Thanks a lot. Yes, I'm using Onedrive. I'll try these steps.
I noticed a command prompt window (or more than one?) flashes open at Windows startup, but then it closes and a conhost.exe process remains in Task Manager.
I hope this is normal and it is not...
That worked like a charm on both my Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 home PCs. Thanks!

The command "systeminfo | find "Original Install Date" shows the time Windows was last upgraded. Any way to know when Windows 10 was installed?
Any help much appreciated.
Very good answers as always. Added some to my toolkit.
Thanks. I guess those commands save space but won't fix issues, right?
As a repair tech, I’m used to using CCleaner, Glary utilities, Malwarebytes, etc to troubleshoot PC issues (just the free versions). I never clean the registry as I think it’s useless.
I always...
Super thanks, great answer.

My son uses Windows 7 in dual-boot with Windows 10. I know Microsoft is not securing it any more, so my concern is that having a PC on the same network as our other PCs and devices may put all the...
well, I was thinking of the situations I described, windows update replacing drivers with buggy ones. I've been hit by this before.
other examples:

Sometimes a Windows update installs a new “buggy” driver for a device. So one of the steps I may try (after trying the typical steps, some of them listed below)…is to try installing an older version...
Many thanks for that!. I compared the drivers on both scenarios for trackpad and mouse as a test, they turned out to be the same btw. This is a good method. I always back up drivers like you...
I’ve really welcome any clarification to be used when troubleshooting driver issues in Windows 10.
My idea is that the drivers used by Windows during boot are different to the ones used by...
..Thanks for your answer and for the valuable information, just to add some info: when you reset, you're given the option to install from the files in the recovery partition or download and install....
I have a habit of using the Windows Installation Media USB stick to reinstall windows as I think it’s the most thorough solution to “nuke and pave” Windows.
I wonder if resetting and choosing...
Thanks, that fixed it! I added the credentials for an admin local account for the target computer in Credential Manager in the source computer. I'm not getting the damned Username and Password...
I have it on private. By what I know, yes, it should be on private, not sure if it's a requirement, but it's at least recommended.
Just to get some opinions. I try to use Windows Storage Sense and other manual tweaks and avoid PC cleaning apps.

When I need to install or reinstall Windows in a PC, I have the habit of wiping and doing the installer again on a USB stick, I mean: even if the Windows version for the installer is the same, such...
It's on Private, thank you. I've reset permissions with Tweaking.com to no avail. I'll try restoring a point and then do an in-place upgrade and then reinstall windows, no problem guys, Super...

I’m sharing files between my desktop and laptop, both on the latest version of Windows 10.
Everything was working fine yesterday, but now I’m being prompted for credentials when I try to access a...
I really appreciate those tips that I loved to learn. However, I still have no answer to my question, if that file is protected you cannot write it, why does the ACE show it as having "write"...
