  1. I think System Restore broke my Windows 10, but no solutions work.


    I bought a brand new laptop and recieved it on Friday January 26th. It's a Lenovo L340.

    The touchpad was awful to use, so I followed the advice from someone who'd bought the same laptop, and installed Windows Precision tocuhpad drivers. That completely broke the touchpad with the error message ”Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API” or something similar. I went to the Windows website and re-downloaded my laptop's original touchpad driver – the one it came with. But I got the exact same result with the same error. So at that point, my only solution was to do a full system restore.

    The restore took far longer than the anticipated 40 minutes – roughly 4 hours. It finally completed and my laptop booted up without any error messages, but since then, Windows has been acting strange:

    - A few of my programs have crashed while in use.

    - While using Windows Explorer and trying to create new files or folders, I have to hover over 'new' for upwards of 10 or 15 seconds before the pop-up menu will appear.

    - Programs and browsers are often slow to start or react.

    - Windows Update informs me my device is missing important safety and quality related updates.


    I tried to run Windows Update, but every time it tries to install, I get the error message 0x80073712 'Certain update files are missing or are experiencing problems'.


    What I've tried so far:

    I downloaded and ran Windows Update Troubleshooter. It told me it couldn't identify any issues.


    I ran Deployment Image Servicing and Management DISM. It completed with the message: ”The restore operation completed successfully. The operation completed successfully.”


    I then ran System File Checker SFC. It completed with the message: ”Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.”


    I then tried to run Windows Update again, but got the exact same error, and the previously mentioned problems are all still present.


    What do I do now? At this point, I can't think of anything else to do than return it to the store I bought it from and hope they'll either fix it under warranty or give me a new laptop, but I'd really prefer to handle this issue on my own.


    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
