Hello, Wanted to upgrade to Windows 10 version 21H 1. The upgrade was downloaded, installed, but when I rebooted the system, everything was uninstalled and came back to the previous version ! How to solve this ? Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards.

For a few weeks I’ve had a couple of issues, I don’t know if related, with Updates. It may have to do with the October 2020 update v.20H2. [only because I have seen it] When I go to Start/Power, I get two options: Update and restart, Update and shutdown. When I do either, it starts the update...

Yes, I know how to create a System Restore Point with built-in dialog or 'wmic' or Powershell. But I want to know if it is possible to create a System Restore Point with the core Volume Shadow Copy tool "vssadmin" as well? Can I similarly at least perform a Restore from a previously created...

(Windows 10 pro)I started getting the BSOD inaccessible boot drive, so I googled it and most of the answers talked about an update a few years ago that caused it, but nothing recent. I tried a bunch of recovery options and using system restore to go back before the latest feature update worked...

Hi Thanks for calling in. I thought I'd be clever and 'have a go' at installing Android on my Windows Machine 'not a good idea' as half way through the installation it threw its legs up and decided it was not going to install. Now when I boot into Windows 10 I get GRUB and have to EXIT twice...
