There's almost never anything unusual going on at the time. I was wrong earlier ... it doesn't say 'preparing to delete', it says 'preparing to recycle'.

It does it even if it's a single small text file, or a hundred files, or anything in between. Sometimes I'll delete 1000 files at once and it doesn't do it and they just instantly delete. That's...

Win 10 Home (22H2)
Can someone tell me why this happens? Occasionally, when I delete something, this dialog pops up and there will be a 10 to 15 sec delay before...
Amen to that. I'll create a macrium image ASAP.
Btw, I even resolved the GamePass not installing to other partitions issue. It was a permissions problem. I formatted the desired partition, and...
Yes, I've done everything on that Appuals list. I remember deleting the Software Dist folder in the past, was no help.
I also tried (and forgot to mention) resetting Win Update in the past.

I did that full list in the tutorial, including the registry edit. No change.
The troubleshooter reported that UAC was turned off (true, it annoys me) and said that Store apps require it on to...
Hi Dalchina. Thanks for your reply!
I have not done Part Two of that tutorial. I will try that today.
VPN or Proxy: none
DNS: not sure if it's the same. but the problem persists on any DNS...
Hi. I'm using Win10 21H2. all latest updates.
My Microsoft Store app, (also applies to Xbox GamePass for PC), has an issue where when I attempt to download any app or game, it gets stuck on...
Thanks for the tip. I've added that and Emco Unlockit to my repertoire. :) I like anything that gives the end user more control.
I use PowerRun, by Sordum.org. A simple, portable tool to give you a CMD prompt with SYSTEM privileges. It makes it so you don't need to mess with obtaining permissions. It has been working great for...
I found the culprit
I had removed the folder yesterday afternoon, and noticed that it was back this morning. The folder was created at 8:31PM last night, and I thought back to what I was doing at...
The only one I have is 7-zip, which I've used for many years, but this behavior is recent.
AndreTen, thanks i'll take a look at FolderChangesView
James, it's actually a folder, rather than a zipped file. I inserted a screenshot above to show this.
The folder is always empty. No files in it, including no system or hidden files. Some...

Every few days or so, some application is creating a folder in My Docs called '_UNZIP'
How can I go about determining what is creating this folder? If I delete it, it...
Thanks, but it seems to be ok now. I ran SFC and it found corrupt system files and said it repaired them. I can now d&d normally again.
Edit: fixed with an SFC scan.

Worked yesterday, went to bed, woke up ... and now I can no longer drag & drop to anything except from explorer to explorer.
For example, i open...
The solution I found was to use Find And Run Robot (FARR), which I already had installed. I discovered it has a feature to double as a windows runbox. It opens center-screen, and has the added...
Thanks. I have AHK, so I may do that, but was hoping for a native solution, e.g. a registry edit.
looked on the AWM site, and they want $50 for that.

Normally it opens in the bottom left corner of the screen. I'd like to have it open dead center of the screen.
Brink, that worked. I was able to create the Admin account and login. however, upon entering, I could see the hackers had disabled a lot of functionality (e.g. could not open the start menu or...
Hi, my neighbor's Lenovo desktop PC has apparently been hacked. He's locked out of the desktop. His MS account password does not work. I'm seeing odd behavior on the login screen. e.g. instead of...
Thanks for all the attempted help. Nothing worked. I finally got through to Spectrum and they believe the modem is faulty. I'll be switching it out tomorrow.
I have an Arris cable modem from Spectrum. It has 4 ethernet out ports. For many months i've been running two ethernet cables out from it, 1 directly to my PC 3 feet away, and one to the router for...
Thanks, ram1220. I'm not where I can try your suggestion at the moment, but look forward to trying it this evening. I'll report back.

ram1220 thanks for the suggestion,...
I have a Docsis 3.0 motorola modem (provided by Spectrum). If I connect the ethernet from the modem direct to my PC, i immediately get full bandwidth, 120 Mbps, on all speedtests (fast.com etc)....
