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.

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!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.
User's home folder mapping and black wallpaper issues
Hi. I need some help. I work in a school and we have an issue with the student's (win10) PCs . They log in with autologin, but the users home folder doesn't mapping ... although with the 2nd restart it appears. I found this solution, but nothing changed. https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8eb33fdb-5689-4691-abe6-90f9cd4499a6/how-to-allow-a-computer-time-to-get-a-network-connection-before-running-a-startup-script-without?forum=winserverGP&fbclid=IwAR0Mz_0UgK-f9cDBU1NHoEf5yJXj__onHxcGw0fixD3OTT7Wlv4wZBng24Q and we have another problem. the wallpaper only applyes in the 2nd logon just like the home folder. We have a GPO for that. The first logon the user see a black background. I've created a GPO to delete the cached blank wallpaper. C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\..... It works, but when the PC-s down for a day the blank wallpapers reappear.
Cant fully remove user profile Win10 Enterprise V2004
Hello everyone For years I have been able to recreate user profiles by rebooting the machine and then going to control panel and opening up the list of user profiles and deleting it. I would then confirm no trace of profile in registry here:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Now when I attempt this, things like recycle bin is still full and some onedrive files are left behind. We suspect the 2004 update may have altered how to recreate profiles. Does anyone know how to solve this? I have tried on 2 different machines with 2 different users with no luck. Thanks in advance.
