Backup problems
Hello! I hope to get some information from the community here because, so far, I couldn't find anything... I have been trying to backup my laptop before getting a new one, but I can't copy my main folder (with all documents, pictures, articles, etc) in any external hard-drive, because, no matter the capacity of the HDD (and my latest one is a 8TB...), Windows says that it needs another 56GB of space to copy the files... A more techy friend of mine, told me that one of the folder could be corrupted making think Windows to be much larger than it actually is. I did do several 'Health checks' and scan disk with no luck, no errors have been found. Is there anything else I can do please? Thank you!
Printing PDF's has stopped working?
Hi, Up until last week, I was printing downloaded PDF's from purchased files online, they had always been perfect, the "printing setup" was straightforward, the only interaction required me to custom the page number, rather than print out the whole however many pages to the PDF there was. No margins or any size of paper etc., all handled through my Smart HP Printer which I use via wifi, so they can monitor my ink requirements, so it is on all the time. Suddenly a company's PDF I have used before started printing out 5 times the size of the page needed? No matter what size you decreased it to on the print screen (it is set at 100% always has been) it had no bearing on what came out of the printer which of course could be head and shoulders or half a body, depending on how large it decided to go. Have Microsoft done some update or the other whereby we are now supposed to change it manually each time? Adobe Acrobat could sort it either, actually no help at all; I have no idea what the sizing is as I have never had to touch the settings? How am I meant to rectify this when it has never been a problem for the last 9 years I have been printing off my pictures bought on line. Today and yesterday was spent all the time, trying to figure it out, until I realised it wasn't getting any better and neither was my patience. Please help, thank you. Molly new memmber
Windows 10 version 1803 cannot be upgraded to 22H2.
The current system is Windows 10 version 1803, and routine updates have consistently failed. When attempting to upgrade to 22H2 using the “Windows 10 Easy Upgrade” tool, the tool gets stuck at the “Checking for updates” step, displaying the message: “Unable to determine if your PC is ready to continue installing Windows 10.” It is suspected that the update failure and upgrade blockage stem from the same root cause. Seeking a solution to bypass the check or repair the system to complete the upgrade.

Can't retrieve message or photos using Your Phone and Android Phone
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 [Android 10, June patch level] with Windows 10 Pro v1909. Your Phone [YP] [latest on Win 10] and Your Phone Companion [YPC] [latest] on Android. Android phone linked to Win 10. For whatever reason, if I want to send a message I have to manually type in the phone number. I can then send out a message but it keeps on saying "Sending" in YP even though it has shown up on my phone. For pictures, I can't retrieve pictures from my phone to YP. And no notifications as well. Interesting that the Phone Screen feature does work. In mms.png, I can't seem to find the setting on my Android phone. See attachments. Thoughts? Ed

Show windows contents while dragging does not work
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I have Windows 10 Pro - version 2004. build: 19041.508. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. In the system "performance options" device control panel applet, I check the option: "Show windows contents while dragging". The screen flashes, nothing happens, the feature does NOT become enabled. If I close and re-open the control panel applet, it shows the feature unchecked again. Can anyone please help me determine where to look to see what might be going on here?
