The best fat32 formatter for windows 10/11?
No FAT32 option when formatting my USB drive from windows 10 and windows 11 file explorer. It is a 64GB SanDisk USB 3.0 flash drive and currently there is only one NTFS partition on it. I need to format the USB to FAT32 as NTFS is not supported by Mac. Pls recommend the best fat32 formatter tool for Windows 10 or Windows 11. Thank you
Question C:\\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts is not functioning, being ignored ?
I have a new installation of a Windows 10 Pro installed, fully updated (given to me by a friend who is closing down some of his shop inventory he doesn't use). It works quite well, except I am trying to add some aliases for local network devices. The file in the title is not corrupt, and it has correct permissions. I can ping the dotted-decimal address I've added to a NAS there, but I wanted to simply refer to it as "nas" sometimes instead of memorizing the IP address. Can't do it. I've even gone so far as to load the file in an editor which shows hidden characters, e.g., tabs, newline, carriage return, so on. The file has been restored and reedited with different editors (run as administrator). The regular user can read that file. The same edits work on other Windows 10 machines, and I have many times rebooted and flushed DNS cache.PC going to sleep every 15 seconds!
I had been putting off the upgrade to Windows 11 but eventually gave in to Microsoft's constant reminders. Install seemed to go OK, but as soon as I started to use it the screen would suddenly black-out every 15-20 seconds (whether I was using the keyboard/mouse or not). That is, not random. Had to re-enter my Windows pin to get access, but had to then type pretty quickly before the next "shutdown"! No crash, the computer had just gone to sleep! I checked the obvious power management settings and all seemed OK. Google search revealed a few YT videos but the solutions were very complex (registry stuff) and I didn't want to go that way. Experience (with previous versions of Windows) has shown that they don't normally work anyway.How can I divide one partition into two in Windows 10
Hi all, I have an external SSD 1TB for backing up my iPhone. Currently, only one NTFS partition is on this hard drive. However, there is only 200GB space being used. Now, I want to install Windows 11 on this portable SSD (free space) without losing data. My question is: how to divide partition in Windows 10 without losing data? I prefer a simple and straightforward solutions. Thank youCannot log on to windows after motherboard change
A Dell technician replaced my motherboard today. After the replacement, turning on the computer led to the BIOS being flashed. Upon rebooting, the lock screen appeared. After dismissing it, the logon screen shows my name, my Microsoft account with my picture and a message "Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device. Click to set up your PIN again." There is an option to click on for Set up my PIN. When I click on this it goes back to the lock screen. This is a Dell XPS-8960 Intel core i9 with 32 cores and 64 GB of memory running Windows 11 Pro 23H2 with all updates installed. Does anyone know how I can fix this?Photo tray
