Bricked my HP Evo Prod ID 669a1ua after driver update

So I'm old-school (DOS Win 3.11) computer-savvy...but not much more (never heard of secure boot/TPM/Bitlocker - until I used your program to update a bunch of drivers (probabally the BIOS) and I got BSOD demanding Bitlocker key and after 3 days found no darn way around it. Finally went to HP Cloud recovery (supposed to resture factory config) but this tool does not work for me (gets stuck in a boot loop...internet search did not reveal fix/work-around that I haddn't tried; i.e at the BIOS I turned off Secure boot, allowed USB Boot, made that the first boot device...even tried re-directing the boot loader to the flash drive...but I digress).
Only thing left seemed to be a clean install using flash drive media from MS website to download installer for W11 and then het drivers from HP. So...Flash installer W11 called-up a view of the diskpart showing X: as "System" with like 200MB, C: is the main partition with ~433GB and is BITLOCKED... and then there is a small Recovery partition.
So the only partition I might use was the Bitlocked one...thus I had to delete it and ReFormat to do the clean install.
...So far so good!
Now I go top HP and get my wlan drivers...install from recovery CMD using pnpuil...and I fire-up Windows.
I get the intro screen to select my language, then keyboard, then it hangs at "lets get you connected to the internet"
so - TWO questions: (1) what othe (critical) drivers might I need to get online? Here's the list of possibilities: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/closure/hp-spectre-x360-16-inch-2-in-1-laptop-pc-16-f1000/2101006126/model/2101006145 and
(2) I tried just installing "all" of the available drivers...but I ran out of room???
It seems that even when I'm at he C:\ prompt - everything I install actually goes to the X: partition [which has run out of space now...] Is there some kind of start-up initialization pointer thats redirrecting "System" traffic/commands to X: (instead of c:\Windows\System\System32 - where drivers usually reside?
- If so - how do I change it?
- If not then might it relate somehow to the fact that I never really "completed" the install process?
Also FYI - now that I have gotten around Bitlocker I tried the HP Cloud recovery again and got the same blind boot loop.
Thanks for your help

Quicken Lock

Occassionally, Quicken crashes. When it does, I must either force quit BoostSpeed or Restart my computer. This is because BoostSpeed locks the Quicken data file. I would like to exclude this file (or the containing folder) from any scanning or "interference" from BoostSpeed - can I do this? Is there any way to prevent BoostSpeed from tormenting my Quicken Files?

MAPPING USB PORTS TO COM PORTS

Im having trouble with not enough COM Ports for external, USB devices.

With only 1 Si Labs Enhanced and Standard port, and 1 port for the system, as seen in Device Manage, how can I run, for example, more than one sftwr program - intended for a Ham radio transceiver - plus an external, USB microphone plus other external HDD, with or without an external USB Hub?

Why does my HP All-in-one, WIN11 system, work with the internal camera but NOT the internal microphone?

Do I need "virtual ports"? Do I need special drivers and/or hardware?

Thanks.

Slow Computer Speed


How can we speed up internet connections? If we disable numerous threads, do we make it harder to connect with various sites?

LOST APPS

I got myself in a bind and I resorted to installing a backup file.
Unfortunately I overlokked the advice that apps would be lost.
I now have a list of about 60 apps listed as "Apps removed while resetting your PC", including Auslogics programs.
Is ther any way that I can recover those apps?
I'm using Windows 10.

Cheers

activate windows 10

I was on Insider program which loaded enterprise edition a few years ago.

When computer crashed it reloaded a windows 10 home and now wants me to activate the 10 program. I paid for a win 10 home edition but it will not accept the activation code because of the enterpirse edition I just use without the activation. I tried talking to microsoft and not any answer.

Windows 10 Reliability Monitor issue.

I am using Windows 10 20H2 version and BoostSpeed 12 new version.
Control Panel>Security and Maintenance>Reliability Monitor activated history is not available but for 1 day, no computer
reliability and problem history is shown in the graphic display. I have a lap top computer with the same setup as my desktop
and deleted BoostSpeed 12 from the laptop. The reliability and problem history started to show up on the chart. I conclude that there is something in the BoostSpeed software that is affecting this control panel issue. Got any fixes?

Discounts

Hello Team!

Have been using a free version of your BoostSpeed program and liked it a lot. Thank you for such excellent software. I was wondering if it's possible to get a discount on the pro version as I would really like to use it fully.

Thanks

Sudden switch to No Error Mode

I am using a ASUS N73S system with W10-64, Windows standard firewall and Kaspersky antivirus. All softwares are update and everything runs fine.
Working with IExplorer and Edge in parallel, suddenly the screen turns black and the system is blocked during 3 or 4 seconds, then the screen pops up again and the system reactivates in Without Error Mode. I have to reboot and the system reactivate in Normal Mode. This looks like a stability problem, but maybe a compatibility case between edge and ie.
Thank you to help me

No generic, or cliche answers and then a subjective hardware ?

Please dont "mail" this in! I am realtively PC savvy, not an IT genius, but I built this PC and have a little knowledge about a lot of things but I want to know hidden or not-well-known settingsto enhance speed and performance of my PC ...so What tweaks should I implement or adjust, that BootSpeed12 will do for me, to get the fatest possible PC? IE dont tell about turning off start up apps or processes etc, I already knoiw that... and lastly...
what should be next PC build under $1000 (not including monitor) give me CPU, HDD,RAM and GPU specs
Impress me!
This is not really a right or wrong answer so pleae cosult your collegaues because it will be challenging to surprise or impress me but there are so many settings on this software that there are bound to be 'Illuminati type of stuff

Start Menu Disappeared

A few weeks ago while using Windows 10 on my desktop computer, the monitor momentarily went black then came back on. But since then the Start Menu is totally missing. After clicking on Start button, an error message comes up now.

Windows 10 Restart Stalls

I recently had to do a Windows re-install (repair technician did in shop) because of BSOD issue related to dell driver. I bought BoostSpeed 11 to try keep my PC in good operating condition and help with many of the Windows issues including fixing a restart problem. Since the re-install of windows, restart actually restarted just once. Now when try restart it just goes through the motions, on screen message says restarting windows and monitor goes dark (power is on) but restart does not happen. I wait 5 minutes and then press power button to shutdown. I repress power button to bring windows back on. Windows 10, using this method takes usually between 45 to 60 seconds.

If it wasn't for windows updates I could live with not using the restart option. However, windows update requires the restart so I expect it to fail each time there is an update. Recently did scan and did the suggested tweaks in the Maintain section of BoostSpeed 11. Any thoughts or suggestions?
