Whenever I am about to be taken to the Windows login screen, my monitor says HDMI2 No Signal. However when I reboot the PC instead of shutting down then turning it on, this issue never happens
...

if I shut down the computer then turn it back on. if however I press Restart instead, then there's display

What could be causing this?

Nothing, black screen

Yes I'll try doing that

So I've noticed a lot of the time when I turn on my PC, I go past BitLocker Pre-Boot PIN screen and then my monitor switches off. My PC keeps going. If I however...

Never said piracy tho :sarc:

I have my own methods...

They only work on physical drives, not network shares. This has been documented for a long time and I've personally tested it, always been this way

But on a technical level, why not? I'd ask...

... How could the ransomware open the image without knowing its password first?

Since Macrium no longer supports free users, they won't respond to this question of mine beside their annoying copy-paste answer as to how I have to pay to receive an actual response

So I ask you...

There are applications that don't detail whether you can deploy them silently or not.
Are there solutions that let you "repack" the installer in a way that the app could be deployed silently?
...

Will you do Kaspersky?

OK I"ll ask them

Unless I misunderstoood you, I'm already doing that. I'll be waiting on Synology Support's response. Running it as a scheduled task as the SYSTEM user from inside that local directory on the C Drive...

As NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The only difference here is that this is a local folder instead of a network share, this time. Network share throws that error code/message tho every other "variable" is the...

Yes that's probably why, it doesn't have access because this isn't an AD environment, my Synology NAS doesn't permit me to add my hostname ($COMPUTER) to the list of "people" that can access my share...

I use Synology NAS as my file and app server. I am trying to run a scheduled script as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM but whenever I try it, it fails with error code 0xFFFD0000

So you don't know if there are laptops like this or not?

I see, but are you also saying that enterprise-grade laptops' BIOS can be unlocked just like a regular laptop? Like, I could just pull out the CMOS from the workstation and put it back in and I'm...

It does tho. You could boot into something like Hiren Boot CD and erase BitLocker and you just got access to the user account and all their data, file shares, etc.

Perceived? I will argue it's actual, not perceived. Don't you find it scary how someone could just physically get your laptop, remove the CMOS, put it back in and voila, they have access to your...

Problem I have is that if you take out the CMOS, you'll reset the BIOS,clearing the BIOS password. This is insecure.

Are there laptops or MOBOs out there where this won't happen? Do enterprise...

I do indeed use my MS account on this PC:

I have the "Automatically download and install app updates" enabled yet it doesn't do so (in Microsoft Store --> Account --> Settings)

What about firewall?
