    Windows 10 Chinese version, single language pack. Help me get English?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:44 AM PST

    I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga C940 in China. The laptop has Windows 10 Chinese Version installed (single language pack Only). I need to change it to english. I read that I would have to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro to get English since the Win10 I have is single language. I tried to buy Win10 Pro from Windows store, but when I click "buy" it just takes me to a loading screen that stays loading but never actually loads. I am frustrated now, I just want the English version of Windows 10, please help me?

    Windows 10 Hello

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:50 AM PST

    Is this a hardware issue or windows hello?

    When I use the windows hello on my surface pro 7 it unlocks and then stays on for a while after that. It doesn't unlock the device anymore and says couldn't turn on the camera. Also when I go to improve recognition it says the same thing.

    My WIN+TAB crashes my Explorer sometimes, and I don't know why

    Windows Hello facial recognition prompt

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:11 AM PST

    I have Windows Hello Face set up on my desktop, and it works great! One annoyance is that if an app uses it, it pops up a dialogue box that stays even after it authenticates. I have to manually click OK. This behavior is different from a fingerprint, where once it authenticates the dialogue box disappears.

    Is there a setting somewhere I can alter to change this behavior?

    Can't remove ENG FRCA keyboard.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:40 PM PST

    Hi,

    I can't remove the ENG FRCA keyboard. It doesn't show up in Settings, and yet here it is. The ONLY keyboard layout I want to use is ENG US. How do I remove ENG FRCA permanently?

    The things I've tried are:

    • Adding "Canadian French (Legacy) and then immediately removing it-- doesn't work, it always comes back, sometimes within minutes.
    • Typing this command:

    reg delete "HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /f

    • Restarting, etc.

    Thanks!

    Help with Windows 7/10

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:35 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    I just recently got my computer back from storage after 18 months, and found out my windows key is no longer genuine.

    It's windows 7, and the computer shop I bought my PC from is no longer in business. Now I understand that I should upgrade to Windows 10 but it seems I need a genuine key to do that.

    My question is, what's the best way to get a windows 7 key? Or can I upgrade now, then use a windows 10 key? Would also like to know the best place to buy one without breaking the bank.

    Thanks!

    Some weird Microsoft word update showed up and now my installed font isn't showing up. Help!

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:33 PM PST

    So I just opened up word and it comes out with a new format that's kinda weird. What's the bigger issue is that a 3rd party font I installed that I'm really fond of doesn't show up anymore on my microsoft word? How can I get it back?

    OneDrive Sync running on two computers (one account)

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:56 AM PST

    Question regarding what happens when two Win10 computers, both using the same Microsoft account, both have OneDrive syncing the User folder (Documents, Pictures, etc...)

    My current setup is that I am using a notebook, with the user folders moved into onedrive, both for backup and to save SSD space). Like:

    C:\Users\calapine\OneDrive\Documents 

    Now I am soon buying a Desktop PC. What I am afraid is that if when useing the same setup that onedrive will see an empty Documents folder and try to sync OneDrive, i.e. delete all my documents in the cloud. (That's how it behaves currentyl: if you delete a local copy it deletes the cloud version, too)

    What I WANT OneDrive to do is keep Notebook, Desktop and Cloud in Sync, so have the same files on all computers.

    What do I have to do? Is there anything to avoid?

    A Folder Has Disappeared From My Computer

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:50 AM PST

    Yesterday I created a folder on my secondary drive (D:) and I put there some illustrator and photoshop work, and an older folder. Today, I opened my computer and to my surprise, the folder wasn't there, but the older folder was. (I have an un-activated copy of windows 10 if it has something to do with it). I searched for the folder and the files inside in "This PC" and there were only the quick access shortcuts. Any hope to recover them?

    Search Bar is back but right click on Desktop and Nvidia Control Panel aren't working anymore.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 01:12 PM PST

    No idea if this is related, but the Search Bar is working now for me but I have three new problems instead.

    1. I can't access the Nvidia Control Panel anymore. Which is a problem because I wanted to change my G-Sync settings. I see the Control Panel (windows store version) in task manager and can end it there. But restarting doesn't bring up a screen
    2. Right Click on the Desktop should bring up a context menu. Instead I get the small rotating circle, indefinitely.
    3. Selecting a program or Apps through Apps & Features is incredibly slow. It takes like 20-30 seconds for the uninstall option to appear. (Only found because I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the control panel)

    Things I tried so far:

    - Removing Nvidia drivers with DDU and reinstalling them [no effect]

    - Reinstalling the Nvidia Control Panel [no effect]

    - Executing sfc /scannow through command prompt [everything was fine]

    - Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth through PowerShell [everything was fine]

    Can’t shut down after Windows 10 install

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:57 PM PST

    I replaced a HDD with a Samsung 860 EVO. I did a clean install and reinstalled windows 10 with ISO file and linked it with my Microsoft account. I then installed some of the programs it had previously (Norton, etc.)

