How to enable dark mode in the Notepad application on Windows 10?
I want to switch the interface theme of the Notepad application that comes with the Windows 10 system to dark mode, but I don't know the specific settings entry or how to do it. Clear step-by-step instructions are needed.KodyonFeb 25, 2026Iron Contributor198Views0likes3CommentsRunning System reset cmd on secondary Windows OS hard drive
This may be an odd question, but here goes. I have a desktop with Win 10 and sporadically it likes to forget its hard drive, then throws out the options to reboot or run system diagnostics. Well the first few times system diag didn't find an issue and rebooted, then it booted into Windows. Now it just entirely says screw it and throws an error during diagnostics. Pulled the, drive docked it to my main PC, and was able to access the contents of the drive. Ran the typical error checking, check disk and did some clean up of old junk on it. Still won't boot. Now my idea was to factory reset the drive (e:) without having to perform a format an reinstall job. I know there is a command "systemreset" that can be ran from cmd, the kicker is can it be done on a secondary device such as a a docked hard drive or does the command only work for the local c: drive? Again I'm trying to avoid wiping the OS off, just want to factory reset.Brandon_R1980Feb 25, 2026Copper Contributor783Views0likes2CommentsPhotos app opens images sometimes without all of the file info, and displays this error message.
I thought this was interesting. This doesn't regularly occur but seems to be some sort of error or failsafe. I used a .bat file to open some images, which I've done about 100 times without any error message. This last time it displayed this error message and failed to populate all of the file info. I captured the screenshots, and you can see in the last screenshot that when I view the file in the File Explorer directly the file contains the missing info. The system opened the image, displayed the error message but still allowed me to interact with the image, only not populating all of the file info.Michael82353Feb 25, 2026Copper Contributor47Views0likes2CommentsSudden crashes and BSOD in Win10
Hello! I have an Asus Vivobook 15, that came with Keep-OS and I installed Windows 11 using the official website and step by step. Last week it started crashing and having BSOD's, getting stuck on boot and sometimes not even recognizing the OS (win11). It started after a Win Update. Since I haven't found a solution and Asus does not care for the consumer, had no alternative and downgraded to Win 10. I'm still facing some crashes and BSOD. I checked the SDD, manually and with Crystal Disk Info (98% health), checked the fan... I really don't know what else to do. https://1drv.ms/u/c/7f13816d644baeb5/IQCrQrt8VfRkRZAOG5BT6By0ASV3wLkzdMiLZ-ctbrSsW84?e=PTUVlN Here is the System Events Log.GabsBtFeb 25, 2026Copper Contributor61Views0likes3CommentsWindows 10 Computer starts looping on BIOS

Hi everyone, There are several Word (.docx) and PDF documents in Dutch that need to be translated into English. The files are a mix of text-heavy reports and some PDFs with complex formatting. Manual copy and paste into online translators is not practical because the documents are long and formatting gets lost. What is the best way to translate dutch to english for word and pdf document while keeping the original layout as much as possible? Is there reliable free software for Windows or Mac that can handle batch translation?ManstawayFeb 25, 2026Copper Contributor66Views0likes9CommentsWIFI network takes a very long time to establish on my ASUS laptop
On my ASUS Vivobook X509ja, the wifi network takes a long time to establish when logging in, waking up from sleep (looking at the small symbol at the bottom right of the screen). It's over 30s and can be up to 2 minutes! The PC (equipped with an SSD, an Intel Core I5 and 8 GB of RAM) was delivered pre-installed with W10 and at that time the establishment of the network was almost instantaneous. Then there was the forced passage to W11 23H2 (ed family) Finally, "heavy" software "had" to be installed there. I have two independent WiFi networks: one native to the box and the other generated by a Netgear router; the behavior is the same on either network. I would like to know the cause of this problem which is very painful to use or a procedure to find it... Or a bypass or parade...Giovanni2230Feb 25, 2026Copper Contributor8Views0likes0CommentsSearch freeware to download videos Music
Hello I'm going to have a 9 hour plane ride and I would like to download my favorite Youtube videos to my smartphone to see them in airplane mode. What freeware or website do you recommend? Most conversion sites have limitations on video size, so I couldn't find it.GracianonFeb 25, 2026Copper Contributor8Views0likes0CommentsRoaming Profile ghost share
This was an old share sued for roaming profile testing. It was deleted but some accounts still redirect their folders to this share. It's not in shares in server manager. The profile paths are pointing to a different location, and I can't find a way to delete this share. How can I permanently delete this share. I deleted it in the past but it's still showing up. Or is there a way to prevent this error from occurring?Fduran1997Feb 25, 2026Copper Contributor583Views0likes2CommentsWindows 10 ESU – Registrierungsbutton erscheint nicht trotz 22H2 (Rollout-Basis)
Hallo zusammen, ich möchte mein Windows 10 Pro-System für die Extended Security Updates (ESU) registrieren. Alle Voraussetzungen sind erfüllt (Version 22H2, Build 19045.6396, aktuelle Updates installiert, Microsoft-Konto aktiv). Trotzdem erscheint in Windows Update keine Schaltfläche „Jetzt registrieren“. Der Microsoft-Support hat mir heute bestätigt, dass der ESU-Rollout phasenweise fortgesetzt wird, auch nach dem 14. Oktober, nur Geräte unter 22H2 vom Supportende betroffen sind, und dass mein System automatisch berücksichtigt wird. Da ich mein Gerät gern rechtzeitig registrieren möchte, um Sicherheitsupdates nahtlos zu erhalten, meine Frage an das Entwicklerteam: Gibt es einen bekannten Zeitrahmen für den weiteren Rollout der ESU-Registrierung an 22H2-Geräte, oder spezifische Regionen- bzw. Kontoabhängigkeiten? Vielen Dank und viele Grüße Matthias103Views0likes3Comments
