  1. Cannot download to the downloads or documents section on the computer-Windows 10


    I also cannot upload from that section, either.

    Examples: Getting documents as attachments in an email I want to download to the computer.

    Paying a bill online and saving the confirmation receipt to documents.

    Uploading something from downloads into Docusign. Will not work on upload feature. I have to drag & drop it in.

    Pretty much all my time on my computer is spent downloading & uploading things for my business.

    Happens on both direct download and print to pdf. Sometimes when I am in Chrome, the print to pdf screen is the one you normally see in Chrome and sometimes it switches to the print screen you'd see in Edge even though I am in the Chrome browser.

    It all doesn't work, whether I am in Chrome or Edge as a browser. It may take the first attempt, but after that, the documents screen goes blank and says "working on it" and nothing happens and I see a message that it is not responding.

    My company tech support cannot figure it out. Apparently there isn't anyway to get a hold of Windows Support. Always that annoying message we will report this issue to Microsoft.

    Anyone out there have a fix for this? Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Future of TPU Download Section

    Well i personally see less of a need for a downloads section other than to host your own programs like GPU-Z.
    • Most demos you can download using torrents or direct on the official website.
    • Trailers you can get on other various sites dedicated to gaming or youtube (other video hosting sites).
    • Programs i download from file hippo or directly from the official website.
    The only time i use TPU own servers is when i see new drivers posted on the news section, then i use the TPU servers but likewise i could get them from the official website. Steam will update your drivers for you also.

    Im struggling to think of any foreseeable use for that extra bandwidth.

    Windows 10 forced download

    I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

    Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.
