    Dell Inspiron 15R upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10, BSODs with AUTO_BOOST_LOCK_ACQUISITION error

    I have a Dell 15R (N5110), it is the laptop that originally listed as "Good for Windows 10".

After the install, the web...

    Dell Inspiron 15R upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10, BSODs with AUTO_BOOST_LOCK_ACQUISITION error

    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...

    Windows 10 Resetting Defaults

    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.

    Windows 10 Resetting Defaults

    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...

    Windows 10 Resetting Defaults

    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...

    Windows 10 Resetting Defaults

    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...

    Windows 10 Resetting Defaults

    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...

    Internet Explorer Search Error

    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.
