I have a small video clip of my wife frolicking on the BEACH in Hawaii that I took with my iPhone. I downloaded the 40 second clip to my hard drive. How do I add music to the video so I can add it to my Facebook.


AAOHere is a possible solution. I have not ever used it. Found in a Google search.

I have a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10, and I am on a very, very slow Hughesnet connection.  (12kbs not kidding)  The problem is, when Windows 10 decides to update it takes FOREVER and I can't do anything else with my computer while it is downloading.  It has been stuck at 47% download for the last 6 hours, and I can't find a way to cancel it out.  It look 5 minutes for my aol email account to LOAD up.  Is there a way to cancel the download and time it for later in the evening?  Thanks Isn't there any option related to Cancel Download or you can just restart the system? Well, I don't think there is a way. unlike the previous versions of windows, windows 10 doesn't give user to cancel UPDATES or select which updates should be installed. The only solution to reverting back to previous versions of windows or you can wait it out (leave your PC on overnight).  Hope I could help.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3085136/windows/two-ways-to-control-or-stop-windows-10-updates.htmlI had left it on 'til late last night, however, when I turned it on this morning it was still at 47%, then in no time it said it had downloaded the update and was ready for a restart, which is what I did, and it seems to be running a LITTLE quicker.  I did go in and change the update times to between 8:00PM and 2:00PM, when I normally do not use the computer. 

I did check out the hyperlink provided by Allan, and unfortunately, at this location, I have to use Ethernet and for the Windows 10 Home version you couldn't tweak it as can be done for the other Win 10 versions.  If I had Win 10 Pro or better I could have done it for either WiFi or Ethernet.

Thank you all for your input.  It is very much appreciated.

Above image is the error that I believe is causing my computer to freeze.

Friend of MINE came to me this morning asking if I had a Windows 10 Repair Disc that he could use as for his system is now stuck in a Windows 10 boot loop. Curious if all Windows 10 Repair Discs are the same or if they are created specifically (dynamically) for that build/PC to where they wont work WELL in other Windows 10 systems needing repairing?

I asked which version of Windows he upgraded from and he said he upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The good thing there is that thats the same version I upgraded from on my one system that has Windows 10 on it.

Was wondering if I can create a Repair Disc for Windows 10 and it would help fix his issue or if he is out of luck and should have created one for his build that is corrupted?

Additionally, I cant seem to locate it, but I thought I read here at some point about Microsoft making ISO's available for download for Windows 10 so that if he needed to he could also try a repair installation using the Windows 10 Installation Disc, but havent found the link. If this is available if anyone has the link to that, that would also be helpful.

I asked him why he didnt create the recovery media or repair disc for his system and the answer I got was that well all problems he had in the past were able to be corrected by using repair tools. Asked him if he thinks he could have gotten nailed by a virus and he said no he just plays GAMES through steam client and so no unsafe download and installations.Here Ya Go...Cool THANKS!!!Windows 8 or 10 allows you to create a recovery drive (USB) or system repair disc (CD or DVD) that can be used to troubleshoot and restore your COMPUTER. Each type of recovery media gives you access to Windows’ advanced startup options.
http://www.howtogeek.com/131907/how-to-create-and-use-a-recovery-drive-or-system-repair-disc-in-windows-8/

You can also copy your computer’s recovery partition to the drive, creating a backup copy. After you create the backup copy, Windows will allow you to remove the recovery partition from your computer, freeing up gigabytes of space.3
A recovery drive will normally not be necessary. If your computer fails to boot several times, Windows 8 or 10 will automatically bring up the advanced startup options, which allows you to troubleshoot and fix it.
http://www.ieenews.com/change-startup-programs-windows-7-8-windows-10/

If Windows can’t even bring up these tools, you’ll need the recovery drive, system repair disc, or a Windows 8 or 10 installation disc. Insert the recovery media into your computer and restart. Your computer should boot from the recovery media automatically. (If it doesn’t, you may need to change its boot order.)He cant make a repair disc if the system won't boot...

I do not want to type down wrong assumptions. Please ask questions and I will answer to the best of my abilities. I hope we can trouble-shoot this.We cannot troubleshoot without details...

What are your temps like ? ?

Looks like those are under idle...try it under load.

Sure...thats after all when it crashes...

You can test your temperatures here.

