  1. Programs disappear suddenly and no explanation


    Hello. I have a computer with Windows 7 on it, which had an administrator password on it but I removed it and then installed some programs, then I went into the bios and it was set to ATA in the bios but I tried to set it to AHCI and it wouldn't boot into Windows after that, it kept giving me a blue screen, then the option to start Windows normally or "launch startup repair" and I gave it "launch startup repair", but that didn't work either, I think it tried to repair it but I don't think it succeeded, then I went into the bios again and changed from AHCI to ATA and it let me enter Windows on

    :)

    Internet Explorer 11 Programs Tab Disappears When Clicked

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


    • What exactly do you mean by program tab disappears after you click it?

    • Do you face this issue specific with program tab or all the tab?
    I suggest you to open Internet Option from Command prompt and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps to open Internet Options.

    1. Press windows + R and type
    inetcpl.cpl.

    2. After opening the Internet options check if the issue still persist.




    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

    Urgent! All files on my USB drive's suddenly disappeared

    Hi. Thank you, I did as instructed and only two files are listed. I can actually see them myself after opting to show hidden files in File Explorer:
    Programs disappear suddenly and no explanation 364845d1650388312t-urgent-all-files-my-usb-drives-suddenly-disappeared-ono.png
    The drive did contain hundreds, if not thousands of user files. - - - Updated - - - Actually, on the first screenshot (second picture) it's open, that can be seen in the address bar (even though on the left 'my computer' is highlighted in blue, no idea why. Too bad MS forces local languages upon users, I would have opted for English but instead it chose Bulgarian for me... I still hope I can make the situation clear enough) Anyway, I took a new screenshot as suggested:
    Programs disappear suddenly and no explanation 364846d1650389002t-urgent-all-files-my-usb-drives-suddenly-disappeared-nein.png
    - - - Updated - - - I just looked up the drive's status in Disk management, it's listed as healthy, active, primary partition.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
