    Desktop file 'gone'


    After the latest updates (2 days ago) I got the message that backing up & synchronizing in Edge is no longer possible because the map Desktop cannot be traced, and would I be so kind to "Search or Stop synchronizing." A Search only results in "Desktop - This map is empty". But I still have my Directory, and my start up Desktop image with the shortcuts. I just want backing up / synchronizing back...

    Gordon7, I'm not sure if I understand this. I have to delete a hibernate file? I never work with hibernation/sleepmode, I log out and log in... Okay , I'll fill in all the specifics but have look up most of them and right now I can't. I'll put the post up again in a few days.

    Open a Command Window and enter powercfg /hibernate off.

    bro67,
    This is unknown territory for me... OK, I prompted powercfg, the command immediately closed after enter, no confirmation, no file, no Windows directory overview. I mean, when I type 'regedit', the Registry opens. (And that's the only command I ever used so far.) So I hope I did correct.

    When command prompt (admin) opens, type- powercfg.exe /hibernate off to turn hibernation off. To clear the hiberfil.sys file, type powercfg -h off

    @mrgeek,
    When regedit opens, I can't type in anything. Except in the key files, I know I can make certain changes in those keys. But which HKEY and subsection do I need to make this change? I've searched, but can't find 'powercfg'.

    My brain fart You type these in a command prompt or Windows powershell ... duuuhh
    Hit Win key+X and choose whichever is in menu (Admin)
    Reading post 1, I'm not sure this will fix your initial issue but the hibersys.file can get corrupted and cause problems at startup. I turn this off on all computers I service so Sleep and Shut Down are the only options.

    Ok, I did. But I can't enter the prompt! Is that normal? I decided to simply click it shut.
