Anyone have any idea?

I think I found something about this online: "To enable you to roll back to previous updates, updates are stored in the WinSxS store even after they are superseded by later updates. Therefore, after you run the Disk Cleanup wizard, you may be unable to roll back to a superseded update. If you...

Oh yeah and I looked back into what the 2nd button was called. It was called "Clean up system files". So you right click Windows (C) drive and click properties, click the "Disk Cleanup" button and on the next screen click "Clean up system files", and that's where on the list of items with boxes...

Basically if you delete those old windows updates can it no longer system restore back to those old updates? Is that where it gets the files from? Stored on your computer even though you don't use them currently, not downloaded online from windows?

When you right click Windows (C) drive and click properties, and then "Disk Cleanup" there's a 2nd button you can click to scan again and one of the things there is an option to cleanup/remove are old windows updates. It says it never deletes old windows updates even if it downloaded a newer...

Ok thanks SR-71. Yeah I didn't see anything and I figure that is something minor they might not have listed even if something reset it. To add some more information that makes it even weirder in my opinion - I checked another computer that I gave to my Dad to use and asked him about it. It...

Ok thanks SR-71! Is there anywhere people can check patch notes or something to see if it lists this somewhere? I tried checking the View Details > More Information for some of the Windows Update history but didn't find anything relevant there when I briefly checked.

I noticed today that my Windows 7 User Account Picture was changed and I did not change it myself. I had it set as a default windows marbles picture and it was changed to another default windows picture of an orange flower. It kind of freaked me out when I saw this. Could this have been...

Ok thanks for the help deker glad to have assurance I didn't screw anything up by fiddling around, ty

Oh you can manually select the DVD like that anyway? Cool thanks didn't know that. I think it seemed exactly the same speed even when I had my SSD first, so now I think I want to just revert it back to what it was, I just don't remember exactly because I didn't write that down. Yeah I figure it...

Hello. I have an Asus Z97-Pro motherboard; the front page EZ mode of the bios screen looks like this (googled a screenshot): http://www.legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/asus-z97-pro-wifi-bios-1-645x483.jpg On the right there under boot priority it only shows three items for me. It...

Anyone know that can answer that? ^ (do Avast scans always take longer when they detect a virus, even if it's a false positive) Want to make sure it's not just me and not unusual. Sorry, don't want to spam open another topic.

Ok that's good to know, thanks hedwar. Yeah I only use my one HDD exclusively for steam because I want to have enough space on it. Another question I thought of if anyone knows is does Avast / any antivirus always take way longer to scan every single time it detects a virus? I assume this is...

Hello. I use the free version of Avast antivirus and it has given me multiple false positives, mostly from random game exe files in my steam common folder. So I decided I think I am going to try keeping an exclusion for this folder and it won't be regularly scanned in my full system scans. Is...
