  1. Need help


    Around the time of me downloading a BIOS update from Lenovo i dont recall whether it was after or before, my laptop hanged indefinitely when i booted it up, and i had to close it through the power button and reopen it.

    This happened for a while, then yesterday i went through the usual procedure and I instead got a blue screen. It said critical service failed. I just could not open my laptop, or even the automatic repair service. I got a blue screen, it restarted and it says “Preparing Automatic Repair” and never opens it. I have to close it and open it through power button in succession to open it.
    Later the blue screen started saying inaccessible boot device.

    After some poking around i discovered i can access my files. I had noticed my C drive became X, and i checked in File Explorer and my C: which is where my windows was installed on became D: and my D: drive became the C:

    I got another mysterious E: which says something along the lines of “WINRE_DV” with 1 gb and half of it was used.

    and i saw ANOTHER drive named “Boot”. It had 500mb free and i noticed most if not all the system files from C: now D: but i will refer to it as C: for clarity were in X:


    What i think is that Windows could somehow not detect where to boot from since it usually always boots from C:, but now it detects nothing and thus it made its own drive to boot from. Is this correct?

    some info: in the BIOS, i cannot see any drives. Only “Windows Boot Manager” and i cant do anything with it.


    is the solution reassigning D: back as C: and vice versa? And if yes, how?


    Any help is massively appreciated.

    :)

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
