One year ago, I said this:
“If you’re having trouble with files/folders not appearing until you refresh the folder view with a tap on F5, then you’ve been hit by the dreaded Explorer Doesn’t Refresh Automatically bug
Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to fix.
Behold: Three ways to fix the glitch!”
Still not working??
Using Microsoft software can be quite an adventure. It’s especially fun when your previously activated copy of Windows or Office decides to de-activate itself!
Sometimes, the usual official routes of re-activation are useful. Other times, not so much…
Isn’t there a way to re-activate your legal copy of Windows EASILY?!
Why, yes, there is!
In my earlier video, Global IT Outage: What it means for you, I discussed the outage caused by CrowdStrike’s wonky update.
Since the publication of that video, I’ve read a fair load of nonsense.
It’s Microsoft’s fault! It’s the European Union’s fault! It’s the fault of everyone else except CrowdStrike.
Well, no.
Connecting a mic to your PC is pretty essential for good quality sound.
So what do you do when your mic level is suddenly too low?
After going through the usual fixes for mix problems – just in case – I explain what’s probably going on with your mic and how to fix it quickly and cheaply!
This is the LAST video you need to watch to fix low mic volume!
You’ve tried everything: Task Manager, Startup Apps in Settings, even uninstalling some applications…
Nevertheless, that pesky app is still firing up every time you restart your Windows puter.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an EASY way to see all your startup apps and disable them in a few clicks?
There is! And it’s made by none other than Microsoft…
If your Windows PC is stuck doing updates, you’ve got the Blue Update Screen of Death. Even rebooting doesn’t help. What to do? Easy! Fix it like a PRO.
These days, updating Windows is like playing Russian Roulette. Microsoft keeps breaking things, and we have to figure out how to fix them, over and over. When you’ve finally had enough and nothing is working for you, try THIS! Not to worry: Microsoft will break it again soon, I’m sure!
Let’s say you have a folder with a ton of files, but they all have super-long file names.
For example, a folder with a bunch of video files like this:
ENG SUB【Story of Yanxi Palace 延禧攻略】EP50 Starring Wu Jinyan, Qin Lan, Nie Yuan, Charmaine Sheh.mp4
Wow, that is a CRAZY-long filename. What’s worse, it has Chinese and other weird characters in it. Those might screw up your streaming media player, for example.
Well, okay: How to bulk rename a bunch of files at once?
Windows is giving you trouble? Stuff is crashing?
Normally, you’d just pull out your hair and start screaming.
But what if you could see exactly WHY it’s crapping out on you?
Actually, you can! And it’s easier than you think…
Join me for a look at Windows logging and how you can become a Pro Techie and amaze your friends!
Windows 12 has been in the news lately.
Specifically, rumors are swirling that not only will there be a Windows 12, but it will be “AI-powered”.
Of course, this requires support preferably from Intel’s next 14th-gen processors as well as from AMD’s equivalent offerings.
That means Windows 12 will probably have even tighter hardware requirements than Windows 11, sadly…
But hang on, does anyone even use Windows anymore?!
