I seem to have managed to get my installation of OneDrive in a state I don't recognize. If I open OneDrive from the tray, it normally will say it is syncing files and shows the names of files...

I have been a sometime-system builder for decades. I have old Windows product keys (Win 7, 8.1) that have been on the shelf for years. Is there a way to test if they are still valid or not? I'm...

The audio I want to compress is what I am receiving from a stream. I'm not doing anything related to broadcasting, although, it is interesting to discover the existence of broadcasting software.
...

Can anyone think of a way for me to add audio compression (or "leveling") to what I am hearing from a YouTube video that I am streaming? (It's live broadcast.)

Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (19042.985)

I am on a local account, so that feature was grayed out. However, I logged in so I could turn it off, then logged in locally again. The problem reoccurred.

I noticed that the problem seems to just...

I have tried everything I can think of to get my desktop to shuffle through a folder of pictures, including a 3rd party app. At the moment I am just trying to get rid of one photo that keeps coming...

V2 Log a few days after installing the new CPU.

When you have eliminated the possible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I replaced the CPU and all the problems I was having are gone now.

Thanks for those links. I had wanted to update the firmware for both my drives. Yesterday I updated the firmware for both my NVMe and regular SSD. This morning I got a blue screen that stayed stuck...

Since my last post, I have had 3 instant reboots, but no blue screens. Below is a link to the V2 dump after booting up from the most recent one. I'm not sure this will be of any use, though, since...

ricardobohner, that works! Hence, UAC "Never notify" isn't the same as UAC "off." I'm marking the thread as answered, even though I still don't know how the system knows my .DMP file was a system...

ricardobohner, all the folders and the file are read-only to Users. Full control for administrators, of which I am one. (It's the only login for the computer.)

@Hermitt43, yes, it is always...

Good idea, but it didn't work. I also tried to get a File Explorer running with Administrative privileges every way I could think of. In all cases, the Task Manager -> Details showed the process with...

This snapshot of the root directory and the subdirectories involved should make my situation more clear. My login owns everything. The security access list is the same for C:\, C:\TEMP, C:\TEMP\Debug...

Ah, sorry I didn't think of that. I did assume that it must collect that data. I've used the computer for 8ish hours since the instant reboot. If that has made the data less than ideal, I can upload...

AddRAM, for the new install, yes.


Aha, this is what info I was looking for. I have attached a snapshot from Disk Management. I do not know what is actually kept in "System Image," "EFI System...

Once again I got an instant reboot; that is, I am using my computer without doing anything in particular (sometimes I am not even at my computer) and the screen goes black and a few moments later I...

Yes, that is what I did to fix the annoyance. But why was it in the boot list in the first place? There is no \Windows\ Folder on the other drive, for example.

I've had to reinstall Windows 10 Pro from scratch onto my main storage device (an NVMe drive) a number of times in recent months. One annoyance is that sometimes when booting it gives me a choice of...

The file owner is not SYSTEM. It is my personal account.

My Windows 10 Pro v1909 (18363.657) PC created a memory dump file as the result of a BSoD. After rebooting, File Explorer showed a blank for its owner. I TAKEOWNed the file so my personal account...

A little confused about the chip identifier in that report. My mobo handbook says my Realtek LAN chip is an 8111H. Unfortunately, the chip I assume to be the LAN chip has a metal cap over it, so I...

Ah, ok. I've spent days running all the tests from the link. No problems, except when I tried to install Sandboxie. (I still need to know where you think SbieDrv.sys exists to be able to remove it.)...

SbieDrv.sys was not a file on my computer nor was it in my registry. I tried to install Sandboxie, but it failed, presumably because of driver checking. It left an entry in Programs & Features, so I...

I switched from a AMD RADEON Rx 580 to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card last week and the frequency of crashes dropped significantly. My (kernel) dumps are annoyingly big (2.4G), but I...
