After not having used windows much for a few months, and after the most recent update, the function to launch apps using Explorer keeps stopping working. I can't launch any apps from the taskbar or...
I want to use OneNote for Windows 10 to take notes while watching videos. This means keeping it in a narrow window at the right hand side of the screen so that it doesn't cover the video. The trouble...
I have a Word document and I want to change the levels of the headings by moving each down one, but keep the same styles for the headings as they now appear in the document. In other words, I want to...
To be honest, I'd seen that one, but it looked so horrifically complicated, especially as it only fixes one paper size, that I thought I might just end up down a rabbit hole. But after you mentioned...
I need to print an A6 document to PDF. In the Print Server Properties there are a huge number of paper sizes defined, including A6, but when I try to print, Microsoft Print to PDF Document properties...
Latest update:
Yes, it was the motherboard that was faulty. Since I replaced it with an Asus Sabertooth 990FX (1st generation) a week ago I have not had one BSOD or freeze.
I was also pleasantly...
I'm starting to think they must have been drunk when they put File History together. I can't understand how presumably experienced software designers could have implemented it so self-evidently badly.
Thank you! That's a good point about not just relying on File History for backups. I want to use File History because, once I've got the configuration sorted out, it will require little effort and be...
How can I edit my File History preferences without having to spend all day doing it? It automatically chooses a whole raft of folders to back up, which I want to simplify, but when I try to remove or...
You could be right. I'm betting on the motherboard being the problem because I ran Prime95 for an hour in Windows, and then stress-ng in Ubuntu, without triggering a crash. Unfortunately, since it's...
That doesn't surprise me with regard to that particular crash. I've known for a long time that I need to disable audio signal processing in my DAW before I hibernate the computer or I may run into...
Thanks for replying. The full memory dump is from 22 May, which is a while before I started having my current problems and also before I reinstalled Windows. I actually have this minidump 338357 from...
I've attached the V2 log. What have I missed out?

Oh I see. The attachment got corrupted. I'll try again. 338122
And here is the log from the new clean install of Windows...
I have been having very frequent freezes and BSODs over the last several days, as well as other problems that were making my backup software malfunction. The problem with the backup software I...
Thanks for your advice.
It turns out that I made a mistake in assuming that the errors that CHKDSK reported were physical errors on the disk. I could not find them using other tools such as HD...
I need to replace the SSD with the Windows partition on it because it is dying. The problem is that when I try to make a copy of the system, the image fails an integrity check, presumably because the...
Thanks for the reply.
I did in the end get it to start recognising ü without installing German handwriting recognition, but then I tried é and I just couldn't get that working at all, even though...
I tried using Windows 10 (20H2) handwriting recognition to take notes for the first time today, and it was a disaster. I was typing in English, and my language was set to English (UK) and my keyboard...
I think I have done what you have said. I have two computers that I want to connect: zebedee and dougal.
Currently zebedee is the controller. I can control dougal from zebedee, but not the other...
Thanks! That seems to be working for me. The little visual bloop around the mouse pointer when it moves from one computer's monitor to another's is a nice touch.
The only thing it doesn't do,...
Thanks for the pointer. I've left a new comment there because there are already too many comments to read through.
I am trying to use Mouse Without Borders on two PCs (A and B). I want to use A's mouse and keyboard to control B. I managed to make it work, but then the keyboard connection unexpectedly stopped...
Thanks for your responses so far. For some reason it seems to have stopped happening. If it happens again, I'll go through the procedures you have recommended and paste the results.
I've checked...
Since the latest Windows update (build 19042.985, version number 20H2) yesterday, I have had the same problem happen on two different computers. In both cases, the Alt key seems to get stuck so that,...
I am having a problem displaying text from a certain site in Google Chrome and I am not sure if it is a Windows problem, a Chrome problem, or a problem with the site in question.
What happens is...
