Device setup downloaded from HP support fails even after neutralizing firewall, defender, Kaspersky and taking ownership on ProgramData\HP & Program Files (86)\HP Installations say I don't have access to...

Macrium Reflect had a problem

0
0
A few weeks ago I created an image of my C-drive on an external drive. It is still there, I can see it in . This morning I tried to restore the image to my PC. Macrium does NOT see the image for some ungodly reason. That seems to be my luck ever since I got Windows 10. Does Windows 10 have a backup and restore function? If so how reliable is it?

Last chance before my Linx 7 tablet becomes a paperweight: I don't use the tablet much but it was fine yesterday. It downloaded and installed the September release (before either of our 2 laptops has received it!) but when it finally returned to the windows screen and I tried to sign in with my PIN I couldn't as the keyboard doesn't come up onscreen any more. The first time this happened I...

My windows got randomly deactivated today for the first time in years

0
0
The only thing I did is update my adobe flash and my avast anti virus. I used my key to activate my windows again and it worked. However this is very disturbing. I've never had to do this before. What can I do to ensure I don't have to do this again? Because we all know you can only activate or better said "rearm" your windows very few times before your key is turned invalid.

Dell replaced my motherboard and hard drive under warranty. I re-installed Windows 10 Pro from the Dell recovery partition. Everything was fine, bu I see that my Windows is not activated. Why is that. I first bought this laptop in May 2017, and When I went through the first time new user account setup wizard, I used a Microsoft account, so I know my Windows copy was linked to my Microsoft...

Is there anyway to partition a USB drive into 2 separate "drives" ? So i got a 128GB usb thumb drive, i can partition it into 2 64GB partitions, however, with the way android works, if i format it to work as internal and select one 64GB partition, android will format the entire 128GB drive and encrypt it so only my phone can use it. i can't plug it into any other computer and use the 2nd 64GB...

Sigh. SOLVED. I'll leave my original post, below, with a strikethrough. Just after posting this (from "D"), I decided to poke at something else. Computer B had an issue the other day where it did not show banners from a website I wanted to allow banners. I use Kaspersky. To solve that problem, I performed a Kaspersky "reset". It worked. Banners came up where I wanted them. Computer D...

Hi, I have a dual boot computer with Acronis 2018 on windows 10 and Acronis 2010 on windows 7. I mainly use windows 10 these days that has Acronis 2018 installed.

This is a full backup with no...

Changing Boot Order

0
0
Having found my way into the BIOS to change the boot order I am faced with 4 options. Which one do I select? I want the PC to call first on a USB Recovery Drive, created with Macrium Reflect. Should I go back to BIOS to make a note of the options and list them here, as I guess they may be different for different machines?

Black Screen Of Death

I see that the BSOD section is only for Blue Screen, but what about Black Screen which I now get every time after about an hour after Booting. What makes it more problematic is that the PC crashes and cannot be re-started until after an hour plus of none use, despite frequently pressing the power button.
