Windows 10 - Can you choose folder columns specific to folders?
This is one that's been eluding me, or maybe it's not possible. There should definitely be an ability to have the column headers (and therefore the columns) shown specific to either the folder or the folder type. There are generally, in my experience, literally scores of available columns that can be displayed and you can rearrange them, i.e. the order shown left to right. However, usually all you see are Name, Date Modified, Type, Size. Some folders contain files that beg for a much more varied and interesting set of columns. For instance, music files I want to see length. Length has no meaning for most files. I keep encountering this. To find Length in the list of available columns when there are like 100 available is a hassle and I don't want to keep having to add it. Plus there are a ton of other attributes I might want shown. What am I missing?Windows 10 failing to check for updates. any way to update manually?

Changing word and page count on Windows 10
Hi, I have googled this question but didn't find a clear answer Does it really matter if word/page counts change in a large word document? I have been using editor on a document a couple of hundred pages long. The word count has been giving me an idea of how much I have removed from the document as I work. I didnt close down the document, and this morning when I came back to it, instead of roughly 102800 words and 210 pages, it showed around 104000 words and 212 pages which is where I started at. I saved a copy, shut down and reopened the document and it still showed the same counts. I scanned the document for changes I had made and they appear to be all there, however now editor is indicating more changes required to areas it previously didnt (editor corrections and refinements are completely different) Is this indicating just a delayed updating problem with the document, because I didn't shut it down for an extended period, or is it something more serious?Windows 10 system experiences intermittent lag and black screens lasting several seconds.
Occasional brief freezes occur during computer use (mouse freezing, desktop going black for several seconds before automatically recovering), suspected to be caused by silent updates or conflicts from background software.Prevent Your Computer from Automatically Locking
Here is an alternate method to prevent your computer from locking. Code: function KeepScreenAwake { param($minutes = 9999) Write-Host "The screen will remain active for $minutes minutes." $wshell = New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell for ($i = 0; $i -lt $minutes; $i++) { Write-Host "The screen will be active for another $($minutes - $i) minutes."

Best free image enhancer AI tool for improving image quality?
Not a tech savvy for image editing. The problem is that I have hundreds of photos are in low quality. Some of them are even blurred when pulling off from my old backup drive. I heard the AI image enhancer could be a great fit nowadays. Is this true? I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable free AI image enhancing tool. What solutions have you found effective for sharpening blurry pictures or increasing the size of an image without losing quality? I'm particularly interested in tools that are user-friendly and deliver consistent, high-quality results. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.How to uninstall PAE Patch for XP?
I tried installing the "WinXP-PAE-Patch" and while it appeared to work, it causes my machine to BSOD with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" after opening a few programs. I have run Memtest6+ and it passed 2 passes with 0 errors, plus Windows 10 ran fine, albeit slowly, on this machine. The problem I have is, without the PAE patch, Windows XP is only able to use 2.5GB of the 4GB RAM. Whereas the PAE Patch let me use all 3.75GB (as I have allocated to the X1200 in the BIOS). Is there a way of uninstalling this patch? There is no documentation for this and I can't find the supposed backup. I did try another PAE patch before this, and that kept causing a black screen instead of a BSOD. Thanks!I am looking for update files for the Korean version of Microsoft Windows 95/NT4
Windows Update Restored does not have update files for the Korean version of Win95 and NT4, and even Internet Archive only preserves some languages, including the English version. I was wondering if anyone has an update file for the Korean version of Win95/NT4.Windows NT 4.0 Unattended from CD?
With Windows 2000/XP, if I want to run an unattended installation directly from CD/ISO, all I need is to add the WINNT.SIF to the i386 folder. If I do this with Windows NT 4.0, it just crashes with BSOD 0x1E "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED", Address blah blah blah setupdd.sys, after the text mode welcome screen, right before trying to setup the partition. The only workaround I found so far is adding a Windows 95 boot floppy as a boot sector (like in Windows 98/Me CDs) which in turn sets up a FAT16 partition with GDisk, then after a reboot, copies the answer file to C: and runs WINNT.EXE /B /U:C:\UNATTEND.TXT /S:%CDROM%\i386. I would prefer to use the text mode setup to prepare the partition since it's cleaner and just better than using a clumsy batch file and external commands. Can this not be done, or am I messing something up?
