This may be a Win 10 thing - who knows? Now the Win 10 laptop cannot see the Win 8.1 desktop at all but can see the Win 7 laptop. Win 7 laptop requires network ID & password to log onto home network (never needed before reinstall of Win 8). The Win 7 laptop can see both the desktop & other...

Recently had to do a refresh of Win8.1-64 bit on desktop. Previously, Win 10 laptop & Win 7 laptop could access the desktop's shared folders & files merely by clicking. Now both need to have ID & password in order to read/share w/ desktop (desktop can be seen in network on file explorer but...

Both Garmin programs installed without a hitch.

NET issue for sure. Had to do a total refresh of Windows to allow installation of NET4.8 And, to add to the frustration & time required, NET 4.8 required a 2013 Windows security update that would not install prior to the system refresh. The new Win-8.1 automatically includes the needed update...

Should have added I previously had Express 6.18 and it was working fine. Update or clean install both hang at "installing NetFx472Redist" and fail at that point.

Have tried to upgrade Garmin Express on Win 8.1, 64-bit desktop, Win 10, 64-bit laptop, Win 7, 32-bit laptop. File downloaded directly from Garmin. Success on both laptops, but continual fail on 8.1 desktop, even when running as administrator or trying compatibility wizard. Previously had...

Finally seem Finally seem to have found the answer. In Win 10, under personalize, select themes then type 'synch' in the search box. Among options that come up is turn synched themes on or off. (This option does not show in Win 8.1.)

I have different, distinctive wallpapers for the themes on my Win 8.1 desktop & Win 10 laptop. Every so often one will sync with the other. (Needless to say, they are both on our home network.) No pattern, just random annoyance. No matter how often I "personalize" and delete the synced theme &...

After going through the endless loop* of Win 8.1 updates one more time (2-3 more times?), I again used the 3-finger salute to finally bring my system to a halt. I rebooted and got the lockscreen and logon screens as usual. I then went to Settings \ Control Panel \ Troubleshooting \ Fix problems...

Several suggestions in Windows 8 Inside Out (Microsoft Press) say to run gpedit.msc. I have gpedit.dll but not the msc file. Suggestions?
