      Roblox not opening due to NTDLL.DLL

      I'm having an issue with Roblox on Windows 10 Home. I am using the latest version available to me, 22H2.Whenever I open Roblox, it opens as normal, but proceeds to close itself before launching the actual game. I looked in event viewer, and this is the error that pops up every single time.Faulting application name: RobloxPlayerBeta.exe, version: 0.573.0.28875, time stamp: 0x973ddfd5Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.2788, time stamp: 0x2f715b17Exception code: 0xc0000409Fault of

      Drivereasy is saying that the driver is out of date, saying from 2006, and trying to update it to AMD IOMMU Device, but it's not worked, no matter what I've tried. I can't find a download for it from Microsoft itself. I am having some other issues and I want to see if updating this driver helps before I do more research/make another post about those issues. Even if it doesn't, I feel like that driver should be updated now.

      Vad gör BCDEdit /deletevalue med datorn
      Last reply May 5, 2023 by Greg Carmack | Created May 1, 2023 by kommahit
      Så att använda BCDEdit /deletevalue är till för att ta bort startalternativvärden. Kan en startreparation som start i datorn tas med att vara ett startalternativvärde eller gäller det här bara för startposter där datorn är kopplad till. Så om jag har startposter ifrån EasyBCD redan ihopkopplat med två operativsystem kommer då de posterna jag lagt till där att tas bort helt så att jag inte kommer åt det operativsystemet alls. Kan bootrec /rebuildbcd kanske laga ingången ifall den tas bort så att

      Hi, I am used to using 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to quickly close applications on a taskbar via middle click, but 7+ Taskbar Tweaker has to be running in the background in order for it to work. I just want to find an alternative to closing applications on the taskbar via middle click using registry editor. If there isn't a way to do this via registry editor please inform me if there is another alternative native windows software that will perform this task.I'd also like to squeeze a bonus question in h

      Data missing after running chkdsk, but storage space hasn't changed
      Last reply June 1, 2023 by VADER007 | Created May 4, 2023 by VADER007
      When I turned on my computer (Windows 11), I got this error for my external G-drive 6TB: "external drive is not accessible. the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". So, I ran a chkdsk command against the hard drive, which took 8 hours. My computer now sees the drive. All of the folders are in it, but the folders are empty. However, the drive still says it's still full of data? Where did the data go and how do I access it so that I can retrieve it?

I got into the server, but I couldn’t open the chat. I can see chats from other people, but every time I type t or / it shows up as the red pop up message: “Chat not allowed by account settings.

      Due to Browser Version changing, companies I have accounts with are sending security codes to verify when I login.
      Last reply May 4, 2023 by Greg Carmack | Created May 4, 2023 by StephenPetrie
      It is becoming annoying with companies that I have an account with, when I login to my account, because the browser version has changed since my last login, the company sends a security code to my phone to verify that I am the person. Once I enter that security code, I am then able to login. My question is, why do they use the browser version and not use the computers ID which is unique or something else other than the browser version?
