Solve : Internet connection problem after windows upgrade? |

It doesn't show any network and in the device manager the Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection and the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/qualcomm-12824" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about QUALCOMM">QUALCOMM</a> Atheros AR5006EG Wireless Network Adapter are having the yellow triangle. I tried to deactivate and activate the two devices a lot of times and finally worked but after I restart my device I have the same problem. I tried to update their drivers but they are already updated. There are a lot of devices with the yellow triangle in the device manager. It doesn't work the scrolling on the touchpad too. Any ideas?Definitely you should install the drivers from toshiba's drivers page. But, to be honest, a100 is kinda an old laptop and windows 7 should be better option for it. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anyway-2436609" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYWAY">ANYWAY</a>, the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/win10" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WIN10">WIN10</a> drivers for it you will not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/find-11616" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIND">FIND</a> so the win7 drivers should (mostly) do the job.<br/></p></body></html> | |

Solve : Can't see shared folders in the Navigation Pane in File Explorer on two laptops? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I have two HP <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/laptops-1066418" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LAPTOPS">LAPTOPS</a>, both running 20H2 with the latest updates.

I have shared folders on both laptops, and printer sharing is also turned on. When I first turned on sharing, all my shared folders appeared in the File Explorer navigation pane under the Network on both machines, and also in the main pane when I opened the network folder. Sporadically they would stop appearing on either of the machines, sometimes on one, sometimes on the other, sometimes on both. I haven't seen the shared folders in the Navigation Pane for several months now. I was wise enough to map the shared folders as drives on the appropriate machines, so I know my network is good- I can access everything through the mapped drives in My Computer on both machines, and the mapped drives appear in the Navigation Pane on both. i have no problems reading or writing to anything. I have no <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/trouble-344061" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TROUBLE">TROUBLE</a> printing from either machine- basically the network runs just fine. In the opened network view, the two laptops appear as media servers only- the laptops themselves do not appear like they used to.<br/><br/>It's more of an annoyance than anything- it doesn't affect functionality at all, but it just irritates me that what used to work now no longer does. It appears to me that this is just a problem in File Explorer itself. I tried a half dozen or so File Explorer replacements, and they all do the same thing.<br/><br/>Any suggestions?Disable shared folder password protect checkmark (sorry but I use other language on my system so I don't know exact function name)<br/>If you try changing name of computers with their ip range, is it the same?<br/>Disable saving energy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/option-25810" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPTION">OPTION</a> within <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/drivers-21170" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DRIVERS">DRIVERS</a> properties?<br/></p></body></html> | |

Those settings can also be found (somewhere) in the BIOS, I expect.<br/><br/>I will see if I can find that in the BIOS - thanks BC_ProgrammerI didn't know, Lisa, that Win XP came with Win 10 but, no, I pointed Hyper-V to the SETUP.EXE file for XP that I have in a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/folder-246959" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOLDER">FOLDER</a> on my desktop.<br/><br/>I am willing to delete the XP Virtual machine I have created (maybe I have set it up wrong?) and start again.

