All the best,

I have little left to contribute.



1 For MPE, the phone should apparently be set to Charging only.
Howto and FAQ Use Android Phones with MPE - FJ Software
I have not had to bother setting...

Did you find that path anywhere in the MPE, Settings [my post #4]?


Denis

You type quicker than me.
I copy the whole lot but the main files that you might manipulate later on are
general.ini
and, in the phone's folder,
settings.dat

Both files can be opened, read &...

MPE creates its own cache.
It's not useful.
- It allows files to accumulate at every sync so you fill your computer's disk up needlessly.
- When I realised this I set it to delete every time MPE...

You already have a Windows 10-11 licence.
Don't buy another one.


Denis

It's only just occurred to me to ask if you have set up the two phones as separate 'user' entries [bottom left of MPE interface].
Or are you trying to use the same settings on both phones?

Barry,

Your SFC & Dism results make me wonder if your installation could be repaired instead of doing a clean install.
For one thing, a Repair install [which, despite its name, is a repair not an...

No. They are giving you bad advice.
Your Windows 11 licence is also a Windows 10 licence. You do not need to buy anything.
You can make a Windows 10 installation disk of your own [as we all do...

Yes.
A system image of the disk containing a fully working Windows OS will restore exactly the same fully working Windows OS.
And system images are much more reliable than Restore points.
Your act...

Yes, as Rick says, PS is also a viable method that will not make TS throw a wobbly.
SchTasks is not deprecated in Windows 11. And its built-in Help [SchTasks /?] is the same in both OSes.


Denis

A Task scheduler task that temporarily steals focus would have the effect you describe.


Denis

If you are referring to Task scheduler tasks then I urge you not to try to fiddle with them in the Registry at all. TS gets really awkward if it detects that one of its tasks has been edited...

Perhaps that path is used in an entry within Settings, MultiSync, Customise
e.g.
408470 - 408471

or another Settings entry such as Sync or Advanced 2.


You don't say how you connect your...

Have you changed any network settings since that computer was last able to connect to it?

If it has never been connected to it then check the network frequency*** using both this computer & your...

I've seen it twice since doing the update three days ago.

Do you think this Event viewer entry is of any significance?
Are you experiencing any fault symptoms?


Denis

Create a new user account for day to day use.
Make it an Admin.
See if it behaves itself.

If you are still in WinPE then that message merely means they cannot run in WinPE.
Being portable does not mean being able to run in non-Windows OSes like WinPE.


Denis

The steps involving the system image & file backup are to be done now.
- I am not suggesting you restore a system image to your future computer.
- The image & file backup are just to allow you to...

You can ask the prospective seller about the delayed installation.
- But I think they might not know.
- Even worse, they might not know but say you can do what you want just to get rid of you....

I do not know what has happened.
I'd suspect hardware updates rather than Windows updates.

If you want to pursue this, I suggest you output the current entries then do this again in mid-May so...

OK.
[You type quicker than I screenshot. I was still adding my second diagram when you posted.]
I really did think it would turn out to be a change in Options. I cannot think of another...

OK.

I recognise your diagram as being USBDeview.
USBDeview provides a list of devices and they are also shown in Device mgr.

You referred to "logs".
I do not know what you meant.
Did you mean "the number of entries shown in the USBDeview user interface"?
