  1. Laptop locked itself. Not switching back on.


    Hi!
    My laptop switched itself off or went into sleeping mode and its not turning back on! The screen is just black. I tried pressing and holding the On switch but nothing. The last thing i was doing was listening to music and converting a MKV video to MP4. It was only in use for 45 minutes until this happened! Please help.
    I use an HP Spectre 360.

    :)

  2. toggle to switch taskbar location from bottom to right and back

    Because you have done me the courtesy or replying, I will comment on your suggestions rather than simply
    burying myself in the AutoIt script literature.

    Although the Task Bar COULD be hidden or locked, I can confidently assert that in the circumstances of MY use, the task bar would be locked, but not hidden. Unlocking would be one of the steps (the first ?) in the 'batch file' clicking on which would achieve my aim.
    I guess if I confine myself to ONE switch that TOGGLES, another step would involve determining where the bar is 'right now'.

    Different screen sizes and resolutions would not be applicable to MY USE of the script.

    'not really worth the effort' I suspect there is wisdom in that, but the challenge attracts me.

    I have spent MUCH effort in automating the switch from which of two monitors is the Primary one, and ended up with an unreliable script - using Macro Express.

  3. Airplane mode switch not working

    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.

    toggle to switch taskbar location from bottom to right and back

    Suggest you try simply dragging the taskbar with e.g. that command as a first step.

    Then (and I don't know quite how you'd make use of it):

    Unlocking taskbar: see Option 3 for useful info:
