I am browsing the web using Firefox, with NoScript and UBlock Origin plug-ins installed. I've accepted all options for those plug-ins for the Comodo website, but still, I am unable to see any...
Thanks a lot. When uninstalling Comodo, I simply used the Add/Remove option inside Windows, rather than anything specific to Comodo. (This appeared to work normally.)
I have now reinstalled the...
W10, ver 22H2.
I decided to uninstall Comodo anti-virus. I was hoping that I could then easily switch over to W10's built-in anti-virus.
Inside W10's Virus and Threat protection settings, I...

I want to copy a file which is 38GB, from my desktop, to a USB 3 drive. The USB 3 port is not attached to the motherboard, but instead it's on an adapter card. (My...
I wondered why my monitor doesn't always switch itself off after 2 minutes of inactivity, because that is the power setting that I have for my monitor - if I'm not using my PC, then after 2 mins,...
Thanks a lot. I see this:

I set my PC to sleep after 5 mins of inactivity. If my PC sleeps, and I attempt to wake it up soon afterwards, I notice that sometimes the PC cannot be woken up, and I have...
I would like to be able to double click on a desktop icon that does the following:
Puts the W10 machine in to sleep mode, at a certain time of the day.
If anyone can tell me how to do this, I'd be...
When you say "it's the key that matters", what does this mean, from a practical use point of view? Thanks.
That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Does that specific set up offer any...
Thanks a lot, that's great info, that's solved my question.
I now realise that my OEM disc installation is tied to the mobo, and MS will not allow me to use it (to boot up) on a new PC that has a...
Thanks very much for everyone's replies, they are really appreciated.
Unfortunately, I can't find my W7 disc. It was likely an OEM disc. (It's been a long time since I did a W7 install.)
However,...
I built my PC out of parts in 2008, and it's now showing its age.
I bought W10 about 18 months ago from a PC store. It was on DVD, and I'm 99% sure it's an OEM disc. (I can't find it atm to...
Thanks! I would leave rep, but I can't give you any more rep until I spread more rep to others, so just to say that I really appreciate your help.
Hi, thanks a lot for all replies.
(I will get a pci-e usb 3.0 card!)
In the meantime, I decided to download teracopy. I have a problem with it though. When I use it, it keeps 'disappearing'. ...
Thanks for the link! I downloaded it, and when I tried to run it, as Administrator because running it "normally" said: Access denied, another error message popped up saying that I need the .NET...
Sorry!! I have made a mistake! It is not a shortcut, but an actual notepad file itself, eg "my document".txt
sorry for the confusion!
I have 2 external USB storage devices. They are 2T each in size. My mobo has USB 2.0 specification.
I find that if I copy the data from one device to another, if the data is quite large (both in...
Thanks a lot.
I wonder if someone could please just add to the help so far, because I have this related issue:
I have a notepad.exe shortcut on my desktop, that "points" to a particular notepad...
(Windows version number = 1903)
When I run notepad, I always have to maximise it, before I start using it.
If I then close it, then reopen it, W10 'forgets' that I've set notepad to maximised, and...
Thanks a lot. Actually, there is another reason why, and I found out by trial and error. For some odd reason, the cable is at fault. Although it charges the device, it won't allow my PC to "see"...
If I plug in my old Kindle in to my Win 10 PC, using the supplied USB cable, it can't "see" the Kindle's data storage area. My PC works fine, and all of the USB ports work fine. The cable works...
Whoops, I have made an error in my reporting of the solved problem. Although the problem was solved on a reboot, when I did a "cold boot" the next day, the problem returned. But I've just realised...
Thanks, that fixed the problem! BTW, at the end of those instructions, under the heading "Change DCOM Permissions", where it says to give the newly added System full control, I decided to give it...
