  1. Windows 10 crashed and all my data is lost


    Several days ago my PC got stuck on the Lock screen, out of focus. I have never used the lock screen.

    When I used standard techniques to force a restart I got options that demanded my lock PIN. The Windows recovery options were all inaccessible.

    I used the Dell recovery features and it restored my computer with Windows 8.1 and virtually all of my files gone.

    Forever, apparently.

    If I install Windows 10 is there a chance that any old files will be accessible? Why do I have to pay for it now? It was previously free.

    This is a terrible situation and it's starting to look like gross incompetence or extortion.

    :)

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    QuickBooks crash while opening data file

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    As you have mentioned that after Windows and QuickBooks update whenever you open a data file in QuickBooks, it crashes. We would like to know if any other programs are crashing apart from QuickBooks.



    I suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:



    Method 1: Repair QuickBooks



    I suggest you to try repairing QuickBooks and then open data file in it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type appwiz.cpl and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Look for QuickBooks application from the list, right click on it and select
      Repair.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the repair process.


    If repairing QuickBooks didn’t fix the issue, please refer Method 2.



    Method 2: Open Sample data file



    You can try opening a Sample data file in QuickBooks and check if QuickBooks crash. If QuickBooks didn’t crash while opening Sample data file, I suspect that the data file that you are trying to open is causing the crash. In this case, I suggest you
    to contact the
    QuickBooks support
    team.



    Regards,

    Windows 10 crashed and all my data is lost

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