I have copied the coordinates from the bottom of a Google Earth display on another PC, into the G.E. search box on MY PC. I can not get G.E. to go to that location. How can I fix that ? Googlewebsite seems to provide NO option for asking it questions.It's likely the SYNTAX of the copied location...
I would try typing it in manually instead of copy/paste...I did type it in. Originally with out the ° symbol; but even when I added that, it would make no move. It has NO trouble going to places spelled out in letters.You don't need any spaces, commas or symbols.  In fact the degree, minutes and SECONDS symbols may cause problems if characters are used to display them which Google Earth doesn't understand.  This can happen with coordinates copied from some websites.

In your example jmharris4 you can use any of the following:
47° 42' 09.83"n, 10° 56' 19.47"e
47 42 09.83n, 10 56 19.47e
47 42 09.83n 10 56 19.47e

I hope it helps. I copied and pasted the last line of your coordinates, and GE DID respond, Puzzled why it would not respond to mine, unless it was because of the 'lat' and 'lon' which APPEARS at the bottom of the GE screen, which I had included.As mentioned in my post, degree, minutes and seconds symbols may cause problems. Or even in some versions, letters like d or n may also cause it to not recognize the coordinates. Glad you were ABLE to resolve the issue.

Hello i just purchased a new laptop it is the HP Envy 15-as050na 15.6" and upon starting it up all looked fine until i started viewing websites i usually do and the colours of most THINGS look different! White looks cream, purple looks pink and it generally has a washed out look to it except for very intense bright colours. It seems too yellow/warm COLOURED. I have tried calibrating it, changing its hue and saturation, checkings its graphics card is up to date but nothing has worked. Im now so worried that this is just what its SCREEN looks like due to an artical i found from 2012 about what would have been an old Envy model, HP saying that colours would look different on it to other screens. Surely this has been fixed by now and if not you should be warned before purchase. I am devastated as i spent alot on this laptop(for me anyway) and i need it for college doing digital art, well if it cant show colours correctly its useless to me. The thing is if its not a fault PC world wont take it back according to their terms and conditions as i bought it in store.
Please does anyone know anything about this sort of problem or maybe even this laptop and what its display is usually like? Or if it actually is a genuine fault so i can return it? Thank you for your helpIf athe coloors are off, it is a defect.
This does happen and it is a common problem. You should not have  to repair or calibrate a new laptop.

A test image:

You should insiste ther vendor return it to the  maker.

I'd return it under warranty, but copy your data to external drive and perform a system recovery to like new out of box before giving it back.

I bought a $999 returned computer at $280 discount for $719 at a big name office supplies store chain that sells computers and the computer was sold to me with the prior owners information still on it. I performed the clean install process that the store or prior owner should have DONE to wipe it clean and make it fresh like new again without the prior owners data. Prior owner had Quicken installed with personal info and more and I shook my head at how stupid the prior owner and the office supply chain store was to just sell it as an open box returned computer without regard of data security. Fortunately I'm one of the good guys, but there are others out there who given the opportunity would have run with that info and caused trouble.The main troubleshooting step is testing the video output on an external monitor (or TV). You can connect your laptop to an external monitor using VGA cable, DVI cable, HDMI cable or S-Video cable, it depends on a type of connector you have. If the external screen is showing right color resolution, than there is fault in your laptop resolution (for which I'd ALSO recommend claiming your warranty asap, since it's new) but if the external one is also showing off colors, than there is the problem with your graphics card.

Ever since I have UPGRADED to Win 10, on my desktop 'thumbs.db' icons have been appearing. I constantly delete them, after some time they re-appear. Is there any way I'd be able to delete them temporarily? START - run - gpedit.msc (press enter)

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer

Double-click “Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files” option and set it to “Enabled”.Help appreciated,I have been able to (finally) get RID of those thumbs.db icons. But still I am just curious why do they appear? I mean does this has to do with caches?

I was TRYING to disable driver signature. After restarting the COMPUTER, I cannot press F7 to disable as the keys on the keybord do not work.

I cannot also press DEL or F11 to enter the BIOS and choose BOOT methods as well.

Once the computer is finished booting, the keyboard works fine.

Why it does not work before booting?

