I waited 2 weeks to makes sure that my backups were working again. It seems that the files and folders that the backup error were referring to was on my backup destination drive. the problem was that microsoft can't be bothered to make it very clear exactly what it could not write to. there is...

not sure what you are asking. KB5050411 supersedes it because it had a problem of constantly trying to install over and over..

I may have an update on this in a few days. waiting to see if backups work.

sigh™ well everything was working for 1 whole week and now it's failed again with the exact same errors.

This would occur ONLY on Sunday and Monday night when the backup ran. The rest of the week it would work fine. The gist of this is that windows backup was claiming that it could not write to a disk because my registry had a problem with some kind of permission. If that does not make sense well...

the sendmouse command worked and the computer woke up properly this morning. the next step was to add a program that starts automatically after the computer is turned on or logged out and back in again. however because this is an app from the microsoft store it is not intuitive. the more...

you may have run in to an issue that has plagued windows from the beginning of time. shlemiel the painter windows explorer cannot handle accessing a folder that contains more than a certain number of files. I don't remember how many, but it is MORE than 65000. I ran in to this during the...

Recently I needed to put a computer to sleep and wake it up in the morning at a specific time, while keeping it logged in. Simple right? WRONG! The computer also had to be logged in. First these instructions will not be detailed step by step (google it) and are not in the order I tried them...

sigh™ As is my custom, I spend hours or days trying to fix an issue, post on a forum and promptly fix it my self. I uninstalled Edge then went and looked in the folders left behind. In the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge I found a zero length file called temp with no security on...

I also found this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Download\{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062} populated with install files for every version of edge from 88.0.705.81 to 112.0.1722.68 139 of them.

Windows 10 22H2 on a windows 2008 domain I have edge Version 88.0.705.81 (Official build) (64-bit) when I go in to about and edge tries to update I get this: An error occurred while checking for updates: Check whether you have free disk space and permission to install software. We couldn't...

<rant> recently I had some strange issues crop up that made no sense, and if they generated errors at all they also did not make sense. First was this one: https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1820906 the next one happened this morning. I was making a backup to blu-ray (which worked...

and to complete the solution that was also plaguing my synology, I excluded wolf security from scanning my synology shares (which had been disabled for the qnap). now FINALLY everything is fast all the time.

as often happens when I have been trying to fix an issue for a long time, I sometimes stumble on the solution but not by searching for the symptoms. this is the fix https://nerosupport.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/44001699301-nero-applications-do-not-detect-my-disc-burner...
