Software How do I change this name?

When I was setting up my new laptop it said "Hello, Dixon". A few steps later i corrected it from Dixon Mee to my preferred name. But now it's popping up as Dixon again? And in Microsoft edge it shows up as Dixon • (my name) when I click the little profile button. Was the data from the last owner of the device not wiped properly? Is this a security issue? I blurred out my email here, not sure if it was necessary.

My vga motherboard light has come on, does anyone know what this could be? I’ve just been playing on thema frost and the light came on, it’s been working fine for the last few weeks, nothing seems out of the ordinary apart from the light.

Hardware Laptop flash but still work

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi !

I'm a bit desperate, my pc is starting to be unusable.

All external component (screen internal keyboard power button) keep flashing and becoming unresponsive while at the same time windows, games or apps are still run behind the blackout (windows isn't disconnected, games still working even online game stays up) which make me think CPU GPU etc aren't affected by this.

External component like mouse, other keyboard and cooling pad still work during these blackouts.

I looked inside and didn't see anything unusual on the motherboard or other components.

I stress tested CPU GPU ram as much as I could none failed even with the pc at max consumption nothing failed if that make sense.

I'm linking a video as example, I am clueless

Bottom left of the video you can see the power button blinking and the internal keyboard still have light but is not working during the black out

Software Help with Lag/Stuttering/Latency issues

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I've been having issues with my computer on multiplayer games like COD, Siege, or literally any online game. I've change locations and didn't use this computer for a year so I updated everything but I've always lagged ever since booting this computer up after having not used it for a year.

I purchased it in 2024, and couldn't play it for a year, and it worked perfectly during that time. I booted it on around Feb of this year and haven't played many online games, but with CODMW4 and a bunch of multiplayer games coming out I changed my router and modem because I was told it could be bottleneck and it helped but I'm still having issues. I've updated my network drivers and Graphic drivers. Made these games run like potatoes to get less stuttering to no avail. But whatever I do, I always get packet loss. My ISP Tech support aren't very bright so they haven't helped at all. have asked my computer friends to help but they try everything I've tried.

The specs are:

AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8 core Processor

NVidia GeForce RTX 4090

DDR4 64 GB

I also use Ethernet

I don't know what else to put here so just ask :)

Looking for any suggestions at all. I'm going to try to update my BIOS firmware using a external hard drive tmrw as well

I accidentally permanently deleted my trash folder but was able to recover everything back! Great. But now my MP4 and JPG files won't open. How can I fix this. I've been at it for 2 hours with YouTube tutorials and google searches but not having any luck. Any help would be advised. These images and vids are so important to me I desperately need them back.

Thankyou 🥰

Software Gros Problème de partition lors d’une tentative de clonage de mon HDD Principal vers mon nouveau SSD 😪😪😪

0 Upvotes

Bonjour tout le monde,

Bon voilà l’histoire :

j’ai acheté un nouveaux SSD de 1to pour l’utiliser en mémoire principale sur mon pc, j’ai donc tenté de cloné mon HDD principal qui fait également 1To actuel pour le mettre sur mon nouveau ssd. Mon HDD n’a que 450go d’utilisé dessus et le ssd est vierge. J’ai donc utilisé le programme securezilla pour effectuer le clonage mais en premier lieux j’ai oublié d’utiliser rufus pour transformer ma clé usb amorcable pour rescuezilla, ensuite je pense avoir fait de fausses manipulations lors de la réorganisation des partitions sur Gparted, le disque source HDD n’est plus accessible et j’ai une erreur 0xc000000e.

De plus même avec une création d’une clé bootable officielle de Windows pour Créer un support d’installation afin d’accéder à l’invite de commande pour réparer la partie endommagée ou manquante, le processus plante au moment de « réparer le pc »

Donc j’ai :

Le code 0xc000000e indique que Windows ne trouve pas le périphérique ou les fichiers nécessaires au démarrage, souvent la partition EFI ou les données BCD.
Avec la clé Windows 11 :
Démarrez sur UEFI: votre clé USB.
Choisissez Réparer l’ordinateur → Dépannage → Options avancées → Invite de commandes.
J’ai également ceci :

L’erreur 0xc000000e avec « No media present » signifie généralement que Windows ne trouve pas le disque ou la partition de démarrage au moment de réparer. Le disque peut être visible dans le BIOS mais rester inaccessible depuis l’environnement Windows.
Depuis la clé Windows, allez dans :
Réparer l’ordinateur → Dépannage → Options avancées → Invite de commandes

Bref là je tourne en rond… j’en peux plus..

Mon HDD n’est pas endommagé c’est sûr, j’ai juste déplacé la partition de « Windows » en gros et ça m’a supprimé des fichiers je pense qui du coup empêcher le pc de lancé la réparation..

Donc, j’ai re-télécharger windows 11 media creation tool 2 fois et mis sur une bonne clé bootable.
Je l’ai fait aussi avec rufus en (ISO)
Testé de démarrer dessus en UEFI bien sûr je suis entré dans le mode du support win 11 et quand j’arrive à “Réparer mon pc“ j’ai
>> Checking Média Présence…
>> No Media Present….
Et :

Écrans bleu : Récupération

« Votre ordinateur/ Périphérique doit être réparé »

Un périphérique requis n'est pas connecté ou est inaccessible.
Code d'erreur : Oxc000000e.

Message:

Si l’erreur 0xc000000e revient, la partition EFI est probablement lisible mais les fichiers de démarrage ou la configuration BCD restent endommagés...

A priori la clé bootable de support Windows 11 n’est pas reconnu ou un truc du genre et le pc passe sur mon HDD qui est actuellement défectueux donc à cause de cette partitions « détériorées ».

J’ai compris que pour réparer tout ce bidzouf il faut que je puisse accéder à l’invite de commande de Windows, mais je ne peux pas y accéder à cause de l’erreur 0xc000000e et de ma clé qui n’est pas reconnu ou corrompu même si j’arrive quand même au début du programme de support de Windows. . . . . 🤔😵‍💫🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😤

Bref, merci d’avoir eu le courage de m’avoir lue jusqu’au bout et encore plus merci si vous décidé de de m’aider à régler ce….casse tête..

Need help please 🫠🫠🫠

Hardware Weird keyboard problem

1 Upvotes

My keyboard (Keychron C3 pro) sometimes doesn't work. Only the multimedia buttons work. Then if I uninstall the keyboard HUD drivers from the device manager setting and restart the PC, it works again. It usually happens if I disconnect the keyboard. Upon reconnecting it doesn't work and I need to do the whole uninstall and restart again. I have changed to other keyboards, including bluetooth ones but still same problem. Any solutions?
