Firewall switches to 'Not Using Recommended Settings' on its own
by Guest CherylGleason- 0 replies
- 218 views
Greetings, So this is an issue I've been having for a while and I can not find any info about it online whatsoever. So, every so often, my Windows Firewall switches to 'Not Using Recommended Settings' by itself which prevents me from browsing the 'net (save for YouTube). I've done multiple scans to see if that fixes it but it still does it every so often. I also thought it was Steam doing it so I stopped using it but it still pops up. I know it's not malware as my computer runs perfectly fine with no problems but, for some reason, Firewall is giving me the biggest issue. I also know it's not my antivirus as I don't have the paid version that includes its own firewall…

Headphone jack stopped working last night. Plugging in headphones DID give the "you just plugged..." message, but the speakers kept playing and no sound from headphones. Restarted: no change There is no headphone option showing in the device/sound setup, so can't enable it there.

And now I don't even get a message when I plug the headphones in. Neither for the headphone jack, nor the microphone jack. Last night I got the message, just not the result. Now I g…

I am using Windows 8 OS and recently I am facing problem with bringing my External Hard Disk online. First, the disk doesn't show itself in My Computer. So I had to look for it through My computer (right click)> Manage> Storage> Disk Management> Actions> More actions> Rescan disks. Once I saw the status of the disk as 'Disk 1, Unknown, Not initialized', I right clicked on it, and saw that the disk is 'Offline'. Now to bring it online, I clicked the 'Offline' button and waited for a while. At last a dialogue box showing 'This device is not ready' appeared on the screen. I have tried to initialize the disk, though I would have to loose all the data in t…

Unable to log in to laptop, even after resetting password
by Guest BrynneNicolsen- 0 replies
- 198 views
Hello all, I have a Windows 8 laptop which I have not used for several years (Acer Aspire S7 purchased in 2014; however I am not sure if it is Windows 8 or 8.1 and unsure how to check without being able to unlock it). I wanted to dust it off and use it again, however it will not accept my password to log in (saying the password is incorrect, and providing a website to reset). I reset my password (which I was able to use to log into this website) but the laptop still will not accept it. I let it perform any pending updates as well but they did not fix the issue (it does have an internet connection). I used the eye icon to display the inputted attempts, so the iss…
