| Help with Windows 10 updates "undoing changes & reverting back" and not installing. Posted: 02 Jun 2019 01:15 PM PDT I have recently noticed that I had a couple of updates to do on my PC. Like regularly, I always download them when they are available. Well, this one has got me on my ass because the updates keep failing. The PC tells me to restart my pc when I use the troubleshoot, which I clearly do. I attempted to use Update and Shut Down but to no avail, the update still fails. I read on a few posts online that people were having this issue, but in a loop, and could not return back to windows log in screen. Thankfully, this is not a problem for me. Just updating is an issue. Does anyone have any fixes to this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Old Windows on Secondary HDD - How to Remove? Posted: 02 Jun 2019 08:05 AM PDT I have Window 8.1 (going to upgrade to 10 now) installed on (C:) on my SSD, but I also have an old HDD (Disk 2) which has an old install of Window 7 on it on partition (E:). Every time I boot up it asks which Window I want to start, and defaults to 8.1. I haven't cared for ages, but I'm thinking that adding Windows 10 into the mix might be a problem. Can I simply delete the Windows folder off (E:) to git rid of the W7 install? Is the 100MB system partition on Disk 2 going to be an issue at all? Perhaps I'm better off formatting disk 2 entirely? Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How Do I find and install windows without key or CD? Posted: 02 Jun 2019 06:59 PM PDT Hello, I have an old laptop that I would like to put an ssd in and reinstall windows. I do not know where the backup cd is, or the key for windows itself. It is also still widows 8.1, could i update it to ten for free still? Or will i just have to buy a whole new version of windows.

| Inactive Partition/Insert proper boot device Posted: 02 Jun 2019 06:01 PM PDT I made a partition inactive on my ssd that I just transferred windows to. It had nothing on it (that I could see) but some steam library files so I was trying to get rid of it. Everything was working fine on my windows transfer from my HDD to my W10SSD but I rebooted after making the partition inactive and now I'm stuck at insert proper boot device. My disks looked like this Windows 10 SSD (C) Extra SSD (E) HDD (D) Extra Partition (F) I was trying to remove this since it seemingly had no purpose. I can get into my MB setup but I'm not sure what to do now. Everything I try fixes nothing (haven't tried default settings yet) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 02 Jun 2019 05:18 PM PDT My cousin gave me his old HP laptop he doesn't use anymore, and of course, I want to go and fectory reset. And with that, as per usual, Windows doesn't want it to be as simple as that. When I went to reset it immediately said "there was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made". I found a solution where I start a command prompt and I typed the commands:
I thought this was finally it, but then once again, it wasn't. I'm getting a "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" error. I am this close to losing it so some help would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Jun 2019 09:10 AM PDT After migrating my OS to an SSD and installing Windows 10 Insider Build 18898.rs which is pre-released, am facing such problems. I guess its from Battleye. As ARMA 3, R6 Siege have Battleye, both game restrict me and showing a message box: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". It happens every time. I grant allowance in security tab of each application as everyone and gave full control. But, still have the same problem. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why does everything take so long? Posted: 02 Jun 2019 09:17 AM PDT For example - updates (ok, it might be doing something special "under the hood" that I can't see, still - updating for 6 hours? really?) but most notably disk cleanup Like, it says that I have 8 GB of system files I can delete. So I go ahead And it always takes at least 30 minutes. Why does deleting 8 GB of files take so long? If I do it with any other file (= manually deleting it) it's done immediately. Note: Windows 10, but iirc the disk cleanup used to take really long in W7 and W8.1 as well [link] [comments]  | ||

