    Suddenly, ALL windows related programs no longer work.


    Hello, I was using my computer like normal, when suddenly, all things Windows 11 stopped working properly. I have not installed anything new, besides a windows update, and this issue is hard to explain as every thing windows related, suddenly has their own unique problem. Non windows programs still function correctly. Only thing that's changed is that I installed a windows update a day or two ago, otherwise, this all just came completely out of no where. I pretty much just use this system for Steam, and my music recording software, which I have had for years on this system.Windows Defende

    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.

    remove program from context menu when program no longer installed

    Boy do I need your help! I have a context menu item that needs to be removed, but the associated program is no longer in the installed list of programs. The program is Format Factory, a favorite of mine in the past, it is no longer offered for Win 10. The error I get causes a "reboot" of Windows Explorer. Or sometimes it hangs the whole system requiring a hard reboot. And if I try to run a new folder command from normal places, I also get the error. As a workaround I've created empty folders, "__New Folder," across my directory structure. I can copy these via a "CTRL-mouse select & drag" to get new folders into my system. But, I'd like to return to more normal operations. I need step by step instructions on how to change my context menu list. Thanks, Windows Version is 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3208) on Windows 10.

    Microsoft signals end of Paint program

    Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

    In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

    Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

    Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
