Windows 10: Unable to access laptop

I need bitlocker recovery key to access my laptop but I don't remember the outlook account I had used it to login at first time

:)

 

Quick access folder - worthless...

I purchased a new laptop a few months ago (Lenovo Flex), and the Quick Access list is very long, and does not even display the recent folder I have been and out of several times today, but it does list folders that I have not even been in at all...at least not in recent memory. It's been this way from day one.

I've been unable to figure out how to get it back to normal.

Any suggestions?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you are unable to access the files on your desktop from your laptop. However, we would like to know the details requested below:

• Do you receive any error message/code?

Ideally, to share files between two computers, they should be connected to the same network.



We would like to know if you are able to access the drive using the IP address. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type
   \\IPAddress (ex: 192.168.x.x) and check if you are able to access the drive.
   

If you get any error, please click on the drop down arrow in the error dialogue box and let us know the error.



Also, check the sharing permissions for the shared folder. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Navigate to the location on the PC through which the files are shared.
   
2. Right click on the folder and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Sharing tab, and click on
   Advanced Sharing.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Share this folder.
   
5. Click on Permissions, select the check box for
   Allow Full Control.
   
6. Click on OK (Twice).

You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to request access.

Laptop problem: Black vertical "sidebar" [Update]

I will try that... do you think I have complete access to replace the monitor cable without dismantling the laptop from step 1? *Eek!
Tbh it's a bit scary.
