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

How to reduce boot time?
The main reason I bought this program was to help increase my boot speed. it's 4 minutes and 15 seconds. After running the Pro version of the program the boot speed is still the same. I deselected a bunch of items in the startup screen and it's still the same. I don't understand why it takes so long. Please help.I'm not sure if this is a windows question or a software question. thanks. Paul
Context menu delay on desktop shortcuts and explorer folders
When I right click on a shortcut on the desktop or on a file folder in the file explorer it can take up to 2 minutes to come up. Once it does everything exicutes normaly. If I right click on an empty space on the desktop or on a file in the explorer the contex menu works as it should.
I have uninstalled cortana, disabled all contex menu options with this program, and checked and repaired all regestery items. I don't have any idea what else to do. I use the right mouse click a lot and when the delay happens it is very disruptive to workflow.
BoostSpeed tool to clean roaming folder
I have 70 GB of data on my c:/user/AppData/Roaming folder. I have a space issue because my Win11 OS is insalled on a M.2 SSD drive with 120GB. I've moved the My Documents folders to a standard 2TB drive and told windows to install all apps on the large drive. I would like to keep the OS boot disk limited to windows only and make my boot quick!
Any tools in Auslogic that would address cleaning up my /appdata/Roaming data?
Thanks for your help.

Как устранить утечку оперативной памяти в Windows 10?
Добрый день. Иногда падают игры, с ошибкой на нехватку оперативной памяти. Проблема в том что WIN10 уводит в кэш слишком много памяти. На скриншоте 1.6гб+, но это после чистки. было 10гб.
Используя RAMMap.exe выявил что те 10гб были схаваны Mapped File: standby. Почистил. но сейчас опять память утекает..
как можно отключить это недоразумение?
Служба SuperFetch отключена. Что еще может жрать память и не отдавать её?
Windows Startup new item
A text box appears "A new item was added to Windows" (or something like this). When I click on Inspect, I get a long list of items which baffles me. It would help if text box, or item list, would identify the new item because I can't figure it out. Thanks.
