I am increasingly displeased with my new MSI laptop's power management and I'm not sure if it's a Windows or MSI problem:
- When I enable automatic sleep while plugged in, it will occasionally stay stuck sleeping while the fans are screeching. Only a force shutdown will let me use the computer again.
- When I disable automatic sleep while plugged, the screen will never shut down, even after I manually lock the screen.
- Since neither the keyboard nor the associated SteelSeries software account for it, I had to create a macro to navigate the Windows menu to the Sleep function. When used, the Windows menu is still open when awakened.
- When manually put to sleep this way, the laptop will eventually hibernate by itself, slowing down the awakening cycle.
My previous Asus laptop running Windows 10 didn't have any of these shortcomings which makes me wonder whether it's another Windows 11 gripe or poor compared engineering at MSI or both.
I finally caught it in the act!
I've complained before about my laptop frequently rebooting on its own, usually at night. I initially thought it was for Windows Updates, but the increased frequency has made me doubt this.
This time I caught it rebooting on its own during the day after a blue screen of death too fast for me to see the error code. I went to the Windows Event Log and I saw an error logged after the reboot but nothing specific at the time of the crash itself. It generated a dump I can't open by myself, which is a poor hint at what might be the problem.
The laptop seller offered me to repair the computer at their facility, but for that I first need to save my data on an external storage as I last transferred my data directly from my old computer to the new. I know I had some 2.5" drives stashed somewhere in my house so I ordered an enclosure.
However, I'm not able to find the drives anymore so I'll have to order an actual drive since I now have an empty enclosure, which will delay the troubleshooting process further.
Stay tuned for the next episode of my modern computer woes!
I’ve not been able to do a complete reset on my buggy MSI yet, but it’s been helpfully encouraging me by suddenly dropping support for the whole Start Menu. It doesn’t open anymore at all. The Windows key has also lost several of its features like bringing up a native emoji picker in any text field (Win + .
).
I found an online article suggesting 9 ways of fixing this known issue that pops in year in year out according to the Microsoft community forums, but none of the first 7 worked, and the last two consist in reinstalling Windows and resetting the computer to factory settings. 😰
Marking the moment at ESOC tonight: 21:48:47 UTC, the exact second of ESA/JAXA #BepiColombo’s closest approach to Mercury on its fourth flyby 🛰️🌚
From left to right, Johannes Benkhoff (current Bepi project scientist), Geraint Jones (incoming Bepi project scientist), & Jack Wright (research fellow & Bepi MCAM scientist) 🙂👍
Now we have to wait half an hour to reacquire the signal from Bepi & then a few more hours until the first images come down 🤞
#SpaceScience #SpaceExploration
Of course, given that Mercury & BepiColombo are several light minutes away from us at the moment, you can ask whether that time is at Earth or at Mercury.
But it’s too late for that tonight – just enjoy the moment 🤪
The Golden Age 🛰️☄️
A reminder that this room at ESOC where the mission ops team are controlling #BepiColombo tonight during its Mercury flyby, the same room where #JUICE was controlled during its Moon/Earth flyby a couple of weeks ago, has a long history of amazing space exploration adventures 🙇♂️

Aber was sind diese insgesamt acht langen Kinoversionen gegen die 120 jeweils fünfundzwanzigminütigen Fernsehepisoden, in denen mittels Puppenspiel das Geschehen in einem kleinen Theaterbetrieb parodiert wird – einer „third class variety show“, wie einer der stets realen Gaststars, Mark Hamill alias Luke Skywalker aus „Star Wars“, einmal gegenüber dem Frosch Kermit über das ätzte, was ihm da auf der Bühne begegnete, worauf der Impresario der Muppets sein grünes Maul charakteristisch rümpfte und durch die Lippen hervorpresste: „second class variety show“. Und wir alle vor den Bildschirmen korrigierten im Stillen noch einmal mehr: erstklassiges Varieté! Das zeigen ja schon die beiden Gaststars, die 1976 zum Auftakt der Serie und 1981 zum Abschluss auftraten: Joel Grey, Darsteller des Zeremonienmeisters aus dem Film „Cabaret“, und die Stepptanzlegende Gene Kelly.

Hypolite Petovan
Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •New woes since I wrote this:
- Dota 2 randomly crashes back to desktop, sometimes several times in the same evening. At other times it works flawlessly.
- The "FN" key used to illuminate the keys that can be used with it. Now it happens when I press the letter "T"??? Pretty distracting to have the keyboard quickly switch colors whenever I'm typing some text.
- It automatically restarted twice in a couple days, which made me lose work in a software I left open. Interestingly, on the first restart, it was able to rescue the file I was working on. Not on the second time. 😞
I've contacted the seller, I'm not hoping for much but it's the worst computer I've ever own, surely there's a way not to flush $2,500 down the drain?
