Thanks for your helpful advice WXC, I appreciate it.
About my original question though, was my apparent fix to the Startup Apps menu sufficient? Should I do anything else to ensure it works...
I think you need a time-out to reflect on your oversensitivity.
I've given you rep points several times in the past, so I don't know why you're so adversarial.
My aunt gave it to her. My mom leaves town tomorrow afternoon and I have to work, so there is no time for me to do a clean install. I ran some SFC, DISM, Defender and Malwarebytes scans and...
Hello All.
My mom was gifted a used Dell laptop and she asked me to check it out and see if everything is in order. While checking the various settings, I noticed that the Startup Apps menu was...
Sorry about the belated response, but thank you for the tip Callender.
How impressive, doubling down on ineptitude.
Seriously.
I'm not asking if the threat was legitimate or not.
My issue is that Defender is stuck in Threat Alert mode and I can't clear it back to the No Current Threat (green check mark)...
Hello All.
I'm having an issue with MS Defender.
I always scan RAR files with MS Defender and Malwarebytes before unpacking. The other day, I scanned a RAR file and MS detected a trojan...
Hello All.
After a recent Edge update, a desktop search bar was activated. I opted to remove it, but I want to know how to turn it back on if I ever want to. Where is the setting or option for...
No, it does not.
I've tried several things but no dice.
Moving on, thanks for the help guys.
Hello all.
I have a USB soundbar (Dell AC511) hooked up to my laptop. It works fine but when the laptop is in sleep mode the soundbar stays on (the power indicator light is on and there is no...
Actually, off is the default.
Thanks for your interest and help.
The PowerShell script method worked for me, so I don't think I'll be needing to go through all that other stuff right now.
Perhaps sometime in the future you...
It just takes me to the Background settings page.
That would be great.
There is a method posted there that uses a PowerShell script. That doesn't seem so complicated.

Thanks pepanee. Your original post seems to be what I was looking for.
I just want to know where the wallpaper on my desktop is located through file explorer.
The first link you posted appears...
Hello again.
On my new laptop, a background picture that I sometimes use on my other laptop just appeared on the desktop. I assume it has something to do with OneDrive.
What I want to know is...
Slightly longer.
No big deal, I just thought someone would have been familiar with them.
Hello All.
I was scrolling through the Apps list when I noticed that the Photos App is greyed out (or darkened).
Why is this?
What should I do?
No, it doesn't.
There's nothing in the manual about these things. Actually, there's not much of a manual, just a short "Get Started" guide.
Also, I'm assuming it's for the AC adapter as it was in the same small...
Hello all.
The AC adapter for my new laptop came with these 2 metal things and some small screws. What is their purpose?
Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses, especially you Megahertz.
Now, I want to empathize the second part of my question.
Do you guys recommend that a novice like me undertake such a project?
If so,...
Hello All.
I found a good deal on a WD Green 960GB SN350 NVMe SSD. In the product description it reads "The slim M.2 2280 form factor allows for a quick and easy upgrade for any computer with an...
Sorry, I should have been clearer, but I was in a rush.
The screen does turn on and the background image can be seen but the login prompt/screen won't initialize.
Also, the pointer and mouse...
It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes after waking my laptop from sleep mode the login prompt won't show. I then have to manually turn the laptop off and on.
Anyone else ever have this...
