windows 10 Deleted Open Office Files
by Guest psalm14one- 0 replies

I performed a Microsoft Update last night and it deleted a year's worth of files! Way to go Microsoft! You just get better and better! Not only that, the files were mainly Open Office files. Nice way to take out the supposed "competition." Some day some judge will finally come after you and your shady practices. This is not the fist time I have lost files after and update and I'm sure I am not the only one.Shameful! I'd ask for help, but I doubt any will be coming, or they will be empty suggestions. SO do I have a question? Yes! When will you stop this kind of underhanded practice? I'm sure it Continue reading...

This problem occurred after I decided to move my windows from an almost full ssd into a bigger ssd. 1. Moving was successful but my old ssd that had Windows 10 in it had an invisible 3GB used. I couldn't stand that even when it's so little. So I clean it with a command prompt. (My mistake I know)2. My windows corrupted. Obviously what I removed was a system file. So I reinstalled windows 10. Everything was fine until I decided to play games. All the games I tried, crashed instantly. List of the games and their error are as follows:- Final Fantasy XIV (Fatal DirectX Error 0x00000020)- Infinity Continue reading...

windows 10 Windows 10 Thumbnails not showing, Starts with SSD and then affects my PC... please help.
by Guest DM1199- 0 replies
- 4 views
So this problem keeps happening every time I access my old HDD, the thumbnails will show for like 2 minutes, then they will disappear and all you see is the white icons and maybe a few normal thumbnails. Windows 10 file explorer then starts to act weird, the green loading bar never finishes loading like normal and the only way to fix it is to restart my PC. This is a massive problem because, now if I want to access my files, I have to keep restarting my PC over and over again. I thought this was happening because my HDD is old, like 4 years, but when I tried to access my 1-year old SDD, the sa Continue reading...