It is a USB keyboard.Turn on Legacy devices in the BIOS...But i cannot enter bios as the keyboard led light is on after i get the screen where to say to enter bios.Or it might be the keyboard itself. I also have USB keyboard and some of my letter keys didn't work,in the end found out it was the keybard itself. Try checking with another keyboard it the same keys ain't working on that one too. i solved it. it was fastboot on biosI thought you STATED you couldn't enter BIOS...i disable fastboot by pressing power button continuously. it will shut down your computer after turning on. then turn on again it works.

Prior to the update my computer never froze, SUDDENLY one day after the update it happens non-stop.

I Google and found out a lot of people are affected.

Is there anyone that can help me so I do not need to wipe my computer...I took the liberty of removing your Sig....not what we do here.

patio.Yesterday I decided to re-install my 1607 Win10 32 bit.
Took all day. I wanted a dual boot install with WINDOWS XP and Windows 10. How to repair and instal a number of TIMES. I lost count. 
When done, Cortana did not KNOW who I was.

I have a Dell UltraSharp U2516D which supports 2560x1440 60Hz mode.

Highest options Windows 10 will show me (from Display Options and also the List All Modes box) are 1920x1080 and 2048x1080.

I've installed the latest drivers for my card NVidia GTX 560, from the NVidia website.

I'm using a DVI - HDMI cable to connect (HDMI port on monitor, DVI from GRAPHICS card).

What can I do to troubleshoot this? Many thanks for looking at my problem.  Looking it up... maybe my graphics card doesn't support HDMI 1.3 (I don't know, can't find stats on it, and it doesn't make sense that my card would not support a version of HDMI). HDMI 1.3 or something is required to do 2560x1440.

(EDIT: Although HDMI 1.3 came out in 2006 so it doesn't make sense a 2011(?) card would not support it. Not sure how necessary it seemed to NVidia at the time, though.)

The screen also has DP and mDP, do you think DVI to DP would work better? Is that even a real thing. (Graphics card only has DVI output).Likely you need a Dual-Link DVI connection. However "Adapters" don't usually support Dual-link DVI which results in a limited RESOLUTION. You would need to either replace the card with one that has Display Port or HDMI 1.4 and use the appropriate cable to connect to the monitor, or replace the monitor with one that supports Dual-Link DVI. (Former is probably more affordable...)Yeah I bought a "good" monitor, so probably cheaper to replace the graphics card. Oh well, bit of a shame, not end of the world... I would like to get that full res.

Could you by any chance recommend a GPU in the same kind of performance range or better? I guess something around the £100 mark or lower (so... like $150 or lower bearing in mind market/exchange differences if you're not used to UK market).

Thanks for the reply, whether or not you can help with choosing GPU. You've saved me at least a trip to the store trying to fix something else that can go wrong!

EDIT: and furthermore I tried out a different card and it works in here, going to keep it there until I figure out what to buy for them. Not using my primary computer atm so I can live like this for some time. Thanks again, has been very helpful getting a useful informative answer like this.I'm seeing GT610's on Amazon.ca for $44 Canadian so it might be similarly inexpensive on .co.uk or on other sites. (or brick and mortar).

For the most part I'd expect any graphics card that has a HDMI or Display Port connector would at least be equivalent to the 560.A GT610 is significantly weaker than a 560, you would need to go higher end than that to get something comparable.  Looking at used cards on the likes of eBay may also be worth a try. You may also want to consider returning the monitor and getting one that supports DVI as this may work out cheaper.

What model of 560 do you have? My old 560ti didn't have a full size HDMI port but it did have miniHDMI. Not sure if this would support 1.3 or not though.Right, I forgot the second digit is more significant than the first for Nvidia model numbers.Possible relevance:

The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniaturized version of the DisplayPort audio-visual digital interface.

It was announced by Apple in October 2008. As of 2013, all new Apple Macintosh COMPUTERS had the port, as did the LED Cinema Display.[2][not in citation given] The Mini DisplayPort is also fitted to some PC motherboards, and some PC notebooks from Asus, Microsoft, Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, Dell, and other manufacturers.

Unlike its Mini-DVI and Micro-DVI predecessors, the Mini DisplayPort can drive display devices with resolutions up to 2560×1600 (WQXGA) in its DisplayPort 1.1a implementation, and 4096x2160 (4K) in its DisplayPort 1.2 implementation. With an ADAPTER, the Mini DisplayPort can drive display devices with VGA, DVI, or HDMI interfaces.[3][4][5]

Apple offers a free license for the Mini DisplayPort[6] but they reserve the right to cancel the license should the licensee "commence an action for patent infringement against Apple".

