Windows Search Keeps Opening Edge
Windows Search can open Edge when web results, Bing settings, or Edge extensions intercept a query. This page shows how to isolate the cause and fix it.
Task Manager Keeps Popping Up
If Task Manager keeps popping up, start with accidental activation, then check hidden startup items, and only then move to shell repair.
Windows Hello Setup Camera Not Working
If the camera preview appears but enrollment never finishes, Windows Hello Face is usually blocked by the sensor, driver, or biometric service.
File Explorer Stuck in Full Screen
Press F11 first. If File Explorer still shows a title bar or taskbar, it is likely mis-sized, and Maximize, Restore Down, or Alt+Space can fix it.
Bluetooth Audio Not Working Windows 11
Bluetooth headphones can pair in Windows 11 while media audio stays silent. Check the Stereo/A2DP profile, audio output, Bluetooth service, and driver.
Windows Search Keeps Disappearing
