    Hi,I have a computer which is part of a network. The Host of that network, might occasionally change the time of my computer.Is there a way for me to get some sort of a warning / notification each time an external source Host changed my time?I'm asking, because I actually have a local network of 3 computers 1 master and 2 slaves. The 2 slaves sync their time with windows scheduler once a day, at midnight.If the Host, changed the master's clock @ 02:00, I don't want to "wait" 22 hrs, till next sync... I'd like to have some sort of a "raising flag", so I could initiate pro-actively the re-sy

    :)

    External drive

    Hi Richard,

    There are several factors that can cause your external drive to not read DVDs even though the system is recognizing the device. This could be caused by a driver that needs to updated or corrupted files. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions
    below:

    • Just to confirm, the device that is not working properly is a external DVD optical drive?
    • Were there any recent changes or updates installed on your computer?
    • Have you tried to plug the external drive to a different port on your computer?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that your run the built in troubleshooter in Windows 10. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on
      Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    This will check for common errors that affect hardware on your computer and attempts to correct them.

    We look forward to your response after completing the steps.
