Those you get in their automatic replacement plan, this is true. And I get that. And I don't have a problem with that. It is actually a great...
Really? You got a message that actually says that? If so, that is pretty low - even for HP. I am guessing you have no choice but to buy...
Well, back in my old radio maintenance days, we used to call that "FM" - but it was not for frequency modulation but for a certain type of magic!...
No. Defender runs scheduled scans once a week anyway. And again, it is constantly scanning everything coming in. So additional scans are actually...
If you have not dinked with any of the Windows Updates default settings, that is exactly what will happen. Defender and Windows will stay current...
First, if you have not changed the defaults, there is no need for you to manually run Windows Update for Microsoft Defender (formally Windows...
Make sure you reconnected all the cable correctly and securely. Let's hope nothing else was damaged during this whole ordeal. If me, I would try...
Cool! And a lot cheaper than a new motherboard and all the hassles that go with that. Now you won't have to worry about the CPU being compatible,...

Not sure what you expect by replacing the memory sticks. If TM is showing your 4Gb is there, the RAM is working. That said, no software based...
Yeah, 4GB of RAM is barely enough to support Windows itself, along with your security software, hardware drivers, and other apps running too. You,...
I concur. Are you an bone fide expert at memory resource management? Did you know that the page file size is NOT a "set and forget" setting? Do...
I recommend performing a “cold” reboot. By “cold”, I mean shut down the computer and flip the master power switch on the back of the power supply...
Great. Glad you got it resolved and thanks for coming back and posting your followup. One more thought. You should expect that upon occasion,...
I too prefer the W7 games, particularly Spider Solitaire. I have successfully installed them on multiple W10 systems as well as my W11 laptop from...
Ummm, W11 does not have a "file" wipe feature. You still need to use a 3rd party app or add on app like CCleaner or SDelete from Microsoft. I...
It was a great program but I stopped using it years ago when Piriform introduced their wipe feature into CCleaner called Drive Wiper. It is just...
