Hi Not Myself. I'm currently in the strange position of having two entries for TB in Settings/App/Startup. Since I'd had no luck with starting up TB from Apps/Startup, I'd put it into shell:startup and it didn't work. I then also put it into shell:common startup and got it to startup, but all...

Hi Freebooter, I don't want to reinstall, as Thunderbird has so many settings you need to set up, as well as your email accounts and their settings. I never thought of starting up the computer and going to Task Manager, so I'll try to remember that for next time I need it. I'm not sure why, but...

Hi Freebooter, No it doesn't - that's why I need to turn it on - I've also got it in shell:Startup

In Settings/Apps/Startup, I toggle Thunderbird to On, but it reverts to Off at the next startup and the programme doesn't start up. This is fairly new behaviour - any ideas? I also have it in shell:startup

I'e solved it. The stupid Google Pixel 7a, when it copied photos from my Redmi Note 7a, foe some unknown reason, set up two extra folders under Internal Storage/DCIM, so I had IS/DCIM/Camera (with 8 photos) and IS/DCIM/storage-01/Camera and 02/Camera with all the rest. I've moved them all to...

OK, I'm stupid - why can I only see/scroll through 8 photos of the hundreds on my phone? Edit - Seems it's only the ones in Internal storage/DCIM/Camera 1. Why are there these two sets of photos? What determines where the two are stored? 2. How do i see the ones not under DCIM/Camera?

I expect it's just my brain switching off from old age, but what are bcd and esp?

Thanks, hsehestedt. To get into the BIOS on my Mesh computer, it’s Esc or Del - or is the F11 a different command? I hadn’t realised this was a one-off setting, so have learned something. I used to be OK on BIOS stuff, but then all this UEFI, or whatever it’s called, stuff came along and I’m no...

Hi Kees, Thanks for the reply - you inspired me to check my boot options. Yesterday, I’d tried to change them so as to boot from a USB flash drive to install Win 11 from an iso to get rid of the update failed message and somehow must have messed things up and my SSD C drive had disappeared from...

Can anyone explain why my PC is giving this screen on boot? The Boot options are shown below. After going to boot options and selecting Save and Restart, it boots normally once, then gives the error screen every boot after this

No luck with that either

This is just deleting a folder - Ive already tried that. Also turned off antivirus and firewall; also clean boot.

Hi, I've tried every method in this post Is Windows 11 KB5034765 Not Installing/Stuck? Try 6 Fixes!, and still failed to install this update. Any ideas?

Hello. Yesterday, I thought I'd try a clean install from the iso on USB and after backup to Onedrive. Took quite a while, but I eventually got Windows installed and assorted icons on the Taskbar, some of which worked, while the rest didn't - nothing restored on Desktop. To avoid reinstalling...

Thanks, pseymour. Maybe I'm not as stupid as I was beginning to think! I'll use your links, but it's good to know the registry keys are normal
