Thanks Paul. That works. I had it on Better Performance. But I have always had it on better performance so that I can use safely remove device. Don't I need to do that anymore?

Hi all,

When I right click to eject usb stick safely it doesn't allow me to remove the flash drive but it opens up file explorer for the USB stick.
I can still eject it by opening up "This PC"...

That is what I have done. When I click on the pinned shortcut folder it opens up but with another yellow folder icon. On the other taskbar icons there is a line at the bottom of the icon to show that...

I've pinned the "downloads" folder to the taskbar as per instructions here but when I click on it it opens another icon in the taskbar next to the pinned icon I created. Is there any way of stopping...

The op says he's going to do a fresh install of 1903? Does he mean he's going to restore a previous image and then update again to 1903? I could do that too but there's no assurance that this will...

That’s what I was thinking of doing to just leaving it until the next update. It will either clear itself or Microsoft will announce that they cocked up and are fixing KB4507453 ����
thanks again

Thanks dalchina.
I've tried all the options, windows update troubleshooter came up with nothing, sfc nothing either.
I'm going to leave it and one day I'll re-install windows.
I also downloaded...

Hi dalchina,
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried solutions 1,2 and 3, the one you recommended to use instead of the original, which is a .bat file that deletes all the files in the...

I have been trying to install the above update for several days now but I still get this error message which doesn't seem to come up in google search except for deleting the files in...

Hi dalchina,
thanks for replying.
I have reset to Microsoft defaults and downloaded thunderbird for email.
I can now change the email button to thunderbird, but now I have another problem, even...

Hi folks,

I hope somebody can help me!

I have recently uninstalled Office 2007 as MS has stopped supporting/updating it.

I therefore installed LibreOffice for Word and Excel and use Google...

Hi Bree,

Thanks for your reply.
I worked that out myself awhile ago so I deleted the prefetch from the command line and it now works ok.
What I don't understand is that I added that switch over...

Hi folks,

Can someone please explain to me what http:///prefetch:1 is? Every time I load Internet Explorer 11 instead of getting the web pages I have as default, this comes up!
I need ie 11 to...

The same thing has happened to me. Thankfully I had a backup to restore to build 17134.1. I also tried downloading the update and installing it that way but it came up the same so I have given up for...

Checked and dumped!! :) Thanks again Brink.

Thanks Brink. You're a life saver. Very much appreciated :)
Can I now safely delete that profile?

The update seems to have installed fine, except, my default desktop and user folders don't open like they used to. It seems that the update has created a new user profile and is using that one...

It was my card. I just removed it from the MB as there wasn't any way of disabling it from the BIOS. It seems the integrated card was still working. So now I have a new FREE OS on my very old...

Thanks sn00ker. Card isn't compatible. I'll try and find a cheap card on ebay tomorrow. Need my sleep. :)

You're right sn00ker, it is an external card, that is what I meant to say in my previous post. And it probably isn't compatible with Windows 10. I guess I will just have to suffer with Windows 7 :)...

It's an internal PCI card sn00ker, and you're right Mark, AMD won't be releasing any Windows 10 drivers for my card. The latest update I have is 2009! I did uninstall the Radeon driver before I tried...

Maybe someone can push me in the right direction to a fix ? Or should I buy a new computer?

Today I decided to accept Microsoft's invitation to download and upgrade my windows 7 pro,...

Thanks guys. I thought the upgrade would just over-write the old IE 11 or delete it but you say it will still be there, then fine. All I have to do now is decide if I want to upgrade to Windows 10 or...

Hi folks,
Just joined this forum to ask a (probably) silly question: If I decide to upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29, will Internet Explorer be completely replaced also by Windows Edge? Or will IE...
