Windows 10: my computer is acting wonky

Hello to all,

I have updated windows 10 with the 1909 update and a lot of things have been acting wonky that I hope some people can help me with.

SO much so that I brought it to a computer tech person in my area. He uninstalled it back to the 1903 update and then reinstalled 1909. He ran a complete diagnostics on it and there is not
a virus
malware
hardware issue.

Problem number one is the my audacity program, which is a digital audio worksation freezes up at times, and other times it works.
Problem number 2 is my sound system. Here is the odd part:
If my headphones are plugged in when the computer turns on it, the sound will come out of the headphones only. If i unplug the headphones, and plug them back in, sound will come out of the headphones and the speakers. When I turn on the computer, and the headphones are not plugged in at all, sound will not come out of them when I plug them in but will come out of the speakers. I have never seen this before with any product.

Are others having problems with this latest update?

Any help is appreciated and gratefully accepted.
Floyd

ACT Pro 2013 will not open in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

The most likely causes on a standalone are a damaged or invalid .pad file or SQL is not running, or is damaged.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• • 
    Click your Windows Start button, choose Run and type in actdiag.
    

• • 
    When ACT! Diagnostics comes up, click Databases, the Database List.
    

• • 
    Locate your database in the list, right-click on it and select Detach. Make sure you know the filepath to your database before detaching it.
    

• • 
    When the database has been detached, open My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and browse to the location of your database.
    

• • 
    Locate the .PAD file for your database [database name].pad and delete it.
    

• • 
    Reopen ACT!...you will get a message that the last database opened cannot found, then will be taken to the Open Database dialog box.
    

• • 
    At the bottom of this box, change the Files of Type to .adf, browse to the location of your database and double-click on the .adf file for your database.
    

• • 
    You will get a message that ACT! will verify your database, click OK and ACT will reattach your database to SQL and create a new .pad file.
    
  • 
    Hope this helps.
