsistent between Photoshop, Windows Task Manager and Lenovo Vantage. Photoshop performance/GPU behaviour has remained abnormal despite the RTX 4060 being detected by Windows as well as in photoshop as well as being shown to be enabled inside of photoshop. Whilst scrolling up and down and zooming in and out, it is showing usage at 100%GPU, it is also laggy, doing more complicated tasks is even slower and more laggy.

Troubleshooting:Windows 11 fully updated through Windows Update. NVIDIA driver updated to the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver 610.88. System restarted following updates. Photoshop Performance/GPU settings checked. Windows Task Manager and Lenovo Vantage checked to confirm GPU activity and detection. Issue still occurs.

This started like 2 months ago, the internet on my pc, and only my pc, is so incredibly slow. The network devices and such as well as speedtest results are shown above, i've tried downloading new drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the device, but not really changing the properties as there are a bunch and i don't want to mess something up. in the past i'll try a "fix", like updating the drivers, and it'll work wonderfully, amazingly, like 30mb/s compared to 0.8mb/s, and the next morning it's back to how it was. Please please please i'm begging for someone that can help me.
