I cannot install IBM AMOS on my PC
Windows 11 I have successfully downloaded AMOS 30 from Hearne Software. After two attempts with different tech support personnel, they concluded it was a Microsoft problem, not an AMOS/SPSS issue. When attempting to load AMOS, I receive the standard "Do you want to allow this app..." prompt (Yes/No). After clicking "Yes," the standard AMOS 30 logo pops up and the Install Shield begins, but after attempting to install, it stops, and I get the following in a Windows Installer window (see below). Once I click OK, nothing happens, and there is no indication that AMOS has been installed anywhere in

Black screen issue when try to update to 24h2
I’ve got a pretty powerful setup, Intel i9 Strix and an RTX 4090. I tried updating from Windows 11 version 23H2 to 24H2, and things went fine up until around 30%. Then suddenly, the screen went black. I could still move the mouse, like the update had finished, but I couldn’t interact with anything.I waited for a while, thinking it might just need time, but nothing happened. Eventually, I had to reboot the PC.

Windows 11: File Explorer Search Freezes When Typing Quickly
Hi, I’ve noticed that on my Windows 11 laptop, the File Explorer search bar becomes unresponsive if I type a query too quickly (especially long filenames or multiple keywords). It lags for a few seconds, and sometimes the whole Explorer window freezes temporarily before showing results. I've updated to the latest version and tried restarting Windows Search service, but the issue still happens regularly. Is anyone else facing this? Any known fix or registry tweak for this? Thanks in advance!

Why is windows design so flawed that a wifi card stops using internet traffic after 5 minutes. EVERY CARD, and only on windows machiines that have been updated after an installation.
It's so aggravating, eventually you'd think devs would figure out how to design something in Windows that doesn't simply break by their own development errors.
