  1. An item can't be synced because the name "NUL" isn't allowed but that string is nowhere


    I have just started using Windows 10 after a few years using MacOS. I am trying to sync my OneDrive without success. The app is syncing the file and then a window pop up saying "The name "NUL" isn't allowed. To sync the item, go to your OneDrive on the web, search for the item, and rename it". Unfortunately, there is no NUL on my OneDrive and now I cannot finish my sync. I have tried to reset, reinstall, without success.


    Do you think there is any possibility to see at least in which folder should be this file?

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    Managed to solve it... here´s how I did it just in case anyone else has the same problem...

    ->Settings

    ->Printers & scanners

    ->Add a printer or scanner

    ->The printer that I want isn´t listed

    ->Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings

    ->Use an existing port: USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)

    ->Choose printer

    ->Use the driver that is currently installed

    ->Type printer name

    And done... =P

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
