As the title describes, it happened this morning after charging it the night before to 100%, I disconnected the power source and had it on for a few minutes then turned if off. About nine hours later, I turn it one (without power chord) and it was at 33%!! I ran a powecfg report and the cycles (~100) and watts seem normal. I ran a sleep study and it showed a "abnormal shutdown" around the...

I have an old Photoshop app (v.5.5) I've always used as the default to open .bmp, .jpg, .png and .tiff pics. Of course Win10 insists that I use their own 'Photos' app. Pshop isn't listed in any pic extension I look under. It sort of looks like in Settings/Apps/Apps and Features there might be a way to add Pshop to be a Default if I 'Modify' it? So I hit 'Modify' and up comes this warning. ...

I image my C drive every other day so it only takes about 3 mins to restore, but that's not the point. All the icons on the desktop and folders in the C drive disappear. The text is left and you can click on the text and the shortcut still works. Both...

After the latest Windows 10 updates, I ensured all drivers are up to data, had clear out, deleted cookies and cache etc. Ran superantispyware, malwarebytes and ccleaner. All clear. I then ran speedtest.net in Firefox and also Chrome which I both use. I was getting about 30 Mbps download speeds. My package is for 100 Mbps. I then ran the...

changing Homescreen options

I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could change my homescreen to display a directory other than my desktop, for example my downloads, or pictures etc. The reason why I'm asking is because everything is being stored on the desktop under my OneDrive and I want to change it so that my homescreen displays my regular desktop, not the one under Onedrive. Thanks in advance!

The other was very smooth (Computer B). Despite all the problems I faced with A (many failed updates, issues getting off , I did get it to the point where...

Yesterday I was in a good place. My computer was working fine. I received an SSD drive and I was going to install it. When I tried to use the data transfer utility from Samsung, it failed. I tried 4 different programs, each with varying degrees of progress before failing. OK, something wrong with the drive, a bad sector in an uncommon place that won't disturb Windows 10 from running, but...
