Thanks! Much appreciated.
Thanks - I ordered two 2 TB portable hard drives for this purpose - one for me, one for my husband. Time to practice ALL of the safety measures, not just backing up our data.
One final question -...
It appears windows.old is gone from C:
I downloaded and ran HDTune - no errors were found on Health or Error Scan. Running chkdsk c: /scan from an Admin powerShell prompt shows 'Windows has...
Should my USB drive be formatted NTFS before creating the recovery drive? I see conflicting info on this - some posts say that creating the recovery drive will format the USB, and other say that it...
OK. If I search TenForums, will I find instructions on how to do both of those things?
Thanks again for your help and for hanging in there with me for the back and forth email thread.

I did see that, but since I was within the 10 days, I figured it would be available. I did not do disk cleanup. Could the system restore that broke all of my apps and that I then undid have also...
OK - I opened what I think is an elevated command prompt - I tried options 1, 2 and 3 (with option 1, I opened Windows PowerShell (Admin) - but it did not say elevated either).
When I did the...
In the Win + X menu, is Windows PowerShell (Admin) the same as Command Prompt (Admin) for opening an elevated command prompt? I need to do the extension of rollback time so I can order a new portable...
Ack! I cannot find how to uninstall the Windows 10 updates made on 7/21/2020 - and my 10 day uninstall time is running out to do so. The update shows in my history, but not when I select Uninstall an...
I have had endless issues with the recent Windows updates - and a System Restore broke all of my downloaded apps (I was not able to open any browsers, Word, Excel, Camtasia - nothing). I undid the...
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Would this also be my bootable drive, or do I create that on a separate USB thumb drive? (hopefully my last question for now)

I will try the uninstalling of the Windows updates and see if that helps.
And once this is fixed, I will definitely do a disk image. I used to have a Mac and they made it so easy with the...
Winver 1909 (OS Build 18363.959) - sorry I thought I had updated everything in the separate section for documenting my laptop info.289997
I have backups of my files, but did not do disk imaging -...
After a series of Windows 10 updates last week, I started having audio issues - I would get 'cannot find your microphone' messages on Zoom and then audio would be cut. I did a system restore (has...
Thanks so much!

Ah! That is good news - I do have 1709. I'll try to visit friends and update to 1803.
Thanks to you all for your help - such an awesome forum!

Yes! It helps a lot. I forgot to mention that we have Windows 10 Home version - is the Data Limit - Set Limit available to us? I went in and looked at the Data Limit and I don't see Set Limit...

We have two computers that run Windows 10, and we have metered satellite internet, so we pay a lot for our precious allotted data each month, and guard it like a hawk.
Is there any way we can...
Ah, Bree that is exactly what happened. I did sign in to the Microsoft Store to download a recommended app. I didn't see the box for No (and I usually look for those things with an untrusted source...
I have been using the same Windows 10 password to log in upon start and to wake the computer for over a year. Today when I entered that same password to gain access after the computer went to sleep,...
It is! And my own hard work was persistence in reading everything I could find on the issue! Standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before!
Thanks again to everyone who posts questions...
Update. I just rebooted (again), and now it seems to be working perfectly. Windows+Y, and I can screenshot dropdown menus again. YAY!
Hopefully it will stick and continue to work. Thanks to...
I recently bought a new computer with Windows 10, and installed Office 2013 (with OneNote 2013). Windows 10 is updated to today, with Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based...