Solve : Can I encrypt Windows 10 Home? TPM not usable, PCR7 binding unsupported, hardwar? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I never really knew what encryption was until recently getting the files off my crashed drive... There should be a screaming banner when you install windows when it makes you set up password saying: BTW anyone can just unplug your drive and get everything off of it, or use just a few simple keystrokes on boot to access everything without the password, lol.<br/><br/><br/><br/>when I checked my hardware requirements as shown here:<br/><a href="https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-device-encryption-windows-10-home">https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-device-encryption-windows-10-home</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>I see: "Reasons for failed automatic device encryption tpm is not usable, pcr7 binding is not supported, Hardware security not usable"<br/><br/><br/>motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-HD3 Rev 2.0<br/><br/><a href="https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z97-HD3-rev-20#ov">https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z97-HD3-rev-20#ov</a><br/><br/>"Along the southern edge of the board, where we usually see a Trusted Platform Module header, Gigabyte has chosen to supply both serial and parallel port headers."<br/><br/>[URL unfurl="true"]https://techreport.com/review/28248/gigabytes-z97-hd3-motherboard-reviewed/[/URL]<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>i7-4790K Socket H3 LGA-1150<br/><br/>GTX-1050-Ti 4GB GPU<br/><br/>I'm not overclocking CPU or GPU<br/><br/><br/><br/>I don't want to use One Drive or a Microsoft account if that'll enable encryption (something about Home users are more likely to lock themselves out of their computer and having it encrypted makes them loose everything but maybe even if getting the non-requirement I'm seeing if you add the encryption key to One Drive or maybe a MS account it'll let you encrypt, but I don't want One Drive nor an MS account. I don't want to mess with BIOS or anything either not have to plug a USB stick with encryption every bootup. I'd prefer to buy a new motherboard or windows 10 Pro if that'll allow encryption.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I bought Windows 10 home just a few <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/weeks-1451278" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WEEKS">WEEKS</a> ago because my windows 8.1 drive crashed.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I also have two 1TB Western Digital Passport external drives as back ups. They require password to access, as far as I know, (I've tried all folders/options it shows before you can enter the password and there's not data there) but who knows with these things now, maybe I should encrypt them too if possible?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Without this getting too confusing, because I don't want workarounds, maybe even omitting upgrading 10 Home to 10 Pro if possible for a cheaper price than a full 10 Pro ($99 vs $199), I think I'd rather spend the $199, is that the easiest option, or a different motherboard and can at least sell this motherboard?<br/><br/>I can't return this USB version Windows 10 Home to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/newegg" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEWEGG">NEWEGG</a> now that I activated it, I didn't make any Microsoft or One Drive accounts with it either so maybe I can just sell it on ebay with the key and there's no chance I can loose any data, correct?<br/><br/>This mobo does not have TPM. I searched the pdf manual for TPM and trusted platform module.<br/>It does have intel Trusted Execution Technology Intel TXT, but I'm not sure if it's the same as TPM.<br/><br/>Intel TXT(LT) Support (Note) Enables or disables Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT). Intel® Trusted Execution Technology provides a hardware-based security foundation. (Default: Disabled)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Windows10 Pro says here TMP is required for TPM protection, but maybe that's different than Bitlocker?<br/>I guess I'll contact windows and some motherboard manufacturers in the meantime what the best option is.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-10-pro/df77x4d43rkt?activetab=pivot:overviewtab">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-10-pro/df77x4d43rkt?activetab=pivot:overviewtab</a><br/>** Requires TPM 1.2 or greater for TPM based key protection.UPDATE: I just chatted with microsoft and the person said just enable TPM in BIOS but I think I checked everywhere in BIOS and don't see any option (I don't see option for the Intel TXT either). And as mentioned TPM is nowhere mentioned in the PDF manual. <br/><br/>I think I might rather but a new motherboard instead of Windows 10 Pro. Despite any more <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/loss-236926" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOSS">LOSS</a> if any (I can net about $75 on ebay for this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/current-240611" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CURRENT">CURRENT</a> motherboard and buy the right one for maybe $140?, or I can buy windows 10 Pro for $199 or upgrade from Home for $99 but I'm not sure if I want two product keys and 2 USB sticks and also as mentioned maybe TPM <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seems-7266461" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEEMS">SEEMS</a> to still required for Windows 10 Pro bitlocker/encryption).

Solve : First PC build, sleep question? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>A few weeks ago, I built my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/first-461760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIRST">FIRST</a> PC, and I’ve been seeing unexpected behavior around how it sleeps. I’m hoping someone here may be able to help me.<br/><br/>If I go to the Windows start menu and press Sleep through that menu, then the PC appears to go in some kind of deeper sleep, characterized by:<br/><br/>- the monitor turns off<br/>- the power button light is no longer lit constantly. It instead starts <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/blinking-899405" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BLINKING">BLINKING</a> on and off.<br/>- all RGB lights turn off<br/>- all fans turn off<br/><br/>This is the behavior I expect (and desire) from sleep mode. However, if I instead let the computer sleep due to inactivity, a different kind of mode is entered.<br/><br/>- the monitor turns off<br/>- the power button remains lit, and flashes as if the SSD is being written/read from<br/>- the RGB lights stay on<br/>- the fans stay on<br/><br/>My goal is for the PC to enter the same kind of sleep mode due to inactivity that it enters when I manually choose to sleep it through the start menu.<br/><br/>Here’s what I’ve tested:<br/><br/>- I’ve <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/made-1082584" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MADE">MADE</a> sure that “Put the computer to sleep” is not set to Never. I usually <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/keep-527902" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KEEP">KEEP</a> it at around 20 minutes, but this morning I’ve been testing with it at 2minutes.<br/>- I disabled Hybrid Sleep in advanced settings.<br/>- I ran powercfg /energy set to 300ms, but it only ran for 117ms, which seems to suggest that the sleep mode is working if this is an indicator that it stopped the process at 2 minutes. <br/><br/>Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on? Or any tips that might help me debug this further? Thank you!</p></body></html> | |

