I actually did try Recuva, but it didn't recover more than 20 files, none of which were of any use to me. Does the startup repair process have to perform a system restore in order to uncorrupt the filesystem - or the MFT? I'm rather surprised that it would go through such a process without...

I am not near the computer at the moment, but it couldn't have been that because even the files I opened were gone. I didn't just lose some data, I lost all of it, after the computer spent hours transferring it to the other drive. There should have been something left.

It took a while to transfer, and I waited until the window detailing the processes closed. Also, as I said, I rebooted the HDD and the files were still there. I even opened a couple of them to make sure. It was AFTER this reboot that I unplugged the SSD.

I got rid of the account error, but as to whether I properly ejected the disk, I right clicked on the SSD icon but I didn't see an eject option so considering that I had finished transferring the data to it and wasn't using it at the moment, I decided to unplug the usb-sata converter directly...

I lost all my data because apparently external ssd's are not hot swappable. Here is how it went: I installed Windows 10 on the SSD and moved all files from the HDD to the SSD while running the OS on the HDD. Then I put the SSD in the laptop hard drive space and booted up, but there were no files...

Original OS was Windows 10 1607. Model is Dell Latitude E6420. Nothing that was suggested worked, so I guess 1703 doesn't support Intel graphics 3000. I will roll back to 1607.

I just ran the creator's update on my computer and everything worked fine, except now my Intel Graphics 3000 driver won't start, so Windows is using the generic display driver, causing occasional glitches on my screen. I tried to see if there was an update, but my graphics card is already...

Hello, I have a problem with my Dell Inspiron N7110 with Windows 10 Pro x64. First of all, when I installed the anniversary update, the computer updated and restarted. But when it booted up, lines of script came on the screen that said that the watch dog service was starting up (or something...

It's extremely long: Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.1.1_1.0.23115.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist. At line:1 char:28 + ... | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.I ...

Unfortunately, I have already tried that and it doesn't fix the problem. What happens is a list of red error messages appears below the command, and then yellow script in a green rectangle says that deployment operations are in progress. This is different from what happened on another computer I...

Windows action center on my computer has a message that won't go away: "Windows could not check for updates automatically." Other than this message, everything in Windows Update seems fine, especially the fact that it's updating automatically without a problem. Also, whenever I click the...

Recently I installed and AVG Web TuneUp. Then when I tried to uninstall it, the uninstaller ran, but the program did not uninstall, so I deleted all the registry entries having to do with Web TuneUp. Even when I did this, though, AVG Zen said that the program was disabled but not uninstalled. So...

There are a few things in Windows Update that have been bothering me lately, and they have been happening on two Windows 7 computers. I have tried a few things, but nothing has helped. On one of the computers, I receive the following error: "Windows could not check for updates automatically."...

Thanks a lot for the support. It looks like the troubleshooter fixed the problem. The only problem I encountered was that it said that two errors were fixed but that it did not fix the error code "0x80070057", but when I clicked "view details", it said that the error code was fixed, so I guess...
