I can confirm that increasing the size of the Recovery partition leads to the successful installation of the update. I just want to add a link to the Microsoft Support page with detailed instructions...

That was not your question. You said, you don't get why people like 7 and gave examples where it's supposed to be lacking. You did not say a word about "modern devices". I explained why I like it and...

I don't have "show Cortana". I do have "show people", which I agree is useless to me, but I use that right-click menu on the taskbar so rarely, that I never cared to try changing it.

I can explain that. I was using Windows 7 for a long time, gave it up just a year ago. I never had any problems with drivers (everything just worked) so I would not know anything about "poor driver...

The PC market is driven by "gaming" - any hardware that is even a bit more powerful than something (rather poor, I must add) is nowadays called "gaming". Now, you can play games in the cloud, but...

I guess from the screenshot posted by the OP, the battery was made in 2015, making it 7 years old or so. Batteries degrade over time even if not used, and especially if the laptop is always plugged...

On one hand, since this is just a temporary file, I would also just delete it.

On the other hand, it would be nice to have a record of which program created a given file, temporary or not. So far,...

For me the script produces 192.168.2.215 IP address and 2003:f3:..... as the IPv6 address (too long to type). I'm not that well versed in the IPv6 addresses and so I'm not sure whether this is the...

Try3 Thanks for the detailed reply. My laptop's adapter is the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 MHz. There is also a Realtek USB-to-Ethernet adapter - the laptop does not have an Ethernet port, so if I want...

I am sure I've seen a discussion of this issue before, but I can't find it and therefore decided to start a new thread. I have a very annoying issue that after my laptop "sleeps" sometimes the...

In my experience (and frankly I never cared for help files, so I don't know anything about those) building a new machine and installing "old" software on it has never presented a problem. At the same...

Let me try one last time. Above you see two screenshots taken from this very thread while attempting to "insert pictures" into this very post. I did this by clicking the "insert...

Windows classifies files by "type" that is manifested by their extension. You can easily set a default program to open files of each type, in your case for .mp4 files. The only way I can think of...

This is where you are wrong. Windows is always the same. The changes to the GUI that people make may be different, but these changes do not change Windows. What you are showing us in you pictures are...

I'm sorry to say, but this post does not really improve on the previous, shorter post. When you try to "insert pictures on a website", your browser (regardless of the actual program) will open a...

Just to give OP the perspective, this is how my explorer looks like. The left panel ("the navigation Pane") is defined by various settings and is not affected by which folder I am looking...

The only thing that can prevent you from renaming said folder (just as any other folder) is the lack of permissions. If you are running an administrator account you can always take ownership of the...

Finally, you need to determine what exactly is the purpose of this"'securing Windows". Most of the telemetry is just that, telemetry, not related to any kind of personal data. Where do you buy your...

Moreover, simply configuring your firewall to deny internet access to processes and services you think are spying on you will do the trick. Now, this is dangerous since most of these things are...

Why not just to add said IPs to your hosts file?

I have an old iPad and I absolutely hate the thing. There are some features that can actually be useful to me, so I am thinking about buying a new iPad Pro, but it's a lot of money, the interface is...

Do you still have that Windows 7 license key? Then you can use it to upgrade your new laptop to Pro. The way to go about it, is first to disconnect from the internet and upgrade Windows using the...

On my Windows 10, I have Realtek drivers and I do not have Realtek Console, so obviously one thing is independent from another making your statement incorrect.

Now, personal preference is a...

Windows 10 start menu is a disastrous mess (and even more so in 11), which looks like it was created by several developer teams in parallel without any communication. Somehow "store apps" are treated...

I know that was not the topic, but I stopped using ink-based printers a while ago. For me the main issue was always that I'm printing too infrequently (not more than a couple of pages a day on...
