I was about to try your suggestion before I realized I had a second hard drive in my hotswap dock. When I removed it, the safe to remove balloon reappeared, and has several times since. I have no...
Version 1903, OS build 18362.720
This problem seems to come around every once in a while, and it's mystery that seems designed to infuriate users. One way they do this is fixing something that...
More often than not, the problem occurs after the esata drive has been running for a bit. But either way, refreshing the device manager doesn't help. Rebooting sometimes helps, but that's a pain.

Possibly, when attaching an eSATA cable to the MB's SATA ports, but I tried a PCIe eSATA card with its own drivers, with no luck. I then bought a straight PCIe SATA card that didn't work with an...
This is purely out of curiosity, so there's no rush.
Is Windows 10 incompatible with eSATA? I have a couple of eSATA docks that used to work perfectly with Windows 7, but with 10 either they're...
I've got a weird situation here. I'm copying some files from my main data drive (D) to a second hard drive (E), and every time I try to copy I get the "These files may be harmful to your computer"...
Oh...of course. I didn't think to look there, because when I opened Settings in the Movies & TV app, it showed C: as the default download location (it still does for pictures, music, etc.). However,...
I'm new to the Microsoft Movies & TV app, and I downloaded a movie to see how well it would play. Can someone please tell me where that file is located? I can't find it, and I can't find anything...
It's both: details pane and rt click, properties, details.
File Metadata looks intriguing. I'm on my phone at the moment, but I'll look into that when I get back to the PC later today.
Version 1803 doesn't show some file details for files with the MKV extension. Version 1709 did not have this problem.
Using codec h.264, if I use the MP4 container, I get all file details. But if...
I've gone over this every which way, trying every possible trick I can find on the web, but nothing makes the least bit of difference. As noted, it's intermittent, and using a different file...
I've run searches but can't find my specific problem, and it's driving me nuts.
I'm having trouble moving and deleting files in Windows -- not just File Explorer, but in FreeCommander, as well.

I'm sorry, but I don't follow. I wasn't getting a BSOD, I was just having a problem with USB 3.0, and I solved it. I only posted my last note as a caution to others in the same situation.
Am I...
UPDATE: This USB 3.0 card was working smoothly until recently, when it started acting like the motherboard's USB 3.0 ports, i.e., dropping out for no apparent reason. At first I thought the card was...
I got the PCI-e card installed. Windows found it automatically, but I used the included driver to be sure it's always there. The card has a port to connect to 5v power, and another for the case's...
I found one at Amazon which has four ports on the card and a 20-pin port for the case's two front ports. Thanks again!
Thank you again for your suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The annoying thing about this failure is that it's unpredictable. It was working for several hours today, and then failed upon a...
I always Run as Administrator for things like this, but hadn't thought of using CMD as Administrator. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!
That's an excellent idea. I knew I had something else simmering on the back burner, and as soon as I read your post I realized that's what it was. Thank you!
I know this is an old thread, but my problem is the same as posted above. Specifically, the USB Root Hub (USB 3.0) shuts off for no particular reason when I insert an external drive. And it doesn't...
In my experience, backup and file copy software and robocopy get hung up on those folders, even when they're empty. I'm guessing it's something to do with default permission for each folder, even...
I know some people aren't bothered by these folders, but they always come up empty on my PC, so I have no use for them.
Worse, Windows 10 blocks access to these folders under some circumstances. I...
I updated my HP Stream 11 to Windows 10 using a clean installation, after creating an image of 8.1 with Macrium.
Windows 10 installed well, for the most part, but the Device Manager shows several...
In doing further research, I found that some, perhaps all, of the streaming services send out their streams at 23.976 fps, and it seems that my PC is set for 29.97 fps. I know that that the shows I...
Update: I had the thought to try running a couple of problem videos through Windows apps instead of a browser, and they play smoothly with the apps.
I may be wrong, but this tells me that the...
