Hey! This error usually happens when the file system on your drive gets corrupted, which can be due to unsafe removal, sudden power cuts, virus attacks, or bad sectors on the drive. First, avoid formatting or writing anything to the drive to prevent data loss. Start by running chkdsk X: /f /r in Command Prompt as admin (replace X with your drive letter) to scan and repair errors. If the drive still shows unreadable, try assigning a new drive letter in Disk Management. For recovering your files safely before doing any repair, Stellar Data Recovery is a good option. Once your data is backed up, you can format the drive to restore normal use.
Hey, what you’re seeing is Windows hanging on the Group Policy Client service, which is what GPSVC stands for. It basically manages system and user policies, and if it gets stuck, your PC waits indefinitely at startup. Common causes are corrupt user profiles, pending updates, or issues with certain services starting in the wrong order. Quick fixes you can try are booting into Safe Mode and running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command Prompt, checking for stuck Windows Updates, or creating a new user profile to see if it bypasses the hang.
Hi everyone,
My Windows PC is stuck on the Welcome screen during startup. It doesn’t proceed to the desktop, and I’ve tried restarting several times without success.
Can someone explain why this happens and provide practical solutions to fix it? I’ve heard there are multiple methods—like 6 possible fixes—but I’m looking for clear, step-by-step instructions that are safe and won’t risk my data.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I recently experienced a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on my Windows PC, and the error message pointed to wdfilter.sys. I’m not sure what causes this file to trigger a BSOD or how to resolve it safely.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,
After installing the Windows 10 cumulative update KB5062554, I noticed that some of my files and data seem to have disappeared. I’m not sure if they were deleted, moved, or corrupted during the update process.

Thanks for your guidance!

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to extend a partition on my Windows system using Disk Management, but the “Extend Volume” option is greyed out and unavailable. I’ve checked, and there is unallocated space on the drive, but I still can’t extend the volume.
Can anyone explain why this happens and what methods or tools I can use to fix this issue? Any step-by-step guidance would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, might be my last resort. I’ll try the clone and header repair steps first before going that route. Appreciate everyone’s help — at least now I know there’s still a bit of hope left.
If nothing else works, look into professional recovery. It’s pricey, but since it’s a large HDD and not SSD, the odds aren’t terrible. They can often pull fragments that software tools miss.
Hey, this error usually means your PC can’t find Windows to boot from. First, go to BIOS and check if your hard drive or SSD is showing up. If it is, make sure “Windows Boot Manager” is at the top of the boot order. If it’s missing, switch between UEFI and Legacy mode to match how Windows was installed. If the drive isn’t detected, turn off the PC, unplug and reconnect the drive cables, or test the drive on another computer.
If the drive shows up but still won’t boot, create a Windows 11 recovery USB on another PC, boot from it, and try Startup Repair. If that fails, open Command Prompt and run these one by one:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Before doing anything risky, copy your important files using another computer or a bootable USB.
