One morning recently, I found that during the night an update had occurred and rebooted my pc without asking me for confirmation. The reboot caused it to come up in Linux, because I use the grub loader and have Linux as the default. When I rebooted into Windows, it finished the update, which...

Hello,
Since I have updated my Sony Vaio SVE1512P1EB laptop to Windows 10, several BSOD problems have occured. Most of the time it says 'Faulty hardware page corrupted' but sometimes a 'System thread exception not handled' error is given. A couple of days ago it also said 'Memory management'...
I have a hovering text on my screen that is coming from another window
( another opened Chrome window )
Why does it happen, and how can i get rid of it without rebooting ?

Hi, I updated to windows ten today, and when everything came back up and I signed in, Google Chrome was nowhere to be found. It wasn't in my programs, and there were no folders with Chrome. I've re-downloaded Chrome, but my hundreds of bookmarks are gone! They no longer exist. My internet...

Why is it I get a 'no data received' error whenever I try to access some websites? I tried to open the websites with both Edge and Chrome, both came back with the same error. Yet, when I try to access the sites using Android, I have no problems at all.

I can never download any zip files! This has been a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 10! When I try this happens:

Question. When Avast Free is installed Chrome takes a second to open but the homepage takes 6-7 seconds to open. IE, Firefox and Opera all open in a second and the homepage pops up a second later. When Bitdefender Free, or AVG Free was installed I never had this problem. Any ideas ?
Hi guys,
First of all, let me say that I am a very tech savy person. I've been using windows since the 90s, used almost build computers, and code websites.. so most of the 'basic' trouble shooting I have done already.
I have spent hours trying to find fixes for these problems.
I have a 2012...
