I tried to reply earlier but it seems not to have posted. Thank you for your interest. I tried your suggestion and it did not work. Then I tried somethings that I should have tried before doing the original post. I copied from the NAS to a spare internal hard drive, and it copied at the...

Thanks for your help, but none of these work (caviat, I did not try the PowerShell option). They either give the message that it cannot be removed because it is open or they do not have an "Eject" option. Frustrating, eh?

Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned in my original post that (with Windows 11) I have allowed the USB drive to sit idle for several hours before trying again to safely eject it. It still will not eject. Also, before when using Windows 10, I often would need to close Windows...

I upgraded from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro on Dell XPS 8940 purchased 2 years ago. I upgraded a few months ago when Windows Update said my computer was ready. The upgrade went smoothly with no issues. I frequently attach a USB external drive to the computer and back up large files to it...

I upgraded from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro on Dell XPS 8940 purchased 2 years ago. I upgraded a few months ago when Windows Update said my computer was ready. The upgrade went smoothly with no issues. I have a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit attached through my router with gigabit...

I have three computers (Dell Desktop XPS-8700), HP laptop Envy X360 M6-AQ105DX, and Microsoft Surface Pro 4). The surface Pro 4 has Bitlocker disabled. All three run Windows 10 Pro and have SSDs as their main drives. The desktop has a secondary spinning drive and the Surface Pro 4 has a, SDXC...

Sorry if I caused any confusion. With Win 8, I had created a shortcut to the 64 bit version of IE and stored it in the Start Menu folder under my user name. When I updated to Win 8.1, Win 8.1 deleted that shortcut, so I recreated it. I can, of course, pin that shortcut to the Start page, but...

I tried the suggestion from davehc. Basically, everything was set as he specified, but I undid and redid everything again. No change. I also tried the suggestion of pinning it to the start page. When I typed Internet Explorer in the search box, the only "program" that showed up is a shortcut...

I have a desktop and laptop that I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and now to Windows 8.1. A few days ago Internet Explorer 11 disappeared from the modern UI on both machines (I do synchronize settings with SkyDrive). It woks fine in the desktop interface. I frankly don't use in in the...

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks

Thanks, I tried this, but I do not see any option to ignore this message. See screen shot.

Everything went smoothly when I updated my desktop computer to Win 8.1. However, I now have a persistent message in the Action Center (see attached). It tells me to update my backup settings, but if I click the "Set up backup" button, nothing happens. I understand that the Image Backup tool...

Thank you. I did clear cookies when I deleted history. I have tried your suggestion above without any success. When I used ctrl+F5, the page went blank for a second and when it came back, it was still showing the old MSN. I refreshed, and then restarted IE10, but no change. Thanks for...

I have two HP computers, a desktop and a laptop. I manually installed Win 8 Pro 64 bit on both machines. This problem concerns IE10 in the desktop (not modern UI) on my laptop computer. On the desktop computer, when I go to msn.com, I see the new Windows 8 version of MSN. When I do the...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
