A strange folder appeared on my Windows 10 desktop. It is filled with the same folders and files filling my desktop. If I delete a folder or file within this unusual folder, the same folder or file is also deleted on my desktop. I suspect the desktop will be emptied of all files & folders if I...

My desktop is NOT public, wife and I only use it. So I'm not worried about saving passwords. But that function seems to have vanished with the latest win10 updates. Or is something else causing this? Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

My desktop finished updating Windows 10 this morning, after which I got the dreaded "black screen". Has anyone else encountered this recently? I tried to call Microsoft, but evidently they no longer take phone calls and want you to go online to Just Answer for which there is a charge. If you're...

The Windows 10 October 2020 Update has started to become available to customers as a free update. This year has continued to bring about change for many of us. Change in how we connect to one another, how we work, how we learn, even how we have fun. And that change is starting to feel more...

I turned on my Windows 10 PC and noticed all my desktop icons were gone, with the exception of Recycle Bin. The Search box is also gone. The toolbar icons appear intact. Never seen that happen before. Any idea what may have happened, and is it possible to revert the situation back to normal...

I have a relatively new desktop running Windows 10. Recently it started waking from hibernation (I haven’t tested it with sleep mode, but I assume it would do the same) every 5 minutes from approximately midnight until approximately 2:00 AM. When I say every 5 minutes I mean exactly every 5...

I recently installed WallpaperWebPage, by common suggestion. Because I did not like the look, I uninstalled it. However, my wallpaper is stuck as the url. Can I fix this without using a restore point?

I want to have notifications on, but only want them to pop up when they're received, instead of like 50 new notifications popping up on my screen whenever i turn my pc on, blocking off that part of my screen for multiple minutes. It drives me nuts.

I recently installed some “upgrade and security fixes,” and now nothing is acting right. Minutes prior to the updates I had just installed a new GPU, but had no problems in the time between the GPU instillation and the updates. I tried Google but no one seemed to be having the same problem as...

I'm experiencing performace issues with Windows 10. For example, I can't easily move shortcuts on the desktop. When I click on a shortcut it opens the shortcut before I can drag it to a new position. In Word, I can't select sentences or phrases. It doesn't get the whole sentence when I try to...

Usually my system (windows 10 desktop) is extremely reliable and fast. Every once in a while I mis-type something (probably involving a special key such as control or alt) And things go crazy. Certain keys stop working (e.g. backspace). after a little frustration and banging of keys a voice...
