  1. Certain windows features not working, could it be a virus?


    I've recently noticed that certain services don't tend to work on my Computer, such as the Windows Search Bar and the Clipboard tool. I also wanted to run the Defragmentation and Optimization Program, yet when I attempt to start the Task Scheduler to allow the Defrag program to run, something restricts me from doing so. I've tried sfc /scannow and dism, yet nothing seems to work. Pretty hopeless now so any ideas on how to fix this would be more than appreciated.

    :)

    Redirect certain webpages to kittens

    Don't know about the kitten thing, but I do know that blocking "all NSFW" websites is gonna require a service/software that is updated regularly. This can either be done with software or with a router that supports such a feature, since the list of NSFW websites is constantly changing. Suggest you start with the option for family friendly surfing that is included as part of Windows Live Essentials.

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
