Thanks. It all worked fine while I had both computers on Windows 10 !! I thought I'd set all the passwords and permissions the same, but obviously missed something. I guess it's a lot more reading,...

Hi, not sure if this is a win10 or win11 issue. I'm trying to remotely access files stored on a Windows11 pc from my Windows10 pc.
I've set sharing permissions on the Windows11 drive to "Everyone"...

Hasn’t fixed it. trying to open Audacity this morning. The smallish Audacity splash window shows, but goes no further, just hangs there. Also, trying to double click open any audio mp3 file brings up...

Oops, sorry, I used the earlier log collector tool. This time attached here is the report from the beta08 version of the tool.

Thanks for that advice. I've attached the DM log report as requested.....

Everything OK from bootup for several minutes/an hour or...

Thanks ED for your advice. I do keep regular personal data file backups so no issue there....just the $1000 app I might loose that's worrying. I'll move over to the BSOD forum and continue my quest...

Oh dear, loks like my thoughts have to turn to hardware. I started an image backup by booting from an Acronis bootable CD. The image creation succeeded but hung while verifying. I then tired again,...

in-place that is, a typo..

I have already run the DISM and SFC without indicating any problem, so will have a go at the in-please upgrade. I'll take an image backup first with Acronis, then attempt the upgrade. All that will...

I would have got to the point of doing a clean install, but have one particular application that cost me approx. $1000 that is licenced to the current build, and the last thing I want to do is loose...

Earlier today I uninstalled Rapport, McAfee and Malwarebytes in readiness for the next step.
Bear in mind that throughout the last few weeks the pc has continually cycled through...

I attached these back in response number 5 on page one of this thread.

Ok, I'm back. Sorry for the delays. As well as trips away my wife also needs access to the limping computer so I don't get many opportunities to investigate.
In answer to the comment imediately...

Here attached is the other Log collector result you've asked for. I'm assuming the link you gave was to get the utility, and not the place to post the result, so it's just here in this thread. Let me...

Hmm, don't understand, I can open the zip and read the text log files, all in plain English. I'm reattaching the log dump again here.
