    7 year old MyPassport - Health still 100% after >1040 days power on


    I have an external 2TB 2.5" WD MyPassport drive connected and powered all the time my PC is on. It's used for Genie Timeline and so is constantly backing off changed files. It's also used by Macrium Reflect.

    I realised the other day that it's now over 7 years old, bought February 2014. Hard Disk Sentinel reports Health & Performance both @ 100%. Powered on time 1040 days, 21 hours; Estimated remaining life time >784 days; Total start/stop count 4,940.

    On a weekly, or so, basis the contents are copied to other drives.

    Despite the apparently good stats from HD Sentinel should I continue to trust it, or should I look to replace before it fails, potentially suddenly.

    :)

    GPS tracking for Health and Fitness app is flakey

    I found this recommended solution on the MSN site..

    Windows Phone will only allow a certain number of apps to run in the background. Follow these steps to make sure the MSN Health & Fitness app continues to run.


    • Launch the Battery Saver app, and then tap Health & Fitness.

    • If the Allow app to run in the background setting is set to
      On, turn it off and then on again. If it's set to Off, turn it on. (You might need to turn off Background Task permissions for at least one other app first.)
    Sounds like the good old days where rebooting was the solution to almost everything.

    Health & Performance Report Not Available on 2 user accounts except the administrator's account in the laptop has Health Report

    We appreciate your time responding back to us. At this point, we would suggest that you access the built-in Administrator account to and check if you would be able to perform a Health Check from it. Here are the steps on how to enable the built-in Administrator
    Account:

    • Right-click on the Start button.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the net user administrator /active:yes and hit
      Enter
      .

    After completing these steps, you should see a message that you've done the command completed successfully. Sign out from your current user profile and you'll see the Administrator account as one of the choices.

    Let us know if you would be able to perform a system health check on your account and we'll assist you with the next steps needed.

    Once you're successful with performing a health check on the Administrator account, we would suggest that you disable it from your personal user profile by following these steps:

    • Right-click on the Start button.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the net user administrator /active:no and hit Enter.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further.

  4. 7 year old MyPassport - Health still 100% after >1040 days power on

    MSN Health & Fitness App - 155,000 steps in a day

    Is there any way to edit the data in the MSN Health & Fitness App? I use the 'Steps' to track how far I walk each day. One day it recorded that I took 155000 steps in a day, which is incorrect. I would like to be able to delete the record for that day,
    or edit it to something more realistic. Is this possible?
