So, this started to happen to me around 8 hours ago.Every time I go on Twitch.tv to watch some live streams, Microsoft Defender will find a Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml malware in the cache files of the browser I used to watch. I've tried different ones like Firefox, Chrome and Edge, aswell. Each of them contained the same—supposedly malicious—data file.I haven't noticed any other website causing this problem, especially no other VoD/LiveStream platform. After the first Microsoft Defender warning I received, I uninstalled my main browser and deleted all data that was in reference to it to g Continue reading...

Subject: Access Issues with Files and PermissionsDear Microsoft support,I hope this message finds you well. While reviewing my files earlier today to locate an application I had recently installed, I encountered a folder labeled "Windows Apps." When attempting to open it, I received a notification stating that I do not have the necessary permissions. As I continued to explore other files, I discovered that I am unable to access a significant number of them, regardless of the methods I have tried.Additionally, I am unable to modify the file access settings. When I attempt to do so, an error mes Continue reading...

This started a few days ago when I unplugged my controller from the PC and then the screen shuts off while the PC remains on. It then continued happening for the rest of the night and over the past couple days. I have tried multiple games and the same result occurs. Once the screen goes black there seems to be no way for me to get it back on without shutting off my pc with the power button. The audio continues to work (at least for a couple of minutes) then sometimes will shut off after a short time. I am still able to hear and speak to friends in discord but I can hear the game audio changes Continue reading...

I wanted to upgrade my laptop's ram (ASUS X441U) so I disassembled it. Thankfully I've tried some similar RAMs to see if its compatible with my old laptop and when I turned it on it was running fine, the RAM was Hynix SO-DIMM DDR4 16GB. Then after that few days went by like 3-4 days, I ended up deciding to use SAMSUNG's SO-DIMM DDR4 16GB. I put it on and then assembled everything back in place, and turned it on. It was running perfectly until I was finally done and shut my laptop down in attempt to try restarting it, and after that it was stuck on "Please wait" ASUS booting screen. I've disass Continue reading...

Recently my computer has run into an issue where it refuses to download games from the websites I get them from, which are trusted websites such as Itch.io and Gamejolt. But for whatever reason, all of my downloads will get about halfway or further before saying "Couldn't Download - Network Issue".Upon resuming the download, it immediately says "Couldn't Download - No Permissions" following the Network Issue error message. I have never had this problem until recently, and I am not sure what is causing it, but it seems like my browser just refuses to download games and other files off the web Continue reading...

i can't seem to instal the Epic online service no matter what... i've tried everything in the epic articles but to no avail.i have, however, found a couple of things that are interesting: - when running the EOS installer directly, the green progress bar reaches the end and then goes backwards, this is further enphasised by the fact that the folder Epic Online Services is created with everything in it and is then deleted after the progress bar retreats all the way. - i've tried duping the folder before it is deleted and posting it on the right place but it seems like either something is missing Continue reading...

HiProblem: I recently ticked the hidden folders icon in an attempt to see User/ appdata. When ticked a pop up with green progress bar came up and I assumed it was unhiding all the hidden files. What actually happened was it wiped my User profile, leaving only the Public user profile.Action 1: Even though my data appeared to be deleted including my desktop,etc, I immediately ran Windirstat and of course the user data block is still there. I can even open files from it one by one but I cannot get the system to recognize my user profile.Other facts: I also could not run CMD from the start window, Continue reading...

Why would spoolsv.exe legitimately spawn another spollsv.exe. I am a cyber security analyst and we have an alert that triggers often for this situation. Will this happen in an enterprise network where print servers are being used. The first spawn being action by the user and the second by the print server. I have also noticed netconn out to the print servers during this activity. 1 rpc call and then another to a random HEP. My guess is the first netconn is calling out to the print server to establish connection and the second to send the print job. Continue reading...
