They are many weeks I've been struggling with sharing issue on my network and as it is said "a picture is worth a thousand words" so here what is happening and what I don't understand. Does someone have a clue ? Of course, files & folders sharing is set, all on the same workgroup, network...

Installed NVME to desktop motherboard, I only had a small screw that fit well in the motherboard hole. Unfortunately it was about 2mm too small, and the NVME is bent slightly downward, instead of being flat, like normal. I have installed many NVMEs into many laptops, desktops, I know how to do...

Hello to anyone reading this. Thanks for your interest. I'm trying to help the aunt of a friend of mine. She doesn't remember her account password (I know) and would like to get back into her account. There's a lot of back story to this that I won't bore you with. The computer is a desktop Asus...

I am seeking help as networking is not my field. I have a Windows 10 Desktop and a Windows 11 Lenovo Laptop. Both are on the same WORKGROUP private network. My Desktop is hard wired to my Vodafone router and my laptop is connected to the same network by Wi-Fi. On my Windows 10 Desktop (under...

Hi there since December 24th, my Windows 11 desktop is not loading anymore after I logged in. The only things I can do is open the windows task manager or display the shutdown icon which I use (holding the SHIFT key while press reboot icon) to do a system recovery from a few days before. With...

I turned off my computer, a Dell OptiPlex 7060, as I do every day and when I came back to it the next day it started with what looked like it was reinstalling windows. When it finally opened it had a completely different opening screen and the desktop had my icons but not my screen. I googles...

Hey. So like a year ago I got some water on my Dell g3 and the battery got fucked up (also the keyboard). I can't spend on a battery right now because I have to import it from another country and it's kinda expensive. So I unplugged the battery and I'm using the laptop plugged in all the time...

When I mouse over the icon it says "search". I *think* the icon was for an email client that I used to use and recently uninstalled, Mailbird. Right clicking on the icon does nothing. The icon is not visible in taskbar settings.

When I reinstalled os (factory reset win10), it loaded this mess again into my pc, which I don't want. I did manage to "uninstall" it, but the remnants are still there. I'm especially bothered by the confusion of the normal desktop with this one, which is in the c:\users\name\OneDrive\Desktop...

On my Windows 10 desktop server I have been running auto startup (no password needed). Suddenly today startup is asking for a password on startup. It is showing two identical userid, one of which uses the normal password and the other is a new one. Investigation said to use netplwiz to...

Hello, I've had a nice setup for myself and my family using Win 10 and Onedrive for cloud based files that served either as a backup or ability to share between people. With recently installing Win11 on a couple of computers (first my wife's Surface, and now my personal laptop) everything moved...

Hello! System specs below. Whenever I shutdown and start up my computer I notice in the error log that an "unexpected shutdown has occurred (error 6008)." I'm not having any trouble with shutdowns. I do occasionally seem to have trouble on startup with the computer sending a signal to the...

Everytime i delete this it always come back. can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?

I've set all my icons to small, but they're spaced so far that it still takes up too much real estate on my desktop. I've tried editing registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics = Iconspacing -500 but it didn't change anything.

Windows Server 2022. No puedo hacer clic ni arrastrar elementos del escritorio, incluidos accesos directos, iconos y ventanas (como las ventanas del explorador). Se agradece cualquier idea sobre esto.

Windows has always liked opening new Windows Explorer windows in random places on my desktop. Does anyone know of a Windows Explorer toolbar button (or system tray icon) that moves current window to certain position (that I set) on my display?

Windows 11 File Explorer navigation pane allows for some folders to be pinned, but not others. It allows desktop to be pinned, but not documents folder, pictures folder. I have changed several settings many times, but it does not fix it.

I'm not sure if this is even the right forum or the right part of the Windows Forum, but here goes; please guide me to the right places, if you know of a better one. A little background, so you know what I'm trying to accomplish...if it, indeed, is even possible to do: (This is not going to be...

Hello No matter how many times I change the position of the desktop background photos in windows 7 and 10 to center or fit and save them, but it automatically returns to fill mode after 2 seconds??!!😔😔☹️
