Win11 24H2 26100.4351 When I right click on a folder, the section at the bottom where it shows icons for Cut, Copy, Rename or Delete on occasions has its background cut in half. Doesn't happen when those icons are shown at the top. Sometimes it work correctly and other times it does this (see...

Thanks pepanee but unfortunately it didn't work either. I ran the BAT file as administrator then rebooted. Then checked the location app permission and the 10,000 entries were still there. I also copied the code and made my own BAT file but that didn't work either. I assume 10,000 is the...

Thanks glasskuter, but I don't appear to have the CLEAR option.

I use an app called Homedale to view nearby Wi-Fi signals. This helps me choose which channels are best to use for my router. It uses the Location service in Windows 11 24H2 (26100 4349). It scans my area every few seconds. When I go to Settings/Privacy & Security and click on 'Location' under...

Am I allowed to say... Brink for President. :shawn:

I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for Brink and all the help I get from this forum. Give all of yourselves a pat on the back (y)

All good here. First time I didn't have any SFC errors or component store corruption after installing a Windows Update. Took ages to download the update and then around 3 minutes to install before rebooting. Took nearly 30 minutes in total.

You can hide it (or change the duration it shows for) by adding this to an elevated Command Prompt bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 0 Just add the number of seconds to the end of the timeout. Or you can remove the boot manager screen by opening macrium reflect and deleting it in the 'create...

From what I remember reading about a portable audio mini-disc I had (remember them), the clicking noise is when the head has a problem reading the data on the disk and it (slams) moves the head quickly to the park position in order to realign the head which it thinks may be out of alignment. But...

That screenshot you posted doesn't look like Windows 11. it's more like Windows 10. Unless Windows 11 Home version is different, I've only ever used Pro.

When I had an issue with another Windows Update failing I found turning my Antivirus off temporarily (Eset Nod32 in my case) fixed the issue.

You could try using ccleaner or other tools to see if it finds where the uninstaller is. It should be listed in Settings/Apps/Installed Apps. Right click to find the uninstall option.

Glad you both got it fixed. (y)

Does Microsoft intend updating the leftovers from previous versions of Windows in Windows 11? I mean, when you right click on the recycle bin and pick empty, you get a non-themed (I use Dark Theme) pop up with tiny text which is hard to read on my 4K monitor. I appreciate things like Disk...

I've finally fixed the issue where every time I check for Windows Updates, "Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 10.0.27777.1008)" shows up constantly. It says it installs and completed, but the next time I check for Windows Updates, it's back. I know a lot of people have...
