Hi all, my Windows 11 PC was getting stuck on the “Please wait for the GPSVC” message during login, and it would take forever or sometimes not load at all. Restarting didn’t really help. What finally worked for me was booting into Safe Mode, then restarting the Group Policy Client service and clearing temporary files. After that, the system logged in normally again. Sharing in case anyone else runs into this.
Hi everyone, my Windows 11 PC suddenly started booting straight into BIOS and won’t load Windows no matter what I do. I didn’t change any settings recently, and the drive was working fine before. I’ve tried restarting and exiting BIOS, but it keeps coming back. Could this be a boot order issue, a drive problem, or something else? What steps can I take to fix this without risking my data?
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed Modern Setup Host is suddenly using a lot of CPU on my Windows 11 system, especially during idle time. My fans ramp up and performance drops while it runs in the background. I’m not currently installing any updates manually, so this seems odd. I’ve tried restarting and pausing updates but it keeps coming back. Is this normal behavior or something stuck in the update process, and what’s the safest way to fix it without breaking Windows Update?
Put the SD into your computer and backup the contents if possible. I’m assuming your sd card is dying and needs to be replaced
I only d/l data every few weeks or so and I’ve never seen an error. I have an Airsense 10. Is this error seen on the 10’s too? Or only on the 11’s? Anyone see it on their AS10?
What are you using it in?
What file system?
I’ve had it happen enough that I now touch the screen to wake it up, then insert the card and wait to make sure I get the “loading” confirmation message. If I don’t get the message after a few seconds, I remove the card and try again
The ONE night where I was anxious to look at my data in the morning so I could see if I could figure out why I woke up in some kind of panic around 2:30am, I get an SD card error message from my Airsense 11. It appears to be properly remounted and working now, but…dammit.
This was my first SD card error in about three weeks of using one. How often to I get to look forward to this?
My standard go to in this situation is to just scan the file system on the drive for errors. SD Cards can usually tolerate not being ejected very well. I also suggest never moving files to any flash drive by cut and paste, only copy and paste. While it’s not usually a problem, there is a higher chance of losing files with cut and paste if you accidentally remove the drive before transfer is done.
What brand is your ad card and what are you using to format it?
Best value in my opinion are the Sabrent v60 cards. v60 is really the rating you have to care about, it is the minimum guaranteed speed instead of the theoretical maximum speed. V90 is of course better, but much more expensive. V30 is kind of slow, and you only save a few bucks while getting half the speed. So v60 is the best bang for your buck.
Well… One time is probably fine as long as you weren’t transferring anything, as you said.
unless you had a program running on it though.
just to be sure:
If your on windows run a disk diagnostic (Go to file explorer, right click your disk, properties, then tools, and hit scan for errors, then click allow, etc…)
it should be fine regardless ive done this plenty of times on accident, once or twice your likely fine
Also how large is the SD card? Aren’t there restrictions with using FAT32 and how large the card can be before you format it?
Lexar Gold 1800X V60, i recommend this one because they are cheap, reliable (using 12 of them, no failure) and the fastest V60 out there, or any good quality v90 card will work the best
Hi everyone, I recently ran into the “File or Directory is Corrupted and Unreadable” error on my external drive and couldn’t access any of my files. I’m mainly concerned about recovering my data safely without making things worse. What’s the best approach here? Should I try CHKDSK first, or go straight to a data recovery method? Also, what’s the safest way to recover files if the drive is partially corrupted?
