Just wanted to provide another data point, I recently did an update while on winver 1809 and one of the cumulative updates changed my micro sdcard icon to the strange one. I downloaded the 1909 iso...

Oops, manually downloaded this update and installed without problems. Wasn't offered this after .437 was offered today. Hadn't been on windows in a while though.

Hi,

Are you using spybot antibeacon to modify & protect your host files from making any changes upon reboot?

Just a thought, since you have a laptop, there is the F7 key (on my laptop keyboard at least) that has an icon with laptop and monitor iconograph. Did you by any chance hit that key by mistake and...

Ok, restart laptop to boot menu, click on change default or choose other option. Then on 2nd menu, click on choose other options. On 3rd menu, click on troubleshoot. On 4th and last menu, click on...

Hi,

What happens when you click on change defaults or choose other options (bottom of boot menu) > Advanced > boot from uefi? Does that get you into the bios?

Hmm, this is good to know. The last boot media I created manually with macrium was using PE v1803. Haven't downloaded the 1809 adk files yet to create that version. 1803 works great with the split...

Hi,

To answer your questions:
1. That is your recovery partition, essential if you want to be able to reset windows if you run into any major problems. Even better would be to download macrium...

I see pid 3244 has n/a for one of the svchost.exe running. But that was all I can see from the cmd output you posted. Glad you sorted your issue out though.

Hi, when you get your newly refurbished computer, might I suggest that you download and use Macrium Reflect on another working computer and create a bootable usb flash drive to image your newly...

Open cmd prompt and type
tasklist /svc.
What does that show for the svhost.exe entries that's not listed?

EDIT: Here's an even better command in the cmd prompt:

Just one question: would I need to purchase multiple copies of windows for each child vm other than the parent vm?

Thanks Kari, I learned something new from your video. :-)

Currently running version 5.35 of CCleaner, when installing on a clean installed system, I make sure internet connectivity is disabled temporarily. That gives me time to rename ccleanerupdater.exe to...

Hi, you will need to have at least 8GB free on your main drive, plus a 32GB USB stick to use as scratch space to upgrade or clean install windows. Also make sure the USB stick has a copy of the ISO...

Tbeloyal,
Please understand, I'm not trying to throw you off your issues. I just think it may play into why you are unable to recover your MS account. Let's try another tack; can you log into your...

The bigger question is if the system was purchased with a legit copy of Windows 7, wouldn't the Windows 10 upgrade activate automatically using the Windows 7 key? Since Windows 10 isn't currently...

Could it be that the OP has a computer or laptop with say, a 32GB emmc disk? That could be why he hasn't updated in so long.

Hi Blaq, Can you do
sudo su on the NAS to gain root access? If yes, then immediately type
passwd root and enter your new password.

:thumbsup: Glad you got it sorted.

Also, you can drag the host file to the desktop, edit it, and save it back to the desktop. Then drag it back to the original location. You will get a UAC prompt to drop it back, click yes and it...