Solve : Can't Find Chrome Bookmark file in crashed drive? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I had a windows 8.1 PC crash, it wasn't getting internet no matter any basic fixes I tried, so I just did a 'Refresh Without Affecting Your Files' but then it froze at "Setting up a few more things".<br/><br/>I made some posts and was told it did something like ran out of space and just could not complete the refresh/install, it kept freezing %3 "Setting Up a Few More Things". It was only a 2450GB drive, would have been nice if it warned me or something.<br/><br/>I then bought a new 1TB SSD and Windows 10 and was able to get most of my stuff back but I can't find the Chrome bookmark file(s) in<br/>C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks)<br/><br/>There's not even a Google folder before there.<br/><br/>I have Show hidden folders and files enabled. <br/><br/>I did not install Chrome yet on this Windows 10 drive because that might conflict with the old copy of Chrome. In my bottom left Search bar I searched 'bookmark', then search by Document, but it finds nothing either.<br/><br/><br/>Along the lines I may have deleted a chrome icon in the old drive, I'm not really sure. I did have Chrome installed on the new Windows 10 drive at the time and maybe it was conflicting or something but I'm not sure if I even deleted a Chrome icon or anything Chrome or Google <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/related-1183031" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RELATED">RELATED</a> in the crashed drive.<br/><br/><br/><br/>thanksforgot to mention, obviously I didn't use sync or a google account to back these up. <br/><br/>Also, the drive I'm trying to get bookmarks from is not <br/>C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks)<br/><br/>It's D: drive, The new windows 10 is C drive. Depending on what advice you read, the file "Bookmarks" - it does not have a file extension - can be found here:<br/>C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default<br/><br/>But if you had more than one profile in Chrome, it could be in "Default" or "Profile 1" or "Profile 2"<br/><br/>The easiest way of finding the "Bookmarks" file without having to worry about showing hidden files or navigating to the right folder, is to use a program called Everything - this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/quickly-610723" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about QUICKLY">QUICKLY</a> indexes every file on your hard drive(s) and is way faster and better than windows search, and it has a portable version too if you don't want to install it - I use it all the time because of its speed and ability to instantly narrow down a search.<br/>Download it here: <a href="https://www.voidtools.com">https://www.voidtools.com</a><br/><br/>When you load the program, All you need to do is type in "bookmarks", and it will list every location of that file. Obviously you are looking for the one on the D: drive, not anything that is found on C:<br/><br/>If it does find the old "Bookmarks" file<br/>Click on the file once to highlight it, then either press Ctrl+C, or on the Menu bar click Edit > Copy<br/>You can close Everything now if you want<br/>Either on the desktop or a folder of your choice, paste the "Bookmarks" file you just copied (right click > Paste)<br/>Now go to this website, which will convert the "Bookmarks" file into an HTML file that you can import in your newly installed copy of Chrome:<br/><br/><a href="https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows">https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows</a><br/><br/>Click on "Choose a file" in the box<br/>Save the HTML file to your hard drive, now you can import it into Chrome<br/>I read various other forum threads which say your chrome bookmarks DO get removed from -Refresh Your PC without Affecting You Files-, but they should be moved to a newly created folder C:\Windows.old (or maybe in my case D:\), either way, I don't see the chrome or bookmarks files. <br/><br/>I was suggested Everything.exe and search for bookmarks and if not found assume it's gone. Remember this is a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/failed-2080748" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FAILED">FAILED</a> Refresh that keeps freezing at %3 'Setting Up a Few More Things", suposidly from the drive itseld running out of space, so maybe it never finished the :\Windows.old Chrome copying. <br/><br/>I do have Show Hidden Files and Folders enabled. <br/>Someone said it could be in "Default" or "Profile 1" or "Profile 2".<br/><br/><br/>Also was suggested:<br/>If System Restore was enabled on the crashed drive you might be able to get your bookmarks using Shadow Explorer. Download the portable version. <br/>Read the documentation. Click the dropdown box to select your drive letter of the crashed drive. If it finds any Restore Point it should let you browse to your Chrome Folder<br/><a href="https://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html">https://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html</a><br/><a href="https://www.shadowexplorer.com/documentation/manual.html">https://www.shadowexplorer.com/documentation/manual.html</a><br/><br/><br/>If neither works, I'll wait a few more days and maybe someone will come along with another solution, if not, then the drive is getting broken up into pieces and I'll definitely be sure to synch or back up bookmarks regularly for now on. <br/>I downloaded the portable version of ShadowExplorer to try out and see what is possible - it looks like it can only recover the files (and drives) of the Windows system it is running in, there isn't an option to select which shadow copies it is searching, ie your old windows drive.<br/>All I can say is try it, you may be lucky and it opens those too.<br/><br/>A good option would be to try Recuva, a hard drive recovery program, and see if it can find the deleted copy of the Bookmarks file.<br/><br/>I would be tempted to try both of these.Shadowexplorer shows me a drop down to select C:/ (current working drive), D:/ (crashed 8.1 System Reserved) or E:/ (main crashed 8.1 drive). It shows nothing in the 8.1 drives though. <br/><br/><br/>In the crashed drive, I clicked on windows.old or Windows.old(1) and got a permission error. tried again and pressed Continue as admininstrator and it shows the files (but no google folder or bookmarks where it would be). <br/><br/><br/>Everything.exe doesn't find anything for 'bookmark' except for my current Edge C drive. Everything.exe does search both C and E (crashed) drive confirmed by searching for things only found on the E drive. BTW D:/ is the crashed drive too but is System Reserved and only a few Temp and Recovery files (a blank Recovery.text file) files. <br/><br/><br/>With Windows 10 now installed, when I boot with both drives connected, W10 flashes a press any key to skip disc checking, for once I let that go through and it actually did complete and said it was doing it for the crashed E:/ drive, but seems like nothing changed and still can't find files. I then tried booting with only the E drive connected hoping it was somehow fixed but it did the same freeze at %3 "setting up a few more things" then red error box Restart the installation to proceed (or something like that, which would likely wipe everything though). <br/><br/>I then Tried ShadowExplorer but it shows nothing at all in the right window for D and E crashed 8.1 drive. C:/ (current Windows 10) shows it correclty like the instructions say "This is what ShadowExplorer looks like if everything works <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/correctly-409968" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CORRECTLY">CORRECTLY</a>."<br/>So I guess there's not even a system restore point saved on the crashed drive, correct? I did have system restore enabled on that drive. I think I even tried that before 'Refresh your PC without affecting your files' caused this whole problem. <br/><br/>BTW, I uninstalled Everything.exe though control panel but I don't see ShadowExplorer to now uninstall it. Is it not shown because it's just the portable zip version I downloaded to desktop and is not actually an installed program, and I could just delete those files? <br/><br/>Someone asked if I installed Chrome on the new windows 10 drive, didn't say why but I'll do that now and do these checks again and can delete Chrome right after. I do plan on switching back to Chrome once this is all over (either solved or not). <br/><br/>also will try now: "A good option would be to try Recuva, a hard drive recovery program, and see if it can find the deleted copy of the Bookmarks file."<br/><br/>Last thing I'll try after any more suggestions if any, is boot with the 8.1 CD and only the 8.1 drive and Do whatever install option it shows least likely to wipe everything and hope that fixes it at least to make a Windows.old folder or something. I think the only option it has now though is to fully format and reinstall windows deleting anything on there now. I installed Chrome to my new non-problem drive, searched the old drive for files, tried Everything.exe again but it found nothing. There's no new Google or Chrome folder in the crashed drive in E:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks<br/>I also made sure to save a new bookmark in chrome because I read the boobkmark files won't even be created until you save one. <br/><br/><br/>I then tried Recuva and set it to search the E:/<br/>Recuva found 1.9 million E:/ files.<br/>Then Searched 'bookmark' in Everything.exe didn't find anything on the E:/ but maybe it doesn't search Recuva results<br/><br/><br/>Searched Recuva results, I specified 'bookmark' in E:/ didn't find anything. It takes a while like 30 mins to do a full 1.9 million file scan but I ended up doing that twice since unsure exactly how to search for a specific file name, then I clicked FILE NAME row top bar to show results in alphabetical order and scroll to b, and I do see several 'excellent' condition 'bookmark' files. Some are unrecoverable, or very poor but there's 5 Excellent. <br/><br/>There's 3 excellent named bookmarks, bookmarks_1, and bookmarks_3<br/>And 2 excellent bookmarks.bak and bookmarks_1.bak<br/><br/>But I exported them to desktop, and when I copy paste them to my current chrome folder and overwite the existing, neither combination of any of these brings back any old bookmarks.<br/>Is there a special way to do this? convert it to html or something and Import option Chrome has?When you move them to the desktop its just a shortcut....create a new folder....give each a name or # and copy them to there.I posted a reply to this, don't know if it was removed....<br/><br/>Go to this website and upload the file(s) you recovered, I would start with the one with the latest modification time<br/><br/><a href="https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows">https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows</a>I get Error! The file is invalid.

