    What is "Windows Server" and how did it get onto my PC?


    Hello,The only reason why I now know anything about computers is because for over a year I have exhaustedly been trying to figure out what is going on with my PC. I have spent countless hours trying to figure it out, and tech support has provided absolutely no explanation or results. Anyways, I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out once and for all. This is what i know:1. Im pretty sure I have a "shadow copy" on my pc. I think this because it is a "service" that runs on my pc.2. I'm pretty sure whatever "windows server" is, is on my pc.3. When I research particular things that i am expe

    Error: "Server PC is not accessible", "The network address is invalild" on Windows 10

    Hi Gavin,

    Apologize for the delay in response to your issue.

    • Do let us know if your device is connected to a Windows Server?
    • Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested in the Microsoft help article in my previous post and check if it helps?

    Step like: Run the Network troubleshooter, Update the rivers, Rollback the drivers, turn off firewalls etc..

    Try the above troubleshooting steps update us the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    What is "Windows Server" and how did it get onto my PC?

    How 4 PCs can sync time with a server PC that is connected to internet? All are in a private network.

    I have 1 server PC that is connected to the internet and 4 PCs which are not connected. All 5 PCs are also in the same private network. The problem i have is synchronizing time for all of these 5 PCs. Would anyone know what i can do? I need detailed steps since i'm not knowledgeable in Windows administration.

    P.S.

    I've done some reading up but not entirely sure what should be my approach. My current understanding is:

    If so, my question is

    • Based on that link, it indicates to stop the windows time server. So does it mean the server PC won't be able to synchronize to the internet time?
    • If i configure with those steps, how will my 4 other PCs know to sync with this server PC?
