Windows Timeline in my computer has been stuck at May 16th for a while now. It only shows history up to that date and the normal "Now" task view, despite me using my PC normally within the missing timeframe. Yesterday I fixed the issue by briefly switching to and back from a local account, bt today the problem has resurfaced. Is there a solution for this problem? Continue reading...

Offline Save Locations Incorrect
by Guest I Used to Be RJB- 0 replies
- 232 views
I have posted similar aggravations with Office/OneDrive not playing well whilst offline (and had them closed, unresolved): Hey! Get Off My Cloud! (Save As... to Hard Drive, Please) Recent File List Forces Cloud-Only Option I don't know if this is a Windows issue, an Office issue, or a OneDrive issue. In a nutshell, when I'm ONline, I'm forced to save to the Cloud (used to be a version management issues online/offline... Seems to have been resolved in a recent update). But when I'm OFFline, Office doesn't save to my preferred file location. It saves to the Windows/Documents folder. I have OneDrive set to save to my PC: I have my Office De…

Windows 10 Mic & Headset Problem

This is getting pretty damn absurd. Listen, your updates mess(would love to be vulgar) things up left and right. everytime i get an update you destroy my pc. You dont need my specs and spare me your automated response of run this dinky troubleshooter. The hardware works albeit Via. No driver on earth, at least that ive come across in the past year+, recognizes my headset let alone the mic itself. Always says speakers, doesnt recognize external. Prior to this last garbage update, i could get an external mic to work by disabling the drivers, unplugging the mic, reboot, plug mic in, enable drivers and it would work. if unplugged, poof, had to repeat pr…

Windows 10 black screen w/ Cursor -> Formatted but start up error
by Guest FantasticUsername- 0 replies
- 216 views
Hello, I was previously having an issue with my laptop whereby when I logged in to my account on windows 10 where all I had was a black screen with a cursor. This even happened when I loaded up in safe mode. I tried everything: tried resetting my GPU driver, created a new account, scf scan in command prompt, etc. However, I just reinstalled/formatted windows 10 last night through the repair menu. However, now I am in a issue where I am stuck in a loop. I get to select my language, and sometimes my internet connection, and then it tells me to wait and restarts after about 5 mins. I am told that there is an issue with my "start up". I have tried plugging in an in…

Same Update Installation Problem on 2 different Computers within 2 days of each other.
by Guest LennyB1- 0 replies

We own an Levono and a HP Pavillion laptop. 2 days ago, the Leveno installed updates, and now freezes when it goes into Windows 10, showing the recycle bin in the upper left hand corner, but nothing happens when I press it. i. The bottom left has the start menu, the search menu, and the task view icons but nothing happens when I press any of the buttons. WIFI, speaker,action center to not respond either. After spending a day trying to fix it, I finally managed to reinstall the factory setting, getting windows 10 to work, but losing all other stuff. Thinking it was an isolated incident, I let my HP pavilion laptop reinstall updates this evening, and the sa…

Windows 10 Update SR4
by Guest AmyRupert- 0 replies

After waking up to a blue screen asking me to choose a keyboard language, 4 phone calls with Windows tech support, a trip to the store to buy a USB flash drive, downloading Windows 10 to the drive from my laptop, not being able to boot from the drive on my desktop and 8 hours of lost work time I was told by last rep they were no longer directing people to do clean installs and there was a known issue with the update that had been moved to "the next level" because they could not guarantee data loss. I've been trying to confirm this online because he said it could be 15 to 20 days before a fix was available. Anyone know if this is indeed a known issue being addressed by M…

What is eating up storage on my computer?
by Guest Ethan Z.- 0 replies
- 184 views
I have a laptop that has a 64GB SSD (not expandable) and 64GB isn't really a lot but I still manage to get through with it. However, these past few days I've been noticing that my available space left is slowly decreasing. At first it was at 12GB, but it's been going down to like 8GB then to 6GB. I've tried using CCleaner and Disk Cleanup to clean up storage space on my SSD, but it's no use and only got rid of like 20MB. I also thought that it was Windows Update eating up my storage, but there weren't any updates. Basically, my computer went from 12GB to 6.09GB in just a few days and it's not like I downloaded a lot of programs nor download a lot of media onto my computer…

Wrong rendering using 'System Enhanced' mode for high DPI
by Guest ExpresiiPaint- 0 replies
- 181 views
This is on Surface Book 2 with GTX 1050 with 2018 April Update. There seems to be a bug in the 'System Enhanced' mode for high DPI. Expresii is a desktop app and I was happy to run it with the 'System Enhanced' mode for high DPI, until I tried using it with nvidia GPU. Using the Intel GPU, then rendering on the main window is correct: But when GTX 1050 chosen, anything rendered with OpenGL is shown smaller than it should be and also shifted: Please verify and hopefully have it fixed if indeed it's a bug in the 'System Enhanced' mode using nvidia. Thanks! Continue reading...

