  1. Tired of Snap Layouts having no memory, having to constantly resize, snap, move, etc. my applications... :-[

    I really hope I am just doing something wrong and need to be corrected, and this isn't something I am going to continue to have to deal with. I did a search and did not see anything that would help me with this. I have a 30" monitor, and the way I like to work is have some applications on the...

  2. External USB Hard Drive keeps disconnecting - Why ?!?

    My external HDD every couple of days or so gets kicked off my computer. The way I find this out is I attempt to open a recent file (either from an app like Word or from Windows 11's stupidly titled "Quick Access" section) and my computer declares that this file does not exist.

    That was the issue, thanks! Why would the computer "lose" the drive letter all of a sudden? I've been building computers since 1993, and never had this issue.

  7. I want to pick and choose my updates - how do I do this?

    Just upgraded to Win11 Home 64-bit, and am hung up on the updates function. Looks like I can either pause updates (max 5 weeks), or allow updates. If I allow updates, Windows performs the updates without my permission. I hate this. There is more than one reason why I want to pick and choose...
