Guess I'll have to do that. Seems strange though as its never happened before. Really appreciate the help here as I'd NEVER have guessed about the printer lol

Well, you're certainly on to something. Uninstalling the printer drivers did not work. HOWEVER, if I turn the printer ON, Wordpad launches just fine. How bizarre. I guess Wordpad is attempting to...

I think you maybe mean the Windows key and R, but yes the same thing happens. App starts ok but sits with 'not responding' for a few mins

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, but alas none of this has enabled me to delete or even move the folder lol.
The only suggestion not yet tried is booting from a 'live disk'. Can someone plz...

I have a folder on my Desktop that refuses to delete. It happened after moving some of its contents to another location.Msg states its ‘No longer in D:\Desktop (which is where my Desktop...

Hi Guys n Gals
I have a problem connecting Bluetooth headphones to my main Windows 10 (x64) PC. I’m using a Bluetooth USB adaptor in my PC. It shows as present in the device manager, and with the...

Can anyone throw any light on this for me…

I recently received some (expected) data from a company (known to me) on a sponsors ‘giveaway’ 1GB USB stick. This data was (or should have been) just 5...

Its such a shame, as on the whole, their hardware is good

I wouldn't know where to start lol

They can't even be bothered to reply to an official support ticket, after an auto-response stated I'd get a reply in two days!

I've spent thousands of £ on Corsair over the years, but this will be...

I did yes. Disabled in BIOS and turned off in Windows10

ok thanks. I've raised a ticket with Corsair support. If past experience is anything to go by, I'll not hold my breath:-(

WOW! Thanks for all the help. Surely this means I'll have issues with just about ANY USB keyboard?

This is still happening:-(
Fast Boot turned off in BIOS and Windows (powercfg -h off)

If I reboot or shut down the PC WITHOUT turning off mains supply, then all is well and keyboard starts just...

Many thanks for your detailed reply, its appreciated. Will check all you've said...

How on earth could it be something so simple as a PC name!!??
Windows updates must have made a change, as the machines have been named this way for years;-)

All the other machines have...

This is news to me. I do not use Windows passwords at all (never have).
I've been running this EXACT same network configuration since Win10 was launched, without these passwords and never had an...

Many thanks. Will check all that and report back.

I have TeamViewer installed if anyone thinks they can fix this for me:-)

To be sure there’s no hardware or router problems, and just for testing, I backed up the system, and then installed a FRESH copy of Windows10. My other network PCs connected to the PC without any...
