    Stopping the Windows 11 "Your password has expired and needs to be changed"

    No. Windows has already been installed. I am not going to make a brand new NT Lite setup disk and do a reinstall. Windows has already been installed.

    Stopping the Windows 11 "Your password has expired and needs to be changed"

    I was hit with this message. This is news to me. If I go into Computer Management and Users and select my name, and check the box that says "Password never expires" will that pretty much solve this annoyance? Or is it better to simply get rid of the password entirely by going into settings and...

    Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device

    I found a command prompt command that worked. It successfully removed the drive. I hope I don't have to do this each time.

    Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device

    I've also tried typing RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll and then clicking OK, but that did not work either. Windows says it cannot be unplugged or removed. Also tried removing the drive by going into Settings - Bluetooth and devices. It said can't remove the drive while it's...

    Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device

    I'm done using an external drive, and now I want to eject it. But Windows says it cannot because a program is still using it. And I even restarted the computer once too. Windows keeps putting up that message. I tried restarting Windows Explorer but that didn't do it. Maybe I should shut the...

    Weather and more is still showing on my Lock Screen

    Just installed Windows 11 Pro 24H2. I have already gone into Settings - Lock screen status - and selected None. But it keeps going back to Weather and more, and that stuff shows on my lock screen. Any idea on how to fix? I have not searched for any Windows Updates yet.

    I think I should leave these options be?

    The only reason I am using Rufus is to make the flash drive bootable. That is it. You told me earlier that I would need to use Rufus to make the drive bootable. If I don't need to use Rufus to make the drive bootable, then I certainly won't.

    I think I should leave these options be?

    Okay I'm at the point where I am making my NTLite .iso bootable using Rufus. I think I am at the final screen called Windows User Experience. There are six check boxes listed, and the first two are checked by default: 1. Remove requirement for 4 GB+ RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 2. Remove...

    Is there a way to call up what I did?

    I thought I checked the box "Auto save". I could be mistaken, but I thought I did. I don't think I hit the Apply button though. There is no where where it says Preset - Save - Extract current image state - New preset. What does Load a clean version of the same image mean?

    Is there a way to call up what I did?

    Let's say I'm all done with NTLite and I've already made my custom install disc. The program has been closed. Let's say I want to go back into the program and see what I did. I want to see what I removed (or did I remove a specific component)? Is there a way to call up the work I did? I never...

    VirtualBox Installation Warning

    If something goes wrong and I don't get my internet back, I could restore my computer from a backup image which was made before I installed Virtual Box I suppose. But I've used NTLite before 3 times to make custom install disks, and the re-installation of Windows has always gone smoothly. All I...

    VirtualBox Installation Warning

    But is the interruption only for a few seconds? I'm not going to lose my internet connection for hours or days am I? I will not be doing anything on the internet at all when I install the program.

    VirtualBox Installation Warning

    I was about to install Virtual Box to test my NTLite .iso, but it put up a Warning screen about losing my internet connection and network interruption or connection. I do not want to lose my internet connection, or have my system all goofed up. Is this interruption only for a few seconds? It...

    NTLite has frozen on me (Unattended page)

    Okay, Thank You that worked. Where it says "Skip going fast page" Privacy Options there is only a true option, there is no false option. So I presume if I want to not skip that, I just leave it alone, and blank. I'm just wondering why the developer chose not to put in a false option?

    NTLite has frozen on me (Unattended page)

    Here is a screenshot. I haven't tried closing the program yet or tried killing it with Task Manager.

    NTLite has frozen on me (Unattended page)

    Everything was going fine until I clicked on Folder locations User profiles directory. Now the screen is frozen. There is a red line outlining the long, horizontal box where you can enter in what directory you want. There is a red exclamation mark to the left of the box. I did not enter anything...

    Okay about setting up a local account

    I'm on the Unattended part of the NTLite screen. It says "Skip local account setup". Am I correct in assuming that if I answer that as false, then I will be looking at a screen during the setup process and Windows will prompt me to setup my local account? But if I answer that as true then I will...

    Windows Defender and Security Center question

    Okay I renewed my license. And I selected the Remove option for those 4 scheduled tasks. The LED next to the task is still colored Red like it was before, I was expecting green. But I'm not getting that message about purchasing a new license to unlock this feature anymore, so I'm guess things...
