  1. Scans History Store 30GB!


    Hi There,


    Does anyone know if it is safe to remove the files in the directory:


    C:\programdata\microsoft\windows defender\scans\history\store


    Our directory on a server has bloated to over 30GB, but I cannot find any resource on what these files are, and whether it is safe to delete them.


    Thanks

    :)

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?


    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?

    scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    Let us know how that turned out for you.
