Hello Everyone. Please Refer Below and help me :SolvedcreativepuruNov 08, 2024Copper Contributor1.4KViews0likes22CommentsWhy wont Windows update Work.
I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface 7 Laptop Model 2036 Snapdragon(R) X 10-core X1P64100. It comes with Co-pilot, smart this and that, yet it cannot update windows kb 5044384. I have tried everything but the message is - Why in 2024 have Microsoft not sorted out the basic operating system problems. Yes, the move to snapdragon/QUALCOMM is the best development ever, but its spoiled by basic software problems. This is not smart in any way. Microsoft, please advise. Dr Bob.

Documents folder is suddenly empty after a black screen of death. I forced shutdown by pressing the power button on the back of my PC. When I logged back in it seems that my entire documents folder was empty. What's more is it said that the new path for the documents folder was users > [MY USERNAME] > downloads > documents. Documents folder disappeared from my quick access and when I attempted to restore to defaults through properties it said this file location did not exist. Properties indicate there are files and folders there but otherwise completely empty. Is this common and can I recover them it? Thank you.Jonat2Nov 08, 2024Occasional Reader6Views0likes0CommentsNew Keyboard Layouts appear suddenly

I was trying to export large video files that could not be emailed to myself (which is what i was previously doing.) from an iPad to an Android phone that has no access to the internet, but when i try to copy paste the file, the laptop refuses to move any file to the phone. This has nothing to do with the fact that i am trying to move files from an Apple device to an Android one, as i am not trying to transfer the files wirelessly and it accesses the files on both devices perfectly fine (with the exception of the video files from the iPad taking ages to/not playing on the media player). And it's not a storage problem either, as i cleared some files off of the phone to make room for the videos. I did some digging and found some advice on this hub saying to allow the file to run as administrator through the properties tab when you right click on your file and it will allow the file to copy-paste to your selected device. But my compatibility tab is nowhere to be found after i click the properties tab (as seen in the screenshot.). Everything that i find that tells me how to fix this issue says i need to go to the compatibility tab in properties and run compatibility troubleshooting, which, as you can see, i cannot do. I am getting really confused and would love some friendly advice.celeighneNov 08, 2024Occasional Reader338Views0likes10CommentsAfter the recent update, the items in the explorer navigation pane became quite spread out
Below is the screenshot. Is there any way to fix this?SimkfyNov 08, 2024Copper Contributor5.9KViews0likes22CommentsThe best YouTube to MP3 converter for Windows 11 PC?
Hello everyone, There seem to be tons of options out there, but it’s hard to know which ones are actually safe and effective. Ideally, I’d like something that provides high-quality audio output and doesn’t take too long to process each video. Avoiding any tools that come with hidden malware, intrusive ads, or bloatware is also a priority. Currently, I’m looking for a reliable YouTube to MP3 converter that works smoothly on Windows 11. Another feature I’d find really useful is batch conversion. I often want to download multiple youtube videos to mp3 in one go, so a tool that allows me to do this without converting each video individually would save me a lot of time. A simple, intuitive interface would also be a huge plus, as I’m not looking for anything overly complicated. Thanks so much for your help and suggestions!Banahan1Nov 08, 2024Copper Contributor39Views0likes6Comments
