0x8000000b is a widespread error that some users may face while trying to add a new third-party account (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) to the native Mail app on Windows. This application is built-in and can be extremely useful for managing emails in different accounts without leaving the desktop. The reason why such an error occurs is problems with syncing - that the Mail app is unable to establish a connection with an external e-mail server. This can happen due to some third-party or even native firewall blocking connection requests, disabled POP and (IMAP) settings, or even a bug in the Mail app itself. As a result, a message saying "Something went wrong. We're sorry, but we weren't able to do that." stretches over the screen and stops users from adding the account. In rarer cases, the same error may also take place when trying to send an e-mail message from one of the already-added accounts. Whatever it is, we have a list of solutions that might be able to help. Follow our guide below to try each one of them and deal with the problem eventually!

ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR is quite a popular error that may occur in any browser including Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, and so forth - mostly on Windows 10/11 systems. HTTP2 is a new protocol that replaced its HTTP precursor with a faster time response by consolidating files into one packet and transmitting them to the server. One of the reasons why ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR occurs is because the website you are trying to visit does not support the HTTP/2 protocol - often due to cheap hosting or that the administrator of the website has not enabled this protocol on the server. This reason would be relevant if you are unable to visit one specific webpage. Otherwise, if that is the entire browsing you are facing problems with, then it could be related to more general causes like outdated browser versions, incorrect date & time settings, conflicting browser add-ons, overstuffed cache, or even experimental features leading to connection conflicts. Below, we have compiled a guide with solutions that will potentially resolve the problem and get your browser back to working again. Note that the instructions below are mainly focused on resolving the problem in Google Chrome, however, you can also use them for performing similar actions in other browsers too.

0x800f0831 is a Windows 11 error that can be encountered while trying to download-install a new cumulative update onto the system. In the majority of cases, users reported this problem to occur when dealing with KB5008212, KB5005033, or KB5005190 updates. Although the reason for this specific issue is indefinite, the information collected indicates it can be related to corrupted/missing system elements, internal bugs, or conflict caused by third-party software. Whatever it is, you should try each solution we attached below ranging from easier to more complex ones. At some point, one of them should sort out the problem eventually.

These are the kind of messages one will receive if the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll file is missing or cannot be located: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer", "There was a problem starting api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. The specified module could not be found.", "Error loading api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. The specified module could not be found.", "The code execution cannot proceed because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.", "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.". The most common reason why such errors occur is a lack of Visual C++ Redistributable elements, file corruption, or faulty software that you are attempting to run. Due to one of these causes, users are unable to run specific applications that require the file. It is possible to face the same or similar error like MSVCR110.dll, CONCRT140.dll, msvcp110.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll, and so forth in any Windows OS. In essence, this error should not be a big challenge to solve on whatever Windows version you use (be it 7, 10, or 11). We have delivered a complete tutorial with solutions that might potentially work down below.

DLL files are an integral part of Windows libraries, enabling the proper operation of different programs. Such files are abundantly various and have their own correlation with each program you use. When one of the files becomes corrupted or missing, the associated program can run into a fault at the early start or later down the road. The reason why this could happen is non-binary, however, multiple information collected from internet resources often comes down to a lack of compatible Visual C++ Redistributable packages on the system. Users facing problems with msvcp110.dll specifically reported the error when trying to launch various Adobe suite programs like Photoshop, Lightroom, and so forth. Here are some examples of what messages users may get when dealing with this DLL problem.

Arai is a malicious program that targets corporate users to encrypt business data and demand victims pay money for its return. While restricting access to data, the virus alters files with the .araicrypt extension, leading to blank icons as well. For instance, a file like 1.pdf would change to 1.pdf.araicrypt and lose its original icon. After this, data becomes inaccessible and no longer usable. The next step Arai does is creating a text note called READ_TO_RESTORE_YOUR_FILES.txt. This note gives clarification on what happened and how victims can recover from it. In short, cybercriminals inform that all important data (databases, customer data, etc.) has been copied and local backups have been deleted. It is also said that in case of non-compliance with the provided instructions, victims will lose a chance to recover the data and also become subject to suffering both financial and reputational - due to potential data publication that may ensue afterward. Otherwise, victims should contact the swindlers using one of the given email addresses and pay for decryption (supposedly expensive and in cryptocurrency). In such a case, the extortionists promise to wipe out the collected data and not publish it, therefore.

Kriptor is the name of malicious software categorized as ransomware. Its main purpose lies in the encryption of personal files and extraction of money from victims. The virus starts by restricting access to valuable data (photos, videos, documents, databases etc.). It also changes all the affected filenames with the .Kriptor extension to highlight encryption. For instance, a file previously titled as 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.Kriptor and reset its icon as well. After this part is done, Kriptor creates a text note (read_it.txt) designed to explain decryption instructions. The desktop wallpapers get replaced as well. It is said victims have an opportunity to contact cybercriminals using one of the following e-mail addresses - leljicok@gmail.com or kkizuko@yandex.com and pay for decryption in Bitcoins. The exact price remains in secret and is to be revealed upon successful reach-out to swindlers. Ransomware developers also offer to test free decryption prior to paying the decryption fee - users are allowed to send up to 3 encrypted files and get them fully accessible in return. This way, cybercriminals try to create an additional bubble of trust, making victims more likely to pay for decryption.

You may sometimes come into a situation when no cursor is visible, making it difficult to know where you are with clicking. And there is no single reason why such issues are inclined to happen - it can be a system one-time glitch, outdated or corrupted drivers, problems with system file configuration, and other kinds of causes. Some end up seeing no cursor on their laptop or PC screen after unlocking back to the desktop, leaving the sleep mode, updating Windows, or even surfing the Google Chrome browser. It is sometimes possible to circumvent the issue by using a touchpad or stylus pen. Even so, it is yet only a temporary solution, which will not carry the main problem away. This is why we decided to compile this guide and help you get the mysteriously gone courses back to being real on the screen - with these 6 effective methods below.
