Issue with "Edit with Paint 3D" Functionality
I have recently encountered an issue with Paint 3D. When I try to edit a picture using Paint 3D by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Edit with Paint 3D," I am unexpectedly prompted to choose an app to open the file instead of Paint 3D launching directly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have any insights on why this might be happening and how to resolve it? Thank you for your assistance!

Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while.
I have WDS and MDT configured to deploy windows 10 to Lenovo ThinkPad 15 Gen2 along with network driver and all the things needed. Due to a minor misconfiguration right network drivers were not being injected. But when we are doing the same windows 10 installation through Bootable USB, we won't be including any drivers in that, but that still works. What I don't understand is the whole WDS deployment happens on the private network which doesn't need internet which I am being mandated for the process after MDT GUI has done its work the laptop restarts and saying "Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while." as the landing page and getting stuck there for hours not letting me go any further. Please help me understand the part where it says it is trying to connect to Microsoft and getting stuck meaning it is trying to connect to internet when there is no need for that.
How to update Windows 10 to 22H2 when your device is dual booted
I am trying to update a computer from Windows 10 (version 1709) to Windows 10 (version 22H2) but once the update is completed the computer restarts and it stays on the version 1709. I want to also mention that the computer is dual booted with Ubuntu. Has anyone come across this issue? How would I update the Windows OS without affecting the Ubuntu OS?
Windows 10 Phone Reset Protection
I have tried resetting my Alcatel Idol 4S for my youngest son to use, but upon reset I get an error to turn off reset protection, I try logging into my account and it still does nothing, and the bitlocker says there is no recovery key to be found. I am stuck in the setup steps with no way of providing a recovery key, is there any way around this? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!NO idea what the source of my issue is & I need someone to review all of this info & let me know
No one seems to know what the source of my issue is, and I'm completely irritated by EVERYONE because NO ONE understands me. I have issues that are branching out to other aspects and I don't know what the root cause is, or where to start because all of the Microsoft agents are saying something different. Outline: When trying to "Create a system image" I'm getting the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have found 2 temporary solutions: Solution 1: Delete the "reparse point" (see attached file labeled "Delete Reparse Point" for full details) 1. Open the Command Prompt (cmd) 2. Type: DIR /AL /S 3. Locate the "reparse point" (reparse folder) in the directory NOTE:The reparse point = <JUNCTION> = Content.IE5 = IE (folder(s)) 4. Delete the “reparse point” 5. Take Ownership of the "Windows folder" 6. “Deny” the SYSTEM “Full Control”of the "Windows folder" NOTE:Alternatively "Remove" the "SYSTEM" from the list of "users". This will prevent the"SYSTEM"from automatically recreating the "reparse point" 7.RESTART DEVICE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solution 2: Uninstall Windows Updates (see attached file labeled "Uninstall Windows Updates" 1. Open the "Control Panel" 2. Click"Programs" 3. Click"View installed updates" 4. Click on the most recent"Windows Update" 5. Click"Uninstall" 6. Click"Yes" 7. Click"Restart Now" By following one of the above solutions will resolve the error code: 0x80070001 temporarily. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According the level 2 Microsoft Windows Tech Support agent the reason that I'm having this issue is because I'm "ENROLLED" in the "Windows Insider Program".Since my device says that I'm enrolled in the Windows Insider Program, when I click the "Check for Updates"in my Windows settings >Updates & Security, Windows"Pre-released Updates"are being installed on my OS. Thus, the pre-released updates are possibly not compatible or interferring with Windows detecing my external drive when I attempt to create a system image resulting with the error code: 0x80070001. So my creating a system image issue is branching into my enrollment in the Windows Insider Program. However, its get more complicated from here. • I have ONLY setup my laptop using my microsoft account when I purchased my device • I DID NOT "ENROLL" in the "Windows Insider Program" •My device's"Motherboard" &"SSD DRIVE" have been replaced 4 times • After my hardware was replaced I ONLY setup my device using a"LOCAL ACCOUNT" • I DID NOT "ENROLL" in the"Windows Insider Program" **YET FOR SOME REASON I'M ENROLLED IN THE WINDOWS INSIDER PROGRAM Either way I tried to leave the Windows Insider Program by login into my microsoft account online and it says that my email address is not registered as a Windows Insider. (Leave the Windows Insider Program) So to recap: • Since my device is"ENROLLED" in the"Windows Insider Program", pre-released Windows Updates are being installed on my OS • The pre-released Windows Updates are causing me to receive the error code: 0x80070001 when I attempt to create a system image • I NEVER"ENROLLED"in the"Windows Insider Program" when I setup my device with my microsoft account • My device's"Motherboard"&"SSD DRIVE"have been replaced 4 times • When my hardware was replace I ONLY setup my device using aLOCAL ACCOUNT • INEVER"ENROLLED"in the "Windows Insider Program" after my hardware was replaced • According to theLeave the Windows Insider Programwebsite my email isNOT REGISTERED as a"Windows Insider" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I need to know: 1) What do I have to do so that IDON'Treceive the error code: 0x80070001 when attempting to create a system image? 2) If the reason for the error code: 0x80070001 is due to the pre-released Windows Updates by my device being enrolled in the Windows Insider Program, how do I "Leave Windows Insider" if my email isNOTENROLLED as a Windows Insider?Please suggest me solution for data recovery as I've completely lost my data from hard disk
I've used windows 10 bootable pendrive to boot in c drive in my dell laptop. I've formatted the C drive after that when I've install windows it was not able to install in C drive, finds some solution from internet that when I convert MBR file to GPT file windows will install. So l have used command prompt to convert c drive. But it was denied and so I have used clear option in command prompt. Due to this my d and e drive accidentally clear. I've lost all data for d and e drive which I've stored almost 10 years. After that I want to recover my data therefore I've given my laptop to expert who have installed windows 10 in C drive. After that they recovered data by using some recovery tools. By the recovery tool they provide data in separate folder as jpg file, mp4 file, doc file etc. but the file name was changed and I've not got recovered data as my folder and file name structure which was as before installing windows. When they installed windows on my system only C drive is there after that they allocated one more drive i.e. D drive. Before installing windows I've 3 drive in my system i.e. c,d and e. After formatting and reinstalled windows it shows 2 drive i.e. c and d. I have also used data recovery tools with help of YouTube video. After scanning full drive by recovery tool, it shows one drive with same folder name structure. But still one drive was missing. I am sharing image which I have taken after data recovery tools. Now my question is that after these happened to my system can I recover my full data from system which I've lost with same folder ne structure. Please suggest me the solution for data recovery It will help me like life saving.
