UPDATE: I ran scf /scannow and it did fix errors. Below are the relevant lines from the logfile: Comments on what might have been accomplished with these repairs?

Thanks. And in fact, I remember that when I logged into the "other" profile, I got a message saying Windows Explorer had crashed. But then, if I remember correctly, the screen built itself and then everything was good and normal. Below are my filtered critical errors. The 41 at the top must...

Two days ago I did the March 2024 updates, including KB5035853, at the end of the day, with the computer completing a restart after installation. The next morning I got the computer's login screen, but upon entering the correct login credentials, the screen went black. I flailed away on some...

Elementary questions, sorry: By doing so, I retain all my existing FF settings, right? - cookies, history, passwords, everything (in asking this I realize that you'd said copy my profile there, so that answers that, I think) How do I update to the next "stable" version of FF - am I supposed to...

The bug I'm reporting definitely happened in 123.0. And my computers automatically update FF when a new update is pushed, so I know for a fact that until 123.0 was installed late last week, I didn't have this problem. I've seen "unintended consequence" bugs in FF (and all software), where an...

I am not sure if this helps with my description, but see the image below: This is an incoming text message via my google pixel phone. It shows up in the bottom right of the screen, as always. So do incoming GSuite business email messages (gmail). Prior to the Firefox update to 123.0, I...

This happens in both Windows 11 (23H2) for me, and on another computer with Windows 10. Since my Firefox 64-bit updated to 123.0 last week, when I get a "bottom right of the screen" alert - such as an incoming text message on my google pixel, or an incoming GSuite business email - typing that I...

Thanks. It sounds narrow and silly, but the seconds running and visible would be distracting. I'd only want to see seconds if setting an analog watch, or some other rare need to know time to the second (and of course I know that my phone and this same computer could bring up an atomic time...

In earlier version of Windows 11 - and all prior Windows versions - if I clicked on the clock in the lower right corner of the display, I'd see a running clock including seconds. Now what I see is as shown below, the notifications. The notification "bell" icon and the clock display are one...

Marking the thread as solved - the recent files now show up if I click "home" from a jump list.

After I posted this, I had tried some of those suggestions, and noticed that my recents were there - in a spot I'd not expected - if I clicked "home" from the jump list. This was on my work computer, and with it being the US Thanksgiving weekend now, I'll not be back at my office until Monday...

The "recent files" option on my jump lists - I use this all the time if adding attachments to gmail - seems to have disappeared since 11/15, when the most-recent Windows updates were applied to my machine. The "show recent files" options are correctly set in my personalization and other...

Here are my enabled startup apps: I've never had this issue before. After making the post, I restarted my computer to see what would happen, and my login to my normal account went fine. Looking at my event viewer I see nothing unusual either. Lots of application errors with SmartAudio3...

My laptop updated 6/14 as I finished my workday: This morning when I opened the laptop, the normal login screen was displayed, but when I logged in, all I had was a black screen, with the mouse pointer visible. After waiting five minutes and nothing happening, I force-restarted, and same...

How to fix network printer connection issues in Windows 11 22H2 was the solution. Computer in question is Home edition, so I had to use Regedit. The RPC registry key did not exist. So I had to create the key, then add the RpcOverTCP and RpcOverNamedPipes Dword keys, with values as shown...
