Hello, this is my first post, and I created this account today because I have been having a frustratingly enormous amount of BSODing happening to my computer lately. This has been going on for a period of about a couple weeks now, with an increasing frequency as time goes on. The problem is that I cannot figure out exactly what causes them because I get different error messages almost every time...

Hello, I have to return a bunch of Samsung tablets to the factory default image to be on-sold but I'm running into trouble.

I got the install.wim file from the recovery partition so I tried using a...

Hello everyone, I initially got this laptop in Windows 8.1, until I upgraded to Windows 10 and reverted back to 8.1 by mistake. (This is how my OS change went through, *Windows 8.1 → Windows 10 Upgrade → Clean Install Windows 10 *→ Clean Install Windows 8.1**) Thing is, when I upgraded to Windows 10 (NOT Clean Install, jus upgrade), the sound was working as usual, once I did the clean...

I despise windows 10. I was *forced* to upgrade two days ago. The pop up had been happening for months and I was able to just disregard it. Where was the option *NOT* to upgrade to W10!? Eventually it somehow froze my windows update because it gave me no option to install other important updates without installing W10. I got that fixed eventually and stayed on 8.1 for a while longer. They made...

I use a three year-old Acer Aspire V3-571-6698, running on Windows 8.1. A few days ago, the Internet would cut off at random. To fix this, I would try to disconnect and re-connect from the modem, but in doing so, it would tell me that I can't connect to the network. After that, all available connections suddenly drop to only one bar, regardless of the strength before it happens (and usually, it...

Seriously, how do the people who work for the richest person in the entire world (bill gates, richest person in the world) making the world's main computer OS sit around and make this stuff? Do they say, 'Let's make Windows 10 even worse than 8 was to XP, no?". "Let's remove functionality from photo viewer, and so many other things, and replace it with a useless app that does less and is stupid,...

I just updated Windows 8.1 a few days ago on a system that rarely gets used. I turned it on again today and found that Windows Update now tells me that there are 215 important updates and 6 optional updates. Has my system forgotten that it has ever been updated? Also, will I have to take any action to get Windows 10? I had it installed and then had to restore to factory. Thanks Jim

IObit System Care, Malware, Uninstaller and Defrag were installed on my father's laptop by a friend when he first got it. When I visit him and use his laptop (as is the case now) I see that he never updates these programs and wonder if he needs them. Is there a good reason to keep them? Is the security that comes with 8.1 not good enough alone? If it isn't is Malwarebytes a better addition to...