What model of 560 do you have? My old 560ti didn't have a full size HDMI port but it did have miniHDMI. Not sure if this would support 1.3 or not though.

my ENV. - Window 10 Pro - ver. 1607 - build 14393.187



I have been connecting to Teradata under VMWare (Linux) for SEVERAL years using IP - 192.168.74.128.

As of today following a series of Windows updates I am no longer able to connect / ping to this IP from Windows.

I can start the VMplayer on Windows , logon to the Unix machine and ping this IP so the issue appears to be on the Windows side.

Not sure what changed but obviously SOMETHING has.......

Following is the output of IPCONFIG /ALL on Windows and the output of ifconfig on the Linux side.

Does anyone have an idea how I can restore the IP / what to change and how ?


At a complete loss with this ....
thanks Brian

Also to try would be to run IPCONFIG/FLUSHDNS from command shell to dump the DNS cache although pinging direct by IP it shouldnt be a DNS issue but only takes a few seconds to try. Quote

Can you please show me how to download and install the FREE OCRTOWORD program?  I use firefox and Windows 10.
Moreover, is this program really free for a brief trial period only?

When a program is downloaded, how to open it, because I never find how this is done whenever i go to the list of PROGRAMS in my downloads, that is, after I HIT the arrow down in the top, right-hand corner of my Firefox screen.

Many thanks in advance.

Guzeppi In Windows programs must be INSTALLED before they can be USED. (Few exceptions.)
Firefox will download a file, but does not normally install it.
You must open the folder contains the file, then open that file.

I'm on holiday and have been transferring photos and videos from my camera and video camera onto my laptop every few days. Whenever I do this I delete everything from my devices so the MEMORY on them doesn't fill up. I've been putting all this onto a created folder on my desktop. This was all fine until this morning when "something" deleted that entire folder. I don't know if it was OneDrive or iCloud. I've looked in both. My recycling bin is empty. I've been downloading and deleting (when it's done nothing) suggested recovery programs all day. Nothing has made these photos and videos reappear. When I connect my camera or video camera to my laptop the files I want to copy all open up in OneDrive and I've just been copying them to this created folder. I just don't get how they could vanish on their own. I really need someone's help. My family will murder me when they find out a month of documentation has vanished.    Quote

Hi Forum,
The old "System Restore" program for XP was so awesome. It saved me so many times. It seems this doesn't work the same in Win10.
Is there a program that does what the XP Restore did (for free or paid).
THANKS!

Second, Windows 10 has System Restore.

The thing that I don't like about the new restore is that I cannot schedule a restore point. I can only make one manually, and the program seems to never create one automatically when I need it to. I need to schedule regular points to be able to restore after viruses are picked up.

Hello. I'm new to Windows (former Mac user). I have an MSI GT72 DOMINATOR PRO-211 laptop (specs below) running Windows 10. When I tried to wake it from sleep yesterday, I got a black screen with no cursor. When I restarted, same result. After 2 minutes, the fans start running loudly.

(The "GPU" button lights up, which I never noticed before. I don't understand it well, but apparently it is for selecting discrete GPU or UMA GPU mode. Glows when discrete GPU mode is SELECTED. Tried using the button. No good.)

I researched and tried the following solutions, with no positive results:

1) Removing all devices and RESTARTING (Failed)
  -No beeps or sounds. Just black

2) Connecting to an external monitor [TV] (Failed)

3) Booting in Safe Mode (Failed):
  -Holding Shift when turning off
  -(or) Esc + Power to restart
  -(or) Shift + Power
  -(or) Windows Key + Power
  -(or) F2 + Power
  -(or) F8 + Power (apparently won't work with SSD(?))
  -(or) Shift + F8 + Power

4) Power Cycling (Failed)
The battery in my laptop cannot be removed. I did, however, disconnect it from the power plug, and pressed the pinhole "Battery Reset" button underneath.

5) Blind Login (Failed)
I do not have a password SET, so I tried the following in case the login screen was simply hidden.
  -Ctrl and Enter
  -Space and Enter
  -Alt and Enter

6) Boot from USB (Failed)
I downloaded Windows 10 Disc Image to put on a USB stick. However, my only other computer is a Mac (10.6.. The OS is older, so this version of Boot Camp Assistant doesn't give me an option to create a bootable USB.

