Is there a way to do disable thumbnail cache creation/modification for certain folders of drive? I have a folder that has my bank statement scans and every time I move the pictures, the thumbnail...

This might not be a Windows specific question, but here it goes. I play Warzone with my bro a lot, while I talk to him on my phone. I was wondering if there is a way hear both the warzone sounds and...

I rebuilt the index overnight and it seems to work now.

I did some more testing. It seems that if I moved the file to another folder (both existing and new), the file disappears from the index. If the file is in the original place, I can type its file...

I sent the file to the recycle bin and the count didn't change. I restored it and the count went up by one.

Also these files were all recently moved to a new folder and I was searching in that new...

That's a good experiment. I made two new text files and the indexing number went up after five seconds. If I search for the new files, the results come up. However, if I search for the file names...

I did that last night and I was wondering if I need to do that every time I make new files or modify files on that drive?

Hello all, I recently found this problem.

I have my computer indexed and it's all fine. However, I noticed that if I search for a particular file name, the results would also show deleted files...

Yep I'm gonna do that definitely so I don't have to worry about running into this again in the future

ok good I didn't even get to this screen, since I canceled installation in the middle and was afraid that it's gonna do something to my hard drive.

Like a non-bootable C drive? Holy shit I don't want to go through reinstalling windows again. I had booted into ubuntu USB and it asked me to install. I clicked on it but then cancelled it because I...

If I started installing it and then hit cancel, does that create bad partition or something on my hard drive?

Still looks the same. I think something went wrong during the transfer.

Also, when you use ubuntu on USB, I'm assuming you're running the ubuntu OS from the USB? It asked to...

How do I do that? I still have the Linux USB.

I did that already. I think something happened when I dragged the folder to USB under ubuntu OS. I also noticed that in the User/Pictures folder, every file is actually 0 kb.

Yeah man tried it within several different programs to no avail.

I saw some programs (such as kroll ontrack) that claims it can recover data. Yes there were other stuff in the appdata folder copied, so that's weird.

Is there a way to recover the firefox bookmark file after clean reinstall? I did use the ubuntu USB stick to copy/paste my entire User folder over, but for some reason the AppData/roaming folder is...

Thanks so much man! This is the best computer forum ever and I learned a lot!

got windows reinstalled, thank you so much guys! The only thing I lost was the firefox and chrome bookmarks. I thought I had copied my entire user folder over to a thumbdrive under ubuntu, but then...

How do I check if my motherboard uses UEFI or old BIOS?

My motherboard is MSI Z270-A Pro (mS-7A71).

BIOS ver: E7A71IMS.170

Does it mean it's BIOS?

MSI Global not sure if BIOS or UEFI?

I forgot which one, it was made when I made the post two months ago. The instructions were from here.

But the way I changed the C drive to GPT was correct right?

I'm trying to do the clean install now.

I ran into a problem of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style." I fixed it by reading...

I know, I made a mistake!

How do I do that? I just need to copy stuff from my desktop, but now I can't even boot my PC.
