1 Asker : We now have Windows Server 2019. For some reason, not all workstations connect to it. I'm writing this now on one tablet, which will see the File History and Client Backup disks on the server. The other tablet only sees (opens) those discs when I click on the disc, not without the...

Hello, Forum Mates. Since I updated my Windows 10 files the other day, a large amount of music files, which I knew were somehow displaced, but which didn't harm my home screen, started to populate what should be my home screen. I have tried to delete them, but the recycle basket disappeared...

Hello all, I have several issues with Windows 10, but I shall try to keep each question limited to one topic. A quick history: I bought a new HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p027 computer in November of 2017. The only "original" problem I had was video-related, and I won't go into that here. I...

My situation is this. I have an 11 year old laptop. This is now ONLY used as a display for a weather station, using a proprietary Windows XP application, so I am not interested in any new Windows features that 1803 might bring. Nevertheless up until now I have let all upgrades proceed. Now...
