Windows 10: DELETED KEYBOARD DRIVE

I was following a YouTube guide on how to fix my windows key that wasn’t working but instead of that it lead my keyboard to not work

:)

 

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

 

Problem: One Drive causing keyboard input lag.

Hello MattEmery1,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To check with the query, I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps and see if it works.

Method 1: Check with the keyboard layout.

It seems like an issue with the keyboard layout. I would request you to change the keyboard layout to English US and you will be able to use all the keys normally. For more information, you may refer the article

Add and switch input and display language preferences in Windows 10.

Method 2: Uninstall One Drive.

Delete the One Drive app and check if you are facing the same issue. If the issue persists, it must be with the keyboard else it’s with the One Drive. For more steps, refer
