Can anyone recommend free software which might be able to recover files which have experienced corruption. The files are on a camera SD card. When I view the file structure some of the contents of...

For anyone else having problems with their computer not going into sleep state and have tried all the usual powercfg commands this is for you.

I checked the following and was none the wiser:

I created a basic second user account on my Windows 10 computer, I also use Google Chrome extensively. I was miffed to find out that simply logging out of Google in that second Win10 account does not...

I've been trialling Xbox Game Pass for PC for evaluating FS2020 for the past two months and I've not really used it due to time constraints. So I thought I'd go in and cancel it tonight before I get...

Yep, so far so has mine :D There does not seem to be a repeat of the sleep issues. I'm going to take your suggestion of sleeping the updates for 7 days but can I safely assume that anything related...

Regarding....
Log entry @17:45 The previous system shutdown at 17:24:10 on ‎03/‎03/‎2021 was unexpected. (Event ID 6008)

Thanks will take a look, puzzled about the other log entry though :)

The 'flashing cursor' no longer flashed and seemed frozen and could not be moved though was able to move the mouse pointer, use the keyboard but when I tried to chose sleep or hibernate nothing...

No problems with this party continuing as is :party:

Doesn't look like it is. There may be a very cut down trial version.

So effectively with this software your PC account admin or not can be hacked and broken into. I've never had to do this but I would have thought there are plenty of instructional videos on YT already...

I did now :chuckle:

But regardless the situation is ridiculous.

Scenario: If you wake me I'll ask you for a password. If you reboot I won't. Hence the whole reason for a password being active...

Well err, just as well you didn't hear the expletives :mad: what were ushering forth from my mouth a couple of days ago when for the umpteenth time my Windows desktop wasn't doing what I thought it...

Is that what they call a silver lining?

:o Just had another look at my device manager and this time I carefully went down the entire list not just HIDs, mice & keyboards to find a sneaky little entry called something like 'smart card...

This is a new second-hand computer so a fresh install of windows, drivers & BIOS done in the last month or two. I'm sure I've done it but will purposely try what you say to see if that helps with the...

I'm working on a friend's desktop trying to get to the bottom of an issue with sleep mode. I've got her to remove her PIN for convenience. After she completed this step and on reboot she was prompted...

I'm looking at a friend's computer where we can't stop the keyboard from waking the computer. Note I have another ongoing thread on here where my desktop won't go into sleep mode reliably!! Honestly...

When will MS resolve this once and for all. It's all very well for those of us who sub to these forums and tinker with computers but for the vast majority of people who've never even seen a command...

I do appreciate the replies but I haven't had time to try these on my PC yet and when I do I'll update. thanks again
