I get that, and if you are using just one OS, then that's fine. But for a multiboot choice, as well as the reasons I gave in my OP using method (b) which seems to be a universal method, as well as...

Yes! I'm well aware of the Media Creation Tool, thank you, but not the point of my post.

I didn't. That's what I used to download the Win10 ISO in the first place. I wasn't intending to use it to make a bootable USB drive. I've done that in the past. I didn't say I couldn't/didn't know...

My Mint Xfce runs perfectly fine on my PC on its own disk, with Windows 10 on a separate disk. All I'm seeing at the moment is your UEFI configured to boot to Windows. Also you said that you are...

Version Windows 10 v. 22H2

As this is a longish post, I'll start by saying I've made a number of Win10 USB installation drives successfully in the past and present. But I've encountered a few...

You did understand correctly, dalchina. That external (offline) rstrui command is recognised, and allowed me to proceed. But it still doesn't address the problem of why I'm now getting the message as...

I recently had cause to do a System Restore for Win10, when my PC failed to boot. I inserted my WinRE pendrive and booted to that and entered the Advanced Start screen and then the 'Troubleshoot'...

Not sure what response (if any) I'll get here. But before I go any further, this problem concerns those users who are Linux users as well as Windows users and have used Testdisk successfully. to...

Yes, that's another issue (BiB). I always make a restore point before an update. But each time I make one it often gets deleted after the update has taken place. That's been an ongoing nuisance for...

Thnx for response. I have error id no.20, - 0x8024001E and 0x800F080A, both of which refer to the cumulative .NET Framework update. It failed twice to install yesterday, but succeeded on my 3rd...

Why is it nearly every time an update has been due this year, after trying to download and install them there is always an error?

Once again I had to redo the latest set of updates, as first time...

I have the same problem. It started with the latest June update. On running Task Manager (which can take nearly 5 minutes to load) I see my CPU is running at 100% most of the time due to Windows...

I have tried to install Vmware Player 17.1, but I keep getting the msi error as shown below, saying it could not find the file:
vc_RuntimeMinimum_x86.msi.

This file does actually exist, but under...

I seem to have a number of .wim files (I know what .wim files are), eg edge.wim. I have 3 of these all the same size, but different dates they were created. They are using 337 MB in total. I don't...

Well after some fretting, in the end I found a way of upgrading from 20H2 to 21H2 easily enough, but not quite so painless, as it took what seemed like an absolute age to complete, when I was...

I have no idea what an 'enablement package' is, nor how/where to download it, nor does Microsoft tell me how to use it either, which is just typical of MS. I am not going to waste hours trying to...

OK. I had no idea that was the case, but that would explain it. I don't see any reference on my Win 10 update page that offers the option to upgrade to 21H2. 'Check For Updates' is supposed to show...

I haven't received any quality (cumulative) updates since the 11th May. The MSRT (KB 890830) comes through each month, as well as the regular Security Intelligence updates for Defender, but nothing...

It's not solved for me as I've had no updates for June either, other than the MRT and the usual day-to-day Defender security definitions. I've not touched any settings for updates, which have always...

Thanks. That solved it.

I first came across this issue with CCleaner when it asked me to close the Edge browser ( 99.0.1150.52) when I thought I already had done so. But further investigation showed that even when I appear...

It's supposed to be a brand new drive, bought off Amazon, so should hardly need cleaning. I only started testing it 2 days ago. I'm ruling out 'needs cleaning'. If it had been extensively used then...

I finally bought a new external USB DVD drive after weeks of trying to get my old internal DVD drive to read DVDs, but in the end it was no go.

With the new one there are a couple of issues, like...

I didn't realise that. I did a fair bit of reading around recently to try and find a fix, and did not see that mentioned before, although it would make sense to have 2 different lasers operating to...

I have a PC (about 10 years old) with a DVD drive that's not caused any issues until now. The past few weeks I've been unable to play DVDs, although audio CD's will play fine.

I tried cleaning the...