I'm getting a low disk space error for drive "D". I've cleared out everything I can find, but the majority of the space is being used by a category "Other". I've tried clicking and right clicking - but I can't get any additional information on what "Other" is. When I open drive "D" from file explorer - there are no files or folders displayed. Plenty of space on drive "C". How can I fix the low disk space on drive "D"? Continue reading...

Sunday morning I wake to my computer stating I have updates ready. Click-OK An hour and a half or longer the computer is shut down (I think) and on reboot i get a blue screen that says; Choose your keyboard layout. I chose US. Next screen says; Choose an option Continue Use another operation system Troubleshoot Turn off your PC Each of these options have various choices none of which bring my machine back to windows. I can only assume that the Monthly/weekly update failed and left me in limbo. This PC is running Windows 10 since the Win 7 to 10 free update with no issues. Question: How can I either complete t…

Latest Windows 10 Update has Corrupted Windows Install
by Guest Scattershine- 0 replies
- 186 views
I was just forced to install a Windows update and I am not sure what happened. My computer restarted and took me immediately to the recovery options screen, however, none of the presented options work. Either they will not run and return me to the options screen, or if they do run, they fail. For context, the only option that will run is "Use another operating system" which will attempt to boot Windows 10, but present me with an error message at the end. Several options tell me to try to reset the PC in Troubleshoot>Reset this PC which is not an option that exists. I am unable to restore to a previous version as windows has either not been creating restore…

I let Windows install updates today ( may 22nd ) and now I can't access my lenovo laptop. It's going round in a loop asking me to choose keyboard setup, then choose between windows "rollback" or an earlier version of windows 10. Either option ends with windows not being able to contact ( or access ?) Profsvcs and advising me to contact my system administrator ( ie. Me ) The usual log in screen appears to indicate that it's not connecting to the internet, with a cross in the internet icon at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Any idea how I can get it to connect to the internet again. Help please !!!! I can't access any of my documents until I can get this sorted…

My wife's computer originally came with Windows 7 and an option to upgrade to Windows 10 for free which she did.

There was a error popup about not being able locate the desktop file. I've tried all of the options that popped up as solutions to no avail. Any suggestions for a solution? Thanks...

After logging into my account I get this message: c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is not accessible access is denied. I then can close the error message and I'm left with the recycle bin (which I can't open) and what looks like the start button but nothing happens when I right or left click on that. When I try to open the recycle bin I get an error message: Explorer.EXE An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist. I was able to use DOS to look at the drive and it shows my desktop with all the folders I have. I have also tried to rollback and restore. It said there is nothing to rollback to and for restore it said I have no rest…

- 218 views
Got the message yesterday that my update was ready to install. I scheduled it for 3 am this morning. When I went to my computer this morning around 9 my page asking for my computer password was up. Obviously the machine had restarted. I entered the password but it said profile not available or something to that effect. I could not get to my desktop after 5 tries. Went on line. Suggestion was to shut it off and restart. Did so. The little blue window came up with the rotating white circle for a minute or two, then dissappeared. The screen is just blank. When I moved my mouse or hit the return my curser would come up with a little blue circle for a few seconds and …

OneDrive automatically deleting files from OneDrive folder
by Guest BorderReiver(2)- 0 replies
- 209 views
The OneDrive forum appears to have been locked, so I am trying this one. I moved some large files (photos) to my OneDrive folder to share between PCs and left them synchronising. When I came back to check on their progress, the files had disappeared from the PCs. Looking at the OneDrive window it shows them being added to Onedrive then mysteriously being removed a few minutes later. What on earth is going on? I tried Ctrl & Z to see if it could undo the removal. The files looked as if they were being restored - but just disappeared again. It's a good job I noticed, otherwise I could have lost these files forever. I can't afford to have my important files…