So I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/remove-1184766" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REMOVE">REMOVE</a> the _1 and _2 before trying to just copy paste them into the chrome folder. But I think I need to convert them first anyway. Recuva says they're Excellent condition and does have other bookmark files in Poor or Unusable condition which I didn't extract from the results. <br/><br/><br/><br/>I right click these files>properties, it says it's either a 'file' for the bookmarks and the .bak ones says it's a .bak file. <br/><br/>When I try to open these files, I get a bunch of weird symbols like this á¥Wïø. <br/>I don't want to copy paste too much in case there's a password or something in there.<br/><br/>I don't know what format this is, maybe there's something that can just convert it to English and then I can at least have text of what the bookmarks were?<br/><br/>Maybe extracting directly to desktop makes it a shortcut and I should have instead extracted to a folder. I'll try another Recuva scan in the meantime but doubtful that I only extracted Shortcuts to the decktop from Recuva.I made a previous thread but it got real messy and confusing, I don't think a lot of people would bother reading it at this point.<br/><br/>In simple, with my windows 8.1 computer was fine but wasn't getting internet even though other PCs on router were. I tried some basic network disable then enable etc but nothing worked so I did a REFRESH YOUR PC WITHOUT AFFECTING YOUR FILES (yea, right). It kept freezing at %3 SETTING UP A FEW MORE THINGS. I was told the 240GB SSD ran out of space or something and basically bricked itself. Luckily I was able to get my most important stuff back from that drive but not my bookmarks. I did not synch anything nor did I use a Google account. <br/><br/>I then bought a new 1TB SSD and Windows 10.<br/><br/>When simply viewing the crashed drive there's not even a google folder where it should be in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks<br/>But I've been able to retreive Chrome bookmarks and bookmarks.bak files through Recuva program. I saved them to C: drive BTW, in case Desktop would make them maybe just a 'shortcut'.<br/><br/>Recuva found several Poor condition and unrecoverable condition bookmark files, but 5 are Excellent with no bad clusters (or whatever it says). <br/>Some people can open these files with wordpad or notepad and at least see the URLs and copy them, but I open them and get a bunch of weird symbols and/or Korean writing (Auto detect Google translate says it's Korean but doesn't convert to English, only a few English words here and there, nothing usable). <br/>The file contents look like:<br/>Ϧp¶[w <br/>or <br/>繩湡<br/><br/>These files are like 5 pages long (I had like 350 bookmarks) and don't want to post too much in case there's passwords or something that can still be converted but you get the idea. <br/><br/>Chrome Bookmarks Recovery Tool <a href="https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows">https://rongjiecomputer.github.io/chrome/bookmark-recovery/#windows</a><br/>"Error! The file is invalid. Try again!"<br/>I get an error trying to convert these to .html which this is meant for.<br/><br/><br/>Recuva found files named bookmarks, bookmarks_1, and _2, and bookmarks.bak, bookmarks_1.bak.<br/>I tried manually putting these in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks <br/>and removing the _1 and _2 one at a time and restarting Chrome but nothing worked. <br/><br/><br/>I removed .bak to make it just bookmarks, I read that should be done even if you also retreived the non-.bak bookmarks file. That didn't work. <br/><br/>I made a copy of the retrieved files and renamed them .html to Import and test each one at once through Chrome as an .html file. Chrome says it worked but there are no bookmarks. <br/><br/><br/>Yes I will now regularly back up bookmarks. And noting REFRESH YOUR PC WITHOUT AFFECTING FILES is a last resort for a more serious problem if need be and to back everything up beforehand and expect a lot more to be deleted than it makes it seem. I posted a reply in the other forum you are using, in the old thread - there is no new one anymore (removed / deleted)I merged the threads. One thread per topic please.Welp this is my last shot:<br/><br/>I'll try these recovery tools besides Recuva. I heard them may give different results.<br/>sqlitebrowser.org<br/><a href="http://www.easeus.com">www.easeus.com</a><br/>I'll also recovered random txt files with these and recuva and see if they're readable. <br/>If I don't post back, assume this didn't work for the bookmarks files. <br/>In the end, I'm much more happy that I was able to get my other more important stuff back than loosing my bookmarks. <br/><br/>I really don't see why it was a problem that I asked this question on multiple forums. Yes I asked on like 9 forums, this may be a tricky problem, but at least someone mentioned a recovery program which DID find 5 bookmarks files in "excellent condition' but ended up not being usable. And I don't get why the second thread was deleted, it could have helped others searching with similar problem. <br/>Anyway, thanks for any suggestions, take care. Some things to keep in mind when attempting data recovery.<br/>1.Diagnose the drive which has your data to decide the best method to use to recover the data. <br/><br/>2.Disable the computer from writing to the drive you are recovering from, also don't run any tools which write to the drive and especially don't run CHKDSK <br/><br/>3. Make a bit copy to another drive of the drive you are recovering this can be to a file or a physical drive. DON'T run recovery software on an SSD drive. A SSD drive does a lot of house keeping <br/> in the background which can mess up the data you are trying to recover. <br/><br/>4. If you are recovering files like chrome bookmarks use recovery software which can recreate the file structure and research where the files are stored. Copying off the files from the original <br/> locations is often best, good recovery software will give information about the condition of the file.<br/>5. Recucva is a great tool, but I think you would be better with reclaim me in this situation. <a href="https://www.reclaime.com/">https://www.reclaime.com/</a><br/></p></body></html> | |

