Nice to see a mostly positive post about salvaging a perfectly good Lenovo ThinkPad laptop using @linuxmint and how helpful it is.

But instead of lamenting about some of the drawbacks, it would be nice to hear about all of the Windows crapware & Copilot users will be avoiding by using Linux.

Black screens on Windows 11 are primarily caused by faulty, outdated, or corrupted graphics drivers, failed Windows updates, or issues with display connections. To quickly fix it press Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B to reset the graphics driver (the screen may flicker briefly), or press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open the security screen and select Restart from the power icon if the system is frozen but responsive.

1. Check physical connections: Turn off the PC and ensure HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA cables are securely connected, trying a different port or monitor if possible.

2. Boot into Safe Mode: Restart the computer, hold Shift while clicking Restart on the login screen, then navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and press 4 to enter Safe Mode.

3. Update or rollback drivers: Once in Safe Mode, open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click your graphics card, and select Update driver or Roll back driver.

4. Disable Fast Startup: Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, click Choose what the power buttons do, select Change settings that are currently unavailable, and uncheck Turn on fast startup.

5. Repair system files: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run sfc /scannow, followed by DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth if the first command fails.

6. Uninstall recent updates: Go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history and uninstall the most recent update if the issue started after an update

Une participante à une précédente #install_party #Linux nous contacte pour savoir si on organise bientôt une #desinstall_party ❗
En effet, comme elle n'en a vraiment plus besoin, elle veut savoir comment retirer #windows10 de son ordinateur 😃
La désinstall-party, on était pas prêts !
