Firstly, my computer began signing into a temporary account profile when I tried to log into my main one. This only happened occasionally and with a few restarts I was able to get into my main account. Then it began getting worse very quickly. I was not able to log into my account at all, it started to always log me into this "temporary profile" for whatever reason, I couldn't work out at...

I have no idea just how or where it came from; I am very careful and vigilant when installing anything; however, a few months ago, one of our machines acquired an unwanted guest --- Product Updater. I did a bit of Google-searching and read up on the situation and any guide that I found for removing the program seemed to be worse than the program itself. If I knew how to manually track down...

40 seconds stuck on "starting windows" screen... With an SSD...

Hello everyone, So I made a Ryzen build, with Windows 7. Yes I know, It's not fully compatible but I managed to install the USB drivers and installed wufuc. However I have a problem: the "starting windows" screen lasted for a normal 5-7 seconds during the first few starts, and since 2 days It's taking 40 seconds, sometimes 1 minute. I guess it's correlated with me using W7 with a Ryzen but...

My audio device has become very unstable in the past few days, and I have no idea why. Sometimes I have no audio at all, and sometimes it works in Windows, but it is working less and less frequently in Mozilla/Firefox. The screen shot below seems to suggest everything is fine. Is there some kind of diagnostic tool that I can run to check the status of things? Or, is there some...

I use/run this command-line (forget where I found it, but was told it's a reliable way to free up space) and check all the boxes : *%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535* I then run the free version of CCleaner AND follow that with an app I found here labeled "Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer". I 'assume' all 3 do 'basically' the same thing....

I did a clean installation after some failures with the July installation. Now windows update no longer shows me to download KB4338818. But it shows me the update Kb4340556, my doubt is that it is not selected by default, and I do not know if I should update it or leave it for later. You as experts, what do you recommend?

After running Linux for a while on my computer, I recently purchased an SSD, and restored Windows 7 onto it from a Recovery Disks set that I had made prior. It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I believe it should be 64bit, given that the laptop is a quad-core AMD64 processor, and originally came with 6GB of RAM. Originally, the Gateway NV75S (by Acer) laptop came with 6GB of RAM a 4GB...

I have searched and researched this and am getting a lot of conflicting information. All of the various blank DVDs that I have say 4.7-GB. Often, when burning picture files, I have went within a few mb of the 4.7-GB capacity with no negative issues that I was able to detect. However, I have read in several places that an ISO must be kept below 4-GB, else it will either refuse to burn, or...

I see this weird User when I right-click on Firefox Properties on my desktop. Does anyone know what this might be and how I get rid of it? With Admin status, I was able to alter the permissions, but not to eliminate them entirely. Pic attached.
