There was some registry entries missing that pertained to explorer. While I was able to resolve explorer not opening, I never managed to figure out how to fix the other primary issue. I attempted a repair on the installation but said it could not repair it. I decided the headache was no longer...

Need detailed specs. Other than double checking that ALL components have been seated properly, we need to make sure your new motherboard is compatible with your old hardware. Just because its a new board doesn't necessarily mean it can work with your new CPU. Sometimes the bios on a new board...

I have ownership of the files. Given that I can perform all operations using other means than the explorer drag/drop method, I'd say the issue is starting to point towards a corrupted explorer or something. I performed the following commands: sfc /scannow DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image...

New harddrive, fresh win10 install. Have all current updates. Copied data from old harddrive to new harddrive, no problem. Then out of nowhere, I can no longer move any file on any drive. And I don't mean just between drives, I mean any file from any location. I can create and delete, just...

Am I missing something here? Are folks trying to remove their card with the PC still on?

yes it's static. The PC having the issue did not have a static IP and even though I've done nothing since then, the name resolves to the NAS once again on it. I am going to make that PC static however (as is most of my network)

The samba share is hosted through TrueNAS. I have one computer (Windows 10 Pro) connecting to the share just fine. I just setup a new computer, fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. On TrueNAS I created a new user for the share. First attempt to connect from the new machine it worked. After a...

I ended up finding my win7 cd and and tried a restore. It was from 2017 but resolved the issue, but no telling how many other security updates I may have lost doing that. Would you know of any website maintaining legacy updates for windows?

I have an old Asus N55S laptop I bought back in 2012 with Win 7 (home premium). Haven't used it in years because the network stopped working, both wired and wireless. I recently picked up a USB wifi adapter to try and use the laptop but ended up with the same issue. It'll say I've connected to...

Wasn't sure where to put this but hopefully someone can explain this crap to me in a way that makes sense. FB added end-to-end ecryption to messenger. From the browser, my settings show it's turned off and nothing has appeared differently. But on my phone, the messenger app forced me to create...

Yes there are several .mov files. But I think the issue is Windows (or possibly hardware). When I copy a single image over, the image immediately following it also gets overwritten with the same data. Name stays the same but it duplicates what I copy over. To test a theory, I copied an image...

Transferring from an iphone connected over usb to windows 10 has never exactly been smooth, but I'm having more trouble than usual. Trying to copy several gigs of images from the phone but I can't do it in one transfer, it'll fail and I'll have no idea where it stopped at, so I've been doing it...

It's common to have the neutral and ground bars bonded inside the main panel, it might even be code. (on subpanels the bars must remain separate) Because of this, I've seen people install newer outlets into homes that did not have a ground and will use a jumper wire on the outlet connecting the...

sounds like a driver issue

That did the trick, though it's not exactly straightforward on how you set different wallpaper per screen. MS could improve this a lot, or at least fix the bug that's apparently still present in 11 as I read.
