What's worse is that if your WinRE volume is to the RIGHT of your Windows volume -- or if you don't even have a WinRE volume -- their instructions won't work, and you'll have no idea why. Make no...

How would it be an issue is they had physical access? I know the password is stored in the registry (although, at least if netplwiz is used, not in plaintext). But it's in HKLM. And the PC would be...

I found the issue; I had a scheduled task that used NirCmd to turn the monitor off automatically whenever the PC was locked. Somehow, it was causing the PC to lock but not turn the monitor off. Not...

I set it to 0 and rebooted. Now, the same thing still happens twice.
The first time the lock screen appears, I have dismiss it and enter my password (as expected).
The second time the lock screen...

Yeah, apparantly I had set it to 305 seconds a long time ago. Would this be the reason?

As soon as I followed the steps (option 1) outlined here, I found that hitting Win+L would make my system lock around every 5 seconds. I know how stupid that sounds, but that's what happens. I can...

Well, increasing the size of the recovery partition is a bit of a problem if you don't even have one and don't want to create one, which was the whole point of this thread.

I'm trying to hide the KB5034441 update that keeps erroring out even though it doesn't belong on my system in the first place, but when I run the troubleshooter and click "Next", it simply says...

Thank you for pointing me to this. So if they ever get their act together, I'll simply stop being offered the update (which I know I can hide now).

The time and stress they've cost users over this...

The WinRE partition is definitely not there. This is what I'm showing as far as the reagentc /info command:


>reagentc /info

Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset...

Thanks. I was considering doing a repair install for other reasons, which is why I asked. If I could kill two birds with one stone, I will. I just don't want to do a repair install if the MCT or...

Like many Win10 users, I am getting the 0x80070643 error when I try installing the KB5034441 update. The claim everyone makes is that this is due to the WinRE volume not having enough space. But I...

I'm a little crazy, so I wrote a command script that makes it easy to find the .NET Framework version number:


@echo off & cls & setlocal

:: This script obtains a .NET Framework version...

Oops, I had been following old/bad advice and checking the installed .NET Framework versions using the command:

dir /b C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v*

Which was coming back with:
...

OK, that's enough responses, I'm good. Thank you.

There is no such thing as .NET Framework 8. All I'm saying is that if I'm going to install a newer version of .NET, I'd rather get one that is much newer. It only makes sense. I just need to...

I'm running Win10 22H2. The latest .NET Framework version I have installed is 4.0. I'm wanting to install an application that requires .NET 4.6 or later.

So I'm thinking, with .NET 8.0 right...

Ah, Windows. We've had some hard times. So very many struggle sessions.

Sometimes you would refuse to update, for no apparent reason.

Remember that time you refused to let me edit scheduled...

I installed Zorin Pro (Linux) this past weekend, and have not been able to run Win10 ever since. Every time I try booting Win10, I get a BSOD during boot. One time, I got to the login screen, and...

Yeah, I know how to search. I wasted my time on EitherMouse just now, and it has no acceleration function.

If you have no idea, please don't reply.

Actually, never mind. I'm not even going to...

I'm running Win10 21H2 and have a decent mouse (a Contour Unimouse) that offers a 1,000 Hz polling rate and 2,800 DPI, but I want acceleration applied to the mouse cursor.

Disabling "Enhance...

It's not really solved, though. I just stopped caring, LOL.

It never displayed a "currently unavailable" message. I had a PIN assigned, it just would not work for login. It worked for unlocking.

They're not even really "PINs" because "N" stands for...

There is no other device. There is only my Windows 10 PC.

I started with a local account and it had a password and PIN. For a long time, I only ever used the PIN (i.e. for login and unlocking).
...

Correct.

And the message displayed was not even accurate--at no point had my password changed, and no "different device" was ever used. None of this made sense.
