Windows 11 brings many sleek new features, yet sometimes, Microsoft has peculiar constraints baked into its operating system. One such oddity? The inability to rename the User folder easily after it's created during setup. If you're stuck with a cryptic, abbreviated mishmash of letters...

Hello, I am using Windows 11, and I have the old Windows Media Player legacy. I created a huge playlist of perhaps 1,000 songs. The playlist worked well. Days later, now the playlist never works, an error says it cannot find the original songs in the playlist. To view the code of the playlist...

There is a Media folder in my Windows 11 PC which I need to rename. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it, but surely there must be. Can anyone suggest a method? No reply needed, solved.

In previous editions of Windows it was my experience that stores would be filed in \users\username\Documents (or another sub folder such as Music). I just installed Windows 11, electing to have files backed up in onedrive. I copied files into Documents, Music, Pictures, et. When I go to...

All the options just kind of disappeared. Various methods I've tried and failed include: shell:startup ctrl+alt+del startup menu Windows Settings>Apps>Startup /ProgramData/ path to the startup folder (created one to see if it'd populate, it didn't) /AppData/ path to the startup...

I have a system that refuses to boot to Windows 10 Professional (64-bit), and I think I need to do a reinstall. The advanced boot options is available, but it will not go into safe mode. I can however get the command line, and it recognizes both robocopy and xcopy. Assume that C is the hard...

I'm setting up a new computer and when my user was created the User Folder used the first five letters of my email address (which is ugly). I modified the folder name and adjusted the HKEY_USERS value. However, some work apparently had been done prior and I corrected the names in all the other...

Hello! This is gonna be an odd post in this section, considering that my problems are unrelated to server usage altogether, but maybe someone can help me out here. I got a copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 from the Dreamspark program years ago by attending college. I decided I wanted to use this...

Win 10 1809 Somehow my libraries are all over the place. My main query is how to sort out my libraries please. I tried using their properties and location but the location I choose is rejected. I tried an option I found to restore libraries to default but that didn't work. The problem is...

Surface Pro-specific glaring issues: - horrible backlight bleed on 99% of devices (as deduced from accounts of users all over the world). Not even gonna elaborate on that, there's a separate 22-pages thread about it on MS forums. - auto-hibernation issue - same. - power drain in sleep...

I've come across a weird issue in Windows 10 Pro x64 1703. In C:\Users\ Windows 10 repeatedly shows 2 weirdly named User folders. I look in Control Panel>User Accounts and as expected I'm the only user. I delete these 2 bogus folders numerous times a day and they contantly re-appear...
