Good day, all I'm new here, and this is my 1st post. What brings me here, is that the Start menu's Help and Support is not functioning. The same can be said, when I attempt to use the toolbar's Help/View Help. The F1 key is useless, as well. I can't figure out what happened to the...

For the past 2 weeks (approximately), when I click "Shut Down" on my Win 8 laptop, nothing happens. If I click "Sleep," it goes to sleep right away, but it will not shut down. I see by the forum posts that my problem isn't unique. I have tried all three methods described in the post...

Free Commander is my file manager of choice...at least it has been for a number of years now. However, since the last install of the OS it has become useless, because it freezes every time that I try to use it and has to be forced to close with the Task Manager. I'm using the latest version...
