I had appointments & errands to take care of today so I was not home for several hours. Counting from when I went to bed last night & the time I was out, I had my system booted into safe mode for over 12 hours. No, I did not do it with only 1 DIMM installed. More on that below. I had all 4...

Oops. Sorry about that. Try this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/115eTTTNWCUq_Ww60xmAk-d8--5p-kDbt/view?usp=sharing

On the subject of testing my RAM, something I may never get around to doing, I think I could shorten things a bit. I don't need to run 16 tests. I can test with a single DIMM in each of the 4 slots. If those all pass, that proves the slots are not faulty. I could then test each of the other...

Are you an opera lover too? I check the Met's calendar pretty much every day. Here's the latest batch of dumps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/115eTTTNWCUq_Ww60xmAk-d8--5p-kDbt/view?usp=drive_link I'm going to run CCleaner now to clean up these dumps. I think this file I've just uploaded...

I truly appreciate your help. But I don't feel like I'm moving towards an answer. I am convinced this is a software error. My File Explorer keeps crashing. My Firefox keeps crashing. Those seem to be the only pieces of software that are overtly having trouble. In the case of File Explorer...

Several days? You will not be surprised when I tell you that isn't going to happen. This isn't a spare computer that I can leave in a corner running a RAM test while everything else in my life goes on as normal. This is my only computer. (My phone doesn't count.) I cannot be without it for...

Thank you for paying attention to my problem. I wish I hadn't had to create yet another membership on yet another forum. I had to join tenforum in order to download the .bat file. Oh well. Add that to sevenforums & here. I didn't fill out my profile because that information is in my...

My BSOD report is over here: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/recent-rash-of-bsods.23720/

I've recently been suffering a rash of BSODs. I think I have calmed things down by doing 2 things: First, sfc /scannow identified a corrupt module it couldn't repair. It eventually turned out that my Component Store contained some corruption. Repairing that allowed sfc to correct the corrupt...

@zbook Thank you very much for the link to the log collector. I did have about 18 hours at least of uninterrupted service from my system. But then, unexpectedly, it just BSODed on me a short while ago. I was actually on this page & I had typed a word I wanted Firefox to find in this page...

Well . . . Things have been much improved. But I've been seeing with gradually increasing frequency lately that File Explorer crashes. It's really annoying, too. It will be in background. I'll be doing something in some other task. Suddenly everything flickers & the order of my icons on...

I was getting random BSODs. I have a suspicion about what originated this, just a couple of days ago, but I'd rather not point the finger at something that I'm only suspicious about. But after nearly 4 months of no problems on W11, this just started. My system was terribly unstable. I...

Since I started running W11 about 2 months ago, any time I executed a .bat file, it would run in Command Prompt. Today, these all started running in PowerShell. I'm glad I found this thread & the explanation of going into the Settings & changing the default. I've switched it back & my .bat...

I am so glad this thread is here. It saves me the embarrassment of creating a duplicate thread. I am getting exactly what the original poster @BEH describes. I have read & followed these 2 tutorials by the omnipresent (probably also omnipotent & omniscient) @Brink very carefully...

I'd like to be able to open a file explorer window with multiple tabs. I've tried something like this in a command prompt: explorer c: d: I was hoping this would open a window with the first tab being the root of the C drive & the second tab being the root of the D drive. But it just doesn't...