Solve : Wake button does not wake the computer? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Please can anyone help? For some time, after some updates succeeding the upgrade I made from Windows 10 Home to Pro, I have been unable to wake the Acer laptop using the Wake button or any of the other usual methods. Instead, I have forceably shut down and restarted, which, I am sure, doesn't do the machine any good. I thought I had found a solution on a Windows help site, but I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/got-23540" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GOT">GOT</a> distracted and have since been unable to find it again. There seem to be any number of ways to send the machine to sleep, or hibernate, but I have found no indication of how to make the Wake button do what it is supposed to do. Does anyone know the solution?Have you tried consulting the manual for this laptop?Unplug your computer’s power supply and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/remove-1184766" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REMOVE">REMOVE</a> its battery using the above procedure.

Two minutes is probably more than enough and five minutes is definitely more than enough. This will clear out any stored charge in your computer. Hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds. Release the power button, and plug your computer’s power supply back in (assuming that you know the power supply works). You don’t need the battery yet. Wait a minute or so, then hold down the power button to turn it on.<br/>Quote from: Mr_Patton on January 12, 2021, 08:25:55 AM</p><blockquote>Unplug your computer’s power supply and remove its battery using the above procedure.

I did try unplugging the power and the battery but had forgotten that I need to keep the power button depressed for thirty seconds after removing the battery. I'll give it a go.<br/><br/>But I have to add that, since I am using the laptop as if it were a tower (i.e. I'm not using its <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/native-1111427" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NATIVE">NATIVE</a> keyboard, but one plugged in to a USB port), there is neither a sleep nor a wake button on the actual laptop. However, these buttons exist on the USB keyboard, only the wake function does not now operate.<br/><br/>I thought I saw something somewhere that, among other things, directed me to go to the device manager and tick a box in the Power Management section of the properties of the network adapters. Having found two such adapters, and having ticked the box (previously not ticked) against "allow this device to wake the computer" for one of these, I find that I cannot do the same for the other, because the option is grayed-out (the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller). Nine other network adapters do not have a power management tab. I have also checked the settings for the keyboard and mouse power management property tabs: all are ticked to allow the unit to wake the computer. Similarly, there are five such grayed-out settings in the power management tabs of various USB devices.<br/><br/>Unfortunately I cannot now find the article that suggested this tweak, nor can I remember what else it said to do...</body></html> | |

Solve : New Install question? |

The new system doesn't want to boot to the old drive (and it's Windows 7, and I have a fresh <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/install-2121155" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALL">INSTALL</a> of 10 on the SSD in the new system.<br/><br/>Is there a way for me to add the software on the old drive to the Windows 10 menu without reinstalling it?

Once you are able to boot Windows 7 it may be an option to upgrade 7 to 10 then transfer the old computers drive to the new ssd. There isn't a way to transfer programs from one version of windows to another version. You would need to re install the the programs then do a data transfer.<br/><br/>Most new CPU's and motherboards will cause Windows 7 to crash booting thou. Like they don't support windows other than 10.<br/><br/>If you run Speccy from here <a href="https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/builds">https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/builds</a> on the new computer booting into windows 10 <br/>Then select file / Publish report and copy the link <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/given-473447" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIVEN">GIVEN</a> back here.

It will run 7 ok, and I can access the files on it fine, but when I try to boot to the old drive it will bluescreen every time.<br/><br/>I think what I'm going to have to do is reinstall the software that I need to use, and eventually I'll move the old files to a temporary home and then wipe the old drive and use it for extra storage. I'd hoped for something easier, but the more I mess with it the more I see that that isn't going to happen lol.<br/></p></body></html> | |

