It displays ‘Shutting down’ and the revolving dots rotate for about 10 seconds, then it...

Hi! I've noticed that my laptop's functions seem quite bogged down for about a week or so. Just everything slow to open, programs slow to execute, whether it's a browser or Outlook or even a folder in Explorer. I have had to click more than once with the mouse to get anything to execute, it's just not normal behaviour. I am trying to figure out if it is related to the latest update of...

I have a machine I have had for a few years and has been working fine. Suddenly a couple days ago Dropbox gave me an error that it couldn't start and said the error was 'usually because of a permissions error'. Since then, Photoshop will not start, saying it doesn't have access to some files it needs, and I have several other programs that are not working correctly with similar messages. My...

Start Magnifier at boot, and minimized

Hello Everyone, Windows' ease of use functionalities include a Magnifier tool which is very useful to me as a teacher. The pain is, it displays its window when started (instead of just running quietly in the background). I found this short thread addressing the matter, but the registry mod proposed did not change anything for me (by the way, I don't see how this trick could achieve the...

For several months, with no apparent reason or trigger, this strange floating window has appeared - its almost always in the way and sometimes is hard to get rid of. There is no way to close it, its not clickable - I seem to be only able to get it to go away by tabbing between programs. I have tried searching round to see if anyone else has this but have not found any reference to it. Hoping...

So I did some looking and found that you can check your RAM using Administrative Tools> Windows Memory Diagnostic, so I used it and it reported no problems. I...
