Good that you've not lost data and were able to deal with the 'foreign' status.

Theoretically it should be possible to move storage spaces between PCs - in practice it seems not so reliable.

Nothing more can be said.

History please:
1. Has this Win 10 installation EVER been activated?
2. If not, have you recently tried to upgrade from Win 7 or 8.1?
3. Or have you, for example, clean installed Win 10 and then...

This is well known.. in general.

Unfortunately that's correct. Simply search tenforums for the few storage spaces threads...and you'll get that impression.

Did your problem perhaps occur after upgrading to Win 11, or a feature...

You could download it on another PC, upload it somewhere, then download it...

You can certainly try an in-place upgrade repair install using an iso file (Tutorial available).

Whether it will help...you can only try. That the problem is present on a new account supports...

:thumbsup:

I understand, but can offer no advice on that.

Do you have a disk image created before this problem occurred? If so you could compare the certificates stored.

(The routine use of disk imaging...

Out of curiosity, is there any differencce if you use Safe Mode with Networking for example?

See e.g.
windows 10 - INetCache/IE folder contains an incredible amount of files and consumes a lot of disk space? - Super User

-> practical ways to clear it. Plus explains its use.

Curious- my INETCACHE folder is under 4MB..

Unfortunately not even Qttabbar (which can change the background of probably all other explorer-rendered panes and field including the background of file explorer) affects this.

Nothing should have changed. there are several means of controlling WU.

If you have Pro, you can use Group Policy to set updates to Notify. Clean and simple.

Target feature update (tutorial...

And thank you for your reply. You seem to be repeating the problem.


Please see my post #4 - have you not read that?

That explains how to extend the 30 days. Thank you.

Hi Shawn, Les Ferch has developed a script to extend the 30 day timeout on setting specific sites to be opened in IE mode (shown at the bottom of this)

E.g.
Add URL for more than 30 days...

Thank you.


Wouldn't you be better choosing this?

** This discussion presents ways of extending the 30 day timeout:...

Please explain more clearly. That seems to suggest you have a page displayed in Edge in which there is a URL or hyperlink, which, when clicked on, opens that page in IE.

Is that what you mean?

...

Why not just use Win key + e to open another instance?

Check free disk space, resource usage.

Depends what's slow.

If it's internet access-related, (e.g. browser) that's another matter entirely.

It is very unlikely the above replies will help, unfortunately.

The red message in the screenshot indicates there's a registry setting equivalent to a group policy that is set.

That's your...

Could you clarify that please?

Did you boot from a bootable Win 10 disk and via Repair your computer to Advanced Startup and so to System Restore?
(You'd need the appropriate password).

Else...

Seems you missed clicking the link from that tutorial to this one and this option in the second tutorial:

I asked about the Hosts file in #7 - unfortunately no response to that.
