  1. How to fix Windows not letting me delete or save things on my laptop?


    Today I was trying to save a a picture and use it for my google meet class in my multimedia and computer information classes for a class grade. The option shows up not being grayed out by anything, but no window shows up allowing me name it or put it into a folder. So, I tried deleting some files off my files but it wouldnt let me delete it or move it to the recycle bin. I then decided to go to my storage and delete 50gb of storage but nothing happen the same problem was happening. I tried resetting my laptop many times to no success.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 won't let me delete files on flash drive

    Hi,

    Thank you for giving us an opportunity to assist you with the query.

    I understand the inconvenience caused, now that you have me with you let me take care of this.


    • Are you logged in as the administrator?
    I suggest you to take full ownership of the files\folder and then try deleting.

    Follow the steps below:

    • Right click on the drive and select properties.
    • In the properties window, click on the security tab.
    • Click on the ‘advanced’ button and check the user name against ‘owner’.
    • If a different username is displayed as the username, click change.
    • Type your current username and click on ‘check names’.
    • Click Ok and save changes.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.

    PC Cant Obtain a IP Address, Need some advice!

    Step 1: Click START button
    Step 2: In the Search area, type "regedt32" (of course don't include the ""), right click on the search result and "Run as Administrator".

    Step 3: Click on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", should expand out to a list of stuff
    Step 4: Next choose "SYSTEM", should expand again
    Step 5: Choose "CurrentControlSet", expands again
    Step 6: Choose "Services", expands to a super large list of stuff

    Step 7: Click on "Dhcp", the right window will show the files in that folder
    Step 8: Double click on "DependOnService"
    Step 9: Delete all the words in text area, except "Afd", and click OK. You are done here

    Step 10: Next under "Services", look for "EapHost", this should be a few folders below Dhcp Step 11: Same thing, double click on the file "DependOnService"
    Step 12: Delete everything in the text are and click OK. You are done.

    Now, close everything and RESTART WINDOWS. Your WLan should be back and working once your computer starts. Hope this saves you like it saved me. Thanks to original poster for the wonderful resolution. Your post was almost too obscure to find, but I'm glad this is SOLVED! I'll be spreading the word around to save people from the constant agony of WLAN SVC going balistic every time after a registry cleanup."


    THIS^ FIXED IT!! yay thanks everyone!!
