How do I save the settings page like I want it? I move the tiles around and set up like I want them but when I return it will not stay. Help

After recently updating to Windows 10 v.1809 the tiles on Metro start page will not stay when I set them up like I want them. For example, I keep the Settings tile in a specific place on the page on all my PCs and since updating tiles will not keep the setup like I want to. How do I save the...

I use Vipre Advanced Security and have for many years. I use CCleaner and Malwarebytes. I had no problem with programs not working until I updated to Creator's update. In fact, the programs were working well until I had to do the reset of my Windows 10 Creator's update. Does not seem right...

Yes, I have tried setting the compatibility for the one program I especially need to use and have it set for Window 8. It did work with Windows 10 prior to updating to Windows 10 Creators, but now the troubleshooter comes up with result "incompatible program". The program is still installed and...

I have checked for updates several times and it shows I have the latest version. The troubleshooter shows incompatible program but the website shows the version works with Windows 10. My question is does Creator's Update not allow some 3rd party software work? Seems a shame to cancel out lots...

I have several programs which were working fine with Windows 10 before update to Creator's update. They now show as incompatible. Is there some way we can restore function of those programs without having to purchase all new software?

Hello, My friend recently (in the past month) bought a refurbished Dell computer from Wal-Mart. Everything seems to work fine. The problem she is having with it is that when she does 'shut-down' for the night it randomly restarts. No set amount of time just it restarts. They keep the PC in...

Hello, My daughter's PC, Windows 7 32 bit, all of a sudden started running chkdsk everytime it is booted up. How do we stop this behavior? Her antivirus is up to date and very efficient so we don't know what the computer is checking for. Please advise as it is driving her crazy. Thanks, pvanc

Just an update....I tried the Virtual Windows XP and could not get it to work with the old DOS cookbook. So I finally installed DosBox on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop. Carefully followed the commands and lo and behold I now have access to my cookbook on the 64-bit computer...

Drew, Thanks for your directions. I was able to get my Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit on desktop back up and running to some extent. It is still acting funny. I would like to just do an upgrade installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, have the disk and key. I got the install going and it went...

I have a 32-bit copy of Windows7 Ultimate which I tried to use on the 32-bit desktop. I have a 64-bit copy which I used on the 64-bit laptop. I now am unable to get the desktop to boot up. And I have a key for the Anytime Upgrade for both 32 and 64 bit, different key for each computer. That...

Drew. I am now trying to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop which is 32-bit. I tried doing it by using Windows Upgrade Anytime. Tried several times and after a few minutes the upgrade fails ( it went smoothly on the 64-bit laptop). So I tried doing the...
