Unable to suppress confirmation popups in Powershell for Format-volume and Remove-Partition
Hi
I use the script below to format a secondary drive, I am using the script below ( it basically checks for the required disk size and attempts to format it. If the disk exists already the partition is deleted and recreated ( sort of a reset function if my device is re configured )
Despite using the -Confirm:$false parameters I am still getting pop messages asking for confirmation. I am using Windows 10 IOT LTSC 2021. The process for setting the drive needs to be automated so confirmation boxes won’t work for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
DD = get-disk |Where {$_.size -lt “35GB”}
$Part = $DD |Get-Partition
$Part |Remove-Partition -Confirm:$false
if ($DD.PartitionStyle -ne “GPT” -or $DD.PartitionStyle -ne “GPT” )
{Write-host “Disk not initialized.
Initializing” -for Yellow
$DD |Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
}
if ($DD.PartitionStyle -eq “MBR”)
{
Write-Host “Partition style is MBR
Setting Partition Style to GPT” -Fore Yellow
$dd |Set-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
}
$DD | New-Partition -UseMaximumSize -DriveLetter d

Windows 11 Corrupt Update, Windows First Steps keeps crashing after restart & opening system apps
Hi,
my Laptop is not working anymore since I installed Windows Updates and since then the Windows “First Steps” Install Helper keeps popping up and crashes each time.
I tried to reinstall updates, deinstall updates troubleshooting with sfc /scannow etc.

I didnt find any similar article about this issue.
I would be glad for any help, I fear that I have to reinstall Windows… Wont install Windows 11 again, just having issues with it.

VBA-Skript erstellt eine Tabelle mit Checkboxen. Nur kann die Tabelle nicht gruppiert werden
Ich habe mir vom Copiloten ein VBA-Skript erstellen lassen, welches eine Tabelle mit mehreren Checkboxen erstellt. Die Tabelle hat 5 Checkboxen nebeneinander und 17 Checkboxen untereinander
Ein mehrfacher Versuch diese Tabelle zu gruppieren, schlug fehl.
Auch Copilot konnte mir nicht mehr weiterhelfen und hat mich an den Microsoft Support verwiesen.

URGENT HELP NEEDED! Microsoft To Do has deleted extremely important reminders
I really need help. Microsoft To Do has deleted so many very important reminders. Things relating to work, finances, paying bills, subscriptions, everything. I’m despairing and really hoping there is some way to retrieve them
I have Microsoft To Do installed on (1) My Chromebook and (2) My Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G
8 hours ago all the reminders were in 2 lists – “Important with deadline” and “Important”. Together there were around 300 reminders. On my Chromebook I selected all the reminders in one list and moved them all to “Tasks”. I did the same thing with the other lists. I could see that the number to the right of “Tasks” had gone up by 300, and that the reminders had copy pasted in successfully. I thus proceeded to delete the 2 lists
Now I’ve discovered that for some reason the number of “Tasks” has reduced by 300 and I can no longer find the reminders on either my Chromebook or Samsung. The 2 lists have not returned – they are still deleted as far as I can tell (unless they’re hiding somewhere?). I’ve logged into Microsoft Outlook and the reminders are not in “Deleted Items”
I really hope there’s some way for me to retrieve these numerous reminders because they were beyond important. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Is there some automatic backup that would have the reminders?
