Most Asked

Editor’s Pick
What’s the safest way to remove old drivers?
Use a tool like Driver Cleaner to avoid registry damage or device conflicts. Manual removal can leave behind hidden files.
Why does my PC randomly restart after waking from sleep?
This is often caused by outdated chipset drivers or power plan conflicts. Update BIOS, disable hybrid sleep, and check event logs for error codes.
How can I stop apps from auto-launching at startup?
Open Task Manager → Startup tab, and disable unnecessary apps. For deeper control, use our Startup Manager to manage hidden entries.
Is it safe to disable Windows Defender?
Only if you’re replacing it with a trusted third-party antivirus. Otherwise, keep it enabled and supplement with tools like Malwarebytes for layered protection.
Why is my SSD not showing up in File Explorer?
Check Disk Management to see if it’s uninitialized or lacks a drive letter. Format if needed, and ensure SATA/NVMe drivers are installed correctly.
How do I fix broken context menus in Windows 11?
Use registry tweaks to restore classic context menus or reset shell extensions. Our Windows Repair Tool can automate this.
Can I safely remove the Windows.old folder?
Yes — if you’re sure you won’t roll back to a previous version. Use Disk Cleanup → “Clean up system files” to remove it safely.
Why does my screen flicker when switching apps?
Likely a graphics driver issue or hardware acceleration conflict. Update GPU drivers, disable hardware acceleration in affected apps, and check refresh rate settings.
