Windows 10: I have a complicated issue

When attempting to update windows I'm met with an 0x8007042c error code. While this is being true all troubleshooting options I have used have not worked. These were various forum posts about the same error. Curious enough when attempting to access "Status" in Internet settings it results in the setting crash. Any help at all is appreciated because this is resulting in a lot of problems using Microsoft services. I'm willing to answer any reasonable questions to aid in finding the answer.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

OneDrive - Another over complicated product from Microsoft?

I recreated what I think you wanted on a virtual machine, in a very straightforward way. Here are my steps.

Step 1: Launch OneDrive for the first time. Click on the option at bottom to change the default location for my OneDrive to a second hard drive on my system. (if you already have oneDrive setup, go to settings and choose Unlink account to get back to this point).





Step #2. Create a OneDrive folder on my E:\ drive, and select it.



Step #3. Go into newly created E:\OneDrive and create folders for Desktop, Documents and Pictures.



Step #4. Go to C:\users\user\{Desktop,Documents,Pictuers} and move them to your new E:\OneDrive\{Desktop,Documents,Pictuers}




Step #5. Run a test, using Quick access area, create a test file on the desktop folder.





Step #6. Now, go to E:\OneDrive\Desktop and verify that the file is really there




Step #7. Ensure the right folders are checked to Sync




Step #8. Optionally untick the Files on Demand feature to make 100% sure that the files are actually stored on your hard drive.





Seems pretty easy to me.
