Intriguing.. looks like it was connected by different means although on the same hub on the two occasions?

Thanks. One with e.g. Minitool Partition Wizard e.g. would be helpful as that shows more details and the 16MB partition hidden by Disk Management. Looks like your last partition is the current...

Your partition details (see posts above) will help a lot.

Note too that there are reports that the EFI partition must be at least 400MB - whilst that will only be 100MB on many....

AI is here... and the response is polite, appropriate, but a tad generic. However, it does offer easy continuity (i.e. you don't have to repeat the terms of the original search) and suggests you...

FWIW - my experience of 3 drives to which I have assigned letters late in the alphabet (so the letter isn't used by anything else) - 2 used on 1 laptop, 1 on another as backup drives. The two I use...

My comment about the 10 minute repeat actually related to the absence of any sign of repetition on mine.

I'm wondering if on yours if the 10 minute timeout on idle is triggered when the Start Menu...

Yes/ Yes

No.

Note: there is one aspect this does not cover- to automatically minimise a program to the tray on startup.

To do that you'd need a different program - e.g. Actual Window...

And thank you very much for all of this.

As to whether programs start- look for the options as usual.

Look at my screenshots- then if you read my post you will see how to minimise a program to...

Thanks for your reply.


Seems that version has been withdrawn- no doubt somewhere there's a download.. anyway, I've retrieved this from my other laptop for you, uploaded it to Dropbox as I can't...

Hi, you might try the
Default Programs Editor (free).
Default Programs Editor

Very useful - does the above and more.

1. Point is an alert on a drive beginning to fail (degrading)
2. If the drive is a data drive, SMART params could still be read
3. If the system drive catastrophically fails- well, who needs an...

Isn't it simply reading the SMART parameters?
How much load/wear is that???

Disk imaging should be regular and routine.
Note that the very act of creating a disk image can detect incipient disk failure or corruption (at least with Macrium Reflect it does).
So that in...

And thank you for your clarification.

Then note that it does not run repeatedly on mine.

There will be some cause specific to your PC.

I suggest you simply don't bother about the SM...
