Hi everyone,

My Windows system is stuck in a CHKDSK loop during boot. Every time I restart, it runs CHKDSK, finishes, reboots — then does it all over again.

System Info:

OS: Windows 10/11

Drive: SSD/HDD (NTFS)

No recent hardware changes

Any suggestions on how to break this loop or disable CHKDSK without corrupting data?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m getting this error on Windows 11:

MicrosoftSecurityApp.exe – Bad Image
Error code: 0xc0e90002

It pops up during startup or when opening the Windows Security app. I’ve tried restarting and running SFC/DISM, but the issue persists.

Anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I’m trying to enable Secure Boot on Windows 11, but the option is greyed out in BIOS.

System Info:
OS: Windows 11
Boot Mode: UEFI
TPM 2.0: Enabled
Secure Boot: Disabled (and greyed out)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Just one tip: after resetting, check if your APN (mobile internet settings) auto-configure. Most phones do that now, but in rare cases you might need to re-add those from your carrier’s website.

Just backing up what @Jace said.

The only time you’d lose your number is if you either remove the SIM and toss it or switch to a new carrier without porting your number.

But a plain factory reset? You’re good.

You are indeed right, Lexar had a firmware glitch in late 2024 that caused your corrupted CR3 files, especially with burst mode shooting. If your card is from that batch, it’s best that you replace it immediately to avoid further loss.
Burst shooting can expose card issues if the card struggles with sustained writes or has contact problems.
Pro Tip: Always format your card in-camera before shoots, avoid removing it immediately after bursts, and test with a different card to confirm.

The camera itself doesn’t need much maintenance; otherwise, the card shouldn’t ask to reinsert or format frequently.
Are you sure your card is genuine? Try formatting the card in-camera (not on a computer) to reset its structure. If issues continue, replace the card immediately before your trip.

Your number and plan are related to your SIM, not your phone’s storage. Resetting your phone won’t touch the SIM, number, and even text/call history (that’s stored by your carrier) will still be there.

If you have a physical SIM, just leave it in. If you use an eSIM, most carriers let you re-download the eSIM from your carrier account or app after the reset—just make sure you know your login credentials.

Given your DSLR background, I’d suggest looking at mirrorless options for lighter travel without sacrificing quality:
1. Sony A7C II or A7 IV
2. Canon R8
3. Fujifilm X-T5
You can also use a 24-70mm for versatile travel coverage. These cameras are best for capturing beautiful landscapes, candid moments with your loved ones, and capturing aurora shots if you’re lucky enough to have clear skies.

This might sound like a dumb question but I just want to doublecheck before I do something irreversible. I’m planning to factory reset my Android phone. I’m just a little nervous about losing my phone number? Do I need to back up anything related to my carrier?

Although, I already synced my contacts to my Google account, so that part’s safe.

Appreciate any reassurance before I hit that “Erase All Data” button

Chao!
Going on a trip to Iceland, Italy, and a cruise through Croatia, Greece, & Turkey. I would like a new camera to take landscape, vacation, and hopefully some aurora shots.
I’m looking for some advice on what to get for the trip and to grow into. I’m an amateur with an understanding of basic photography principles and owned a couple DSLRs in the past (Rebels). I would like to start taking landscape pictures as a hobby.
My wife and I have our 30th anniversary coming and we’re going on the trip above. I’m hoping to take some nice landscape shots, pictures of my wife and I running around these amazing destinations, and hopefully some Aurora shots in Iceland if we’re lucky.

Of course you can… as long as you’re okay with your ‘awesome clip’ turning into a press-and-hold-to-breathe wallpaper, because iPhones don’t believe in truly living wallpapers.

Congrats on the new camera! Looks like your memory card decided to take a vacation before your trip. Maybe it just needs a manual read too.

You mush know that iPhone doesn’t allow full video wallpapers on the Home Screen. You’ll need to convert your clip into a Live Photo first.
Open Settings > Wallpaper > Add New Wallpaper. Next, Select Photos > Live Photos, choose your converted Live Photo. And, Set it as Set as Lock Screen.
