  1. Hi Gloria, Give this article a read and let me know if it fixes your issues.
  2. Is your computer managed by your Tech department t work? Sounds like they might be uninstalling your software honestly.... Does it happen when you are not on the company network?
  3. It will really just depend on the game @Ladan. What I would do is make sure you are running the latest video drivers, BIOS for your PC and last resort - uninstall and reinstall the game that's not working. Be sure to copy off any saved games you have first so you don't lose progress (if that's tracked).
  4. Simple google search shows this might be a part of a Citrix client. Try an uninstall/reinstall of any Citrix software on your client. Start with Citrix Receiver and go from there.
  5. Awesome additions to the article Jack. Thank you for the feedback. Just checked my USB settings under Power Management and made the updates. Thank you!
  6. Is this not the same issue here: Thought you already fixed it? More details here: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/make-windows-10-highlight-underline-menu-shortcut-keys/
  7. Just contact Microsoft manually to activate. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/activate-windows-10-license-microsoft-support/ This is a typical issue. Keep us updated here plz!
  8. My suggestion is to just do a quick repair of Office. It should fix your issues in most cases. Control Panel > Programs and Features > Select Office App > Change > Quick Repair (See Below) If that doesn't work, try an Online Repair.
  9. Not a hopeless situation - Give this article a read: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-windows-10-wont-boot-startup-repair-bootrec/ It explains many of the issues you're running into. BOOTREC is going to be your friend here.
  10. Heya - there could be a number of issues here. Give this article a read and try the suggestions: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/what-to-do-windows-10-upgrade-fails/ Let us know if you're still stuck.
  11. Can you get access to a working Windows 10 box? Here's an article that talks about how to fix a box that won't boot and repair it from a black screen at boot. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-windows-10-wont-boot-startup-repair-bootrec/
  12. This happens a lot at work. You walk away from your computer and boom - someone updates your language... not good. Here's a guide on how to add / remove and change your language settings for Windows 10.
  13. It sounds like something on your box is messing with your file association table. That's not good. Make sure to do a full sweep of your system. Could be a virus/malware... If you goto the command prompt when this is happening, type: assoc .exe If should look like this: If it doesn't you can fix it using this command (launch cmd.exe using admin) and then reboot. assoc .exe=exefile You can also mess around in the registry using this as a guide - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2688326/can-t-open--exe-files-in-windows-7-or-windows-vista
  14. Do you have access to a working Windows 10 PC so you can create repair media? Sounds like your MBR (Master boot record) has become corrupted. Could also be a bad Drive or PC component. I would try to repair Windows 10 using the details at the link you mentioned above and here https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-black-screen-windows-10/.
  15. Where are you getting this popup? Inside Chrome or when you launch Chrome, it prompts you to set your default to chrome?
  16. Hi @jinxedbomb - @andre wrote a great article on this here: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-black-screen-windows-10/ Give that a read and let me know if that solves your issue.
  17. Hi @hgknutsen so WIFI was working for a short time after the upgrade then it stopped?
  18. HI @rajeshkc681 - So during the day, your system will just randomly do a shutdown? Have you looked at your event logs and reviewed system and application logs? Windows Key + R > Type eventvwr > Windows Logs > System or Application I would start here. It should show some info regarding the shutdown. Let us know back here what you find.
  19. So.... Do we have any Trekkie fans out there? So far, what do ya think of the new star trek spinoff? Thoughts? Comments? What do ya think? I JUST started watching the series. Just wrapped up episode 3. No spoilers plz... -S
  20. The fastest path would be to just call Microsoft or get them in Help Chat. Should be able to get you rolling ASAP.
  21. Hi @pcdaycare4u - If I were you, I would head over to the Toshiba Driver Site - http://support.toshiba.com/drivers, type in your computer make/model and grab the latest BIOS. This can be key with Windows 10 updates. That said... not all Hardware will be supported and now that 1709 is released, you might want to just skip 1703 and go direct with 1709. @andre just posted a blog article which lists Toshiba as supporting 1709 however, you will need to get the latest updates first and go from there.... keep us updated what works for you please! Thanks!
  22. Great question Randy. My setup looks like this: TB16 Docking Station - Mini Display Port OUT to Monitor 1 DisplayPort IN (Yes, I have a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable) Monitor 1 - DisplayPort OUT to Monitor 2 DisplayPort IN Obviously, my setup is unusual in that I'm daisy chaining my monitors together. Most monitors don't have IN/OUT for DisplayPort. That said, the Dell TB16 Dock supports Mini-DisplayPort, DisplayPort, and HDMI. Being that Mini DisplayPort is just a miniature version of DisplayPort, my setup works flawlessly. Hope that helps you out! -Steve
