Microsoft's Windows 10 won't allow the user to configure Windows updates or make any of the changes usually accessible with previous versions. At best, if your using a Pro or an Enterprise version, you can defer the update until later. In a perfect world this would be fine but from time to time...

Hi, Can anyone help me determine which programs/tasks are slowing down my laptop? My screenshots are below:

In the Control Panel Action Center I have Opted out of participating in the CEIP program (don't ever remember opting in). Here's what I see: Task scheduler Customer Experience Improvement Program (3 tasks) Consolidator (%SystemRoot%\System32\wsqmcons.exe) KernelCeipTask (Custom Handler)...

Anyone know of a program that can log when a particular process starts, finishes, what parameters are passed, cpu usage, etc. Process Explorer gives me that info but I have to be watching it to see the process in question. I have a rundll process that runs sometime in the morning that is using...

As a truly personal digital assistant, Cortana is there to help people get things done. When we set out to design Cortana, we talked to real world personal assistants and learned that they do a few things really well, and rely on a network of experts for everything else. Cortana is no...

I need to use this program for my programing class, each window search a different task. My problem is, it is very difficult to switch between those opened windows because they all look the same. When I go down the list, there is no animation show the list move because every window's name is...

hi guys. When I am playing games half way, I occasionally get auto alt-tab to desktop. It is very disruptive to my game. I went to check what is the cause of it by clicking on my volume icon and then click on mixer, I realise it is rundll32.exe that is causing the problem. Rundll32.exe will only...

Hi I've never seen this before and I don't know how to fix it. For some reason, when I click on something that opens a new window, the new window is opening behind the current window. I was just trying to copy a file, and paste it into a folder I have open in Windows Explorer. I tried it 3...

I find it an extreme annoyance. I would like to find a file manager that "virtually" strips out the entire roster of about 30+ redundant and unnecessary folders, and simply leaves a minimalist file tree. I can create three or four sub-directories for my particular tasks without the insane...

Ever since I upgraded my HDD to a SSD I have been suffering hung process's that refuse to end. I have tried cmd prompt which says the process is not running but it shows in task manager. I've tried process explorer & that does nothing & the only way I can get the process to end so I can re...

Actually, I only now realized, after some googling, that modern apps are suspended when you move away from them and do not run in the background. I use the modern apps so rarely that I haven't paid attention to their behavior. Two questions, or maybe a comment and a question: 1. That...

I have an issue, i have just started a Windows 7 Migration Project and i was originally brought in to do GPO, now i have bene asked to do something else and i am a little stuck. Basically we still run Windows XP on most of our machines but will start migrating over to 7 soon. We run a batch...

When I right-click on a JPG file then select Properties/Details and hover the cursor over the right half of the Comments row the expanded comments won't display for longer than 5 seconds. I've already tried increasing the Control Panel/Ease of Access Center/Make it easier to focus on...

I am accessing a remote computer through regular remote desktop. I have admin rights and all that good stuff and can schedule tasks. The problem that I'm having is when I select the option to "Run whether user is logged on or not" it does not work. It shows in the status as "Running". Even if I...

Link Removed How did they expect people to drag and drop a new folder without adding it to an existing one? No one can tell me they weren't going out of their way to make this as bad as possible. "List" is the only view that doesn't have these god damn rectangles, but then it's just one big...

Occasionally, I run into a process that won't die, even though the associated app has been closed, and even using the Task Manager"s "End Process" or "End Process Tree" fails to effect the process. That only way I've found to kill it is by rebooting, but of course, that is often very...
