windows 10 opens the 'what to do with this' popup everytime Rufus initializes the USB device, which causes a fail. how do I suspend that operation in 10 so it does not feel the need to access the usb?

amazingly hard to find this! i have a yoga 2 11 that I have been running windows 10 on since the 'git go'. i asked on a yoga thread what version of windows 8 the machine originally had an nobody actually knew :p I'm guessing it would be in bios but readable? anyway, anyone know how to do this?

Friends I need your help. I have one [and only one] Windows 8.1 laptop system in a production environment that insists on randomly rearranging desktop icons. There are 2 other laptops in the same office, configured in much the same fashion, plugged into large desktop monitors the same way, that...

Tari, that is the one I settled on. some of the others out there load too many variables into the software mix so I deferred those and used the open gl one below. as to the other suggestions - I have another sys coming in over the weekend for a job and will try the card in it - vastly different...

in need of more experienced wisdom here. I have a asus m51bc so called "essentio series" minitower that came with a asus branded OEM-only radeon hd 8760. it does not work well. never has. has seen little use since new in 2013 because of the problem i'm trying to solve. basically under even a...

Gang - thought I would toss this chum out: I have noticed on 8 and 10 that the default "Network" view/column in Task Manager [with all details exposed] does not seem to give an accurate and/or complete picture of reality. Case in point that triggered the labor of coming here: Windows Update...

Just in case someone searches this topic and lands here: - going back to the date range from which the errors began, we find only a few things new/installed, all of which came through windows updates - in this case, something updating in Office 2010 called for Silverlight plus several C++...

p.s. the system is a lenovo Z510, win 8.1 pro, x64. malware free.

wondering if any of you can clue me where to start looking for a cause of a LOT of repetitive errors, seemingly coming at the tick of the clock - in other words the system is generating the same error dozens of times per second. All of the errors I've looked at so far, with just a few...

and apparently not even MS can make MS's Win 8 immersive work right! throws an error just because one presses the windows key to return to desktop?? sheesh

this is one of those Windows 8 [and Windows 10 now] "features" that drives me and a lot of other people nuts. Why is it that I get different "answers", different results, different behavior, from the Control Panel "Windows Update" utility vs the PC Settings "Windows Update" utility? [And why...

Guys this one has me stumped. I get this on fresh start, on restart, on awakening from sleep and/or hibernation as best I can tell. This is on a clean fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro x64 on Dell Latitude E5440. So far, for this particular gremlin I get Warnings, not "Critical" - Reading many...

crawfish I appreciate your detail. Yes, as it turned out this Latitude iteration has a number of BIOS features that make it probably the strangest one I've seen [and I worked there for a long time...]. Still not sure I fully understand what WAS going on but I went from 1200+ ERRORS [not...

Dell Latitude E5440 I fresh installed 8.1 but, as the bro' in the Acer UEFI thread [just resolved] said, I have the same: the latest Dell BIOS does not give any options at all in UEFI mode - that is, there is no table of boot device choice sequencing, and neither the ADD or REMOVE functions...

Gang I have a fairly fresh 8.1 installed clean on a Dell Latitude, but after it downloaded a pile of updates, it came back very shaky on the next boot. Tracing through all the Red Errors I suspect the root is that on a restart, the system is in a state as though it were returning from...

thank you for responding. I decided it wasn't trustworthy so killed all the partitions, loaded 8.1.1 from created dvd. took less time than fighting it, in the end... pretty clever btw... apparently MS has a database of factory-imaged systems somewhere 'cause it figured out what key to use

gang I have seen this movie before and cannot recall how I solved. I have a "new" laptop via a reseller. it has a factory-loaded windows 8 pro. it works fine - now upgraded to 8.1. however there is a huge security "hole" which I cannot live with. Enabling the builtin Administrator account, it...

false. dell had the issues. I fix their issues.

Microsoft provides an online utility for creating installation media from a running/valid Windows 8/8.1 machine. I have a running 8.1 Pro Dell Latitude but it has issues I cannot tolerate so I'm creating the media to "start from scratch". Therein lies the rub: is it really "from scratch" or is...

Gang I"m trying to move mail from a dead windows XP laptop to a new Windows 8.1 laptop. The old, oddly, used Office 2010 on XP Pro SP3 32-bit. Not sure why, but it kept two *.pst files simultaneously in two locations, the bigger being the default Outlook.pst. What I'm wondering is: in Windows...
