Hi, I recently tried installing the insider build for Windows 11. However, the installation tool claimed that secure boot was disabled. As far as I can tell, I enabled secure boot in my bios. For context, my motherboard is an Asrock Pro 4 B350. I am running the latest bios for this motherboard, version 6.40. Here is a photo of the setting that I believe enables secure boot: This was after generating a secure key. However, when trying to upgrade to Windows 11, I get this message: Additionally, using a third party tool I got these more specific errors: Did I enable secure boot incorrectly? Does my motherboard lack this feature? Additionally, if this is better suited for the hardware section of the forum please let me know.

As an update, my friend has reverted his drivers to the previous version his computer had. For now, it seems to have fixed the issue.

I asked him about his monitor, it is definitely an older model. Would drivers introduce enough new information to for there to be an issue?

Hello. I recently helped my friend update his graphics drivers. He went from a much older version (about a year old) to the most recent version available for his 1050ti. Since that update, he has been seeing artifacts of a previously closed Google Chrome window whenever he enters a full screen application. I have found people with this issue, but I haven't found a solution to it. Has anyone encountered this problem, or a similar one? Thank you in advance for any advice. Further context: My friend is running a computer with Windows 7. I can ask him about his other specs if that is needed. The full screen applications that he has tried to open so far are League of Legends and Valorant. The same problem happens in both.

Lagging out of our minecraft server

Alright, I think the next step is probably creating a support ticket. Thanks for your replies. -
Lagging out of our minecraft server
makaroniandcheese replied to makaroniandcheese's topic in PC Gaming
I should have also clarified that the server is being hosted by mcprohosting. If you know of a way that I can test the server's internet speed, please let me know. This is a purely vanilla server as far as I know (unless mcprohosting add something themselves). Also, my friend's internet seems fine, with a 66mbps/5mbps download and upload speed. His ping seems fine as well. -
Hello, a friend of mine is disconnecting from our minecraft server. This isn't happening to him in any other server. Additionally, there are other people in the server who aren't having the same issue.We've been searching online for a solution, but most of them assume that the issue is only happening occasionally. In this case, the problem is consistent. The error code associated is related to a connection error, but I am unsure about how to further troubleshoot the problem. Any help will be much appreciated, and I hope everyone is safe and healthy. Error code: Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Making programs unaccessable to other users
makaroniandcheese replied to makaroniandcheese's topic in Windows
Thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into implementing some of them. -
Hi, I've been trying to find a method of improving my productivity. One way I thought about doing this was to create an isolated user that is distraction-free. However, I haven't found a way to prevent stuff like games from showing up on this isolated user. While sometimes its as simple as deleting a shortcut, other times its much harder to completely remove traces of a program. My question is, is there a way to only have certain programs appear for an individual user, and not others?