| Windows 10 1803 KB4499183 - Error 0x8e5e03fe Posted: 02 Jun 2019 11:53 AM PDT Hello guys. I'm getting this error every single time I try to install new updates. I've tried to use the update troubleshooter, cleanup windows update files, sfc scan, rename windows update folder and download them again. Nothing worked for me. I even tried using the Windows Update Assistant. Same result every single time. I could use some help and fresh ideas. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| I bought a Windows 7 Home Premium DVD in 2013 that never worked with the given Key. Posted: 02 Jun 2019 11:16 AM PDT Hey there, maybe someone will be able to help solved this puzzle. In 2013 I went into a The Source store and bought a Windows 7 Home Premium DVD (French) for 150 CAD Since, I've never been able to use the given key with the DVD installer. Every time I wanted to install/reinstall Windows I had to call the Microsoft Support and get an agent to activate my Windows copy with a default activation key they have. I thought it could be a DVD problem, so I used the Microsoft Get Windows 7 website to download an ISO of the correct installer for my key. And the only available option is one in Korean. Since I'm French Canadian, Korean isn't an option. I called the Microsoft support to explain this, and after a couple hour on the phone, the agent have been able to establish that my copy isn't counterfeit. It's just a wrong key for the DVD installer. He suggested me to call the Windows Activation Center and try to switch my Key for a working one. And as you can imagine they said they can't do nothing and had to contact the store I bought the DVD from. Which I did, and as you can imagine they said I had to contact Microsoft Support. Everyone is throwing the ball at each other. I don't want to buy another Windows Key, I just want to be able to use the one I purchase back then. Any idea on how to solve this situation? Thanks!

| Getting an error while upgrading my device from Windows 8.1 Pro to 10 Pro Posted: 02 Jun 2019 04:41 AM PDT I picked up a Dell Venue 10 Pro tablet at a yard sale and I'm trying to upgrade it to 10 Pro with the Media Creation Tool. I get to the point where it starts installing Windows 10 and at some point after 80% it quits back to the desktop screen and a pop up appears saying "Windows 10 Installation has failed". Should I try downloading W10 on a usb drive on my other PC instead and then plug that into the tablet? [link] [comments]  | ||

| My PC won't boot (not even into my BIOS), after resetting windows. Posted: 02 Jun 2019 12:22 AM PDT I use a dual boot PC, with Win 10 and Arch Linux. When i use Win 10, i experience performance issues most of the time and the taskmanager always showed 100% Disk usage. Because i mostly use Linux i didnt bother fixing it until yesterday. I checked the recommend solutions, which all didn't really help with my problem. I then decided to check my system files with the cmd command 'sfc /scannow', after which i restarted my PC and booted again into windows. But i was presented with a black screen and nothing would work. After a second reboot i was presented with the windows troubleshooting screen, were you can reset your PC or do other actions to repair a faulty windows partition. I decided to reset my windows PC. After it had finished nothing seemed to happen and i was infront of a black screen again. I restarted the PC and now it keeps automatically restarting as long as i dont manually pull the power. Every second restart it shows the BIOS Menu Background for two seconds and every other second restart also lasts only a second with a black screen. EDIT: I now can say with 99% certainty that my motherboard has died. R.I.P. I can't get into the Bios or start in safe mod. I also can't get into grub to boot my linux partition. Now the question is what the hell happened to my pc, why is my BIOS (and probably my Linux Partition) affected? And most important of all, do i have to buy a new Motherboard? [link] [comments]  | ||
| [Windows10] Is there a way to individualize the security questions? Posted: 02 Jun 2019 02:07 AM PDT There are those 5-7 standard questions for password recovery (Pet Name?

| Prevent Domain/Org from restarting a Windows 10 PC Posted: 02 Jun 2019 09:36 AM PDT Hey all, sorry if this is the wrong sub for questions like this, but I work at a school and currently I need a solution for keeping a windows PC online overnight 24/7 at least until IT can helps us fix an issue. Every night somewhere between 11pm and 1am, the computers in my department (or possibly across the whole university) are restarted by the domain for network updates, I'm guessing. I know for a fact that it is not for Windows updates. I need to prevent a certain computer from being restarted tonight and I haven't been able to find the exact answer to this via Google searches. I cannot take the computer offline and I don't believe I have admin access. Any ideas for how to stop the restart? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Jun 2019 09:57 PM PDT Hi, I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 v1903 and every time I open up the timeline/task view I am greeting by this: https://imgur.com/AjHVSFr How do I get rid of this? I have already turned off suggestions in the timeline, I even checked the registry key that supposedly controls this prompt and I still can't get it to go away. If any of you have an idea as to how to fix this, I would be very grateful. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Jun 2019 02:30 AM PDT So I have one pc with two separate desktop logins: One for gaming and one for work. But they seem to be connected and I don't want them to be. When I install a program on the admin one it shows up on my work desktop where I have to delete it. How could I fix this? I want them to be completely separate... [link] [comments]  |
