windows community

Stardock Just saw that Stardock is having a 50% off everything sale. I remember using a couple pieces of their software back in the Windows XP days. So thought I'd just pass this along to my fellow Windows geeks! I don't know if this is true but seems like there is a lot less customization...

Last week we paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigated isolated reports of users missing files after updating. Given the serious nature of any data loss, we took the added precaution of pulling all 1809 media across all channels...

Hi everyone, my pc recently got infected with what I think is a virus and all folders in my drives including drive C(windows installed) have been HIDDEN. When I click on any of my drives the folder is empty. The only way I can access my files/folders is keying in the folder directory in the...

A new open-sourced tool is now available for the Windows Application Driver (WinAppDriver) community: the WinAppDriver UI Recorder tool. This tool will enable users to easily create automated UI tests. For those of you not familiar with WinAppDriver, it is a UI automation service for Windows 10...

Hello, I had a lovely session with a Windows support representative but I can't find a way to express how grateful I am for their help. I was able to press 5 stars to answer two questions about their performance but there was nowhere for me to write out my feedback to explain why I rated them so...

Hi. I know how to disable creation of thumbs.db, and now know how to delete them locally (using Disk Cleanup), but some were created on external drives before I had disabled creation of them, and it seems Disk Cleanup isn't able to access these drives. Any advice on deleting all thumbs.db files...

I found a thread on this subject from sometimes back but there was no good solution so I want to ask this again. I upgraded my computer with a much faster but much smaller SSD drive. There is way to move c:\Users\user_name to another drives but that's not a good way todo because you have to do...

Hi I was just reading about Windows 10 upgrade policy and it seems to indicate that users of Windows Vista (already screwed once, LOL) will not have the free upgrade offer even though the previous and post versions of Windows are eligible. If that's true it seems like a very strange option...

Hi Guys, I have heard good things about this forum so I thought I would join. Unfortunately I have been having a few issues over the last day or so. Basically evertime I open a folder in my internal back-up drivers it seems to intermittently boot me out and closes the window so I end back...

Last week it was on a few news sites and I saw it on CCN that russians hacked many big sites, but none where named, Apparently there were major companies hit. I have in the last few weeks had a big increase on numerous of my emails getting spammed so I can see a few must of got hit. I got an...

Hi I saw this article, if it's true I'm all in to start beta testing it. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/threshold-be-called-windows-9-ship-april-2015 I can't imagine that they wouldn't want to have a real beta testing, if they are going to make major changes and call it a new OS. I'm...

Hi Guys, I have a file that I can not delete. It is an .avi file that will not run in Media Player Classic or VLC so I figure that it is no good BUT I can't delete it. I went into dos and deleted it there or so I thought but all it did was get dos flashing a prompt dash. I had deleted a couple...

This one is totally awesome, fits right in with Windows 8 scheme. I'm sure you'll love it, give it a try, it's free. Add a Modern UI-style Start menu to Windows 7 or 8 Link Removed Enjoy Don

Hey all.. Now that I have your attention.. ;) I say again Windows 8 sucks.. That being said I will give it credit for being a great 'Alpha' build of a very interesting concept.. but in no way should be considered the next version of the Windows operating system.. ;) Let's just hope that...

Hi, all - I'm glad to have found this forum, it looks like I'll be hanging out here for quite a bit :) As a Windows 8 user of all of one week (but not a stranger to Windows in general), there's a lot of investigating to do and I'm reading as much as I can. I do have one question - Where on earth...
