“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

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!
Windows 11 is okay – except when it comes time to do a big update or install it from scratch.
In both cases, MS has decided to force you to log in to Windows using your Microsoft account.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could skip this step?
Fortunately, you can!
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…

Now this is a fun one!
You get a new puter, fire it up, and you find the Windows Library icons on the desktop: Home, Documents, Music, Videos, etc.
The trouble starts when you try to delete them: you can’t!
They’re invincible!!
So how to get rid of these persistent icons and declutter your desktop?!
This is a fun one!
You try to install some updates to Windows, and your puter reboots. And reboots, and reboots, and reboots…
It seems to get stuck at 35% or some percentage, but then it does nothing.
Restarting your puter doesn’t help, because it just stays at the same point in the update process, forever and ever.
So, how to break the cycle and finish the update? Read on!

We all still need to get stuff done…
After many years of watching eyeballs widen when I do something on a Windows PC, my wife suggested it was time to make this video!