I'm out of options and know-how (and patience). Please let me know what else I can do. Thanks!

When I scan a document, what to do to transfer it to WORD for editing? I USE a flatbed scanner and Windows 10.
I have no problem printing the scanned text, but I cannot find a way of editing it before I print.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

GuzeppiSave the document with a name...then open it in Word to edit.

Note: You may not be able to edit certain scanned docs...
Many thanks, but am sorry solution did not work.

I had to open the scanned document with Photoshop; no other application would open it.

It was then not possible to save it in WORD, or anywhere else, except  only in PICTURES.

When I tried to open it with WORD, I got a dialog box asking me to "select an encoding to make the document readable."

Then I got stuck.

GuzeppiGuzeppi, This should be part of the scanner software options. What scanner do you have?

An optical jukebox is a robotic data storage device that can automatically load and unload optical discs, such as Compact Disc, DVD, Ultra Density Optical or Blu-ray disc and can provide terabytes (TB) and petabytes (PB) of tertiary storage. The devices are often called optical disk libraries, robotic drives, or autochangers. Jukebox devices may have up to 2,000 slots for disks, and usually have a picking device that traverses the slots and drives.

When I import data  (numbers) from a web site to excel, I get  the + sign in the upper left corner of each cell.   
How do I REMOVE these + SIGNS ??
Thinking a batch file that runs through the file as a CSV or TXT file could find all + and replace it with a space. Then you could open the CSV file with excel and have data delimited. Is this website open to all to look at so that we can see its structure to see what delimiter would be used etc? If its a website with content open to all without logon then please share link here so we can see data structure.

 Going to point this to the batch section here for a batch master to assist you with this. Please dont post this elsewhere.

Not sure if a excel macro would be able to help you with this one.... Thinking conditioning the data first to remove the + signs PRIOR to import to excel is the better way to go and import/open it as a CSV

hi,

well i've tried to bypass the password on startup, so i went into the netplwiz and looked around in there... closed it and it said save changes... but i didnt click anything so i pressed ok..

then all my administrator permissions were gone for the only account on this COMPUTER...

I cannot run anything in administrator mode...not even in cmnd prompt in the windows 10 ui...

so i ran cmnd prompt in the recovery mode... (luckily the administrator account there is set at a blank password)

i enabled the built-in administrator ...it successfully enabled...

i start windows regularly... but there is no administrator account to choose from... only the outlook account i have on my computer...

i am not ruling out a virus... i am also searching google for "virus not allowing administrator" just checking out my options...

hope someone can help.... thanks!

I attempted to run a full restore/reinstall to remove EVERYTHING from my Windows 10 tablet and start fresh. I waited several hours, and when I went back to CHECK on it, it booted up and asked for my password. I tried to type it in, but the on SCREEN keyboard would not open. I was able to attach a regular keyboard to my tablet using an adapter and put in the password; however,  I cannot access most functions now and receive error messages saying that the file is not on this drive or cannot be found. I have tried REINSTALLING the original Win 8 OS that came on it and is stored on a usb (and another copy on a micro sd), but I cannot find a way to get it to boot since none of the function KEYS do anything during start up, and the run command won't open msconfig. Also, I cannot connect to the internet.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Is this a new Dell covered by warranty?

Did this computer come with windows 10 or you upgraded it to 10?

It could be a video driver issue or GPU failure. Id make a bootable Linux distro and run that and see if everything behaves. Linux Mint DVD can boot and run from the DVD without installing. You can surf the internet with this and play youtube videos and see if  the problem comes back.

If the computer is covered by a warranty, I would use the warranty and make a claim for correction to this.Kinda silly you published a key code for Win 10 on a public Forum...oh well... too late now

I only get this once in a while so Linux doesn't seem like a solution I would want.

Given its frequency is more random and infrequent it could also be RAM related. Id run memtest86 on this system and let it run for 4 or 5 full tests to make sure memory is all healthy. On laptops they share memory usually with system memory and so a RAM stick acting up can cause GPU issues too.

If it were a GPU that is failing I would expect it to be more frequent and able to be triggered by specific load conditions or heat related etc to where you can stress it with a game etc and cause it to act up.

RAM issues can cause sporadic issues as a memory address gets flakey or isnt used by GPU and then gets used as free memory address becomes available in the pool of memory addresses for the RAM.

