I bought a widow 10 pro key on auction and got everything installed. The installation never asked for any key so i went into activation settings and clicked on chage key. Windows gave an error that the key did not work. I reported it to the seller and another was sent that did the same...

Hello One long-standing feature of Windows really, REALLY p*sses me off. All I want it that when I click on an icon on the taskbar, I want to be taken to that application. Every time. With no exceptions. However, it seems that in Windows, the SECOND time you click on any application, it takes...

I have read at multiple places that the file 'svchost.exe' should only be in the 'System32' folder. I searched my PC and this file is also present in the 'SysWOW64' folder. Does this mean that there is a virus/malware? Note:- I have also read at wikipedia that this file has one of its image...

Without getting too deep into the various features of libraries, I'd like to know their basic purpose. I have found them just getting in my way, but I'm afraid that deleting items in them will actually delete the same items where they really belong, if that makes any sense.

Hey everyone. I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and since then the numlock light on the keyboard is constantly going on and off randomly - every 20-30 seconds or so. Once it goes off, if I turn it back on it turns off again instantly the first time and then stays on the second time...

Hi, I'm kind of curious as to what Windows decides to list in the Processes list and the Details list. I'm confused as to why there are far more listed executable files in the Details tab than in the processes tab. Is this because Details lists everything with and without a UI? Thanks.

An answer to this question may clear up my confusion: Can the C: drive be part of a pool, having all drives (including the c: drive) look like 1 drive? If so, how do I do that? I created a storage space, but it made me set it up as drive D:, and I see no way to combine it with C:. To clarify...

I tend to use "app" to refer to the metro apps and "program" to refer to things like excel or Word. But in W10 menus, "app" seems to refer to both which I find confusing. Why the blurring of the distinction? Thanks.

Hello! (My first thread here!) My mom bought a laptop online (I know how it sounds...). It's Lenovo's Thinkpad x240. Problem is, it appears to be running a pirated Windows 7. (Also it's not a clean installation, but just a computer that somebody used for some time. So I'd like to format it.) I...
