There are close to 300,000 files & folders in a typical Windows install. The notion of restoring them manually from a list is, frankly, ridiculous.
And every install of Windows is unique. There are...

Explorer will lie to you, and tell you a folder is empty, if your user account does not have
access permissions. Taking ownership of a file or folder does not change the permissions,
that is a...

In Microsoft-speak, the "boot" partition/drive is nothing else but the one that contains the operating system files, i.e. in most cases
would be the "C:" drive. Other people routinely use that term...

There really isn't any point in messing with Gmail filters to deal with unwanted messages, unless you're getting spam that is not recognized as such by Gmail. All you can do is "delete" them, which...

If you're using the the native Windows 10 unzipper, when you unzip a file, it appears as a folder, not a file. If you're looking for
a .pdf file, it won't be there. Instead, there will be a .pdf...

I had the same problem with the Settings app icon a while back. I solved it by right-clicking the (blank) Settings shortcut on the task bar,
selecting Properties then on the Shortcut tab of the...

"Display driver XXXXXXX has stopped responding ..." means your NVidia display driver has crashed. Ever since Win Vista, Windows has
had a watchdog process that monitors the display driver...

So it seems it's Chrome that's broken, or it's making broken shortcuts - not much to do with Windows 10.

No Windows program can run before Windows is loaded.
You probably need a bootable USB drive containing a Windows PE or RE environment, with a suitable utility on it to do the defrag.

Because visiting a single website can actually generate web requests to many, many different web addresses, sometimes in the hundreds.
Your browser is downloading ads, trackers, javascript files,...

Not in MY Windows. Never seen such a thing. Have no idea what a "kernel document" might be.

Just click at the top of the browser window, and drag the window back to the left.

You choose one of the formats in the menu that pops up to the right. In your case, I think you'd want to choose "plain text document". If you save it
as something like a .doc Word file, and you...

It is not Windows creating those files, it's whatever software you installed doing it. And likely yourself, as I've never seen any
software installing itself by default directly under C:\. Those...

Windows has routinely re-created most of my default shell folders, at every update, after I had deleted them.
On top of that, certain programs, such as Windows Media Player, will create any...

The system TEMP folder has special permissions: ordinary users can not even look inside that folder. It is for use, among other things, by system processes handling sensitive data.
Exposing that...

They are "directory junctions", a type of NTFS file system reparse point, deliberately set up by the designers of Windows. For the most part, they are hacks intended to save old
programs and...

In Windows 10, what appears to be the "edge" of a window is really not. Windows have a transparent border, with a 1 or 2 pixel line on the inside of that border.
It appears that Microsoft has...

You can disable notifications from Macrium Reflect in the Windows 10 Settings app.
It's at Settings > System > Notifications & Actions.

Never heard of such a thing. There's "Windows Powershell" at version 5; it comes by default with Windows 10 and 11, and is the final
version of Windows Powershell, as all subsequent versions are and...

This is a new behavior mandated by recent versions of Windows. It will blank the screen of the current user session before it activates the screensaver. For increased "security", dontcha know. I also...

Yes. Behavior might be dependent on which video driver is in charge. I've only experience with Intel video drivers. My first encounter with this stuff was in 2007, Windows Vista. Then, it took me 8...

Yes, my Device Manager shows the actual monitor manufacturer, model number, and connection method (analog(VGA) vs digital).
That's how it's supposed to work. If it doesn't, something has gone...

It's also a possibility that the OP's actual monitor is reporting an incorrect make&model #, or doing so
erratically. There's something apparently going wrong with the reading of OP's actual monitor...

When you click on the "Properties" menu item for any of the entries in the Device Manager, the dialog window that pops up has an "Events" tab. Clicking on that will show a list of events associated...
