by Guest Ellie Keisling- 0 replies

My laptop has been stuck on the "repairing disk errors" screen for about three days now, I've tried troubleshooting using the /scannnow command, it didn't work and just started back up on the disk repair screen and then the "automatic disk repairs didn't work" blue screen. I've tried resetting it, once with the local drive, that download got stuck on 2% for about 6ish hours, then I tried resetting again with the cloud download but that one got stuck on 99% for over an hour and a half. I'm assuming theres malware on the laptop but I'd rather try everything I can at home before having to spend m Continue reading...

So basically, I fixed here my windows update problems and windows defender issues, after all those problems were solved, my download speed for some reason in platforms like Steam/Epic games just became slow, its not what is was before. So basically here is my speed test results. Before the issue appeared after solving some issues, the speed was stable steam obtained at avg 70-90MB/s, now no matter what server it is, its either 15-50 and fluctuating. I tried to see if it's IPS issue or whatever it was, and the way to see it was running the speed test and update to see if the connectivity is goi Continue reading...

Hello MicrosoftMy laptop's, a Acer Swift 314-41-R6YG, storage is using 178gb of storage for systems and reserved files of the 237GB, about 75%. My research suggests this should be in and around 20-30 gb I am fairly new to solving laptop issues and am sorry for any amateur language or approaches I am using. As requested I have taken screenshots to back up my numbers but for the life of me I cannot get them to upload. Very frustrating. I do hope the next writings make sense.Fixes I have tried from reading forums with people discussing this issue include:Used WinDirStat as the administrator to lo Continue reading...

Hi, so I recently got a new laptop and in setting it up, I wanted to install all of my previous apps. Apparently, one of those apps is no longer available in the Microsoft Store and it has now prevented me from updating anything. I tried canceling it, nothing, tried resetting the store, nothing, tried ending the task of the store in task manager, nothing, uninstalled the app, nothing.I have also been having some internet adapter issues, and when I try to run the troubleshooter, nothing happens. No window pops up, get help will not pop up, nothing.I really don't want to have to reset my PC, eve Continue reading...

Does anyone else have this issue?I have least problems on Brave browser and the most on Edge. If I do anything on my pc while casting it starts. I have 16 GB or ram. Continue reading...

A few days ago, I had issues with a lockdown browser for school on my laptop, but afterward, I was able to fix all the issues with it. However, after that, I got an HP bios update, and now whenever I turn on my laptop, even though my network is selected to be connected automatically, I need to manually click connect in order to connect. I have even turned on the Windows troubleshooter and it didn't find anything wrong with my internet connection. I also checked my network connections and did a network/wifi reset, but the issues still occur. Also whenever my laptop goes into sleep mode, it agai Continue reading...