    It boots fine but for some reason will not turn off. These are the things I did to try and fix it:

    1. Check boot order. It gives both UEFI and legacy boot sources. For UEFI, it has windows boot manager as the first one. For legacy, it has the hard drive P0 Samsung as the first.

    2. Troubleshooted power, updates, etc.

    3. Command prompt as admin and did "scannow" (found no integrity violations) and also did a forced shutdown

    4. Turned off "fast startup"

    5. Unplugged power cable while on, waited 20 minutes, then plugged in and booted (no issues booting again)

    6. Reset CMOS by taking out button battery for a few minutes and then turning it on again. This brought my bios settings back to default.

    Even after all this, it won't shut down. The screen will go black after the "shutting down" but the tower continuously stays on. Only way I can turn it off is by manually holding the power button or by unplugging it. I let it stay like this for a few hours and it still never turned off.

    I tried it again with the old HDD (still works and wasn't wiped) and it was able to shut down so I think it has to do with the windows I installed on the SSD.

    What else can I do? I'm out of ideas except wiping the brand new drive and just reinstalling windows again since it only shuts down with the old drive.

    Triple display projection: Set 'second screen' as 3rd monitor?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:52 PM PST

    I thought this would be easy... maybe one of you have encountered the same problem.

    I have 3 monitors, in the layout: 2, 1, 3.

    I want to be able to show only monitor 3.

    Using the project menu (Win+Shift+p), the options give me:

    Column 1 Column 2
    "PC screen only" Off On Off
    "Duplicate" On On On (only 2 of them show the same picture)
    "Extend" On On On
    "Second screen only" On Off Off
    (What I want) Off Off On

    I thought this may have been related to the display number (in the Display settings).

    I reordered the cables so that my displays were now showing as 3, 1, 2.

    But I get the same behaviour! "Second screen only" makes monitor 3 the only screen.

    I'm beginning to think it chooses in a stupid way, like by alphabetically (VG271U vs V276HL).

    Any pointers?

    Windows 10 image backup question

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 02:51 PM PST

    Every time I install a fresh Windows I have to go through a lengthy process downloading and installing the drivers, updating windows components and setting up the OS.

    How can I creat an image (snapshot) of my current Windows in ISO format and every time I format my laptop I can use this image.

    Is there a built in way to do it or any other third party software can do.

    Okay but the new microsoft edge is actually really good

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 02:26 PM PST

    Here is me talking about microsoft edge (No one asked)

    I have been using the new microsoft edge on my macbook pro and it is actually really really good. I switched my default browser from google chrome to this. I like that it is based off of chromium so I can use my chrome extensions. I also have video controls on my touch bar when watching videos and I can see tabs on my touch bar. I am so happy with the switch and I recommend people try it out.

    Raid array not detected on boot

    Hi, wondering if anyone else have this issue where my raid array is not detected when i boot into windows.

    Only way to get it detected is when I go to device manager or disk management and refresh the devices. I've had to this every time I boot in to windows to get my raid array detected.

    Sata controller is set to raid in bios and i have downloaded latest chipset and raid drivers from amd's website. The other two drives are also detected as AMD raid as on the attached screenshot

    Been using Windows 7 for a long time now and this morning I woke up to find that I can't shutdown my laptop. It says "you don't have permission to shutdown this computer" and when I click on restart it says " you don't have permission to shutdown or restart this computer".

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:39 PM PST

    Looked everywhere for the solution but nothing. Read about some worm called sasser or something and that my laptop may have been infected. Also have avast premium installed since a long time. So if anybody here know a solution then please help a brother out.

    Is Sector by Sector Clone ideal for SSD? (Question)

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:26 AM PST

    So I just got a 2tb ssd to replace my 1tb hdd. I used EaseUS to clone the 1tb drive to the 2tb and selected "optimize for ssd". I saw the option of "sector by sector" but as I did not know what that meant, I didn't do it. Over night the drive successfully clones and works really nice! But I got curious and did some google-ing, about the "sector by sector". Some sources I found say to select both "optimize for ssd" and "sector by sector" when cloning with EaseUS. Is this better or worse in any way? Did I mess up and should do it again? The drive seems to be working really fast. I just want to make sure that I optimized this SSD the best, and don't lose out on any speed, or somehow ruin the drive. Any insight on this would be much appreciated.

    What does this mean?

    Why can't I decline it?

    I just wanted to briefly log in to the Microsoft Store with my old account to check my purchases, nothing else. Why is Microsoft attaching all these strings to this? How can I undo this if I choose to accept it?
