Good for you, but do you really expect people to do this? Most people don't even know what 7-Zip is. They might think it is a new soft drink replacing 7-Up.

Now we all have to become IT experts, with the abilities to follow their cryptic command sets to repair what they broke on our PCs. Got it.

MS had to know that 99% of Windows 10 installs only setup a 500MB recovery partition. I know for a fact, during my install of W10 Home, I was never presented with an option during the setup to...

Yup. They think we're all AI bots.

No. You are in a very very very long line, I'm sorry to say.

MisterEd,

Your mention of the service stop/start commands prove there's a problem in the networking...

I gave in and did the in-place upgrade this morning. That actually cured the Windows Explorer hang when I touched the icon that displayed my PC in the Device and Printers applet. Strange why that...

Eh, created a local account. Ran through the same scenario to repeat the problem. Same same. I'm moving on. I'm just chasing weeds with this one. The good thing is, all devices are installed cleanly...

I posted a message in another forum, but I haven't received any responses yet. I'm posting here too, to give it more exposure. I'll leave the link instead of retyping all the information.

I did mention in the post that I have the latest driver.

Dell 13 5368 driver

When I have open applications and minimize/maximize them from the task bar. I will notice a flashing blur in the application's title bar and some times in the entire application's window. The laptop...

I found the apps I wanted to remove in the list but the flag was already set to 0. I attempted to flip the flag to 1 then back to 0, but I received a error from the DB tool. I then booted into repair...

Rats. The tools didn't work either.

Yeah, sorry to say the troubleshooter didn't identify anything.

I tried to uninstall the apps from the Start Menu, the Settings -> Apps manager, and the PowerShell. All failed.

I'll try the...

I can't uninstall store apps and sometimes I received the error 0x80073cfa. The errand apps stay in the Start Menu also. Since I tried to uninstall the specified apps, they will no longer open. I...

Just one local user profile being used. When the 1803 update hit my laptop, nothing was corrupted or lost. I can't understand why this update would change anything. Crap. I do see this folder called...

I have a Dell Inspiron 13-5368 2-1 laptop. Dell claims it was successfully tested. Maybe true. At least the laptop boots up into the desktop. However, the first problem I had was that my customized...

I'm using Edge at my job location which is running the enterprise version of Windows 10. My Edge homepage is the company's homepage URL. On this page are other intranet URLs. Whenever I click on any...

I guess this post should be considered "solved".

The Netgear Genie is pretty cool. lol But I agree that MS should not have removed the functionality. Very dumb on their part.

It never ends. I guess I will have to prepare for the worst "again".
:banghead:

Oh no. Guess what I just discovered. Like I said, it doesn't really matter which discovery method is used. Just want it to work. I know NetBIOS does. But W10 Home computer name disappears in Network...

Good stuff. I agree with it all. I don't mind which discovery method is used mind you. I just wished it actually worked. On my W10 Home computer, the FDRP service just dies even though the service...

I have to say this must be a question no one can answer in a straight forward way. Let's start with saying that Microsoft has introduced an undated (or a new version of) network discovery topology in...

Even so, there are still major issues users are experiencing. Just go to Microsoft's own community forms and you'll see the postings mounting since Jan 3 when their update was first pushed out. I...
