Fix Windows errors with Fortect:
Fortect can repair common computer errors by scanning your entire system for damaged or missing OS files and replacing them with the original, working versions. Optimize your PC in 3 simple steps:

  1. Download and Install Fortect on your PC
  2. Use the PC Scan feature to look up any Windows issues (including drivers)
  3. Right-click on Repair, and fix it within a few minutes.

Besides that, it helps you clean up junk files, fix stability problems, and get rid of annoying programs and malware traces.

There is an easy way to add some irreverence to Microsoft’s new and sleek Windows 11 operating system, and that is using a custom avatar for your account picture.

It turns out it is possible to use short clips of video for your account picture on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, which will play in loops when you are on your lock screen.

If you like the look of that you need a short (6 seconds or less .MP4) and to follow these simple steps.

  1. Open Settings> Accounts > Your Info
  2. Click on Choose a file.
  3. Navigate to where your MP4 is and click on Select.

That is all there is to it.  The tip also works on Windows 10, if you are not living in the future already.
