Big problems today.... KB4465065 install. Said it would take some time, OK. Started d/l'ing. Took some time and then the reboot. Completed with a lot of disk thrashing. Then the reboot. Very long time and it said it would reboot a few times. Got to 27% slowly, with it staying at some...

When I tied to run this with 1803 t said the probable cause was an a/v interfering. I only have MBAM so I disabled it by right clicking and selecting "quit". When I ran system restore again the same thing happened. Can Windows be working against itself so I should disable ransomware etc.? I...

Hello: I am trying to sell a computer to someone else, and want to more or less sanitize my personal info from the computer. I secure-deleted the files with sensitive info, uninstalled my financial software, and then ran a program like Eraser that claimed to effectively wipe all free space. I...

I've got Windows 10 Pro 64bit installed on my system and the hard drive is showing me over 60GB of used space. When I open the C drive and unhide all folders and do a Properties, it shows just over 20GB of used space on my system drive. I'm trying to figure out where 40GB of files are hiding...

A couple of weeks ago I got a message that I had virtually no space on my C drive (3 x 40GB SSD in RAID 0). This was a big surprise. I am running Windows 7 PRO. I removed some restore points to get back to 7 GB of free space. I then did a disk cleanup to get to 11 GB. Since then, the free...

I am uncertain what the differences are between System Restore Points and Shadow Copies. Actually I need only System Restore Points. 1.) Can I use SRP without (!) Shadow Copies? 2.) When Shadow copies always necessary: Why are SRP invented? Why not using Shadow Copies only? 3.) Assume I...

Hi I don't know about everyone else but I find that Widows isn't very good at creating restore points where I sometimes wish I had one. For years I've used a program that quickly creates a restore point with no hassles when ever I want one. Installing some new program or installing some...

Assume I create a System Restore Point. Is a full Registry backup included? or only a partial backup for all branches which are core Windows 7 related? By the way: Is each SRP independent from the others? If I delete lets say the 3rd out of 5 SRPs. Are the two 2 SRPs following the third still...

Is there something unique about Windows 8.1 as to why there would be two user folders on my hard drive. I discovered this by accident this morning. I found the active folder that was updating my dropbox and onedrive folders, and I had to copy a file over from one user to the other that was not...

I've been having the biggest issues with my computer as of late, and need help fast.. Basically, my audio driver fails to work, and won't play sound. After digging around, I found out it was AVG quarantining files with Realtek drivers. I had AVG, but uninstalled deleting all of the stuff in the...

I know it is an old issue, but I never had to encounter it until now. I dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 TP. Win 7 is set as my default OS. Just now, I went to my Win 7 and check my restore points. The latest was Nov 14. That means I lost quite a few already. I went to my Win 10 and found out all...

I want to use the feature of System Restore Points but I don't want to use Volume Shadow Copies. Is it possible to disable the first but let the second feature be enabled? From what I read so far it does not become clear if this is possible at all. Are VSC a pre-condition to use SRPs? If...
