I have recently set my win 10 only system to dual boot 10/11. I use the Insider preview build for 11.
No connection to Inernet was establised by my hard wired connection normally used on the Win 10...

Yes I know, but why is Windows asking for the wrong one?.
I know the WiFi one is correct, (Connected my printer with it) So why is it rejected when I use it to make an internet wifi connect.

Hi,
I wish to make an internet connection using our house wifi (virgin router - version not known) I have the wifi password, but when it comes to connect (password text box) I'm asked for the...

Hi,
After many hours of thought on this I think that my de-activation may be linked to a quick one time boot message that said my TPM profile had changed.
This must have been noticed by the freshly...

Hi,
It seems I am forced into buying a 10 Pro licence.
I spent a good 40 mins yesterday talking to MS support to work through my upgrade path to establish this, much to my chagrin.
What was not...

Hi,
indeed being wise after the event seems to be prevalent here.
However, had they rolled back what they took and replaced virgo intacto, then all would be well. But they didn't , the removed,...

Hi everyone
I have been thinking of taking the free upgrade route to Win 11 and decided to take the offer pf previewing the latest version of 11 by the windows update procedure. I thought that a...

Well, I think I have managed to fix this problem. Although why the solution worked I am not sure about.
I spent yesterday morning checking all mobo connections. During this I discovered that my...

Hmmm, the matter of the 12V rail is interesting, and while it was low (tested with a plug in PSU tester) , but it must have eventually provided the "power good" signal after repeated power cycles....

Yes and my mobo has been on P1.4 for a while now. Nothing newer is available

Hi there.
My line of investigation was started by a failure of my system to (seemingly) post (no BIOS splash, and no Windows boot.
Initial repeated pwer cycling to get it to boot led me to look at...

Hi,
In recent months I have encountered a windows boot failure. The only way to get my system running was by repeated power cyycling.Up to 4 or 5 times to get a bios post and boot.
I suspected the...

Hi,
I get the gist of your replt,thanx.
Right click what though? I'm just using the control panel view, and asking for the program to be uninstalled.

Hi I have used Win 10 since it came out and in general, I'm happy with it.
Is there a difference in system access rights given to a local account administrator as compared to an Microsoft account...

Thanks for your considered response. As with most things, this problem isn't that straightforward. I switched to Win 10 last July (2015) having processed through win 7 , and win 8. The bulk of my...

Hi all,
I have recently changed the drive for my "save location" as it was getting a little full. The new drive is in place OK and new music/docs etc are now stored on the newly allocated hard...

No I doubt it, as I'd installed a clean copy of win 7 pro to the machine first, then registered for the Win 10 upgrade, had to use a registry hack to enable the upgrade, and then it went ahead. I...

Hi - I did upgrade from 7 pro, and I do use Malwarebytes (scheduled - daily), and also Spybot (occasionally)
But as I said to "him", under 7 pro this didn't affect MS Essentials settings.
Dave

Hi,
I run Malwarebytes Anti-malware, but under 7 pro it never turned off Microsoft Essentials. Are you saying that it now does?
Dave

Hi,
I have windows Defender turned on (by default presumably) but it's greyed out and the slider is not active. Win 10 prompts me with an info box at start up saying Defender is turned off. This is...

I did all that ages ago - speech recognition works OK though. Quite common is it - that seems to imply a patchy roll out and even patchier updates to me. As I've already said elsewhere, MS didn't...

I can't get Cortana to start/work - just says it's disabled for my area UK, UK english - time zone London - what's going on here?

Hi all,
apologies for my rant earlier - I always have high expectations of new software and I nearly always set up a dual boot with a Linux box after coming back down to earth. My newest system...

Hi,
well you are correct on both fronts, I multithread all the time - sorry. I have 2 main pcs - one is brand new and super quick, the other is based around an Asrock AliveNF7G mobo - which , as I'm...

I didn't use it to find the drivers, I used it to check that I was up to date. Which I was.
So I'm not quite sure what point you are making.
