I just noticed that nearly all of my Windows updates have been failing since 4/17/2022: Just a few exceptions succeeded: Upgrading to Windows 10 (or 11) isn't at all an option now, so I would truly appreciate help getting the updates for 8.1 working. What can I do to get all those updates...

I have a filepath in each row. I've broken up the path using the backslash as the delimiter. So the columns look like this: C My Data Bob's Stuff Monday green.lnk C My Data Bob's Stuff Monday Monday.lnk C My Data Bob's Stuff Tuesday Tuesday.lnk C...

I had a "shortcut virus" which I believe I successfully removed. It placed shortcuts called "Downloads" and "Games" in folders all over my system. I was able to delete those using Windows search. There is one issue that isn't "dangerous", just annoying. There are these shortcuts all over the...

I installed Avira Free on a new Windows 8.1 computer and began receiving the ‘Your computer is not secure! A Service is not working correctly’ and also see the ‘Fix problem‘ button. I tried following directions I found online to update manually using Fusebundle Generator from Avira's site. But...

I need to copy the values of several standard textboxes to the clipboard - so that can they can be pasted into an Outlook email. Obviously, the text in the textboxes will not be formatted at all. What I'd like to do is make some of it bold, some underlined, etc. - so it will be nicely...

I'd like to schedule a task to play an audio file. From the command line, this works successfully to play the file: "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /play /close "C:\ALL DATA\Shimmy\Shimmy's Documents\Morning audio reminders for kids\8-00 AM reminder.WMA" (Although it...

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered a million times, but I've been Googling and can't come up with an answer that works for me... I've got a bunch of UI controls wired up to a BindingSource. I've got the databinding set up to update the objects on PropertyChanged. I need to now...

I have a DataGridView with a button that I created that adds a new row to the DataGridView - that works fine. The problem is that when the user clicks that button, the entire cell is selected. In order to allow typing into that cell, the user has to first click in the cell. I'm told this is...

I've set the permissions on my internal hard drive so my kids can't mess anything up. :-) I tried doing the same thing on an external USB hard drive, but it seems like my addition of their user accounts to the Security tab of that drive was lost somehow: I don't see their account names...
