    Windows 10 USB SD card adapters stop being recognised

    All the cards and adapters worked in my PC to start with, and they all still work in my audio systems. It's clearly not a problem with the SD cards not being recognised by Windows as I still have one adapter that works fine with every SD card in the PC. I'm quite baffled by this. Surely these...

    Windows 10 USB SD card adapters stop being recognised

    Strange problem: I use micro SD cards to store music files I play through home audio systems. My PC has no SD card port so I use various USB adapters. These adapters - not the cards - are gradually stopping working in the PC although they all still work fine in the audio systems. I have one...

    Windows 10 File Explorer: Removing my unwanted Quick Access Music folders

    For some reason, the Quick Access list of folders in File Explorer recently included an elastic list of folders from my Music library. If I remove one, it adds the next one in the alphabet. How do I remove all these Music folders from Explorer?

    Windows 10 Internal audio sounds odd

    My Dell Optiplex 3020 running Windows 10 has two audio drivers (I make music on it) - a Realtek HD Audio and a Yamaha driver for my Steinberg audio interface. I've had no problems until a few days ago when I noticed that the internal PC audio output sounded odd - boxy, with the low end missing...

    Windows 10 Deleting Windows.old - gaining permission

    I had to downgrade to Win 10. Unexpectedly, there was a massive Windows.Old directory created, and it's proving difficult to delete all of it. Although this is my own home PC and I'm the sole user, when I try to delete certain directories or files, I get Access Denied - you need to provide...

    EaseUS backup error mystery...

    If I set EaseUS Todo Backup to use no compression when backing up, would that likely help avoid running out of space?

    EaseUS backup error mystery...

    I have a Dell Optiplex 3020 PC with a 1TB SSD. I bought a Toshiba 1TB external HDD to back up my files and apps. I've never used a backup system before. I set up EaseUS Todo Backup Free to perform a backup of my files which total around 600GB. I noticed in File Explorer that my internal SSD...

    Windows 11 Renaming a Windows Media Device

    ChatGPT seems pretty useless. As I stated in my question, the dialog box contains no means to change the name:

    Windows 11 Renaming a Windows Media Device

    I would like to rename a network media device. I'm not quite sure what this is when I see it in File Explorer but here it is under Networks. How do I change the name from Simone's Media to something else? Clicking on it does not provide a means to do so.

    Windows 11 Problems Signing into Nearby Sharing

    This does not help either. The Services app does not have Nearby Sharing.

    Windows 11 Problems Signing into Nearby Sharing

    This is unhelpful. My Settings>System has no Shared Experiences, only the Nearby Sharing section and that has no option for Change default account settings.

    Windows 11 Problems Signing into Nearby Sharing

    I'm trying to use Nearby Sharing for the first time with my Android phone. Although I'm signed into my Windows account as an administrator, the Nearby Sharing page demands that I sign into an old work account that I've not had access to in years. How do I change that to be my Windows account?

    There is a Media folder in my Windows 11 PC which I need to rename. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it, but surely there must be. Can anyone suggest a method? No reply needed, solved.
