On my desktop computer, thumbnails seem to adjust to the shape of the document. They look more like a rectangle, including on the desktop. On my laptop, especially on the desktop, they are "squares." They are thumbnails, but documents look bad...a lot of white space on the sides. I have...

I originally tried Professional Plus 24 as a replacement to 21. That was about a year and a half ago. Even though Windows Settings showed the correct version, it looked no different than 21. Last year, I found a deal for Home & Business. That one worked...the revised user interface, icons, etc.

I know there are a variety of taskbar resource monitor apps out there. I've always liked Traffic Monitor because you could get it to blend in...i.e. look like it was meant to be there...matching Windows date/time format. However, it has failed to keep up with modern CPU and GPU generations and...

A few weeks ago, File Explorer (including desktop) stopped showing files as thumbnail previews...they are just the default app icons. I have checked the usual places: File Explorer>Folder Options>View. The always show icons box is unchecked. Same for Windows Settings...show thumbnails instead...

My file explorer is still only showing file details/size in KB. Is there a setting I need to change?

The same one referenced earlier in this thread...0x800f0915 following a RestoreHealth command. Before I read this thread I thought I was getting for some other reason. I did a repair by reinstall and it was back to normal. I let the update execute again, and the error is back. That is when I...

For those of us with the DISM error, is the recommendation just to wait for another update/fix?

I realized I had a typo above. This was the motherboard in a system I was looking at: PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4｜Motherboards｜ASUS USA I would've preferred the non-Wifi version, as you mention, but this one has it pre-installed.

Thanks all...I should've asked my question more generally. Since I posted I did some more reading. Basically, I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade a Wifi 6 or 6E motherboard (e.g. a few years old) to Wi-fi7 easily. Some boards have the chip soldered on and others apparently can...

I'm currently using an "ancient" Intel 7th Gen machine right now...time to finally upgrade. I'm deciding on building again or simply buying a pre-built or used machine. I have a question about modern motherboards...an Asus model in this case. I believe this Z790-P WIFI D4 has an integrated...

I stumbled across this thread again. It is already 8 pages long so please point me to a post if it has already been answered. My issue with some of the options is that they take a long time to load. Of the many options, are there some that both have good basic editing tools and "load"...

You're right...wrong choice of words I should've said "default" order. It was my preference to keep it that way, and I'm also not a experienced as a lot of people on this forum. EFI>16MB Reserved>C:

What size is your System Partition (very first partition on drive). If it is the standard 100MB, than some HPs have issues because it is too small. My wife's HP laptop had that problem and I had to use a combination of GPart and Mintool to enlarge the partition, while moving everything else to...

UPDATE: Disregard. It took a little while but I found out that for games I needed to download a second app...Xbox Family Settings. I can now adjust communication and multiplayer/online settings. I set up a re-purposed laptop for my kids to use for school and games. I set up my sons' accounts...

I have a Dell XPS 15 9510 with 11th Gen Intel processor...several years now obviously. The Wi-fi performance has been one of the biggest frustrations. It has a Killer 1650 soldered card in it...so I can't upgrade it (as far as I know). I have read lots of complaints about Killer products over...
