Valve has set a firm deadline: beginning January 1, 2026, the Steam desktop client will stop receiving official support on 32‑bit editions of Windows, effectively freezing the client on any Windows 32‑bit machines and forcing the small remaining user base to migrate or accept an unsupported...

Valve is preparing to stop supporting 32‑bit editions of Windows — specifically Windows 10 (32‑bit) — on January 1, 2026, a move that will end official Steam client updates and platform support for the tiny fraction of Steam users still running a 32‑bit Windows host.

Application error while playing terraria. I have looked for help in the terraria forums, but they seem to come to the same general conclusion that it is a windows error not a terraria error. The crash only happens with terraria, no...
I have 6 PCs, all with Windows 10, and I would like to be able to share files between all of them. Perhaps my Main PC could have a Network Shared Folder on it, and then I would leave the Main PC on, and all the PCs would be able to access this Network Shared Folder. What is the best way to set...

Hi,
I'm new of this thread and I do not know if this is the right section of the forum. I'm under windows 10 1803 64 bit.
I have two scripts (.cmd and .ps1) which execute the same operation. The scripts work well if I run them from cmd or powershell while they do not work if I use schtasks.

I've recently been experiencing a reboot of my windows 10 PC with the above error message in events viewer. A few websites I've looked at have mentioned its related to out of date drivers so I've gone through all the obvious ones and they're all up to date. Does anyone know how I can fix this as...
This popup flashes on and off the screen so quickly i had to record my desktop and advance frame by frame to see it. When it happens, it seems to happen every few minutes or so and it says "Connecting, Please wait ...". I've run 3 different malware scans with no threats found, I've restored my...
Hey!
A couple of nights ago I let my Windows 10 "Update and Shut Down" but when I booted it up again the next morning it took literally 10-15 mins to get the lock screen. After this it took a further 5 minutes to get to my desktop when I typed in my password.
Applications take a minute or so...
Hi, I need urgent help with my Windows 10 64-bit. It was upgraded from win 8. was working fine. I turned off and turned back on after a few hours and it's not booting up any more. It's a laptop computer from Toshiba. All I get when I press on/off button is Toshiba logo, after a few seconds below...
I take a pictures on the phone and it syncs with One Drive, I have tried to disable One Drive, however the pictures still show up on the computer and on the start menu. It is an android phone.
And now I have a watermark on the most right bottom side of the screen that says: "Windows License valid for 90 days".
What that means? Why did I get this watermark? Will Windows become invalid, locked and unusable in 90 days? If yes then why? I got it for free. What should I do to remove this...
My PC has 4.00 GB RAM installed and since I am using windows 10, I have noticed in the Performance tab of Task Manager, that the allocated Memory is not more than 3.0 GB out of 4.0 GB. Why windows 10 restricts? It doesn't use 1 GB available for it and I must use this 1 GB. Most of the times (or...

Recently I've been having an issue with increasingly frequent and very random BSODs presenting themselves while my 2012 W7 desktop is under heavy stress, most often while playing games. They are hard to replicate, but seemingly ever-present (and at the worst times too). This has been plaguing my...
Hi I've encountered regular BSOD, the types include whae_uncorrectable_error and system_service_exception. There is actually a third but I couldn't recall what it is.
I've attached the dump files and I'm eager to begin troubleshooting.
My machine uses a 2HDD and an SSD for the OS, and this...
I downloaded the Win10_1607_English_x64.iso file and burned it to disk. I tried twice to install. Both attempts failed! After completely running through the installation, the first attempt gave the error 0xc1900101-0x40017 and the second attempt gave the error 0XC190010-0X4007. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! In...
