Win10 64 Bit aon an Asrock H470 Mini-PC. Regular display is connected via HDMI cable. Works fine alone. Sometimes I want to use a second display simultaneously. It is an older VGA monitor (1280x1024 resolution) connected with a VGA cable to the VGA outlet of the computer. After turning it on and...

Customer service replied that they had a miscofigured update server. Again uninstall, install and hope. A lot of time wasted....

I had purchased four fixed permanent licenses of GoodSync in the past, until V.10 I received updates. From V.11 on they moved to an annual subscription plan. So I stayed with V.10 for a long time. Today the program refused to do its job and explained that I only had a free license with limited...

Win10 64bit. I have installed notepad++ and wanted to make it the default app to open .txt files. When trying to change the default editor I am not offered notepad++, only other software I also had installed previously, but most of them are not even editors. How can I make it the default editor?

I had a similar problem with scanner and mini-PC on my other location, with Paperport 11, a Canon USB- LIDE 70 and a Canon USB- DR-2010C. Out of nowhere (after a Windows Update?) the document scanner would not work properly. Solution was the use of a dedicated uninstaller software (Ashampoo...

Thanks for the input. The LIDE 60 Canon scanner is a USB-scanner. The working Brother document scanner is connected via WLAN to my home network, so I doubt whether the network card might be the culprit. As it turned out, the solution was using different compatibility configs of the software.

The scanner was not offered in the list of scanners, i.e. Paperport did not find it There was no log file which I could find. I had done that several times before, with and without removing the scanner software without success That worked. I ran in compatibility mode for XP and suddenly the...

Desktop 1: Windows 10 64bit + Canon Lide 60 scanner + Brother ADS-1100W scanner + Paperport 11 software has been used since spring 2021, regular Windows Updates without problems. I know that Paperport 11 is from pre-win10 times, but it still works perfectly with the two scanners. And also Canon...

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed Process Explorer but when running it, I did not understand very much what it displayed. But I have come along with a solution, which popped up in my mind. I have two LAN cards in my desktop, both attached via LAN cable to the switch in my home network, both...

After replacement of a harddisk in my NAS I want to shovel back about 1 TB files from my PC win10 64 bit to it. Tried it first with robocopy. File transfers ended when some mp4, some tif files were to be copied. Error message - Other app using them. Resource monitor showed no handles to these...

Wow, unbelievable. It worked!!! After spending many frustrating hours finally the solution. The explanation is that access to the original Win 7 installation worked when it had not installed the updates. After a few days it got all the updates including the toxic KB4480970. Thank Your very much...

Several Windows 10 machines in my home network communicating without problem. Some month ago I added a Windows 7 machine, which was accessible for a while, thereafter it was only found but no files accessible any more. Now another newly installed Windows 7 machine shows the same problem. I have...
