5 1/2 years later... Congratulations. :huh:
I wonder why it is so hard?

After my In-Place Upgrade failures reported in post #915 above, I tried the procedure again one more time today and again I got the black and grey flashing screen after the first boot attempt and...

Thanks very much for putting my mind at rest. I will make a System Image and then go ahead with the "in-place upgrade repair install".

I will report back my results, eventually.

I want to do an "In-place upgrade" to my Windows 10 Pro (v1909 build 18363.592) as there is a problem with "SFC /scannow" giving the error "Verification 73% complete. Windows Resource Protection...

I totally agree. Microsoft seem to have lost the plot when it comes to giving long-time users what they want. They seem more interested in adding new features that only a minority want, advertise it...

OK. It's not too cluttered the way I have it - OneDrive, Libraries, Homegroup, and Control Panel are all collapsed, so aren't obtrusive.

It's a pity that the way Explorer is coded, when "Show All...

Hi Brink, :)

Thanks for your reply. I guess I just want Network and any folders that are actually located on the Desktop. So I don't want (don't use) Libraries or Homegroup. I don't really need...

I regret to report that I cannot remove the Libraries folder from the Navigation Pane in Windows 10 "Fall Creators Update" (64bit) - Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.19), using any of the 4 methods on...

After leaving the laptop for a few hours yesterday and re-checking for updates, Windows Update reported that update KB4032188 was ready to install! Whoop-dee-doo! So I let it install, which took...

<SNIP>

That was yesterday. Here is what I see tonight at Windows Update:

- and after clicking on "Download", it gets stuck at 0%. I'll leave it for a few hours.

But I think this...

So that makes 2 people who couldn't upgrade a major MS update over WiFi. Both my Samsung NC 10 netbook and Acer Extensa laptop got upgraded as soon as I plugged in their Ethernet cables. (See my...

...because the old Samsung NC10 (Atom N270 processor) and the old Acer Extensa (Pentium T2330) are both running 32bit Windows 10 (and got updated) and the Asus Ultrabook (Intel i7 3517U) is running...

I have 4 PCs running Windows 10. Two have updated to v1702, build 15063.502
They are:
- really old Samsung NC10 netbook (32bit Windows 10 on a 32bit machine)
- not quite so old Acer Extensa...

OK, not really a life-saver but, good grief, you've saved me some very frustrating time!

I think I must've accidentally dragged my Desktop folder up one place into the Cookies folder in Explorer's...

Thanks very much for your quick reply and for the link, Brink.

I've had a go using that method manually (i.e. no Macro) and it works fine.

I'll now modify the Macro and see if I can get it to...

I currently use a macro to change the size of text, apps, and other items from 150% to 100% and back to 150%.

When at 100% I can run Sysinternals' "BGinfo.exe" - Background Info - to update the...

I tried that. I went to Windows Update and found it was already stopped. I changed Automatic to Disabled, and clicked OK. Then I rebooted. I went to the downloads folder and saw it was Empty. So I...

Did you try what worked for me?:

I had the same problem. My Update History showed KB4019472 failed to install nine times since 11th May.

I stopped and disabled the "Windows Update" service, rebooted, deleted everything in the...

Hi tcebob - I have the exact same problem, i.e. "Point size should be between 5 and 72", and I think I may have found the reason.

My 13" laptop screen is 1920x1080 resolution so the fonts are...
