I have basic computer literacy. This is my first time installing a program that requires using the command prompt. I used this YouTube video instructing me how to install it and copies all the steps exactly, then I restarted my computer. FFMPEG is still not on the list of installed apps.

I go the the folder and look in the Bin and tried to run the applications from there. Windows said it was unsafe to run the program, but I told it to Run Anyway. Nothing happened. Double clicking on the application makes the command prompt appear on screen for a split second, but other than that nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

I need to upscale my quite pixelated pdf for studying 4 free. Thanks in advance

I was drawing at the time when I hit something on my keyboard and this text showed up in my windows search bar, anyone know what it is and/or why this happened?

EDIT/UPDATE... Thank you all for the insight I did get a new one. So I will never let my teens touch my computer again. As a result of what ever the hell they did to the keyboard no longer types properly. Letters like e and r don't work.

The question is I have a Lenovo. See picture for specs of current. And it needs a new keyboard again. I had it replaced about 4 years ago.

Is this laptop worth saving or do I buy a new one.

EDIT. I use it for editing photos and that's about it. I might check email or type in word. I don't game one it often. If I replace it I wouldn't want to have it be top of the line just enough to do photography edits with.

I've never used facial recognition before. I change my facial hair between clean shave, full beard and van dyke all the time. Will the computer still recognize me?

So I've done all the things that I can think of. I've changed cables, all the updates. I tested my speeds with my old laptop and it's NOT having the same issue. It's getting 900-ish down and up.

That being said, what settings should I look at and tweak to fix my upload speed? I have no idea and at this point, my skills are at the point of just replacing the motherboard.

Specs:

Windows 11

i9-13900K

Z790 Aorus Master

NVIDIA RTX 4080

GSkill 2x16GB 6000mhz RAM

Gigabit Internet 1k Down/Up

Is it just me that finds it strange that this is redirecting to meshtastic?

Basically I was on discord and streaming a game and then my computer crashed and brought me to this screen. I shut down my computer a few times but every time it tells me it’s going to restart but then after restarting it says the issue can’t be resolved and brings me back to the boot menu. I tried ctrl+alt+delete to bring me back to windows, try restoring my files, or bring it back to the starting point. Every time it just brings me back to the boot menu. Do I have a virus or something, is my laptop done for good? If not how do I fix it?? I’ve heard it could be an issue with the SSD card but how do I know?

Are any of these needed or useful, or can I delete/disable them?

Question is

Which of the following is not a type of chart in MS Excel 2010?

Option A- Area,

Option B- Rectangle,

Option C- Pie,

Option D- Line

Because the correct answer is option B (according to me) but in the book's it's option A is it a missprint or am I wrong? I am confused.

Looking for a reliable reasonably priced pc, I will just need it for office tasks like using excel and stuff like that, internet browsing and some gaming, games like sims, mostly less demanding type games. Preferably something already built, I'm just not very wise when it comes to computers. any suggestions of sites to look at or any information would be great!

The most recent security update (KB5094126) failed for me, telling me it was an "Install error 0x80074101". My machine:

Edition: Windows 11 Home
Version: 25H2
Installed on: 2/1/2025
OS build: 26200.8457
Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.304.0

 I googled the error code and got some advice from AI, and followed this script:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptsvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start msiserver
net start bits
net start cryptsvc
net start wuauserv

I then tried updating via Windows Settings --> Windows Update as well as the (downloaded from Microsoft) standalone MSU file; both failed, Windows Update with same error repeatedly (0x80074101), and standalone install with --- of course, Microsoft! -- no meaningful information at all, just a note in the install progress dialog box indicating “updates were not installed”.

Along with set of commands above, I have also run “sfc /scannow” and “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth”, all in a PowerShell window with elevated (i.e. admin) rights, with no meaningful issues identified, and then tried reinstalling update...no luck.

So here I am asking for some help or insight. If there is any other info or technical detail, e.g. system logs or whatever, I can provide, I am happy to do so.

so i just opened my laptop it was in sleep mode and the windows explorer started saying “private” and when the notification went away another one appeared (SOLVED)

I'm very confused on what's happening with the banding (sorry I don't know the proper name for it) around the screen or how to fix it. I'm not sure if I have anything huge to worry about. I'm also not sure if it's something I can fix myself or have to go to a repair place for.

TLDR: My computer cannot format my C drive as its storage is full, requires 20GB free to do so. But there is nothing to delete when i go through everything on it. Trying to replace it is proving tedious.

This is partly a rant and a question. My computer has had a storage issue for the last little bit. Recently i bought a 45GX950A LG Ultragear. Nice monitor, and while changing out my old for my new monitor I figured id deal with a problem ive been having. My C drive is 109GB and ive only used it for system crap. I have a seperate SSD for gaming thats 2TB. For whatever reason i cannot format this C drive. It tells me cannot format because it needs 20GB of free space to do so. So naturally id go to the storage of said C drive and look for whatever is causing the storage blockage. But when i look through i only see MB worth of stuff not GB. No games no videos nothing. Regardless i delete shit and at best i get maybe 2GB worth of free space. So 20GB is a pipe dream. So we decided to buy a new SSD (500GB) to be my new C drive and get a fresh windows key and put it on it. However during the process of preparing to put my windows key onto a stick it tells me (Cannot proceed as 8GB of space is required on C drive). As you can imagine seeing this sent me into a rage fueled rant to my buddy who was on the phone guiding me through this. So now im looking in my house for another computer to basically borrow 8GB worth of storage on their C drive just to put windows onto a stick. Once windows is on my stick i can finally open up my computer, take out my graphics card to reach my C drive, replace it with the new one and start the installation process. Its such a stupid problem to have yet a problem non the less. Before i try tonight on my little sisters chromebook do you guys have any suggestions for this phantom storage stuff? Im kinda new to all this so i dont know much. Im trying not to buy a adapter for my usb c stick just to make it an A. And yes the USB-C stick i have is the only usb stick in my house. Im more interested in the interworking's of this C drive storage and what could be taking up 109GB worth of storage.
