The first link seems to be for a proprietary NAS system, not Windows. The second link is interesting, but his (faulty) storage pool is at least showing up - mine is gone but the virtual disks that...

I have a strange virtual disk problem on Server 2019 (the virtual disk commands should be the same as on Win 10). I have several *.vhdx files on different physical drives which used to be in a...

Installing an unsigned driver on Win 10 x64 is always a chore, especially after all workarounds using boot configuration data (BCDEdit) apparently stopped working since a few feature upgrades, see...

Great, so it was mentioned in some blog post. Did they also mention that it will screw with bluetooth and why?

I was thrown down the bluetooth rabbit hole to fix a "phone can't connect to PC" issue where the culprit turned out to be the Focus Assist "feature" silently added to Windows some years ago. For...

I use the Win 7 style calculator, not the garbage one they added in Win 10. But I just cheked the Win 10 calculator and it seems to use some kind of "special" always-on-top mode where there is a...

Ok, by playing around with the extra buttons tool, I think I could narrow down the cause - or at least find a way to reproduce the bug!

It happens when you use the split-screen snap mode with one...

Good point, I can't recall this ever happen before 2004. On the other hand, I started using the split-screen mode only recently (maybe 2 months), after 2004, so if I had to guess, I would say it's...

Thanks for the advice. It's not an ease of access issue (all settings default) and I never had Chrome running when it happened (it's installed though but rarely used). The Windows install is 4 years...

Yeah, Firefox uses its own fancy custom window mode without a title bar, so it gets messed up a bit, but for my purpose it's fine.

(Here I only enabled the always-on-top button, no other...

This one works on Windows 10, thanks! The position of the extra buttons is a bit off in Firefox (they overlap partially with the normal minimize button, but it's fine in other programs), but it can...

The program is from 2002 and it doesn't seem to do anything on Windows 10.

Version: Win10 Edu, 2004, x64

I have the unusual problem that sporadically a window gets stuck in always-on-top mode and there is no way to get it back to normal behavior except restarting the...

Just a small update: It seems to be that my PC is the anomaly. I've upgraded several other PCs to 2004 and none of them has problems with the µ (AltGr+M) when using the German keyboard layout.
...

I'm using a German keyboard, which has an "alt graph" key (right alt key, or AltGr) to access a tertiary symbol on certain keys (in addition to a secondary symbol accessible by the shift key), for...

Hi,

I use WebDAV on my NAS to access files remotely over the internet. The WebDAV volume can be conveniently mounted on the remote machines (Win 10) at startup via net use and it works fine...

Ok, dear desperate google visitor from the future, here's how I solved it:

Safe mode doesn't help at all, by the way, it gives you the same error if you want to remove the NIC via DeviceCleanup...

Ok, I'll try it in safe mode (haven't thought of that yet :eek:) but I can only do it on Monday. I'll report how it went...

No, I see only the present NIC ("Ethernet 2"), not the ghost one:


Windows IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Novgorod
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node...

The device is physically not present (because I replaced the mainboard) but Windows wants to hold on to it by all means. The ghost NIC is an inactive device (as per definition), so it can't be...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it can't remove the NIC:
211391

It's the only Intel I219-V that shows up in the device list of the DeviceCleaner program (it shows only non-present devices as I...

Hi,

I recently had to change my motherboard, which went without any problems (from Z170 to Z270). I just updated the intel drivers and had to re-activate Windows and that's all. However, the...

Hey, I did exactly that and the problem is gone, thanks!

But what did cause the *!%#& sticky notes to autorun in the first place!? Some windows update or Office installation/update? We'll never...

No ideas?

Hi!

I have an odd issue. I have disabled UAC (because reasons), which in term forbids to run all Metro apps - this is well-known and I'm fine with that because nobody needs them. However, on each...
