If you're a frequent user of the Windows Command Prompt, you might have noticed that it now opens up PowerShell by default in Windows 11. This feature has been around for many versions of Windows, and it's part souped-up command line, part automation tool, and part scripting language. While you can use it to run the same sort of tasks you used to use Command Prompt for, it's actually much more powerful and is an important tool in many IT professionals' daily lives.

Troubleshooting issues in Windows 11, unfortunately, will be part of the experience of using a laptop or a desktop. Some issues are certainly more annoying than others. One category that always irritates me is anything to do with networking, as it can take multiple troubleshooting steps to resolve even basic issues. Maybe you've upgraded your Wi-Fi router, or set up a mesh network, and you've noticed that Windows is saying it could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings. Or, perhaps you've been using your laptop at school or work, and received this error when connecting back to your home network. Whatever the circumstances, this issue can be fixed fairly quickly, and I've highlighted the most useful troubleshooting steps below.

The Asus ROG Ally is a powerful portable gaming console running Windows 11. It's one of the best Steam Deck alternatives, and has flown off shelves since launch. With how much performance it boasts, you’ll want to play it constantly, but the battery life means you’ll be plugging it in constantly. To keep your console topped up, we’ve compiled a list of the best chargers for the ROG Ally. Some of these will be a backup to the charger it is bundled with, while others add additional ports or even an external GPU for more graphical power.

The Steam Deck is a fantastic portable gaming handheld, but it's also a capable mini-PC with a full-fledged Linux desktop mode. It also has easily expandable storage, either from a microSD card slot, or by opening the back and replacing the internal M.2 SSD with a larger capacity drive. Like any computer, sometimes things go wrong, but Valve has made it fairly easy to get the console working again. One of the more common issues is a flashing black screen when trying to boot the Steam Deck, where it never quite manages to load in. If this has happened to you, before re-imaging the Steam Deck, there's a simple fix you can try that might fix the issue without losing your downloaded games.
