software issues

Hi, There was a little updating done a few days ago, a couple of hundred megs, however since then the computer has cut out three times. Does these mean anything? I don't use bluez so will disable that but not sure what these logs are saying? Windows 10 crashed the other day so might not be just...

Hello, I'm consistently getting this BSOD. I've updated drivers, reinstalled the game that seems to be causing the issue, run disc and mem checks, but I'm sure where to look next. Here is the error from the event viewer: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f...

My Dell Inspiron 15 3000-3552 (Win-10, v20H2) developed a weird problem a couple of updates ago. I still use Win Live Mail-2012 (WLM) and the new Edge, so when I click a URL link in an e-mail it starts Edge but stalls out forever. Of course, I reinstalled Edge and WLM with no help. However, when...

An offer from Microsoft Windows popped up a few weeks ago and I downloaded it on the expectation of it being an improvement but instead it has made life more difficult and I’d like to reverse the action. The download changed the background of many items so that the contrast was lessened, and...

So, I was tinkering around w/my Dell Latitude E6440 laptop some weeks ago, let's say a month now and I mistakenly changed my permissions. Now almost no programs work, not even Windows Explorer. See the attachments for the messages I get... "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or...
