Where are the key combinations you assign for a shortcut to start a program stored? For instance if I go to the properties of a program icon and assign Ctrl-Alt-S as a shortcut, where in the registry is it stored? I have one, and only one program the shortcut key stopped working. If I try to...

I am attempting to install TurboTax2021 on my Dell XPS8900 SSD drive. I first tried to install from the CD and then from the downloaded software which TurboTax suggested I download, and both times I get a message saying "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package...

Most people who have two partitions will have the older version of Windows on the first partition. So, they will have this same problem. I agree that Microsoft should fix this problem since the only work around is reinstalling everything on the opposite partitions. It seems like it would be an...

Update: The problem was the partition that the Windows programs were installed on. Even though you can't physically see where the files are stored on the hard drive, I reinstalled both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on both the hard drive and the SSD drive, on the opposite partitions where...

Before you say that's the problem, I removed the SSD and attempted to update the hard drive with the same result, so the drives are not the issue. Both times I disconnected everything other than the...

I am starting to wonder if the problem is the partition the boot sector is on. Since the other three computers updated with no issues, there must be something different with this computer. Drive designations are the same on all three, peripherals are all the same, the only difference is that...

As I stated, I disconnected everything other than mouse and keyboard with no luck. The computer keeps attempting the upgrade with the same result. There...

I have tried multiple times to upgrade my Windows 10 (Build 10240) Dell XPS8900 PC to the anniversary edition only to have the update fail with the error 0x80073B92 – 0x20009. It says the system failed in the safe_OS with an error during prepare_rollback operation. I get the message when the...

It appears that it has to do with the dual boot on the same disk I'm trying to update. Even though it seems Windows updates are working, the build number remains the same.

I have Windows 10 Pro Build 10240. If I run the Windows media creation tool and run the latest update, I get an error 0x80073B92-020009. If I look up the error the information provided pertains to Windows server 2012, so I don’t know what to do. I have a Dell XPS8900, dual boot Windows 8.1 and...
