Hi I'm currently having a strange problem related to my firewall, Ethernet connection, and security. I'm sure they're linked. Basically, I'm unable to add exclusions to Windows Defender and I get this message: I'm not even able to turn off Real-time Protection either. Then, when I tried...

Hi all, I am using Windows 10 Pro. In my downloads folder under users/name/downloads I can't move or cut and paste multiple files or folders. I can drag and drop files and folders one at a time and then delete the remaining file from downloads one at a time, but if I select more than one then...

On Win11 after doing a windows update (1 security update installed) I restarted my computer to find my main external storage drive was not accessible and the icon was a white sheet of paper instead of the drive icon. I could not eject it at first - it said it was in use by something. After...

I am setting up a Dell XPS13+ for my wife. I need her to be able to access files on my desktop (a home built computer we'll call D7). When I click on Network in File Explorer, a D7 icon shows up along with several icons for PCs on the network. I click on D7 and icons show up for each shared...

Hi, Looking for some advice on manually deleting game files from the WindowsApps folder. I need to do this because I tried to uninstall a game which did not work and now my computer thinks that it is uninstalled when it actually isn't. I'm making a post here as I have read and heard about people...

I enabled full access to every single drive and folder imaginable on this PC. I bought it, built it from scratch, created the video myself, and all I want to do is trim it down to a few seconds. I am going absolutely bonkers trying to figure out why I get "It looks like you don't have permission...

Was playing Arma 3 for a few hours then it randomly closed right to desktop, so I thought it cashed and tried launching it again. Launched it, then it closed itself 5 seconds after launching. Okay weird. I tried validating the files and they were 100% fine but it kept happening. So I tried to...

So, My PC is throwing 32,000 errors a day mainly at boot because it wants to make a new sru and sruJET folder in Windows then System32 but it cant because the entire directory is "read only". I have followed EVERY trick and or hack and article blaming this on Windows updates, used a tool to...

At some point, which I'm afraid I don't know when it happened, I lost some of my access, or some programs lost some access to the C drive. I looked at my permissions and they haven't changed, but as I've never run into this before I never really took note of the general permissions for programs...

Hello everyone! I'm a middle school teacher, and our school started to use Microsoft teams as a remote platform. I have been signed as an "owner" in each class I teach in the school, and the students as "members". the question is: am I the superior role in the team? or is there a higher "admin"...

I had around 400 or so .tmp folders in the root of my C drive and could only delete them by changing their permissions one-by-one. Getting annoyed at this, I looked up some solutions and ran a couple of commands in the command prompt. While I successfully deleted the files, I realized that I...

Alright. I have Windows 10 OS Build 1909. There were some new updates on Windows Update that wouldn't install properly, kept getting error 0xe0000100. I tried doing some troubleshooting - did DISM, SFC, Reset Windows Update, Some Group Policy tweaks. Never got it to work, but I somehow...

I have a question that might be a little hard to answer and maybe software specific but any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me out with this problem. I encased my old laptop hd (1Tb Seagate HDD SATA) because there were significant problems. I connected the now external hd to my new laptop (via USB C) and changed the permissions on all folders and subfolders to "Everyone"...

They say that the path to hell is paved with good intentions. I was at my elderly neighbors' place and noticed their Asus X555 laptop bulging badly enough that the trackpad had separated from the top cover. I pointed out that it was time for a new battery which they ordered. I replaced it and...

Hello, I am setting up a FreeNAS 11.2 server, which I will be using for a decent speed SMB multi-channel storage server. SMB isn't set up yet, and I am just trying to get the server connected to my main PC over one ethernet cable. I am able to access the web interface via the DHCP IP address...

My pc had been acting funny. nvidia control panel wouldn't open because it apparently didn't have permissions to access the files. All of the folders in my pc were set to "read-only" for some reason. I looked online and decided to give the C: drive permissions to my administrator user with full...

Should I use the default YCbCr option or RGB? Why? My system specs are below. This option I'm asking about is in the AMD Radeon Configurations, on the monitor options. Yesterday I noticed a site that has white and light grey backgrounds isn't showing properly. Light grey background can't be...

I build my gaming PC around 5 years ago. I put a lot of money into the original build but I was still in high school so I still went kinda budget. The PC back then was amazing, 300 frames on any games I could think of (BF3 and 4 I think). Pretty intense games. Currently, my PC can barely run...

So this is something I'm noticing in Apex lately and as I've done a lot of changes to my system recently I think it's worth checking everything I'm seeing is correct with some people who know more than I do. Overall I suspect the issue is with my CPU as I can see in Task Manager it's almost...
