  1. What is this weird pink window thing?


    So I use my PC for mostly gaming and Making videos, and I open my computer to a weird pink dot that can turn into a window? I don't know what I did, but I just turned on the PC and it had a pink blot in the corner. I tried restarting, turning it off and back on, Unplugging the HDMI cord, and just all around unplugging the whole pc, and the troubleshooting says everything is fine. Also I'm sorry but the insert function won't let me put in a screenshot heres a link to the image instead https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvY5OcnL5h15tlorjC0vDP4mzHX4?e=XywLW0

    :)

  3. win 10 update leaves vertical pink line on screen

    today i applied latest win 10 update and now i have a vertical pink line on screen, it remains on every screen. i have tried these fixes

    Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan,
    System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
    Step 2: Also, I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

    Steps to Update the Display Adapter driver.

    • Press Windows key + Xkey when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapter.
    • Right on the Display Adapter and click on
      Update driver software
    BUT i still have the line on screen.

    Pink Folder Names


    Something very weird happened just now. *Shock
    I opened a folder with a subfolder in Documents. The subfolder had nothing in it. When I returned to my Documents, all the folders names where pink! Why?
    I returned to the folder and took the Read only off. When I returned to my Documents, all folder names where black again. I then just deleted the questionable folder and all seems black and fine now. I'm sure I've seen these pink folder names in Windows 7 before and my gut instinct just tells me it's not a good thing.
    What do pink folder names mean and how do I prevent the folder names from ever turning pink again?