Additionally running crystaldiskinfo to check to make sure hard drive is healthy might be a good test too as for swap space (virtual memory) issues as a result of a troubled hard drive can cause system instability at times randomly. If the drive shows green good with crystaldiskinfo then drive is not a problem but if it pops up with a warning then check further as to why its flagged as a troubled drive.

Hello Members!

Please refer to the attached Pictorial description, &AMP; help assess the background System service/services causing this Notification window to pop-up during System startup albeit once!

YES the "Security Center" service has been set to >Manual< & even my User-account control associated notifications have also been set to >Never-Notify<...then which else Service can be held responsible for prompting such a message? This message is shortlived & pops-up from the extreme right hand corner of the taskbar & then disappears after a few seconds!

Thankfully, this do not returns until the PC is turned ON again!

Which service could be DEFYING the 'No Notification' as set within the User Accounts Control settings?

Help will be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you.

[ATTACHMENT deleted by admin to conserve space]Hello Forum Members!

Iam still awaiting a Reply in this regard....

Please guide...That Notification is a core part of the Action Center. it cannot be turned off except by manually tearing the Action Center out of WINDOWS, which causes numerous other problems.

Better solution is to turn the Security Center service and turn off it's notifications in The "Notifications & Actions" Control panel, as I presume that is why you shut it off in the first place.Hello BC_Programmer!

Security Center service were turned off using "services.msc" & Notifications have been set to "Never Notify" within the relevant section.

Nevertheless, I can let go the prompt as it appears in a sporadic manner, & that too just once!My previous post is missing a word- it should say to turn the Security Center service on.

As I said the Action Center is the source of the message. It shows the message if it detects the Service is disabled. You can enable the service and disable any notifications that were coming from the Security Center itself instead.

I've no idea what happened. they are just gone.Computer works good.

My overall intention is to "Optimize" my overall experience with Windows10, so Yes indeed things are working fine...but I would really like to transform things for 'Better'!

Secondly, isn't this an 'Inaccurate cognitive ability' on the part of Windows10 to assign a lower value than to a Recommended one?

Can this be construed as a BUG?

Thank you in advance.

GuzeppiI have not used it but I get the impression from http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm that you should be able to send the output directly to PRINTER.  If that method shows text too SMALL, I would try saving the image in Paint and ENLARGING it.  But, I see at the aforementioned WEB page that FastStone Capture allows Resizing.  MAYBE you need to explore its options further.

Please help

For those of you who upgraded a Win 8.1 system to Win 10 during the free upgrade period, have any of you noticed a surprisingly LARGE increase disk space used after the upgrade.  I have to admit I do not recall exactly how much space was consumed on drive C before the upgrade but I believe it was under 50GB.  After the upgrade, right CLICKING on drive C and selecting Properties shows 175GB used.  In contrast, a desktop system with Win 10 (from Microsoft Insider program) has 40.3GB consumed on drive C and a system upgraded from a retail version of Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro has about 37.8GB used on drive C. 

I will list where I see major areas of disk space consumption:

Users 14.2GB
Windows 18.5GB
Windows.old 16.2 GB
Windows10Upgrade 15.4GB

Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Video account for less than 10GB.

I'm wondering whether this situation will change by itself after the 30 day period for going back to the previous version expires.  At some point, the Windows.old folder can be deleted.  But, that would still leave a perplexedly large amount of drive space consumed.   
Interesting.
So you're saying that those are the four largest folders showing, totaling roughly 65GB - I'm assuming that your program files folders aren't empty, but if they're smaller than the above, that does leave a lot of space unaccounted for.
Have you checked to see if system restore is using a large amount of space, or if Windows has perhaps created you a large page file?  I once had Windows go a little overboard and create me something like a 30GB page file which was less than helpful.
Basically just trying to think of what could be taking up that space without being obvious or included in what you've checked.  You're correct that the Windows.sold and Windows10Upgrade folders can be removed using disk cleanup once 30 days have passed (that reminded me to check mine...since the Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade the other day I now have a 16GB Windows.old folder myself, time to nuke that!).Calum, thanks for your response to my post.  Since I posted about this, I ran the Windows disk defrag utility. After that, drive space used actually INCREASED.  It is now 199GB.  Oh, by the way, I checked the setting for pagefile and it is set to allow Windows to control the size; it currently shows 1218MB as the size. 

