Windows 11 – tcpip.sys green screen of death (GSOD) [Solved]

Hello and greeting to everyone!

Trying to upgrade your machine to Windows 11 via Windows Insider and getting a green screen of death because something went wrong with tcpip.sys driver?

Ok, this one may not work for everyone, but at least for Portuguese readers that have installed Autenticação.Gov application just follow this tip.

Uninstall Autenticação.Gov before upgrading and…you’re done!

It seems strange but, I could not upgrade 3 different laptops (different models and different vendors) and now the upgrade runs like a charm!

Just hope AMA can fix this issue asap so I can fully install the app again.

[SOLVED] Bluetooth headphones volume control not working in Windows 10

Sometime ago I had an issue with my bluetooth heaphones. For some reason, I couldn’t control their volume in Windows.

After some research I’ve found out that this issue was related with something called “absolute volume” which enables you to control your headphones volume independently from Windows volume.

At least for me this was causing issues, making it impossible to control headphones volumes from Windows,at all.

So, here’s how I solved it:

1. Open registry (regedit.exe)
2. Navigate to: “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Bluetooth\Audio\AVRCP\CT”
3. Create a new DWORD (if not exists) called “DisableAbsoluteVolume”
4. Set the new entry to “1”

And you’re done!
