Users can disable "Fast" Boot" in BIOS. But is there a way to check from a running Windows 10 if "Fast Boot" is currently enabled or not? Assume the local Windows 10 Pro was previously installed WITH enabled "Fast Boot" in UEFI-BIOS. Later (after installation) I disabled "Fast Boot". Will this...

Hi first things first: nothing irrelevant like changing your ISP (not possible), constant phone line services (they don't care) or anything of the sort we simply have a very bad internet (that has surprisingly good down bandwidth 8Mbit) we can only tinker with hoping windows will be more...

Hi Evertybody, I'm using Windows-10 (Home) and recently added a "guest" account that I call Visitor. I want to restrict the Visitor account from even opening certain applications, such as my private accounting and tax programs. How do I go about doing that?

I turned on my pc for the first time today and for some reason it seemed like windows updated by itself. I thought it was pretty weird but then i checked, EVERY single one of my settings, save files, and even my browsers data was gone. I was confused and tried to restore it but i didn't know...

My computer was being super slow, and I typed in misconfig in the search bar on the screen after it let me in. Then I checked a bunch of boxes that were running after hiding some boxes that I didn’t want to stop running, and now I can’t access my computer. It says that the pin is unavailable...

When my PC emerges from sleep mode, I am confronted first with a Microsoft Spotlight screen, followed by a login screen. The latter is just a button labeled "Login". I would like to bypass these screens and go straight to my home desktop screen. I've tried the Lockscreen options under...

This is the dumbest addition to Windows, period. Pressing Shift 5 times and it popping up, remove it. It shouldn't ever even be on. It should always default off and inaccessible unless you SELECT to turn it on. I play games where hitting shift in rapid succession is common, and being pulled...

Hello, When I click on the internet icon on the taskbar, I see about a dozen names of other people or companies. The box next to the names is checked off and it states "connected automatically". I am concerned about this. Should I? I unchecked the all the boxes but then all the boxes...

I have 2 gmail accounts. Today,one of them showed up in Russian. A long time ago, I had a similar problem, but that time it appeared to be Chinese. So I went ahead and changed passwords on both accounts as a precaution. I don't remember what I did for the Chinese situation, but perhaps the...

For most of the last several days, my computer's sound output (using nVidia GeForce GTX 750) has been slowed down by 80 or 90%! How can that possibly happen? Usually a reboot doesn't fix the problem. Even when I run the audio troubleshooter, the sound frequencies remain absurdly low. At one...
