My Win 10 computer can see my wife Lenovo PC and I can share files, but my WIN 11 PC can't see the Lenovo WIN 11 PC. In File Explorer Network my WIN 10 computer is there and so is my WIN 11 PC, but not Lenovo. Not sure how I created a network HD from my WIN 10 PC to the Lenovo, but it works. How...

I waited and now bitlocker is gone and I went to the safe mode - so all is well Thanks

dacone I used your instructions to get rid of bitlocker and it still comes up, when I hold the Shift key and hit restart. Then the blue screen comes up and I choose troubleshoot, startup options etc. Then at the end I hit restart and that's when the bitlocker comes up. I rebooted and did your...

Last week she installed MS Word and Excel that MS tries to trick us into buying. I prefer Wordpad because it opens quickly and no nonsense. I had to jump through hoops to get it on my Win 11 computer and tried to do that on her computer and it didn't work that great, so she bought it. I'd be...

Disabling the internet did it. I was able to uninstall PC APP Store whcih was installed yesterday 7/21. Not sure how, my wife didn't do it. I'm not sure if it had soemthing to do with I rebooted her computer and it all works. Thanks everyone expecially Thank you Fabler2. Now I'll get rid of...

I’ve tried logging into her Microsoft account and I can successfully log into that but then when I try this link http://aka.ms/myrecoverykey that is supposed to get me to her bit locker code, it's in an endless loop saying trying to login and processing authentication. THis is all in my chrome...

My wife's Lenovo computer is stuck with PC App Store pop-ups. I can't get task manager, the Run box, The PC app window blocks everything. I can't get this computer to go to the safe mode or command prompt. Trying the safe mode had it go to bitlocker asking for a recovery code. This is maddening

dacrone, one of my HD's that is monitored is about 54 gigs. I have all my HD's set for a 100 gig threshold. The alert is not coming on. How can I fix this?

yes separate thresholds for separate drives is very good - no hurry. Right now things are great Thanks

Fixed. Now when I reboot it holds the 100 gig setting thanks

dacrone, Here's where I put the shortcut C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\HDD_LowDsk_Monitor_Notifier_MsgBox.exe I keep chianging it to 100 gig and upon reboot it reverts back to 200 gig. Can you confirm this on your end?

I did a few reboots with it set at 100 gig and everytime it returns to 200 gig, your initial default setting

I've done extensive testing today. I have 7 HD's connected, 3 are USB. Everything is working perfectly now. I now have the correct shortcut in my Startup folder. I added 4 HD's to the list and set it at 50 gigs. The correct alerts came up. I tried 100 gigs then 200 gigs all has worked fine. It...

Where is the Shell:Startup directory.?

My 14Tb HD has 525 free space and the alert keeps coming on incorrectly for less than 200 gigs. I close the alert and then after a while it turns back on.
