cortana

My pc Start menu, Search bar, Microsoft store, Windows Security, Photos app, and Cortana has stopped responding and working.

Recently the blank search has been hitting many people. There are many fixes out there but if there are still problems for people, try going to task manager> windows explorer and press restart. Worked for me, maybe will help you all out there. Cheers.

The last time Windows Search worked was today at 15:30, then I shut my laptop down and when I turned it back on, boom didn't work. I've tried everything, from restarting the process itself in task manager to re-installing packages in Windows Powershell. But nothing seems to work, troubleshooting...

Anyone have suggestions on which folders to exclude from Windows Search?

I recently upgraded to the latest Windows 10...

I need an intermediary device because apparently the TV I got my daughter doesn't do 5.1 sounds. Netflix won't work. So instead of the frilly bullsh** of "surround sound", can someone please tell me if there is any numbers on the back of a speaker to tell if it is 2.1 or 5.1? I'm just a...

Two years ago, we started writing about DRAMless SSDs designed to reduce the cost of flash-based storage further. OEM products arrived earlier in the year, and today they arrive for retail consumption. The big attraction is the stocking-stuffer pricing. OCZ's TL100 DRAM-less SSD Starts At $45...

I would like to try and play hearthstone at 120 fps instead of 60. When I set the cap to 160, my gpu maxes out its clocks, which makes my temps rise to 60-62c (the fans don't really kick in till 65 I think). Which makes me a little weary to do other things that involve the gpu because of extra...
