Well, it didn't work. Amended the code to show the system reason. When "drn" contains, "e:", the actual optical drive ID, the system message is "Access denied." With anything else it reports can't...
Thank you very much!
My program deals solely with read-only optical disks -- no flashdrive, so I believe that a drastic shortening of your example will work. Here is the resulting code. It...
I'm writing a C program for Windows that deals specifically with lettered optical drives. From the dearth of information, I gather no easy solution exists for programmatically ejecting such a disk. ...
Sigh.
Under Control Panel\Nework and Sharing Center\Change advanced sharing settings\All Networks\Password protected sharing, I would have sworn that password protection was checked off, but when...

I've operated this private wired LAN for several years but now with the advent of Windows 10, passwords seem to be no longer avoidable. Even "TeamViewer"...
(Tip to everyone: Don't click "Mark Solved" until you have clicked "Post Quick Reply." Apparently I just lost the previous "Quick Reply" by doing that.)

To dalchina: I have applied the reverse of the "Replace Cortana Icon ..." suggestion, tried to follow the complex instructions in the "Hide or Show ..." tutorials where applicable and rebooted with...
To Techjourney: I ran the reinstall all apps command as Administrator and got the following results:

Apparently my "prt scr" will not capture the boxes produced by Win-S and right-clicking the taskbar, but I assure you that the Win-S box contains nothing like your off-center-holed floppy disk and...

Regret to report no improvement. Re-ran the "ctfmon" suggestion, also with no effect. Many enablement suggestions call for clicking on the "Notebook Icon," supposedly visible after clicking the...
Correction! The problem was white space in the word, "DisableDevelopmentMo de"
Now it has run to completion. I'll report after restart on whether it made a difference.
The "ctfmon" suggestion had no discernible effect. Trying the Powershell suggestion resulted in the following:
"cmdlet Add-AppxPackage at command pipeline position 1

Clearing out the "Action Center" apparently solved everything. Thanks for all the suggestions!
On the advice of kingtez1984 I installed Avira anti-virus, which claimed to have found and "quarantined" a couple of malware programs. Since then only the following has appeared:

Thank you,...
When I touch-slidein from the right, settings is mentioned only in "All settings." Touching that gives me "Windows Settings." Touching the icons "System" / "Notifications & actions" results among...
I'll try to catch one. They grab my attention with an audio signal but last only a few seconds. The only one that lingers is from Microsoft, warning me that the Windows Firewall is turned off,...
Running Windows 10 on 64-bit ASUS M32 PC
Short of switching to Linux, how can I suppress the popup ads that have begun appearing on the Windows desktop since the last update from Microsoft?

Life is a tradeoff of protection vs. convenience. I choose convenience. The sensitive data on my network have other protections.

I don't want a secured LAN, properly or otherwise. I want a LAN (note hardwired and very...
Operating a wired Ethernet LAN that connects this Windows-10 computer with other Windows-8.1, Windows-7 and Linux computers, I am constantly frustrated by demands for user IDs and passwords when...
Thanks. But I'm disappointed. This "bottomless 8" looks a lot like an upside-down Taurus. I hoped it had some cosmic significance but obviously I was expecting too much. It certainly fits with...
What does the bottomless 8 mean, the one that appears on the Windows-10 login screen?
