I tried doing a web search for this, but it only pulled up results for different forms of a bing toolbar that don't afflict me.

This thing pops up automatically and by default with the edge...

I did try a different mouse; I mentioned that in my first post. I tried plugging it into a different port even.

I have been having problems with my mouse input. I will, for example, be holding down the mouse button while dragging, and my computer will act like I had just let go of the mouse button and then...

I have a Surface Pro 7, and I recently had to re-image the device and revert everything back to its factory settings.
But now my settings are wrong.
What I am struggling with today is how...

Okay, I've downloaded the hard disk sentinel (trial version) and after running it... it has no data for this drive. The performance and health just say "unknown." Same with the power on time and...

A few details I neglected to mention that people are making wrong assumptions about:

For this copy process, I am mirroring an entire internal hard drive to an external one. One copy command, copy...

I have an external drive that I use to backup my hard drive, about every month. I haven't had it too long and it doesn't get much use because that's all I use it for.

But for the last two months...

When I go to the "safely remove drives" thing to eject a thumbdrive or external drive I have plugged into my computer, all three of my internal drives appear in this list, including the C drive the...

It's not that unusual; this is not the first time I've tried to wipe an old laptop. I have no idea why so many companies hide their drivers for mobile devices, but they do. This has been the case...

I've got an old laptop and I've confirmed that the HDD is dying. It is at this moment still running, but it won't be much longer.

I'm thinking about replacing the hard drive and keeping the...

So to clarify:
-I ran CHKDSC
-There are no logs from CHKDSC

I initially checked in the event viewer, but the other methods posted are agreeing with those results.


yup, and after I hit enter...

So last night when I ran CHKDSK I got messages about it finding and attempting to correct problems.
Today When I ran windows again I was unable to find any results from chkdsk in the event viewer;...

It's running, finally.
How do I see the results when it is finished? I want to know how much of my disc is usable; this will shape the future of how I use this device.

I have a laptop that I suspect has something wrong with its hard drive, so I went to run the disc check.
Last time I did this, I could have sworn the process was: select the disc, right click and...

Thanks; I've already done this. But I'm really asking about preventing a device from counting as activity that keeps the computer from going to sleep.

Sorry for the vague title, but this is what I'm talking about:

Windows will turn off the monitors (and even the computer) after a set amount of inactivity. Or turn on a screen saver.

But...

And now the screen saver won't work at all.I can set it to turn on in one minute with any screen saver, but it never turns on at all.

Of... the OS? Or am I able to do that of specific components?


I have not seen it work reliable ever since I installed Windows 10 pro earlier this year.
Running a dual boot system. I had...

My screen saver keeps failing to start. I don't get any error messages, if just never starts.
I can go into the settings, change the screen saver, and then it will work for like a day or so, but...

The quick launch tray was very useful and critical my workflow. Pinning applications to the taskbar simply does NOT have the same kind of ease of access, plus it takes up more room on my taskbar.
...

That helps a lot, and it looks like I can make smaller steps by holding shift.
It's hard to tell if I'm lining them up exactly right, especially since each time I select a monitor it suddenly jumps...

I have multiple monitors of varying sizes.
When I try to align how my monitors are positioned, Windows 10 (unlike the more advanced operating systems that came before it) forces the monitors to be...

I only changed the drive letter for my secondary drive, which I want to be D on both OS's.

As I said, everything seems to be working now; I'm just slightly concerned that the "system reserved"...

Honestly I don't want to bother with that either. I've just tried to disable it, but I have my suspicions that it isn't going to work next time I reset my computer. I guess we'll see.

Edit:...
