It can happen during power flickers, after Windows updates, and a whole lot of other times: the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with an error message about BCD / 0xc0000098.
Now I know your Windows won’t boot, and usually that’s time for Panic Mode…
But it turns out that fixing this problem is not that difficult.
You just need a tiny amount of patience, some fingers to type, and these instructions!
Today’s Windows hotkeys let you make as many mistakes as you want.
You can even make mistakes, undo them, then make them again – as many times as you want!
In this episode of my Keyboard Kommando Series, we find out how to Undo and Redo.
Save time, energy, and sanity by using hotkeys like a pro!
Most people know about Alt-Tab: It cycles between all open program windows, and/or let’s you quickly flip back and forth between 2 open programs.
But Alt-Tab isn’t the only trick you can do with your keyboard.
The Win-Up Arrow and Win-Down Arrow hotkeys like you take control of your windows even more!
Let’s take a look…
Of all the problems in Windows 11, one of the most annoying to me is the cluttered Lock Screen.
From “ad links”, to widgets, to “private” notifications, it’s all a bit ridiculous.
Not to worry: In just a few clicks, you can make your lock screen great again!
Sometimes, you just need to kill an application in Windows.
It used to be that you could enter Task Manager, choose the program you want to kill, right-click, and then End task!
Simple, right? Yup.
But then after a recent Windows 11 update, the ability to end a task totally disappeared from Task Manager!
Well, that simply won’t do… So how do you get back your End task superpowers??
Recently, Microsoft started pushing out Windows 11 24H2 to darn near everyone.
Ideally, this is because it’s now stable…
Unfortunately, many users are having problems accessing shared folders on their local network after upgrading to 24H2.
Luckily, once we understand WHY this is happening, it’s pretty easy to fix!
One year ago, I said this:
“If you’re having trouble with files/folders not appearing until you refresh the folder view with a tap on F5, then you’ve been hit by the dreaded Explorer Doesn’t Refresh Automatically bug
Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to fix.
Behold: Three ways to fix the glitch!”
Still not working??
Using Microsoft software can be quite an adventure. It’s especially fun when your previously activated copy of Windows or Office decides to de-activate itself!
Sometimes, the usual official routes of re-activation are useful. Other times, not so much…
Isn’t there a way to re-activate your legal copy of Windows EASILY?!
Why, yes, there is!
Windows 11 is okay – except when it comes time to do a big update or install it from scratch.
In both cases, MS has decided to force you to log in to Windows using your Microsoft account.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could skip this step?
Fortunately, you can!
You’ve tried everything: Task Manager, Startup Apps in Settings, even uninstalling some applications…
Nevertheless, that pesky app is still firing up every time you restart your Windows puter.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an EASY way to see all your startup apps and disable them in a few clicks?
There is! And it’s made by none other than Microsoft…
