Thanks, I've tried this tool as suggested, but it only finds other devices on the network, not my desktop machine. It finds the laptop and my old tablet. What's the master browser all about?
Hi Denis,
Thanks for your help with this.
Yes I am able to access my shares by using \\ALEX-DESKTOP (the name of my desktop PC) even though it is not showing in Network Places, so as you say I...
Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Windows 10 (latest version) PC that I cannot solve. Or can half solve before it goes back to not working again after a reboot. Let me explain.
The desktop PC I...
Dalchina, thanks for the fast reply and for confirming the settings for the Balanced profile.
I've never actually seen the restore default settings option at the bottom so thanks for pointing...
Hi,
I run my desktop PC on the "Balanced" power profile, which is the Windows default and I have never changed it, but I was just looking in the detailed settings for the profile and noticed that...
I've got a very annoying problem which has only started in the last few weeks, and also, it's not every time.
I always hibernate my Windows 10 PC, and only restart if I need to do updates or...
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I can ping each PC by the IP and by name, that seems to work just fine. I've got shares set up, they are just folders I've made and then done the right click > properties...
I've got a Windows 10 desktop PC and a Windows 10 laptop, both running the same (latest) version of Windows 10. They are running through the same router and both on the same workgroup ID.
I want...
Thanks for the replies!
Interesting that the program ignores the schedule for SSD, I didn't know that.
With regards to the bit about only analysing the drives, and just optimising them when...
Has anyone else noticed an issue whereby the Windows Defrag & Optimiser Drive app has stopped optimising their SSD by trim? I have it set to optimise weekly but I opened it the other day and it said...
Thanks for all the very helpful advice.
I've now got my partition config sorted by using that really helpful Minitool Partition Wizard program:
256GB C (my current Windows 10 install)
100GB D...
It is GPT, is there anything I need to do?
Hi @NavyLCDR,
Thanks very much for these suggestions, and also to Samuria above.
I had thought about a Virtual Machine but I would prefer to run it on the actual hardware.
I didn't know...
Thanks for the super-quick reply! I'll take a look.
Hi,
I've got a question about my Windows 10 Home laptop. I don't use it as much now but I thought about a scenario where I can install another copy of Windows 10 on a new partition (it's a 1tb...
One thing that really bugs me about Windows Update from Windows 10 and beyond is the inability to select which updates you want to install and not with checkboxes and the ability to hide updates,...
Thanks, I didn't know about the logs being stored in the System Volume Information, I always struggle to find them in Event Viewer when looking.
CHKDSK /R takes a very long time, but CHKDSK /F shouldn't take more than a few minutes unless it's finding problems that it needs to fix. CHKDSK /R can take hours upon hours.
Have you gone into...
This isn't a massive problem as such, but I suppose it does fit in under "performance" and it's a little bit of an annoyance and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions.
I did a total upgrade of...
Thanks for the replies.
I've got the RAM upgraded to 8GB now, and the SSD cloned and fitted. It is like a completely different laptop now (it'd be even faster/better if I was able to do a clean...
You're right, the patience paid off in the end but it must have taken over an hour and a half to do system restore, sat on the "initializing" message for most of it.
Windows successfully restored...
Thank you for your fast reply.
The system is a 64-bit version of Windows. It has 3GB RAM, with 2.7GB usable. The max it can take is 8GB, so I'd ordered 2x4GB modules which should be compatible....
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me as I'm a bit lost with this one.
A friend whos laptop I've done some maintenance on has given me another of his friends to do much the same - including...
@dalchina
Excellent, just what I was looking for, I'll run that command to check the status of the compression and see what it says.
Thanks
