Is it on a network? Sometimes sleep settings are thrown off or the PC wakes by itself if the network card/interface is set to "wake on lan." Check in Device Manager for the network interface and open them up and look at Properties. See if it has a setting to the effect "allow this device to...

Internet Explorer is known for this bug. No matter the setting it opens new pages in a new window. For the File Explorer see this settings tutorial: Folder - Open in Same or New Window in Windows 8 If it really opens every tabbed interface, such as a text editor etc., in new windows I have...

Revo Uninstaller Free has released a bug fix update. Version 2.0.3 is the first update in nearly four months. It may be worth a download. Here is the link to the release history I was looking around for the Pro version on giveaway someplace. I didn't find one but I did notice the free...

You may also wish to try a defrag program that has been around a long time as a Pro version. Vopt. It takes the approach of reducing the number of "gaps" between files. I have used it years ago and recently started using it again because the author of the program left instructions that when...

Thanks for posting the screen shots. According to the page I linked, if any of the Advanced Options are selected, as some of yours are, the system will automatically revert to Selective Startup.

I don't have Windows 8.1 to look at. But in my Windows 8.0 in the Boot Tab there is an Advanced Button.

I've never run into that problem myself. But a search brought me to this page and it sounds like what you are experiencing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/310567/the-msconfig-startup-selection-reverts-from-normal-to-selective-startup

No. I also get some jazz about the xml file for several services containing "an unexpected node." Whatever that means. I also tried tweaking.com window repair just doing the repair for important services. It made no difference. It seems these "open box" machines are impervious to repair for...

No matter what I try to delete in Task Scheduler I get this error: ERROR: Transaction support within the specified resource manager is not started or was shut down due to an error. I tried the old Vista fix with fsutil .. nothing I tried deleting the folder contents of all schedule tasks from...

This page may have a work-around. It points to a utility that denies focus change unless the mouse was moved. I do not know if the utility is in English or German. But it may be simple enough that it does not matter. Prevent programs from losing focus automatically in Windows - gHacks Tech News

Yeah, I remember once in awhile I would get this thing in Windows if my hand twitched on the mouse while I had files selected in Explorer I would get copies with the numbers in parenthesis. There is someplace in the Registry to turn that on and off. But I don't remember where. It used to...

This option is included in the free version of TeraCopy. See the thread linked below. ( TeraCopy version 3.0 just went stable. So it is a good time to try it out. ) Quicker Way to Copy/Move but Keep Both Files

Before they changed the web page there was some mention of HD monitoring to make incremental backups even faster. Also something about it would not be included in the initial v7 releases. Now I see no mention of it. I wonder if it's a vaorware or what the story is, if anyone has insider news.

This thread may help if a round about way: Disk Clean-up - Windows Update Clean-up Stuck. But assuming you get rid of the 3 GB of updates on C: that is still less than 4 GB free space. You may want to check into migrating to another drive or offloading data that you do not always need to an...
