I have been trying to make a bootable USB drive with a lot of diagnostic tools on it - MEDICAT - and when I try to install the software onto the drive I get a lot of messages ie not enough memory etc etc. I tried again to make the disk usable with DISKPART and in list disk there is small asterix against the disk number and am not sure of what that means. So can anyone explain just what that small asterix mean? I have already done everything to make this disk usable but with no luck it just doesn't show up in Windows explorer or is listed on the This PC so I am stuck now and don't know of what to do nest.DeclanGrayJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor21Views0likes2CommentsHow to Wake from sleep function on Windows 10
I am experiencing issues with the wake from sleep function on my Windows 10 computer. Despite putting my system into sleep mode, it does not wake up properly or takes an unusually long time to resume, and sometimes it remains unresponsive, requiring a forced restart. I have checked the power settings and updated my drivers, but the problem persists, affecting my workflow and productivity. I am looking for solutions or troubleshooting steps to ensure my PC wakes up smoothly from sleep mode without delays or crashes. Any guidance on how to fix this issue or settings to adjust would be greatly appreciated, as I want my computer to wake up reliably and restore my previous session without hassle.HouellebecqJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor20Views0likes1CommentHow do I stop "?source=printscreen" from appearing in Recent Items folder?

Frequent accidental presses of keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Win+Ctrl+Left/Right) trigger virtual desktops during gameplay, causing forced screen switching.

Hey guys, I'm trying to clear out my browsing history on my Windows 10 machine but I'm a bit lost in the settings. I noticed things are getting a little cluttered and I just want to do a fresh sweep of my recent activity and cache. I usually switch between Edge and Chrome, so if there's a universal shortcut or a simple way to clear or delete browsing history for both, let me know. I am not super tech-savvy, so the easier the instructions, the better! Any tips or shortcuts you guys recommend? Appreciate the assist!ThomasWhiteJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor23Views0likes7CommentsIntel Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz cannot start (Error code 10)

Hello everyone, when using Microsoft Edge to download files on Windows 10, the progress bar consistently freezes just before completion. However, switching to other browsers like Chrome allows downloads to complete normally. I'm seeking Edge-specific troubleshooting and repair methods.SweetufferableJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor29Views0likes1CommentWindows 10 mouse clicks are unresponsive.
While running the virtual machine environment, excessive memory usage was suspected due to having too many windows open. After dragging a specific window caused the software to close unexpectedly, the mouse became unresponsive to clicks. Although the mouse could be moved and hovering triggered visual feedback (e.g., buttons changing color), both left and right mouse buttons were completely unresponsive. The system was not completely frozen (keyboard operations and Task Manager remained functional, with memory usage at approximately 60%). Seeking a method to restore mouse click functionality without restarting the virtual machine.MardainJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor18Views0likes1CommentWindows 10 accidentally disabled all startup items, causing the system to fail to boot.
After accidentally disabling all startup items (including system services) under the “General” tab in msconfig, the computer failed to boot normally (PIN login became invalid). Upon entering the troubleshooting command prompt via Shift+Restart, attempting to run msconfig resulted in insufficient permissions. Seeking the secure operation path to restore startup items.ManzanitaerHeroJan 09, 2026Iron Contributor17Views0likes1Comment
