  1. All passwords disappeared - Microsoft Edge

    I experience the same problem of disappearing Passwords with Edge. I now save (export) them manually and I am therefore able to easily restore them, but its frustrating when it happens. I'm not certain of the cause, but it may be when I use CC cleaner, I moved to Chrome which is easy to get back...
  2. Onedrive ~ sharing file contents only.

    It seems that I had not used the same MS account for all 3 as I had thought, now I have done this. My server (desktop) has 70% of the desktop icons with a standard blue color and the arrow that tells me "make sure OneDrive is running and try again" there is no hidden icon in tasks bar. How do...
  3. Onedrive ~ sharing file contents only.

    Thanks for the answers, I'm working my way through them. One day I will figure out NAS. The 2nd Desktop, I use mostly as a server to store backups of my many files from over the years. However, at other times, like now, I'm in my workshop and its easier to use it as a desktop. For now, I'd...
  4. Onedrive ~ sharing file contents only.

    I know a lot of people don't like Onedrive and it certainly has some issues for me but - I'd like it to sync my Office 365 files between my 3 PC's. 2 desktops and 1 Laptop. Onedrive seems to have changed a lot in past W11 updates (all are W11 Pro networked and running version 23H2. I don't want...
  5. BIOS refuses to update

    If the reset didn't work, old school solution is to remove the CMOS battery for a several minutes with any available jumper in "clear BIOS" position and after putting back to normal, reinsert the battery.
  6. IP Config results flash up and disappear.

    Thanks. Any idea why IP config does not stay on screen?
  7. IP Config results flash up and disappear.

    Title says all really. I tried various versions of the command, but the results always disappear immediately. I found a recommendation to use: cmd /k ipconfig /all The results stay on screen, but only list for my own PC, not all the devices on my LAN. I don't expect a list of my Wi-Fi devices...
  8. Control OneDrive duplicating desktop Icons

    Thanks for the info. I'll check it out during the week.
  9. Control OneDrive duplicating desktop Icons

    I quite like being able to get my emails and working files via One drive, I may be using 1 of 3 PC's in the household. What drives me nuts is one drive duplicating my desktop icons. Badly I hasten to add, most of the icons copied over don't work and why do many have what looks like a folder or...
  10. Solved W11 Sign in and Network access.

    Resolved, I was using my PC name instead of Administrator:rolleyes: Access now OK to server.
  11. Solved Not able to access or see a media server PC over the local network

    I found this thread very useful - thanks. I just wish that MS didn't ruin the screen shots by moving the features around with seemingly every update
  12. Solved W11 Sign in and Network access.

    Not an issue for me - I just want to access the PC's on my Notwork... Maybe I need to use local network settings.
  13. Solved W11 Sign in and Network access.

    Well, I followed your instructions and rebooted, but still can't access my server. I tried from the server to access my PC and while can see the PC and default and user tabs, all the content folders of default are empty. Although there is some content on the PC. Do I need to make the same change...
  14. Solved W11 Sign in and Network access.

    So, I'm old enough to have been through almost every windows iteration and my memory is failing. I was experimenting with a backup SW and managed to kill the windows installation on my primary PC, of course the backup didn't work either. In the end I had to use my recovery USB to start over...
