Only applies if you have a newish phone

Odd to see another stable update so soon after the last one 2 days ago.

I use the viBoot feature but a Reflect recovery from backup has never failed me. You can also mount any partition from a Reflect backup file as a virtual drive where you can check the files / folders.

Same applies. My TVs are off at the mains switch when not used. The only things powered on 24/4 are fridge, freezer and gas boiler.

You can certainly revert to Office 2010 but Office 2021 receives security updates whereas Office 2010 does not.

Any electrical appliance left turned on at the mains switch is a fire risk so it's always safest to turn them off. My desktop PC & monitor is always off at the mains when not in use since it only...

Check your BIOS manual since some boards allow this to be turned off.

if the USB ports built into the case are bust you can buy a 3.5" tray with USB ports which you then connect to the motherboard

See Add or Remove System cooling policy from Power Options in Windows

Peak temperature is 203 F = 95 C which is high and you risk thermal shutdown depending on the CPU spec. Something is wrong...

If you believe that then you should disable HDD power saving which spins down the disks

The last thing we need is an Artificial Idiot messing about with flaky OneDrive functionality!

Try passive cooling in the power mode settings to see what happens? Also check there is no debris trapped in the fan blades and any ducting to/from the fan is clear.

It's also simple to update a 'non compliant' PC to Windows 11 if you wish.

I would certainly upgrade if the new BIOS is for a security fix

Perhaps but how Macrium ever discover people breaking their policy?

The USB stick is toast. This is also a common fault with SD cards.

I shut down my desktop PC and power it off at the mains when not in use and shutdown laptops when not in use for a day or so since there is still a small battery drain in sleep mode. With exception...

Assembly code is luxury compared to machine code!

My laptop shows False for that command. I'm not inclined to fiddle in case I break something!

Spotlight is a fine example of shoddy software engineering.

100% agree too

That's not a great plan since that software is deprecated. I've found Reflect very reliable.

How did you prove Windows 10 is faster?

I upgraded a 10 year old non-complaint PC last week as follows:


Download the latest Windows 11 ISO file and mount it as a virtual drive
Turn off net access
Run setup.exe
On the first...
