This morning one drive has prompted me (for the umpteenth time) to set up backup on my PC. Instead of clicking 'remind me later' I clicked next, assuming that I would be given an opportunity to select the folders to backup. But no, OneDrive simply started backing up the my pictures folder to...

Both commands report BITS service as normal. When I try to manually download the exchange offline address book with outlook, I get 'Offline address book Connecting to Microsoft Exchange' for a long time and then an error message. I get this on all of my laptops. It seems the error is either with...

This is what I am getting with bitsadmin /list: {9FAC5E8D-5483-47B7-838C-D47AB488AB53} 'Microsoft Outlook Offline Address Book abf761d552924f45b7d43bd3cae4827e' ERROR 0 / 1 0 / UNKNOWN I am also getting an Updating Address Book message in Outlook continuously.

Well, it does. If I remove all the BITS jobs, they get re-added at a rate or around 10 a week. Obviously these jobs do something (it seems related to Windows Update). After a few weeks the maximum number of jobs is reached and the error message starts appearing. Something that got done before...

Thanks, this lowers my anxiety level. Windows updates runs ok. I have now done a manual reset of the BITS queue and the issue has disappeared for the time being

@idgat Wouldn't it worry you that at every boot there are BITS jobs that should be run which are not run?

The same issue has been raised in this thread. I have been looking at my Windows error logs recently and during every boot process the following error is produced six times. "A new BITS job could not be created. The current job count for the user P16s\NNNNNNNNN (60) is equal to or greater than...

Thanks @zbook The link for the WPR Toolkit (without the whole shebang) seems to be dead. Any other place to download just the WPR?

I am trying to troubleshoot slow boot on my PC using this process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/wpt/optimizing-performance-and-responsiveness-exercise-2 I have set up everything according to the instructions. When I start WPR, I get the following message: Grateful...

Not at all sure whether currently TV in the UK is 25Hz. 625 lines - Wikipedia 25i seems to have been used waaay back. Today I would guess that everywhere in Europe 50Hz is being used. The issue is the monitor which can only display 60Hz. In that case some other part of the signal chain has to...

thanks everyone. My display adapter is AMD, but the utility does not offer any other refresh rates than 60Hz. I tried setting up a custom resolution with CRU. It allowed me to create a 50Hz profile. But choosing the profile resulted in a black screen. So my screen really seems to be limited to...

Thanks, unfortunately there is no 50Hz option available. The app 12noon Display Changer only lists 60Hz as available rates for the screen. Laptop screens with changeable display rates are few and far between. That's why I am looking for the graphics adapter to do the conversion from 50Hz to 60Hz.

I have two laptops which both have 60Hz only screens - HP Envy x360 Laptop 13 with Samsung OLED Screen - Lenovo ThinkPad P16s with IPS Screen Whenever I watch European TV through my provider's app (Swisscom, Sunrise), there is considerable jitter (obviously, as a 50Hz signal is being forced to...

I am doing a clean install of Windows 11 on a new ThinkPad P16s. I have installed Microsoft 365 and now Outlook is throwing the attached error message. I have set Outlook as the default for all file types listed under Settings / Apps. There are many instructions in various forums to modify...

EDIT: I was able to solve the issue following the instructions here I have not yet tested whether I can burn DVDs, but the DVD drive does not show any errors in device manager. So far so good
