NirSoft is a trusted source of dozens of useful utilities for over a decade. My personal favorites are his NirCmd, Task Scheduler and Wireless Network Watcher used on every computer I own. I'm a...

Windows 10.0.19041.985 2004. Updates are disabled. I noticed after plugging in USB DVD drive that my popup dialogs have moved too far down as to make them barely readable.

My Windows Version is 10.0.19041.985, updates are disabled and I am able to connect my Android 10 phone without loading external drivers.

Long story short, no you shouldn't be worried about transferring files via unencrypted FTP across your LAN if you are using WPA2 WIFI encryption.

I used to FTP from my PC to my Android phone back...

The routers I've tested with over the years (Netgear, D-link, Actiontec) all saved the full configuration including port forwarding rules. The only way to be sure is to do what I did - backup the...

+1 for AIMP which I've used for over a decade when I had Windows XP and still use it today to play my audio streams. The same streaming playlist on Windows plays just fine on the Android version of...

SHOUTcast - Home

Most FM radio stations allow you to listen online on their websites. I too prefer listening online because some FM stations have poor reception but are crystal clear on the...

Sure I'll download and install an app from someone who just joined with no rep.

/sarcasm

Plenty of other apps that already do this. So many scammers, so little time.

One of my absolute favorite features of Windows 10 is Web Browser pinch-to-zoom, something that I as a person of a certain age consider an absolute must for web browsing on tiny smart phone screens....

The GUI never bothered me. It was the new start menu. Fortunately OpenShell allows you to customize its start menu so you can add/remove items and alter its appearance to mimic older Windows OSes....

Defender was disabled before I even started this thread along with updates.

Thanks TairikuOkami! It worked! I thought I was going have to live with that constant nag. I hit all the search engines but produced no useful results. You're a Rock Star!

Thanks - I just tried Defender Control, added it to exclusion list, rebooted but still get nagged.

Grrrrrr at Microsoft. Incidentally, the tool doesn't...

Windows 10 Home 10.0.19041.985 x64 - I have disabled notifications for security and other apps. I have disabled Windows Defender for performance reasons. I am an advanced user, have NEVER used...

The last time I worked with LapLink was with MS-DOS. I still have my yellow parallel and blue serial transfer cables somewhere.


RichCopy is actually a GUI wrapper for Robocopy.

I will be purchasing another USB HDD but I won't be using to shuttle data, only for backups/imaging. Copying 325 GB to the external USB then copying back to the new PC takes twice as long as...

Can't - the external USB I use is 75% full and I need the space because I plan to make an image of the new laptop before I even boot into the OS. After I'm done configuring/installing all my...

Well I decided to run some benchmarks to see what speeds I would get. The results were disappointing. I connected 2 Windows 7 x64 laptops (the Windows 10 laptop is due to arrive tomorrow) via my...

Thanks - I am a power user so command line is what I plan to use. I still would like to know if Robocopy is indeed the fastest way or is there something faster? Are my file/folder attributes...

Title says it all. I have an old Windows 7 laptop with 325 GB of data I want to copy to a newer Windows 10 Home laptop. Both have Gigabyte ethernet (I have an ethernet crossover cable). I've used...

You should start Miracast before you start Youtube to mirror your desktop to your TV then you should see Youtube on your TV. I'm at work right now so can't test it. Doesn't your TV have a Youtube...

Since you don't want to follow the advice given this is the only appropriate reply:

I don't so much favor touchpad as mostly gotten used to it. Would rather plug in USB mouse but that's not always practical on some surfaces.

According to the instructions on the vendor's website when you connect the Anycast dongle to your TV and select the correct HDMI input it should show a screen similar to this:
