What a nightmare! I've never had to do a Macrium Reflect restore of my data volume. If I did, I might not think about the impact on File History. So it's good to be forewarned.
Now that I know...
Yes, that's why I've not attempted to remove items this way. File History's index will be inconsistent once items are deleted manually. Probably OK, but who knows.
Anyway, thanks for your...
Thanks. Next time I am running out of space I'll try these options.
I agree what I'm doing defeats the object of using File History. Actually I do keep a Macrium Reflect backup of the File...
I use Macrium Reflect for my main monthly backups monthly. If a file was deleted before the backup, it doesn't appear in the backup.
I find File History works well if I need to go back several...
Unfortunately that option doesn't help in the situation described. It just clears backed up folders to the latest versions. If a large folder has been included in the backup previously, the latest...
I use File History, Windows 10 2004. Over time, the File History drive gets full. Often that's because some folders have got very large and I no longer need them in the backup. I want to remove these...
In case it was not clear from the edit to my post, I fixed this by downloading an updated ethernet driver and disabling the option to Wake On LAN after shutdown. The updated Realtek driver has an...
I'm having problems with power options in my Windows 10 PC with ASUS 170-K mbo.
The PC is shut down programmatically at midnight (by calling the shutdown process), it is started automatically from...
Just a note on the solution I have adopted to inadvertently moving folders. So far, it has been working really well for me, but will not be applicable to most people. My problem is caused by having a...
It's a desktop with a proper mouse. I agree about the undesireable actions with a Synaptics Touchpad. On my laptop I prefer to plug in a mouse rather than use the touchpad.
It appears the answer is no, so I'll have to keep using a large drag and drop sensitivity. I've marked this as answered. Thanks for all the responses
It's a .NET program I wrote that backs up a lot of stuff daily the way I want it.
Macrium Reflect for system backups. However for daily Thunderbird email backups, I use my own app.
I'm using 1100 pixels at the moment:rolleyes:. That's enough so that scrolling all the way down one of my three monitors can't affect an adjacent one. There are annoying side effects. For example if...
If you google disable drag and drop you will find a large number of requests to have the option of disabling it, going back many years. The most frequent request is from system administrators. They...
Unfortunately none of the suggestions completely disable drag and drop.
I can change the default behaviour to copy instead of move a folder. This would at least leave a folder in place when it's...
Thanks for this. I made the registry changes suggested and it seems to have disabled drag and drop as I want. I'll leave it in place for a few days to check there are no unacceptable side effects,...
When someone tells me my PC needs fixing, and I have time to spare, I say, maybe that's why it takes so long to boot. Oh, yes they say. So I say I'll have to switch my PC on. Ok, they say. I wait...
I sometimes inadvertently move folders around in Windows 10 without being aware of it. When I do, it often takes a long time to fix. Some of the suggestions on how to fix this are along the lines of...
I've moved Windows to the new drive and it's now running faster. Thanks for all the advice.
Thanks for all the replies.
Yes, I'd considered moving Windows to the faster disk. I may yet do so, and I do use Macrium Reflect, so it's easy to do. I do want to keep my SQL Server databases on...
I have 8GB ram with a 120GB Sata 3 SSD and several hard disk drives. Windows 10 is installed on the SSD. The page file is managed by Windows.
I've added a faster 256GB PCIe 3.0 SSD. I'm mainly...
That's what I suspected was the best way to configure the system, but I wanted confirmation. Many thanks for your response.
Yes, I agree. I do most of my work on a much more powerful desktop. I'm only working on the laptop when I'm away from home. I know the laptop will be very underpowered for development work. That's...
I'm typically building/debugging a .NET application in Visual Studio which is communicating with a microcontroller, so I'm also running a second IDE on Windows to program/debug the firmware on the...
