Factory reset Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.863)

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are no currently listed problems resetting version 24H2 of Windows 11 and no specific steps you need to perform, are you experiencing any problems with that insider build that is causing you to perform a Windows reset?

 

Vertical line appears in duplicate mode in Windows 11, version 24H2

I have an external display, and project to this display in duplicate mode. If I move the mouse cursor to the right edge of the external display, a corrupted vertical line on the right edge of the screen appears.

This issue only began to appear after installing Windows 11, version 24H2.

Hi, Howard_35_78

Yes, you must first register your YubiKey with your Outlook.com account, irrespective of whether you are using a local or an administrator account on your computer. Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Enable Two-Step Verification:
   
   • Log into your Outlook.com account.
     
   • Go to ‘Security Settings’ and enable ‘Two-step Verification’.
     
2. Add YubiKey as a Security Key:
   
   • In the ‘Security Basics’ page, click on ‘More Security Options’.
     
   • Under the ‘Windows Hello and Security Keys’ section, click on ‘Set up a Security key’.
     
   • Follow the prompts to add your YubiKey as a security key.
     

After these steps, you can use your YubiKey to authenticate yourself when logging into your Outlook.com account from any computer. When you insert your YubiKey into a USB port and touch the button on the YubiKey, it generates a one-time password to authenticate your login. This means that you don’t have to remember a password, making your account more secure against phishing and other attacks.

The YubiKey 5C NFC works with both local and administrator accounts and can be used to secure a wide range of online services that support FIDO U2F or FIDO2 protocols, including Microsoft accounts. Remember, it’s always recommended to have a backup login method (like a secondary email, phone number, or another security key) in case you lose your YubiKey.



If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
