iPad & laptop: connection via WiFi Direct.
Printer & all other wifi devices appear in router (except for laptop! even though laptop is connected vi wifi)
Printer ip address in router matches that...

I realise this of course. The reason I did that was because I wasn't sure whether the printer had actually 'woken up' or not since 'troubleshooter' keeps telling me the printer is turned off. If I...

I've set the printer up so it's on wi-fi. To check that all is well I've printed to it from an iPad & a laptop via wifi - no problems. I've also set the printer so it doesnt go to sleep. However,...

What puzz;es me though is that it's obviously on the wi-fi network since the tablet & laptop can see it.

Hi.
I have a Brother HL-L2375DW printer. It won't print from my desktop PC because according to the Windows 10 troubleshooter it's off - needs to be turned on.
However. it is turned on in as much...

Hi all.
Thanks for all suggestion. I've adjusted the monitors to 0% Brightness & 100% Contrast. It kelps a little. The Video drivers (Nvidia GTX 970) are all up to date & I've adjusted the...

To dalchina, Callender
Its's not a laptop.

Thanks for your suggestions. I did consider the monitor settings but since I haven't touched their settings since I first installed them and since I've been adjusting Windows settings lately I...

Hi
I’m recently having cataract operations on my eyes and at present my eyesight is pretty messed up. I’ve been attempting to adjust the PC screen while my eyes recover. However, I’ve got into a...

Mmm... This has become a more complicated issue.
It seems I have two Admin accounts:
Account A: (the one I normally use) A local account (Admin) using my Live email address. I know the PIN but not...

Hi
Here's a thing. I normally log on to my PC using the PIN.
I'm using an MS live account associated with my MS Live email address for Windows 10
A while ago I changed the password for purposes of...

Most browsers have the facility to zoom in & out of web pages but they all seem to use the same increments. Starting at 100% they go 110 - 120 - 133 etc or similar. unfortunately when you get much...

Yes, that's a possibility I'm considering after looking at the crazy price of Macs with their tiny screens

The others were suggesting possible solutions. Obviously I've invested in Windows software so if the update problem were sorted then I'd carry on with MS. However, since it seems that it's not going...

I'm struggling here to see the advantage. It may be 100% stable but since I will only be using Windows and
all the software, drivers etc I use are for Windows then what would I be using CENTOS for...

Yes I am frustrated that after 2 years the Windows 10 update problem has yet to be sorted

You're so very lucky.

I’ve tried various flavours of Linux over the years. It’s just another pile of problems: incompatible hardware drivers, plenty of software not built for it – it’s worse.
Now that’s a very geeky...

Been there, done it, several times. Will it prevent future update problems? My experience tells me no.

Hi folks
This is more of a report than a query.When Windows 10 insisted itself on to our PCs we were given to understandthat updates would be forced rather than optional.All well & good if greater...

Yes I agree, that's what I've been doing since Cobian Backup stopped working a while back. Trouble is, it's possible to forget some days, it takes an awful long time and it's way over the top when...

Yeah I tried that - no luck. As I said it seems something's broken somewhere. No matter what I select or unselect it continues to backup something different. This is reflected in the Config#.xml...

Ah yes, that list (found in Backup Options/Back up these folders).
I'm aware of that and had removed all entries except for my Test Folder
yet when I ran a backup it began backing up a bunch of...

Hi
I’ve been trying Win 10 File History and am most confused.
First I did a Test run and selected just one folder (Test Folder) to be backed up to an external drive.
After the backup had been...

Personal choice.
Oh yes, there's plenty of free stuff out there & not all of it blasts you with ads & pop-ups etc but I think if a bunch of people produce some decent software that I like then I'm...
