    Do I need to have Windows Recovery Environment enabled?

    What happens if it is disabled? I have a perfectly working Acronis backup image of the entire drive, so do I need WRE at all? I love it that I can simply go back to all my updates, apps, and preferences reinstalled with my image. I am using Windows 10.

    Windows 10 Drive on networked laptop not accessible

    I got it working. I had left out a crucial step - I did not have "Everyone" under Security, which I thought I had added. Once I added it, I'm rocking.

    Windows 10 Drive on networked laptop not accessible

    Using Windows 10 on both PC and laptop each with a logical D: drive. I can ping each other as they are both on the same Ethernet connection. I can also see the contents of the PC's D: drive from the laptop. However, I am unable to see the contents of the laptop's D: drive from the PC. I do see...

    Annoying "File Access Denied"

    Every time I try to copy "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file " I am trying to copy large .TIB files image files from my C: drive to an external drive connected directly to the PC. I AM admin on this computer but am not using the Administrator account. The actual...

    How do I get rid of this Power shutdown confirmation dialog?

    SOLVED! Finally, thanks for reminding me that I do have Classic Shell for Windows 10 - I have had it for years on my PCs and laptops. But, I had never noticed that the laptops open up another sub-menu, with yet another Shutdown option!!! Stupid! I need to use this second option. Who knew? Thanks.

    How do I get rid of this Power shutdown confirmation dialog?

    Thanks for the info, but as shown, that option is not even displayed. I even went into Display, just in case, but I see three items that seem to unrelated.

    How do I get rid of this Power shutdown confirmation dialog?

    I had already combed through the registry. Nothing that stood out. Thanks, anyway.

    Try as I may, I cannot see a certain computer from another on my home network

    I have a PC running Windows running Windows 10 ver. 22H2 and a laptop running the same, except for a minor variation in the build. Both have an OS partition and a Data partition. I want to access the Data partition of the other from each machine, but cannot. I am able to see and map to the...

    Windows 10 bootable USB creation

    Okay, my Googling results lead me to the Media Creation tool and all that funky stuff. I don't need or want it. I just want to cut to the chase. The situation is this. I have the Windows 10 64-bit DVD and have already created an ISO. How would I proceed from this point on?

    Windows update is breaking a certain application

    @DVDR_Dog, thank you for your helpfulness and detailed responses. I resolved it simply by installing the latest version of the software, which I initially had a hard time finding. As I had a working image of the 1909 build where Dazzle worked perfectly, I did not have to reset Windows or start...

    Windows update is breaking a certain application

    I am Mr. Cleo and I just now read your mind! My mistake. Sorry. I am running Pinnacle for Dazzle for a video capture card on a Windows 10 (21H1 build). When I launch the program there is a lot of crackling and static in the audio. However, when I revert to a 1909 build image from May, it works...

    Windows update is breaking a certain application

    I am running Windows 10 Pro. A certain application had been working flawlessly all these years. It works perfectly on my May 2021 drive image backup. However, today, it behaves erratically. What is the best way to isolate any particular update(s) that might be causing this issue so that I can...
