I'm trying to use netplwiz to either change or eliminate my login password, but in order to do that I need the original password, which I've lost. Can any of you recommend a good password retrieval program that you trust? Thanks in advance. Toshiba laptop, Windows 10 Home, anniv. update.

Toshiba laptop, Widows 10 home anniversary. When I first turn on my computer, I need to log into that screen. Then, there's a 2nd screen that I need to log on to. My old laptop, running XP, needed only to log on to the first screen. Is there something I can do to eliminate one of these screens...

I recently installed Bitdefender Free AV to test it out and so far I'm pleased. It's already corralled two potentially malicious items. ( My setup: Toshiba laptop. Windows 10/64, Anniv edition) Any comments from the Forum on this program?

For a while now both volume keys plus the mute key have stopped working (ToshibaL55 series, W10 Home Anniversary). They had worked fine previously. I know the other ways to adjust volume, but I like the convenience of the keys. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi I've had this problem several times before, and never figured out how to correct it. When I installed the Anniversary Update it started working again, the way it's supposed to. Now when I ask Cortana to play my music, she says, "Sorry I can't seem to find any music locally or in your...

Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the "More" submenu and integrate its options into the main context menu? I believe this style was introduced in the Anniversary Update. Does anyone know why this was done?

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, L55 series, Windows 10 Anniversary OS. This laptop, and my previous Toshiba, stops battery charging at 80%. I imagine this promotes battery longevity. That being the case, is it desirable to regularly run on battery only until it's almost run down, or does that...

A free game is always nice and to that effect treat yourself to a free game from Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed 3. The month starts today 7/12/16 so there is still time if you can't get the game straight away. Ubisoft's servers are creaking a little due to the rush for this title so might be worth...

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...

HI all, I'm running Win 10 Pro 32-bit Anniv. Ed. I've created a DVD Repair Disc, a USB Recovery Drive, and a bootable ISO on DVD. I understand that the Repair Disc has an option to return to an earlier Restore Point. When would a USB Recovery Drive be needed, instead? What does it offer over a...

Using a pen and computer has an interesting history that goes farther back than you’d think. In 1888, the first patent for a “electric stylus device for capturing handwriting” was issued to Elisha Gray for the Telautograph. In fact, pen input was being used 20 years before mouse and GUI input...

Hey guys! I ran into a problem recently....I had this problem a couple months ago too, but then that went away with an update, but since I got the anniversary update, it started coming up again..... So, this box pops up time to time, or rather, every 5 minutes, unless I keep it open.... Its...