I downloaded a hard drive graphing tool called HDGraph to see whether it might shed some light on the situation.  I captured the graph created by HDGraph and am inserting it here.  As you can see, it shows about 131.31GB as unidentified files.  In the lower right corner, it says "284 elements skipped due to scan errors".  If I click on the text below below that info, a panel pops up showing a list of those 284 elements. 


[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Interesting.  Curious - have you tried running that utility as administrator?  Just wondering whether the "unknown files" are showing that way because you don't have direct permissions on them..."unknown files" is the difference between the total size of the files that HDGraph tallied and the Total used space reported by the drive (total size-used space).

Files not being accessible is one reason, either via security settings or otherwise, but that is a massive amount of files to be "locked out", I don't see any "Unknown files" listed with the program, even when not running it as admin, so it's certainly atypical for that to be the case.

As to the "original" issue regarding disk space, Both my Laptop and my desktop are on Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 8.1. My Desktop system has a 44.4GB Windows folder and my laptop has a 36.6GB Windows folder.

C:\Windows\Installer consumes the majority of the space on both systems; I notice that it's not present on the screenshot, which seems to suggest that perhaps that folder (which b asically saves all the Installer PACKAGES for all software and ALSO has all installed patch files/updates) may be owned by another account such as "TrustedInstaller" and can't be enumerated?

I don't know if I am in the correct forum, I LOOKED around and ended up picking this one.  I have a Dell desk computer, Intel Core I-5-4460, CPU 3.20GHz, RAM 8.00 GB, System Type 64-bit operating system.  Let me explain how I use Windows Live Mail.  I log on to Comcast, then Comcast mail.  From there I delete what I don't want, then open my Windows Live Mail and everything I want to save goes into that.  I read and compose my emails from there.  The last TIME I sent an email out was Friday, August 4.  Today I WENT to send some emails with and without pictures, they will not go.  The message that comes up is:  Server. 'smtp.comcast.net'
      Windows Live Mail ERROR ID:  0x8007007A
      Protocol SMTP
      Port 587
      Secure (SSL):  No

I called Comcast and was on the phone with them (them meaning about four different people) trying to resolve this, thinking it is a Comcast problem.  We changed incoming and OUTGOING numbers (smtp and something else), rechanged them, rechanged them again and again, and I was then told it is a Microsoft problem.  I can get incoming mail, but cannot send anything out.  Anyone have an idea what is going on?  I did not change anything from last time I sent an email to today when I went to send one.  It was a total shock to me when it kept saying it would not go due to this error.  Any help would be appreciated!

So for some reason, whenever I enable ICS from my computer to my Xbox, I eventually (may take awhile but eventually) I will be unable to start any programs, I will not be able to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and trying to do so will give me the error "Failure to display security and SHUTDOWN options", and I cannot click on the Windows search bar to bring it up.

Otherwise, snap the adapter into the tab slots on the back of the video game console and plug the USB cable into the port beneath. Extend the antenna. The green light on the adapter will turn on when it's working.

So I'm asking again, it's a some legal way to make an exception to the EU LA when a user wishes to upgrade to a better computer and stop using Windows 10 on the older computer.

It is currently 1:06am and I am having problems watching the videos that are installed on my computer. After I press the play button, the video will play for a little bit but then stop and the bar that says how far along the video is will be at the end, but the video hasn't reached the end yet. Then I'll TRY to skip ahead and it will freez. All I want to do is look at my GoPro FOOTAGE! Is it windows 10 or my computer? Is there a way to fix it? I have had this issue with videos that were created with video recorders that glitched out when recording due to low battery when recording. Is it just one video or all videos. Also have these videos ever played correctly and all of a SUDDEN it affects all videos including past videos that use to play fine.

With my own issue like this I found that it was only the videos on the SD Card in the recording device that GOT messed up. All prior videos that were downloaded to the the hard drive of the system ran fine. I ended up reformatting the SD Card and making sure I had a full battery when recording and the problem went away.

You can try using a video player other than the one that comes with windows if its affecting all old and new. I use VLC Player which is free. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Hello everyone,

For the past 3 DAYS I am dealing with a very serious problem regarding my Windows 10 OS. The problem happened while I was gaming when my PC froze and I had to force restart it.

After that I keep getting the "Your PC ran into a problem" blue SCREEN (image attached below) with an error labeling 0xc000021a.

