Within the past week, my PC started cutting off during one specific game. It initially started immediately after the game loaded, but now it happens randomly during the duration of the game, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes never. *Things that don't make sense to me: *This occurs only during the game, which leads me to believe it's an overclocking issue or bad graphics card, but: ...

Desktop App Assure explained

---Quote--- We recently made a promise I’ve been hoping to make for a long time: if an app works on a previous version of Windows and, when you update to the latest version of Windows 10, it stops working, we’ll fix it for free. This is a big deal to me personally, because we’ve finally found a way to share the risk. You see, in the past, every time we released a build of Windows, we came...

I'm trying to have all image files open in Windows Photo Viewer instead of the new Photos app. I already edited my registry to get the option to use WPV, and have successfully associated .jpg files with it. I have tried many times to associate other extensions, too, but none of them have saved. I have even removed Photos (the app) from my system, in the hopes that it would allow me to select a...

The problem has become an extreme nuisance for many users, especially those who have worked here for years like the owners. It appears to be related to the fact that our company is paying for our domain and office licenses from GoDaddy rather than Microsoft. And have been that way since Office 365 was first introduced [FONT="&amp] [/FONT]The problems seem to be mostly when using Outlook. When...

Suddenly, I cannot change my file association to the program I want. For example, I want to change ".txt" to use "notepad2.exe", not the default "notepad". Recently I was able to do that. If I right-click, properties, and choose my "notepad2", the change won't take effect. It will still stay the default notepad. And using windows 10 "choose default applications by file type", I can only...

I've read...

Hi. I've recently performed a reset on my laptop due to some issues and when I performed a Disk Cleanup, it found that Previous Windows Installations consumes about 124GB of my drive. Will it be safe to delete this without losing the ability to perform another system reset in the future? Just wanted to make sure that deleting these files do not remove the option since I found Reset to be quite...