Solve : NTFS Errors on Drive? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I recently bought a 2TB flash drive (which is unbelievable, but that's beside the point) to use as a Music Library. I currently have an external drive plugged into my router, but the physical space is more conducive for a stick.<br/><br/>My router doesn't support exFatso I reformatted the stick from ExFat to NTFS. The backup SAID it went OK, but then a number of the files weren't accessible. The "Scan/Repair" drive wouldn't work, it gave me some weird <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/error-25548" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ERROR">ERROR</a>, so I tossed the stick and got a new one.<br/><br/>Just backed it all up again on to the new stick. Everything copied fine - so it said. But then when I plugged the stick in, it wouldn't read. So I plugged it into my PC and got the "Errors with this drive - would you like to scan and repair" and I would so I did and it came back with "Windows was unable to repair the drive".<br/><br/>So my question is - am I screwing something up by reformatting it as NTFS? <br/><br/>Is this plugged into a USB 3.0 jack instead of 2.0 as well as are you properly dismounting the drive from system by telling it that you want to remove it or are you just pulling it out with <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/improper-1038924" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IMPROPER">IMPROPER</a> dismount where corruption can occur? Reason for the USB 3.0 vs 2.0 question is that the 3.0 is a faster method of communication and the dismount of the value would be faster on a USB 3.0 port especially since its 2TB which is Huge when it comes to a slow flash drive.<br/><br/>With the 2TB in a USB connection I would have gone with a USB 2TB SSD drive for better performance, but maybe the lag of a USB stick isnt that bad. My larger USB sticks 256GB in size are quite laggy compared to my Samsung Portable 250GB SSD drive.Quote</p><blockquote>I recently bought a 2TB flash drive (which is unbelievable, but that's beside the point)</blockquote><br/>Perhaps not quite so beside the point as you think, since this actually tells us exactly what your issue is.<br/><br/><br/>Thing is- There are no 2TB Flash Drives. The largest available flash drives are 1TB, and they cost over $200. I have to assume that you paid significantly less than that. (I certainly hope you did, anyway!)<br/><br/>What you bought was a fake drive. Typically they are made by having a microcontroller that thinks it has a larger memory chip and then just putting a smaller one in. It happily writes data beyond the real "end" which usually just wraps around to the start of the drive. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>I was thinking same thing as you BC until I looked them up on amazon and found them. Not to say that his isnt a fake drive, but they seem to exist on amazon and lots of positive reviews.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2tb+usb+flash+drive&crid=13YHGFQOHX5CT&sprefix=2tb+usb%2Caps%2C254&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_4_7">https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2tb+usb+flash+drive&crid=13YHGFQOHX5CT&sprefix=2tb+usb%2Caps%2C254&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_4_7</a>I saw those. They are fake. Open up any of those and scroll down and look at the reviews.<br/><br/>You'll notice there's a lot of 1 star reviews. And the positive reviews all, for some reason, seem to be reviewing a phone case.<br/><br/>These sellers will create a listing for a "good" product (in the case of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/HiXB-Flash-High-Speed-USB-2000GB/dp/B08T5VK9F9">this one</a>, for example, a phone case) then they will add a new product to the same listing for the fake drive, and remove the old one. The reviews for the previous product stay attached and people get fooled into thinking it has a lot of good reviews- It does, but those reviews aren't for the product you are able to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/buy-391430" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUY">BUY</a> in the listing.<br/><br/>If you look up 1TB Drives, you'll see a lot of the same ones listed here for around 20-30 dollars, interspersed with 1TB Flash drives from brands like SanDisk and PNY that are $150 or more.<br/><br/>And you see the same thing with fake 1TB Drives. like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/F-Security-USB-High-Speed-Computer-Portable/dp/B08T5LTB4S">This one</a>. When you scroll down to the reviews, the "5 star" ones are pretty much all for a screen protector. <br/><br/>It's not just flash drives either. Pretty much any memory item. Fake SD Cards, even fake Memory cards for game consoles like the Gamecube and PS2. <br/><br/>Pretty sure they are all made using salvaged chips from old e-waste. I have a bunch of cheap Gamecube memory cards for example which I imaged using Gamecube homebrew software, and the memory chips had remnants of a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/linux-1946" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LINUX">LINUX</a> file-system and even images which allowed me to see that the memory chip was salvaged from a decommissioned South Korean ISP's router. <br/><br/>Hm. Well I have it plugged into an Anker 3.0 Hub (that I think BC Programmer reco'ed a ways back)... But I haven't even had the pleasure to yank it out and plug it back in - the "Verify" step in the backup program is what gave me the first indication that it was screwy.<br/><br/>I ran the backup/clone process overnight - it looked good, but created an empty directory. So now I'm wondering if you're not onto something with the "fake innards". Yes I bought it off Amazon, so at least I can return it. But how does that even work - how does it make the PC think there's more there than is there? <br/><br/>And how can I verify that? (Or at least figure out how much "good" space I have?)<br/><br/>Weird interesting stuff. I just figured memory had gotten really effin' cheap.Quote from: rjbinney on February 20, 2021, 11:44:30 AM<blockquote>But how does that even work - how does it make the PC think there's more there than is there? <br/></blockquote><br/>They use a Memory controller, configure it to think it has 2TB of memory space to work with, and then just put in a much smaller memory chip.<br/><br/>The Memory controller controls the actual USB Interfacing so it communicates with the PC as if it was indeed that capacity.<br/><br/>Read-Writes beyond the end of the "real" storage wrap around, resulting in the signature corruption.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-and-detect-fake-or-counterfeit-usb-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/">here</a> is an article which overviews some software that can be used to test for counterfeit drives and determine the real capacity.Thanks for that article. I already have moved a bunch of stuff (successfully I think) to the new drive, so I will try the Russian test first. <br/><br/>(It's not that I don't have multiple copies, but if I can keep what I've done, that would make me somewhat happy).The Russian test didn't even recognize a brand or serial number on the drive. <br/><br/>I tried Fake Flash Test - and besides the fact that it doesn't understand fractions, it crashed both times at 30% on the "Reading back marker block" test. So I presume that's a bad sign.Yes, I'd guess it is 8GB or possibly 16GB in terms of real storage. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/could-410026" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COULD">COULD</a> be as low as 2GB.<br/><br/>There are of course other tools which may have varying success- I think some of them can tell you the real size and even reconfigure the device so that it properly appears with that correct size.And you wonder why I have trust issues.</body></html> | |