I tried a bunch of google solutions and none of them seemed to be working and also none of the windows BUILD-in solutions doesn't work (both resets, repairing with win10 repair disc, restore, return to previous build, fixMBR). Also I would like to point out that every time I try to chkdsk my OS drive (C:), this OPERATION isn't allowed because "Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by ANOTHER process".

I am one step away  from formatting my drive, so any help will be appreciated, although I would like to point out that I have check a lot of google solutions so please don't bring up the same solutions as answers.

Thank you for your time in advance.

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Have you tried resetting Windows 10?  Settings->Update & security->Recovery->Reset this PC.

This will reinstall Windows and gives you the option of keeping your existing files.As I mentioned in my post none of the  troubleshooting mechanisms (resetting , repair , restore to a previous point , restore to a previous build) are working. I can't even get my system to boot in safe mode!It's Shift + spam F8 for Win 10 safemode...That doesnt work either

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Dot net 2.0 and 4.62 are 2 different things....you need Dot net 2.0Dear Patio,

Please go through carefully...as the 2 messages are "Contrary" to each other!
The latter screen suggests that Higher VERSION installed already & the former indicates ---.Net 2.0 OR Higher is required!

But the Higher version is already there (as indicated by the latter section)

Therefore, what's causing such a contrast?

My 3 month old Lenovo has developed a problem with the Ethernet Port so I can't get on line with it unless I get to an area with WiFi.  Lenovo asked me to send the computer to them, but to either give them my password, or delete my existing password and back up my files.  I tried to change the password and it kept telling me it was having a problem.  It neglected to tell me that I had to be online in order to change my password.  So, off I went to the downtown WiFi spot, and voila! it brought up the correct window to change it.  So I did.  And then it asked me to sign in with the new password and did that.  Fine, that WORKED.  I came back home and typed in the new password and it wouldn't take it.  Said I was offline and had to use the LAST password that I'd used offline, which is OLD one that I thought was gone forever.  The problem is, I have to get rid of this password because I can't send it to Lenovo Tech Support as some might be rolling on the floor laughing and some might be not so happy.  What can I do to get rid of the old password and just use the new one to sign in whether I'm offline or online?  Thanks.........Whether they laff or not you need to call the provider...May I say something?
In Windows 10 you  can set a 4 digit pin to any four digits you like.
Use of a PIN is  sort of like having a nickname of alias. It lets you share you PC with others without giving out the password.

In Win7, one just needed to click on Snippintool to make its functionality available. The one in Win10 needs to have NEW clicked before 'image' selection can be made. I am aware that MS deliberately removed that convenience - for their own good (?) REASONS. However, in my use of that TOOL, I FIND the extra step an irritation - HOPEFULLY avoidable. Someone in cyberspace has claimed that it's OK, because you can just launch Snippingtool, and after that all you need to do click on NEW for the functionality. I have not been able to keep Snippingtool open and ready to ACCEPT a click on NEW - so one way my fantasy can be realised is if someone tells me how to KEEP Snippingtool open. The other, is a line of code to emulate clicking on NEW, that I can add to the batchfile which would launch snippingtool. Hope some one can help in one of those two ways.Ctrl + prtscrn launches it...For me CTRL Printscreen just takes a snap of the entire screen (and so do SHIFT Printcsreen and ALT Printscreen) - missing the desired SELECTABILITY/SELECTIVITY that Snipping tool offers. Luckily two other helpers have combined to give me a powershellscript which does exactly what I want.  I'm happy to post that here if requested.

I see no difference whatsoever between the Snipping Tool on Windows 7 and on Windows 10.  With both OS, New needs to be clicked to capture an image. 

I could not update my window10 because it says that my active partition is compressed, But ,in CHECKING my C DRIVE  it shows that the disk is not compressed. Please help.No NEED for multiple POSTS...

Hello Members!

Please refer to the enclosed representation & help me suggest on what to do next in order to fetch the Latest Anniversary Update of Windows 10?

Kindly confirm if the Version visible should really be the one preceding the Anniversary Update?

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Be patient.  Not everyone will get the update on Aug. 2; not enough bandwidth and server capacity EXISTS to update many millions of computers running Windows 10 on the same day.   Good advice...ALSO if any other updates are lacking it'll automatically add them...Even though, one year ago, I opted to "reserve" my Windows 7 to Windows 10 update, it took 3 days before i was offered it.
