In explorer, both .txt and .log are sort as "Text Document", making you unable to distinguish them when sorting by "Type". If you set the open program of .log to any program other than notepad, then they can be distinguished in explorer. However, for other file extensions like .log2, you are able to distinguish it with .txt while still setting open with notepad. By checking Registry Editor, I found that HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1088811617-365832381-2661095228-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.log\UserChoice\ProgId are set to AppX4ztfk9wxr86nxmzzq47px0nh0e58b8fw, whilView the full article

I can't handle the forced updates. In the last few weeks my PC rebooted a couple of times in order to install new updates. All this while I'm working or gaming and it just starts updating without any warning. I have turned off auto update, selected to not check for updates for at least 4 weeks and even checked in regedit if settings were maybe reverted somehow.I even tried to force it to look for and to update at specific moments of the day but it does not work at all, it just keeps doing whatever and whenever it feels like doing something. Also I often experience a system freeze when windows View the full article

Where can I learn about best practices for using Windows 11 ridiculous directory structure? I have to believe that the people who designed this fiasco had something in mind w.r.t. how it would be used. Can anyone at Microsoft explain what their thinking was? For example, there are at least five "Documents" folders, several "Pictures" and "Downloads" folders (some of which appear at the same level under the same superior folder), at least three "personal" folders (but with different names). There doesn't seem to be any logic to the layout or contents of any of the folders and the more I tryView the full article

I had forgotten the Disk cleanup would take care of it. So I changed ownership and replaced privileges and was able to delete 99.999999% of everything, But there are a couple of files that state they are in use and cannot be deleted. I then checked Disk cleanup and the option is no longer there. I rebooted in safe mode and still same issue. I can rename the files and folders and even move them to a different folder but still cannot delete them because Windows thinks they are in use. Any help would be much appreciated,View the full article

User Profile Service Error I've tried everything, from resetting the USER.DAT file using the tutorial in another post about this same error. In Safe Mode and in my main profile, it doesn't detect any errors in the console (cmd), but when I leave the computer for almost 6 hours and return to use it, it shows the same error. I tried resetting Windows by deleting everything, and it continues the same way. At this point, I don't know what to do, which is why I'm resorting to writing this post. Please help.View the full article

I'm using a tv to extend my laptop's display but for some reason, no matter what I set the resolution to, it comes out annoyingly wonky like in these images:123For some reason I couldn't just upload the images to this directly so I had to host them on some website. Also for some reason, when I set it to only display on the tv, it works perfectly at 1920x1080.View the full article

It is as the title says. I can't download anything from Microsoft on the store, I can't download the Japanese Handwriting and Basic Typing (which seems to be a really common issue), I can't even update the computer. Everything is stuck in updates that aren't progressing.Downloading things from the internet works absolutely fine and is quick. The problem is NOT my internet.I can't even provide any screenshots here because that doesn't work either. Literally anything to do with Microsoft on this computer is cursed and does not work.I can't troubleshoot, that's also stuck, by the way.View the full article

I recently upgraded my HP laptop (Intel processor) to a Microsoft Surface Laptop running Windows 11 and which has an ARM Snapdragon X Plus Processor. One of the main printers I use is a Zebra label printer however after several attempts to run the driver setup on my new laptop I discovered that Zebra printers do not support ARM processors. I have tried TSC and Honeywell label printers and they also seem to use a Seagull driver which again does not support the ARM processor. Do you know of any four inch label printers that are supported on the Snapdragon processor running Windows 11?View the full article

Did I buy an external hard drive that I can't use? I want to back up my laptop, in its entirety, to this external hard drive and simply periodically update the backup to keep it current. I very specifically do NOT want my information in the cloud. I want it on an external hard drive, in my possession. When I search and pull up "Windows Backup" it only gives me the option of backing up to the cloud (One Drive) - unless I am just missing something. I don't see where I can change it and select my SSD drive (E:). Am I a moron and just missing something obvious?Martha JohnsonView the full article
