I followed the instructions and all it did was delete everything out of the $RECYCLE.BIN directory. I suspected that would happen given that the command being executed is "rd". The "without losing...

The D: drive is not external - it's an internal HDD connected via SATA inside my desktop PC. It's a non-boot drive I use only for storage.

I understand the concept...

I never hold down shift when I delete things. I though of defragging it but apparently Windows is already doing that on a schedule and reports the drive as being 0% fragmented.

Also see my edit...

I have an odd problem with a secondary HDD on my PC: Windows doesn't seem to always give me credit for deleting files. Yesterday I was unable to extract a downloaded archive due to lack of space on...

OK, I see that now. But I don't see anything in the Recycle Bin properties that would explain why I need to provide admin permission to delete files/folders from the D: drive (at which point they are...

The maximum specified size of my recycle bin is much larger than its current contents, so I don't think that's the issue.

Also the recycle bin is common to all drives, so that wouldn't explain why...

Thanks for the tip, but when I look at that for a folder on my D drive that exhibits the behavior described in my prior post (admin permission required to delete files, plus files are permanently...

I have a secondary hard drive that requires admin permission to delete files. Whenever I try to delete a file, I get a popup that says:

"Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle...

Thanks, enabling wake timers fixed my problem.

I created a scheduled task that is supposed to run at 6 AM everyday. The computer is a desktop running Windows 10 21H1 (OS Build 19043.2130) and will be asleep during this time. I have the following...

I can try it, but based on what I'm reading elsewhere, all that setting does is specify whether Windows can individually put USB ports to sleep (enabled), or whether it must put either all ports to...

The only option under that section, "USB selective suspend setting", is set to Enabled.

When my PC is asleep, pressing a key on the keyboard or pressing a mouse button no longer wakes it - I have to press the power button.

I've already verified in Device Manager that both the mouse...

Thanks for the link, but that doesn't answer my question. I already know how to schedule the night light. My issue is that it doesn't always turn on as scheduled.

I have the Night light (i.e. blue light filter) set to turn on automatically at 10 PM. I have found that it frequently doesn't turn on as scheduled. What's strange is that if I open the Night light...

I am running an FTP server on my Android phone and am able to connect to it by entering the address in the address bar of Windows Explorer. When I right click a file or folder on the FTP server from...

It seems to be working correctly now. It must have been something on Microsoft's end.

Thanks for the update. I figured it must be something on their end.

No luck unfortunately. When I log back in all keys are still listed.

It still doesn't seem to be working. Here is the first screen I see:

If I click the "Delete" link next to one of the keys, I then see this screen:

My windows version number is: 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1706).

This problem is more related to OneDrive than Windows itself, but I'm not sure where else to post the question. The Windows community...

The theory here is that the each PC's TPM chip provides a unique hash/signature that is used to encrypt the main drive, thus ensuring that drive cannot be read by any other computer, correct? Meaning...

Just to clarify, when you use the term "password" here, do you really mean PIN? I currently use a numeric PIN to unlock my OS boot drive. I don't recall seeing an option to specify a full...

I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1706) and my TPM-equipped PC has 2 drives: a primary boot SSD and a storage HDD. The SSD is currently encrypted with BitLocker. When I power...
