So about 6 months ago my internet got shut off for a few days. I was still able to connect to an open wifi from my house. I then connected my laptop to my desktop using an ethernet cable. On the laptop all I had to do was go into the adapter properties and select to share the connection. Everything worked perfectly. Fast forward to now - the desktop refuses to connect to the laptop. Same open...

Currently, have the Mail App handling an Outlook and a gmail account, but, do not care for the Mail app. Is there a way to have my 2 accounts showing independently, and not using the Mail App any longer.

My computer auto-upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Though I am growing to like Windows 10, this screen timeout issue is actually causing me problems in my profession.

I have tried everything...

Sometimes, when I shutdown the system, I get the BSOD screen with error 139, it then shuts down and reboots. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, and it doesn't always do it, nor does there seem to be any bad aftereffects. Any suggestions/ideas? I'm a techie, so don't be afraid to use jargon ;) Last HD/RAM checks were clear of errors. Everything's on the latest rollups. Win 10 works fine...

To start off I've been trying to fix my computer for a week now and have had no success. I don't think it's malware, I've had Malwarebytes installed onto my computer for about a year now and have ran a scan multiple times with "Scan for rootkits" option turned on, since theses errors have occurred. I can run some games such as Osu! and Steam games. The errors that I receive after the up date are...

Before the anniversary update all of my Windows Store apps were working properly. Now some of the apps will start the app splash screen like it is going to launch, then it exits back to the desktop. I have searched the issue of windows store apps not running on the internet. I found basically 2 solutions and neither one works. They both involve running long commands from the powershell as admin....

I'm one of those that were hurt by the last week KB3194496 update, meaning it completely killed my USB ports and I'm unable to use mouse/keyboard/USB sticks. I uninstalled it to avoid such problems and after removal all worked perfectly. However as you know Win10 by default will automatically download and install new updates and today KB3194496 was auto-installed again. What's worse, it...

I was playing Creativerse, and my computer pulled a BSOD out of nowhere, with the 'lookup error' as CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION. Edit: I have corrected my oversight, and used the correct tool to do this. Originally I posted just a dump, and not the actual requested files. This has been changed.

After the large recent update to Windows 10, my HP Pavilion dv7 laptop no longer will open USB storage devices like SD cards or USB harddrives. The device is recognized and appears in the file browser, but when I try to open it, it is forever in the task of opening, the green bar at the top never quite reaching the end. This is true of every USB storage device I have tried.
