Hi. How do I fix this? Every time I login to my Windows Account, it says "Preparing your Desktop" or something like that, and when it finally does, my settings are not from this account. Instead it logs me in as "temporary account" and therefore nothing saves. How do I have it to log in and have...

I got a 5tb drive, and since I wanted it to be one large partition I used gpt. Windows recognized the disk, formatted it, and let me copy files. But when I restarted windows it froze on the "starting windows" screen. I figured out after some messing around that unplugging the drive lets windows...

I was trying to reset my computer which is running Windows 10 but about half way through the reset it said something like it failed to reset and then just turned off. When I turned it back on I tried to boot it from the "choose an operating system" boot menu as always, but once I chose Windows...

Hi I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way that build 10074 is working. I haven't had issues with my sound and Cortana seems to be working pretty reliably. Some things don't load at startup or coming out of sleep mode some time. But there is one thing that's not, and that's the right...
