    I know right, just like the way i moved it there in the first place.. Well, I tried that and it didn't work and gave me an error. Check the Imgur link for pictures. I hope I described it well enough to understand.

    Side note: In the second picture I selected the folder I want to move i too, which is my music folder on my E drive. And in the third picture, I selected no because I don't want my other files in there to be moved with it, those files are the AppData and other stuff.

    Thanks in advance, Sap

  2. Redirecting website

    Hi Pancho,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. Don’t worry. We will assist to resolve this issue.

    It can be extremely frustrating if you are trying to visit a Web page but are automatically redirected to another. This tactic is sometimes used to as a way to direct your attention to an advertisement. Other times, a hacker may be trying to install
    spyware or malware on your computer.

    It seems that your computer is infected by virus and malware. I would suggest you to run Full Virus Scan using
    Windows Defender.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/how-to-protect-your-windows-10-pc#v1h=tab01



    Also if you are using Internet Explorer, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.



    Step 1: Open the Internet Explorer browser and click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the page.



    Step 2: Click on "Internet Options," then click the "Security" tab. In the "Security Level for this Zone" box, use the slider to set the security to "High." This stops Internet Explorer from using ActiveX, preventing Web
    pages from redirecting you to others. Although this stops the redirecting action, legitimate websites may not load properly, or at all. Some functions on websites become disabled, such as links to other websites, video or PDF files. This method is extreme,
    but it stops redirects while you scan the computer for viruses.



    Step 3: Click on "Trusted Sites." Add any websites that you go to frequently and that you trust. These websites will behave as normal, without restrictions.



    Step 4: Run anti-spyware or anti-malware software on your computer (see Resources). Redirects are often causes by a virus, which software can find and eliminate. If any viruses are found and deleted, this is likely to
    end the redirects you are experiencing.



    Step 5: Go back to the "Internet Options" window, and set the security slider back to its initial position. If the anti-spyware program eliminated the source of the redirects, your browser now behaves normally.



    Try the above step and let us know if it helps. For further assistance feel free to post your queries in Microsoft forums. We will be glad to assist you.



    Thank You.

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Hello, this is my first post here and I think I messed up big time... I was redirecting my... :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
