Many thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for something that would show the apps in, say, icon format and enable me to run them.

In my "All apps" list of installed programs there is at least one that by using Everything I located inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder. This is a hidden folder that I'm denied access to it anyway. I'm wondering if there's a way to list all programs that may be in the WindowsApps...

Thank you for the information. It was actually the Author information that puzzled me because I thought that I had erased that user. Anyway based on what you wrote and what happened a little while ago I must have created Local user at some point after the Windows clean installation. Sadly, I'm...

Trying to use Task Scheduler, how may I set a task to run at three specific times every day, that is at 08:00, 18:00 and 22:00? Would I have to create three separate tasks? I don't want the task to run after 22:00. Another question is the "Configure for" options given in the General tab of the...

I'm having a problem with Task Scheduler that I don't know how to solve. I recently re-installed Windows from the beginning. The previous installation was erased and so were my programs which I re-installed in due course. During the Windows installation Windows gave a default user name. After...

They have until Autumn 2024 to make suitable changes (like the rest of us).

In order to ensure privacy you can encrypt your files that are backed up in the cloud. As regards a service provider going out of business, if Microsoft goes out of business then there will be much more to worry about on a global scale than just one's backups.

As long as you follow the 3-2-1 backup rule it's fine. Three backups, on at least two different storage media, one at a remote location.

@hsehestedt Great tip, thank you.

Not to say that I'm not confused, but I am! However, the link to Eleven Forum was interesting. I looked through my saved keys and I used ShowKeyPlus with them. I have a "Windows 7 Professional OEM:SLP" key, a "Win 8 RTM Professional Retail" key, and a "Win 10 RTM CoreSingleLanguage OEM: DM"...

Thank you for the information. I don't remember precisely the history of my Windows installations over time other than the fact that on a desktop PC which I bought in 2010 I had Windows 7 Professional. I then upgraded it to Windows 8 Pro, 8.1 Pro and 10 Pro as each of these editions came out. I...

When I bought my laptop it had come with Windows 10 Home, but I upgraded it to Windows 10 Pro.

Here's a mystery that I cannot solve. I was reading a posting somewhere in Eleven Forum that mentioned running the Local Group Policy editor. Out of curiosity I thought that I could try to emulate the steps in the posting. I remember clearly using gpedit.msc in the past so that program was...

My USB hub and all four external disks attached to it are individually powered. Based on your comments is it possible that there isn't enough power for them?

The drive is the one where I keep my media files and I use it every day. However, I make backups almost continuously. Therefore I don't mind losing the data that is actually on the drive as I have more than one backup for it. The problem is that lately I did find on three or four times that the...
