Sorry could not think how to word it properly--though I know it's important
To see if after un-installing a game there was anything left over I did a search. When I went to where the search path...

Thanks dalchina. Yes, I log in using the PIN. I'm not sure which password it or you are referring to and wonder if it is the one that was used when first installing/reinstalling W10 (which in my...

In a forum here it shows how to Create System Restore Point on Schedule in Windows 10 . At the very end of this process it then says "put in your password" and you're done. I assumed my password was...

I'll study your proposal. Gotta go to work now, Hopefully I will not have problems getting back here at 'tenforums' (Here in China I often need VPN to do so). thnx :-)

Malneb Thanks . Since it said "This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option)" I was ready to add the F/. Thanks for adding the 't/'. Good idea.
But what of the ones that say...

I will separate the results into groups
The following 2 worked

thanks Try3 I will give it a shot.
Why do I want this? It seems to be a faster way to shut down or reboot the computer, since, often enough, those tasks seems to slow down such an action. So, if it...

Megahertz and Malneb thank you both for your help and sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm in China now and the VPN hasn't been working well.
Anyhow, sad to say but I did it both ways: 1 below the...

Thank you so much :-)
When I created my other 2 shortcuts I did something similar but basically cut and pasted what someone in this forum had already done.
Before I go on, Would this require a...

I have 2 shortcuts on my desktop 1 to reboot and 1 to shut down the PC.
In the bottom right corner, on the taskbar, clicking on the taskbar overflow will show you things like the antivirus, windows...

Well thank you too :-) It would be nice knowing what caused it though. Such a weird never-experienced-before problem: at least not this way.

Thanks Paul Black. Yup no replies so I had given up. Further trials showed that the problem was not with WeChat alone but all other VOIPs (DingTalk, WhatsApp, Skype, ...). Spent hours with Microsoft...

My mic works well on every app, Facebook, Skype, Zoom etc. and if I look at the audio settings and test it there all works fine too. All apps that need the mic have been given permission including...

Thanks dolchina. I really Did not want to get into the details regarding the problem because it is long. Consider this. 7 Microsoft techs were consulted--3 upper lever, concerning the crashes with QR...

Will pending Windows 10 updates still exist once the hardware has been changed? Long story short if these driver updates get installed my windows will crash forcing me to reinstall W10 (have done so...

Thank you all. You've saved me worries, time and headaches. I did click on the 'thank you icon, I hope it worked. 1 final question--silly perhaps and self-answered but again I want to make sure. ...

OK thanks bro. Appreciate it. I had asked because the prompt suggested I write my actual key but I will follow your instructions. One last question if I may: will the upgrade be equal to a new...

Grr! I am angry. In reading some of the links above I can see where something went wrong. All of the updates etc. where while I was on the phone with a Microsoft tech. I had contacted Microsoft...

Thanks Bree n Paul. 1st you Bree. You wrote, "I don't understand why you ended up with Home." I ended up with Home because the installation media was taken from my laptop and not my desktop. I...
