Hi Guys. About 2 weeks ago the Explorer icon on the Taskbar where you can pin up to 12 shortcuts started randomly disappearing causing me to drag 'n drop them again. After about the 5th or 6th time of them disappearing and replacing them I am now only able to pin 4. I've installed no additional...

Well, Pranav, it's been 8 days now since uninstalling AVG 2015 Free, and not a single BSoD. No crash of any kind. Coincidentally, though, I can no longer place Pinned Shortcut links on the Explorer icon located on the Taskbar. First they started randomly disappearing forcing me to copy them...

Thank you so much for your quick review and response to this frustrating issue. If it is the AVG program I'll be very disappointed since just moments ago I was telling my best friend that I've been using AVG Free for years on all my PCs and how it isn't a resource hog like his Norton, and when...

Done. Thanks. :)

Hi Y'all. Ok. I've been having the BSoD with multiple errors causing the crashes. May 31st: NETIO.SYS Jun 2nd: CNG.SYS Jun 3rd: WMILIB.SYS Jun 6th: NTFS.SYS I have dmp files for all 3 crashes if requested. After the CNG.SYS crash I ran MEMTEST86 from a UEFI USB drive and after 6...

Hi Y'all. Ok. I've been having the BSoD with multiple errors causing the crashes. May 31st: NETIO.SYS Jun 2nd: CNG.SYS Jun 3rd: WMILIB.SYS Jun 6th: NTFS.SYS I have dmp files for all 3 crashes if requested. After the CNG.SYS crash I ran MEMTEST86 from a UEFI USB drive and after 6 hours...

I humbly bow to your feelings. As a computer engineer and tech support for 14 years, I should have been more sensitive in my rapid assumption of the cause of the flashdrive being wiped out using rufus. In the end, it was an elevated command prompt and executing select disk # clean "didn't...

Found this additional thread here on our forum: OPTION TWO With good fortune I was able to reacquire my flashdrive with the "create partition primary" command. YEA!! After completing the remaining steps I am now copying my ISO files as stated in Step 8. Once this is completed I'll continue...

Creating Win8.1 UEFI capable flash drive... Here's a new twist on attempting to create a UEFI capable Windows 8.1 Enterprise ISO flash drive. Many posts showed to use a program called rufus to format and add my ISO to the flash drive thus creating a UEFI installation drive. After running this...

Most likely you are correct. With Windows 7 I've been successful at making registry and GPE tweaks to keep my PC doing what I want it to do as the local administrator over the network admin, but Windows 8 is too different from all my previous schooling in Windows. This doesn't mean I'm giving up...

I, too, believe these settings are controlled by the Group Policy which get configured when I join our domain. However, something additional is happening through updates because when I first installed Win8 I could change the screen saver wait time. Now after the many updates applied to the OS...

That is correct. They were grayed out and unchangeable. A link on the settings window sent me to the locations I posted above, and onward to 2 different solutions, which unfortunately didn't solve my issue. My external drives are NTFS, and the OS is Windows 8 Enterprise x64, the version our...

Well, sadly, none of the solutions posted have allowed me to access external drives via our domain network PCs, only the internal drive shares. :cry: Back to square one.

Thanks for your quick response, chev65. Once reading it it felt like this could be an answer, but unfortunately this setting is grayed out, and the link provided sends me to Microsoft which states the changes I want to make are for another version of Windows and don't apply to Windows 8. Here is...

Hi Guys. Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. :party: After formatting and installing a fresh Windows 8 Enterprise I am still unable to access any shared drives or folders on external devices via our domain authenticated network. Any drive/folder located on the internal drive (...

Good day, All. After doing many of the solutions listed here I am still unable to access any of my mass storage devices via our network. Any of the 3 partitions on the local drive (C$, D$, E$) are no problem, but all the others give me a permissions error. This only started when I installed...
