Looks like File History typically runs forever or is aborted without error messages. The log files suggest that lots of files were not successfully backed up, without specifics: Unable to finish backup cycle for configuration ...

Does anybody know how to disable the web search capability of file explorer? Sometimes when I mistype something into the address bar of File Explorer, it will take whatever I typed in and search the term for bing (assuming whatever I typed isn't a path or a program). Does anybody know how to disable this feature entirely, preferably through the registry?

The apps created using an earlier version of Windows does not work. The favorites are gone and so do the Download folder. Every time computer is started, the 'Getting ready' shows up. All shortcuts from previous boot gone. Summary (http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2018/08/installing-new-insider-preview-of_4.html) here again. Any suggestions? Stay with it, or revert to previous build.:confused...

Hi, I have windows 10 on my acer aspire ES 15 laptop. I have encountered an issue where whenever I key a letter or number my laptop beeps and the letter or number i type appears twice. Locking the modifier key in sticky keys does nothing. Turning on the filter keys prevents the double keystroke but makes typing and using the backspace key painfully difficult on even the lowest delay setting and...

W-10: Upgrade CPU - Does it invalidate product key registration?

I did the free upgrade from W-7 to W-10 via a clean install where I used my Lenovo's MS product key. As I understand it when this was done MS records certain hardware information along with the product key so that it cannot be used on another PC. I now want to upgrade the CPU on my PC. The motherboard will remain the same. The new CPU is from the same manufacturer with the same model #. The...

Latest build Network discovery takes a LONG time (works though)

$

Hi there Network discovery seems to take an age to run - even for as little as 4 computers on the network. This is after latest W10 build. OK it finds all the machines but a long time - especially when you do a Refresh. Samba finds all the machines in seconds - or less. However at least Windows finds all the machines now - so that's got to be an improvement. Cheers jimbo

Hi folks When I try and update to Insider via Windows update it at boot (having done the updates) on one rogue machine fails and rolls back to before the update. Download the .iso and update from within Windows (note W10 can mount isos - no prob) works perfectly What's the difference (note in both cases an update not clean install). Why is W10 so unpredictable --I like most of it. ...

Hello forum For some reason it seems my bookmark folders have gone a horrible gray colour and all the fonts have gone smaller, I really do not like this look at all, it looks cold and unfriendly if you can say that about a bookmark page :-) I am betting that this question has been asked before but I have been looking on search engines for a few days without finding an answer, now discovered...

I'd like a trackpad setting so that a swipe from corner to mid-point moves the cursor from corner to corner. With 'Touchpad Sensitivity' set to 'Most Sensitive' the ratio is less than 1:1. I just this morning updated the Asus driver via Device Manager. No issues. Windows is up to date. Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you.

I noticed that starting 1st Aug. every day a restore point is created (Windows Modules Installer). Looking to which updates I received, I noticed that, starting 15 July, Defender Definition Updates were successfully installed every day and often 3 updates/day (possibly with every PC start). This behaviour is different from the past (both frequency as creating a restore point). Did something...
