After the 5/21/18 update my computers USBs periodically restart. Every hour or two the audio and wifi restart, so it mau not be the USBs but both of those are connected through USB. So its probably some driver thing but I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Thanks, Joseph Continue reading...

Unable to re-install Windows 10
by Guest MikeCooper1- 0 replies

Hi everyone, I could use a little advice. I have an eight year old HP laptop. The original operating system installed was Vista. In January I did a clean install successfully of Windows 10. The laptop is a 64 bit machine, but it was set up to run as a 32 bit. A few days ago I decided to do a clean install setting the machine to run as a 64 bit machine, but this has not been a success. I get as far as Cortana running through the basic setup for the wifi and account then the screen goes black and goes no further. I have had no success with fixing the problem, a reset has not worked, nor has trying to do an install in Safe mode. I have tried a re-install as a 32 bit machi…

Windows 10 Update Crashed Two Very Different machines
by Guest vicroberts- 0 replies
- 235 views
The Windows 10 "April" update crashed two very different computers yesterday. Both machines needed a full reinstall of Windows to get them back in operation. One was a newer ThinkPad T460 laptop with an i7 x64 processor. The other was an older Dell desktop with an unknown Intel x32 processor. Both were running Windows 10 Pro. They two machines had very little in common other than both were running AVG anti-virus and MaywareBytes. Could MalwareBytes be the issue? Continue reading...

Failure to install Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803, error 0x80070643.

I have repeatedly attempted to install update 1803, however, it rolls back in the middle of installation. These last times I tried to update manually. It says in the update window to restart Windows for it to install, but it just won't. Here's a look: My machine is an HP Pavilion 17-g121wm. It runs Windows 10, obviously; the security suite is Windows Defender; and I have a printer, sheet-feed scanner, and USB headset as peripherals. Should I disconnect the peripherals before updating? Am I missing a driver update or anything else? Continue reading...

I've been trying for hours, only to get one thing going and I'm near giving up in anger. Bought the game, got the email receipt. Got 400Mbit Internet, 32GB, 1070GTX X8, i7, SB ZXR, Asus Formula VIII mobo, EVO 960 etc etc etc. Everything works on this machine but now for the first time I try Microsoft Store and I can't even refund my not working game. How can I make the 'download' button work??? I tried 2 browsers Chrome and Edge, both on default browser settings no popups should be blocked, not using any AV or malware that can block stuff unless maybe Windows Defender blocks it's own apps. I've rebooted countless times, restarted browsers, tried talking wit…

Thanks for making auto update picking time to auto update windows system in the middle of stormy weather, so electricity power cut off can shut down my pc instead of myself. Thanks for having auto update picking time for updating windows in the middle of house on fire for some people. Thanks for having auto update saying:"Please do not turn off your computer." Thanks for being so stupid. Stupid I said? Retarded is a better word to describe you. Let me translate this for some people that do not realize what Microsoft meant... "Please wait for your PC to break up, get on fire, explode, burn, broke, do not shut it down in time we choose to tell you." Continue readi…

The most recent Windows update create a second drive on my computer and did not allocate enough memory for what was stored there. I now receive Windows error messages saying I'm out of memory on my new d: drive. When I look at the d: drive there is nothing there. I had to go to the previous version of Windows update to remove the partition. I no longer receive error messages that say I'm out of memory. My main drive has plenty of space so I don't know why Windows felt it was necessary to partition space for it. Continue reading...

by Guest LorettaHarnarineSD- 0 replies
- 217 views
Every time I call up Microsoft.com, it comes up with an account I don't use and also it won't let me put in what I believe is the password for this account. I believe that this is causing major problems with my getting onto any website. How can I get rid of this email? I want to use the one that I just signed into not the wrong one. I can't sync my iPad or get into my other laptop. I think it is this account that I don't want that is causing all the problems. What should I do? Some sites say they are insecure and a program I have installed said there is malware on this laptop. Please help me out here as I am very upset right now about not being able to do certain things o…

/Windows update destroyed my computer, how do I recover from this?
by Guest Chuck3737- 0 replies
- 251 views
Last night I restarted to let Windows update do its thing. It was updating for a long time and when I came back it was on the "choose an option" recovery screen. I've tried all the easy option to no avail: - Use another operating system shows two other windows 10 (the one it wants to use is called rollback for some reason), and they boot sort of normally, but request a password. I have no password since I always used a pin. "I forgot my password" results in an error about unable to connect to profsvc (or something like that). The internet is X'd out at the lower right and shows no options to connect. If it's my Microsoft password, I don't know it. I went and r…

I would like to completely get rid of the head & shoulders symbol on my start-up screen. I have deleted the account pictures and also the public account pictures, now although it does not show a picture I still get the head & sholders symbol in a see through circle. This spoils my custom start screen, so is there a way of stopping it appearing at all. There is nothing at all in C:/ Users : Public There is nothing at all in C:/ ProgramData : Microsoft : User Account Pictures This is what I get, but pale white in an opaque circle right in the middle of my start-up screen I'm not talking about the "Log-On" screen.

Here's how it works standardly: Tap twice Hold down on the second tap Move around and you're dragging Release finger to stop dragging Here's what I like it to do: Tap twice Hold down on the second tap Move around and you're dragging Release finger Reposition finger and continue dragging by flicking the touchpad some more (repeat steps 4 & 5 as many times as desired) Release finger and perform one addditional tap to stop dragging That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads. Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it. I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edge…