Solve : MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD, seemingly hardware related? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hey, about a week and a half ago I upgraded my system to a Ryzen 5 5600X with a B550 motherboard, and it seemed to be working fine. However, at some point, I started getting MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSODs, and they became more frequent, to the point of me booting my computer and getting a BSOD as soon as I open a single program. I also got some other errors, like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION. Here's what I've tried:<br/><br/>Ran Memtest86 and Windows Memory Diagnostic, both returned 0 problems with the memory.<br/>Disabled XMP and Memory Fast Boot<br/>Reinstalled Windows<br/>Ran in Safe Mode<br/>Updated the motherboard BIOS (used both the one that first added support for Zen 3 and the newest one that came out after)<br/>Swapped my SSD<br/>Cleared my CMOS<br/>Ran Ubuntu (got kernel panic while trying to load the OS, due to an error along the lines of "Memory corruption detected in low memory", and "not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt"<br/>Disabled system virtual memory<br/><br/>I even tried reinstalling Windows a second time, at which point it crashed DURING the installation off the USB stick. I didn't even know it was possible to BSOD the Windows USB. After that, I feel like software issues and the windows installation are ruled out as causes. The BIOS update probably <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/rules-239017" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RULES">RULES</a> out that BIOS being the problem. The RAM diagnostics both also rule out the RAM (although I'm still a bit suspicious because I'm still using the sticks I bought when Skylake came out). Sometimes, usually after a fresh boot, I'm able to get into Windows for long enough to run a few Prime95 tests and Linpack Xtreme. My computer powered through everything and it seemed as though nothing was wrong. I restarted my computer and crashed after opening a program and being on my desktop for 3 seconds. It's random, it can happen quickly, sometimes it just doesn't even seem as though <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anything-380254" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYTHING">ANYTHING</a> is wrong. I suspect it may be my motherboard, but I don't have another CPU to test it with. If you could let me know what you think, or what my next course of action should be, I'd appreciate it.

As you can see from the picture attachment my main drive is E and my boot is drive C. I cannot change the drive letter of C to any other drive letter as it states that the drive is needed to boot.

So I have to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/force-22342" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FORCE">FORCE</a> shut down again. I turn it back on and it does the same thing where it goes to the splash screen, dots go in circles. So I hit F3 after restarting it again to get into recovery options and I do a factory reset on that sucker. It boots 8.1 fine, I log in, I am able to shut it down correctly, it boots back into 8.1 correctly. So I upgrade to Windows 10 once more and it boots into 10. I shut it down, same issue. It seems to only be when Windows 10 is on it now and I really hate 8 and don't want to have to go back to it. So what do you believe the issue is?<br/><br/>Thanks, Nick.Is this happening only when idle for a period of time or when your actually using it?<br/><br/>If its only happening when idle then it could be a power management option that needs to be set to tell the system not to shutdown, not to hibernate or sleep etc.It happened when I tried to shut it down. It will never boot up so I had to reset it to Windows 8.Any help? :CSorry for no additional info and quite some time passed. <br/><br/>Unfortunately your issue sounds to be Windows 10 related, but if its a build issue others should have also reported issues with 10 on that laptop as well and the google search doesnt show any hits.<br/><br/>Hardware issue unlikely since its healthy on 8/8.1<br/><br/>This is one of those situations where there is no good direction to go in, but a direction needs to happen to hopefully get to a cure for this.<br/><br/>The Windows 10 on thumb drive... where did this come from? Is there a reason why the upgrade isnt happening from Windows 8 downloading the upgrade and then selecting to switch to 10 in which the upgrade just happens at the HDD and no external devices are used?</p></body></html> | |
