What happens if it is disabled? I have a perfectly working Acronis backup image of the entire drive, so do I need WRE at all? I love it that I can simply go back to all my updates, apps, and preferences reinstalled with my image. I am using Windows 10.

Thank you, GPT. I had tried those things already. No dice. So, I slashed and burned in a fit of rage - I formatted the drive. :)

There is a folder on the root of my external drive with three dots as the name which suddenly appeared mysteriously on my external drive this morning. This folder is on the root of my external drive, E:. I don't want t delete it unless I know its contents. I tried to move it and it said it was...

Thank you for these great instructions and lightning fast reply. I got it working. I had done all the steps you have mentioned, but left out a crucial step - I did not have "Everyone" under Security, which I thought I had added. Once I added it, I'm rocking. Cheers.

Using Windows 10 on both PC and laptop each with a logical D: drive. I can ping each other as they are both on the same Ethernet connection. I can also see the contents of the PC's D: drive from the laptop. However, I am unable to see the contents of the laptop's D: drive from the PC. I do see...

Every time I try to copy "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file " I am trying to copy large .TIB files image files from my C: drive to an external drive connected directly to the PC. I AM admin on this computer but am not using the Administrator account. The actual...

I have a PC running Windows running Windows 10 ver. 22H2 and a laptop running the same, except for a minor variation in the build, on my home network. Both have an OS partition and a Data partition. I want to access the Data partition of the other from each machine, but cannot. I am able to see...

I am running Windows 10 Pro. A certain application had been working flawlessly all these years. It works perfectly on my May 2021 drive image backup. However, today, it behaves erratically. What is the best way to isolate any particular update(s) that might be causing this issue so that I can...

I have an application that worked on my image backup from May. However, today, it is behaving erratically. Is there way to isolate which particular update is responsible for this? And, how do I selectively turn it, and only that one, off?

Have you run tests on the SSD? I bought one recently to install in my older HP machine and it has been solid!

I had this problem once before. Instead of screwing around, I re-imaged the machine. Then, installed questionable software one by one, each time running it heavily for a day before installing the next one. That fixed it for me after days of wasting my time. It was an app! If it blue screens...

My Windows 10 PC was working just fine all along. But now, it gives me this screen with no option to proceed. No buttons, nothing. I tried to do a System Restore but now, the DVD drive (which used to appear in the boot menu before) is no longer appears in the boot menu. Any ideas how I can...

Turned out that it was a Windows update that screwed me over - SURPRISE!! Anyway, without pulling out any more hair, I simply rolled back my system restore point to the beginning of the month because I knew I did not have this problem then! Miraculously, it fixed the issue. Of course, I am...

Sorry, Neemobeer, my euphoria was premature. It happened again today, though the services I had set to Automatic remained as is. So, that is not where the problem lies.
