I recently uninstalled Visual Studio from my computer (don't know if it is relevant). I am running Delphi XE on Windows 10 Pro x64. When I click on Delphi XE icon, the program tries to start, briefly displays splash screen and then pops up dialog box "Error" and message "Item not found". I...

>>restored my image backup of Windows 7 >Waited longer than 30 days, eh, so couldn't use the built-in reversion feature? When I tried to use Microsoft's reversion program, it reported an error saying it couldn't find the files to revert to previous version. Microsoft Knowledgebase recommended...

I have a Dell 15R (N5110), it is the laptop that originally listed as "Good for Windows 10". I did an image backup of the hard disk and then verified I had the most current BIOS and the most current device drivers installed. Then I let the Windows 10 upgrade install. After the install, the web...

You could try asking on the Dell website forums. They have suggested 'work arounds' for me in the past... Mel

That was a month ago, I didn't keep the link. I know I found it while searching the Microsoft website. Here is the Dell.com link-- http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN297954#Inspiron-NB

I have 2 Dell Inspiron 15 laptops. After upgrading one to Windows 10 just to see what Windows 10 was all about I had nothing but problems. At the time (2 months ago) all the information I could find indicated that Windows 10 wouldn't run on the Dell because of incompatible drivers and according...

I have seen GWX Control and all my other computers had Automatic Updates turned off except this one I seem to have missed. I had two computers that automatically upgraded to Windows 10. One I reinstalled Windows 7 back on but learned a lesson or two about "Lifetime Licenses" as far as software...

So far, Micro$oft has "Accidently" installed the Windows 10 upgrade on my computer, "Accidently" excluded a critical update log file so I can't rollback the installation and makes it extremely difficult to set defaults to anything other than Micro$oft products and then they brag on how good...

I already tried setting up a different user account, still had the problem. Corel support says they are aware of the situation and are working with Micro$oft to correct. And as usual, no response from Foxit. Well, they say to use their User Forum but I have been Banned for Life by the Forum...

I have tried from the settings-system-default apps, from the settings-system default apps by type, from the programs themselves but after 1-2 days Windows 10 says it encountered a problem and HAD to reset the defaults. About 50% of the time the settings-system-default apps don't list any option...

Does anyone know of a way to prevent the Micro$oft Virus (aka. Windows 10) from resetting the defaults. I usually have Foxit Phantom set as default PDF and Corel Paintshop set for graphics. However, every day or so Windows claims to have a problem and resets them. I have to reboot the PC before...

The problem is on my desktop, my notebook works fine. I looked at the security settings on both and didn't see anything obvious. After reading everything I could find on the Microsoft website, my next options seem to be uninstalling and then installing IE or changing to a different browser.

Windows 7 Pro x64 with Internet Explorer 11. I Tried a couple of 3rd party programs based on previous suggestions. Then I tried Internet Explorer-->Safety-->Delete browsing history... (All options checked). I also tried Internet Explorer-->Internet Options-->Advanced-->Reset Internet Explorer...
