Thanks - that all seems to be in order. And i've got my nagging notice back when i open my Axxxxxxs@hotmail.com account in Firefox. But the problem remains. However, i think i know what's actually...

I have 2 email addresses.

I use Axxxxxxs@hotmail.com via outlook/firefox and I use Myname@hotmail.com via EmClient (occasionally via outlook/firefox just to check my spam folder on the server).

Thanks. There's a lot in post #10 to get my head around. One quick question: do i have to use windows restore or can i back up to macrium reflect (which i do every couple of days anyway)?

I think i've done this correctly. Here is the link

Could you possibly please confirm?

Thanks

I saw that, but the thread i started yesterday seems to have disappeared. Maybe it was considered as a duplicate?

Anyway, here's the link to the crash file.

Looking forward to any help that can...

Luck not so good :-( As it was a different app this time i made a crash file and uploaded it to the thread as advised.

I posted in this problem in the 'BSOD Crashes and...

Many thanks to both respondents. It was just the once in one app so i think i'll cross my fingers and hope it doesn't reoccur. If it does i'll deploy one or both methods, for which i have downloaded...

I've just had a blue screen crash with the above error code. Rather than seek help from microsoft i thought i'd ask here because i invariably find more help here. I don't know if it's hardware or...

So are you saying that if i uncheck the MWB register setting - as per Digmor Crusher's screenshot - that Defender and MWB Teams AV will work together?

Thanks for all the posts. I think TairikuOkami in particular nailed it. After some more research it seems that Defender AV conflicts with MWB Teams AV and Windows has happily acceded to it. Trying to...

I just had a notification that defender was turned off. In my real time protection settings the option to turn on is greyed out; it says "you're using other antivirus providers". Technically, i'm...

Firstly, thanks for the link for the free lifetime licence. It seems to work even though it says it expired in August. Interestingly, this installed version gives me a much higher score than the...

Yesterday, I connected the leads from my 'F' drive (reported as PERFECT for the last six days) to my SSD system drive and left the 'F' drive disconnected. All was well for 18 hrs including a couple...

This is what i get

Thanks again for taking the trouble. I'll investigate further. Any idea what the hardware problem might be? Cables? I have noticed before that the sata cable to my SSD only just reaches and at a...

Thanks for your reply. Here is a screenshot of the bootable USB - is it possible to say if i've built this correctly?

There is no Bootable Marvell 9230 SATAIII in BIOS -> Advanced -> Storage...

Nothing in Reliability history.

I've checked the disks' file systems and done a surface test using minitool. Nothing. I can't understand how to use memtest86. I have made a bootable usb, but when...

Sorry, I know the title doesn't give much of a clue.

I think it's only when i'm using FireFox and i thought i'd cured it a few weeks ago when i disabled the default browser agent. But it's back...

messaged here in error

I've run the bat file and taken the liberty of attaching the log file here. It's quite a small file; i hope this is OK.

Thanks very much for the reply. Of course, today my PC starts and restarts perfectly, so i'll bookmark this page in case it happens again the next 25 years!

FWIW, there was no "hibernate after" in...

Suddenly tonight when i attempt to shut down - using the normal method or alt + F4 - nothing happens. None of the options does anything when i select it. Never had this happen before and everything...

Thanks. On the first sfc /scannow run i got Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
Then I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and got The restore...

No - i changed the battery - i.e i replaced it with a new one.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Tonight when booting up it first stalled at the usual point - where it shows the date of the BIOS. At the third attempt it got past that...
