More or less - it all came down to permission/ownership and he whipped through it at a fair pace.

Hi Denis
I got the engineer who reinstalled Windows back in and asked him to thoroughly sort out my settings as they were before reinstallation. He has done this and (so far) all problems associated...

I'm sorry that was no help whatsoever

Hi Megahertz

Thank you but I'm afraid that tutorial is way to complicated for me to work through - there must be an easier solution. I agree that this is an ownership issue but as I have had to...

Good afternoon

I recently had to have Windows 10 reinstalled on my Acer laptop which fixed all my problems. The engineer replaced the HD and it the old HD which still contains all of my files is...

Hi

I'm delighted to report that the problem appears to be fixed. It would appear that the absence of Edge was the main culprit. You were also correct in that the install was KB50315. I installed...

Hi, the build is - Version22H2 (OS Build 19045.3448) and I am using Windows 10 Home.
I've attached a screenshop of the update history for 2023 - I'm hoping this will be enough.399385

Hi again. I've carried out some of the suggestions you have made as follows:

chkdsk C: /scan & SFC /SCANNOW - neither of which reported any problems

I have downloaded the trial version of Hard...

Hi Dalchina

Thank you for your help and advice. The sign in tutorial seems to have worked. As far as the Windows update is concerned, I only noticed it when I went to turn off my laptop so I...

Good afternoon all.

I am desperately seeking help with this annoying problem. My Windows 10 Acer V5 laptop has until last week booted into my account without requesting a password or pin - great....

Thanks for that - I'll give that a go and let you know how it goes.

- - - Updated - - -

It was, indeed, a synch issue and I have unsynched my old laptop. Things now appear to back(ish) to the...

Thanks for getting back to me. I think you may be right. It took some time to set up my laptop (Win11) with endless questions and options. I seem to recall a synch question and I may have said 'yes'...

Good afternoon.

I would appreciate help/advice with the following. I have recently bought a new laptop with Windows 11 and set it up correctly or so I believe. My old laptop is using Windows 10...

So am I - the next step involved taking a hammer to it, and I think I would have enjoyed that!!!

Last week I had some serious registry / profile problems that I simply couldn't fix. The general consensus from the various forums suggested a complete refresh but on the understanding that I would...

Hi Notnats. Thanks for your reply - I am using Win 10 Home Edition. I recently had to do a reset which I assumed would take me back to Win 8 (my laptop OS at the time of purchase) but it...

Unfortunately it was experimenting with Themes and Colours that created my problems. At one point I had black text on a black backround!!!! - Still I've managed to sort that but I had hoped that...

I've had several problems resetting Windows 10 over the past few days. Having almost sorted things out, I need to restore the default background theme and colours. I stupidly made some changes but...

I hope this isn't a daft query. I have an ACER laptop running Windows 10 which has had a registry / profile malfunction. Despite my best (but limited) efforts I have been unable to fix it and it has...

All of the above have been tried and to no avail. In fact, WMP won't play anything. I've just inserted a standard audio CD and it plays WITHOUT sound. I think this means I will have to look to third...

No that can't be right. There is more than enough RAM - I tried downloanding this fix on another PC and got exactly the same message. Incidentally, what is FWIW?

Hi

I'm delighted for you but it doesn't really help me. I also upgraded from Win 8.1

Hi

Having recently updated to Windows 10, I am astonished (annoyed) to discover Windows 10 does not play WMV video files, particularly those created using Windows Movie Maker. There doesn't seem...
