The 2 from the AIO to the l/r brackets.this part?

Figured it out. Backed off both screws, loosened the bracket a little on both sides, MacGivered each bracket to the screw and they both caught. Then alternated each screw. That could have been a better engineered install, smh.

I've been frozen for Windows updates since 2023 because for some reason it wants me to upgrade the BIOS for my SSD and I can't be bothered.

I jumped to Linux and don't have any complaints. I don't play any competitive online games needing anticheat so nothing of value was lost.

Windows 10 help please
We've always had one login on our PC and I just had it set to auto login. Now that my kids are older, I created a separate login for each of them. I'm attempting to disable the auto login, but I can't get it to go away. Every time the computer comes up it auto logs in as the last person that was logged in. I'm guessing this is in part due to my not using passwords for the accounts. I just want a login page to come up where you click which user you want, and it goes in as that user.
On the user accounts dialog (netplwiz) I've checked the box stating that users must enter a password to use this computer
In the registry I've set the following to 0 or null: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Edit: I just set all the user account passwords to something, rebooted it, and it works the way I intended except we have to enter a password. Does anyone know a way to do it with blank passwords?

Not really a desktop question but I don't know where else to put it and I don't want to create a thread for such a insigificant question that is driving me nuts.
I've got an Ipad which I use to watch youtube on ocassionally. There has recently been an updated and I'm unable to refresh the content on the main page without closing and re-opening the app. Before I could just swipe down and it would refresh with new content.
Google hasn't been helpful in my searches and wonder if anyone is having similar issues or knows how to fix Apple's retarded shit.

my wife had some kind of issue too w/ it was either spotify or youtube or both,
check this is on
Settings > General > Background App Refresh
and go into each app, in applications and double check the "update over wifi/cellular" is appropriate
and try clear cache, other than that reinstall

What fresh hell is this? Just got this laptop barely more than a year ago (Summer 2024) and it's already having issues. Every couple hours this weekend it'll suddenly reboot and then pop back up with these messages. I hit the power button on and off and it starts up normally. Might be happening with increasing frequency, not sure.
Any idea how I can get this to stop happening without spending hundreds of dollars bringing it to a repair shop?

why there hell is there pictures of hair
when that happens, it's usually a windows error, drivers/ update, weird program
start saving your important files and reformat fresh imo

The Windows 11 patch error that resulted in not being able to detect hard drives was because of outdated BIOS and firmware, if it is anything similar to that update your hard drive and mobo software. If you are AMD specifically make sure the AGESA is up to date.

Because I'd just taken it out of a dusty bag and was in the car. It's crazy how fast screens get dirty when they're in a bag or a box with a lot of dust. It probably isn't spotless even at the best of times either
If all else fails I'll do a full backup/format but it'd be a pretty big hassle at this moment.
AMD Ryzen, si.
I've got Windows 11 already and I don't think this one actually did the patch, unless it happened while I was asleep.
This is available:
I'll check the AGESA out, and do that available update, and hopefully no further incidents happen.

Pretty critical issue I just ran into with new (5 month old) desktop. Not sure I'll do a good job explaining, but I'm at a loss.
I was playing a Steam game earlier today and all of a sudden the mouse cursor disappeared from the game and moving the mouse moved the game screen. But, no visible cursor. Had to Control/ALT/Delete to get task manager and close the program.
Restart game, worked for about 15 minutes, then it did it again.
Restart computer and game.
Worked a little, then same again.
Downloaded updated MOBO drivers. Downloaded updated video drivers.
Now the mouse will NOT left-click on anything, so I'm dead in the water.
Tried different ports plugging the mouse in. Nothing.
Tried a different mouse entirely, same problem; cannot left click and open any file or start any program.
Clearly its a computer issue and not a mouse issue, but now I can't even use the mouse to fix things, if I knew what to fix.
Anyone have ideas?
**Program icons are also not highlighted when you mouse over them, like they used to be. I managed to get into "devises > mouse" using the keyboard and every option is correct there as well**

sounds like you might have mouse drivers fucked
completely on keyboard do windowskey+r
type
device manager
enter
press tab
and you should be in the list with a dark bar
hit down until you land on mice
then hit right to expand the mice menu
hit delete on everything and reboot and windows should reinstall mice drivers
i mean it sounds like you might have a clicklock issue
i had something like this happen a while ago, and just turned it off, no idea why it on in the first place, and no idea how youre gonna get to it without a mouse
