What is the best image converter software for Windows 11/10?
Honestly, the web is a big mess now as the websites use many unknown image formats like .avif or webp. The default photos app does not support image conversions for these less popular format. And I need to share or edit the images sometimes. Is there any powerful image converter software for Windows that supports the most of image formats used on the web, including png, jpg, gif, psd, avif or webp? If there is, pls kindly share the name here so I can test on my PC. Thank you
Windows Search not Work in Microsoft Windows [10.0.26120.3964]
After the latest Windows Insiders update to Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26120.3964) the Windows Search Service stopped. And even after resetting it and creating a new index in a new location different from the original, the feature stops indexing all files correctly. Therefore, the search finds some files, but not others.
How Can I Open a Winzip file on Windows 10 and Mac?
I'm having trouble opening a .zip file (WinZip archive) in Windows 10 and my Mac. When I double-click it, nothing happens, or I get an error. I've tried a few things, but it's still not working. Here's what I've tried so far: Right-clicking and selecting "Extract All" (but sometimes the option doesn’t appear). Using File Explorer to open it (but it says the file is corrupted or unsupported). What's the easiest way to open a winZip file in Windows 10 or Mac without WinZip? I prefer not using the winzip app as it installs several adware on my PC and it dramatically slow down my computer!File modified date missing
I use xnview to change exif file dates, I have a folder with a hundred or so jpgs, 20 of these don't have a file modified date, it's empty in file explorer and also in file properties. If I use xnview to change the dates manually they all change perfectly, but if I choose change the two file dates to the same as the exif date ( any exif date) it changes the 2 file dates ( Inc file modified) to 31/12/1969, this date appears nowhere in the file dates, so is a mystery But in all instances windows file explorer shows file date modified as empty, and also in file properties. As a side note I thought I could change file dates in properties by right clicking and changing, but this is not possible, on any of my JPGs. Really confused, as only 20 jpgs has this issue, the other files seem to be fine. I've created copies of these files and they behave the same.Recovering from a system-wide icacls reset
Hey guys. So I was trying to fix permissions on a drive for a buddy of mine by running icacls commands on it while it's in an external enclosure. I entered icacls * /reset /T while in a Powershell prompt for the E: drive...and that's when I found out that icacls doesn't respect where you are currently navigated to in the command line. So in short, I just ****ed my whole computer. Both user profiles I sign into (one personal and one for work) now redirect to temporary profiles. Is there any way to recover from this or am I gonna have to bite the bullet and just reformat? It's not hugely problematic because all my personal files are on a NAS but it's still going to be a LOT of work. - - - Updated - - - So I appear to have fixed it by changing permissions on both user folders. On the root folder for each user I selected Properties > Security > Advanced, then I added the correct user with full permissions (left the owner as the "Administrators" group), disabled inheritance, then replaced all child object permissions. I also removed "Everyone" from read + execute. Everything seems to be functioning properly but I may run into problems going forward, we'll see. There were a couple "access denied" files in the user folders, I assume they were some kind of weird dynamic caching files or whatever.What is the best free image resizer for Windows 11/10?
Hi all! Have hundreds of photos on my iPhone and need to bulk resize the images for saving more space on my Windows PC, resize image to less than 100 kb. Is any any reliable free image resizer for doing this on Windows 11/10. I need it for basic tasks like resizing photos for social media, websites, and personal projects. Ideally, it should: Support batch resizing (processing multiple images at once). Allow custom dimensions (pixels, percentages) without losing quality. Be user-friendly and lightweight. Have no watermarks, ads, or hidden paywalls. Bonus points if it includes extra features like image conversion or cropping! Thanks a lot!
