  1. Placing an item on desktop (sometimes) displaces desktop icons

    I have had this problem for quite some time - I just live with it. Every time I do a copy/paste to the desktop it goes to the top left corner, then I have to drag it to where I want it. Tried unchecking "align icons to grid" and it made no difference. Also tried unchecking "auto arrange icons" -...
  2. Windows update error 0x80070103

    Well, still good for me (see my mail above). Strange thing is that this morning the Reliability Monitor showed that Windows tried twice to update 7 drivers, and shows that they all failed. However, Windows Update page does not show anything, except "You're Up To Date".
  3. Windows update error 0x80070103

    Thanks cool59 - that worked for me. (after the restart the list of bad updates was still there but I hit "pause for 1 week" and then "check for updates" and they all disappeared)
  4. Win Update KB5017859 Cumulative Update Preview .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8, and 4.8.1 - Sept. 20

    I tried a few things but was unable to resolve the problem with KB5017859 repeatedly trying to install, so I reverted to 21H2, let it install KB5017859, and now reinstalling 22H2. Fortunately I didn't have any important stuff on this computer.
  5. Win Update KB5017859 Cumulative Update Preview .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8, and 4.8.1 - Sept. 20

    My computer updated to 22H2 and now keeps trying to install KB5017859, which keeps failing. I understand this update is only for 21H2 so how do I stop it trying to install ??
  6. Latest Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 11

    I am sometimes seeing Hardware Error Live Kernel Event 141 in the Reliability Monitor. This corresponds in the event log to “Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered 4101”. I have been trying all the new drivers and had stopped Windows updating drivers using...
  7. Solved Windows 11 major startup problem on my laptop

    Try Ctl - Alt - Del then sign out and then sign back in again.
  8. How often should clock synchronize ?

    Thanks for that wpcoe - they certainly hid that well ! So it seems there is a bug in the "Last successful time sync" shown when right clicking date/time shown at bottom right. Mine is showing 1 Sep 21 4:47pm But when I go to "Internet Time" as you describe above it shows "The clock was...
  9. How often should clock synchronize ?

    Well, if I do "sync now" it updates the time so I guess the Windows server must be working OK. Secondly, I cannot see in Windows 11 how to change the time server.
  10. How often should clock synchronize ?

    I noticed that my clock did not seem to be synchronizing with time.windows.com (If I hit “sync now” it updates fine.) I found on the internet that this reg entry should give the time in seconds for sync interval...
  11. Windows 11 insider preview problem

    W hen I first installed Win 11, I ended up with a black screen. Did Ctl-Alt-Del, then sign out and then sign in and everything then worked fine.
  12. Insider KB5004564 Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Build 10.0.22000.51 - June 28

    Just installed Dev Build - went OK but very slow, except that I ended up with a black screen and only the cursor. Tried reboot - same thing. There was no interaction possible that I could see except ctl-alt-del. I signed out and back in again and all is now good ! HP600 G1 i5 4th gen, TPM 1.2...
