    Why do they make it so B****Y difficult

    Error code: 0x8007232B.


    The problem with the above reply, is the fact that I do not belong to any organisation, I am a 70 year old computer fanatic, recently, my graphics card went west (crapped out). Also it knackered my "C" drive, consequently, it will not accept serial number. The Microsoft help page just give the above error.

    After Windows 10 upgrade I find some new drive (YWhy do they make it so B****Y difficult :) by name PBR Images appearing and then disappearing every now and then

    Hi,

    Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

    • What was the error message/code you were getting?
    • What happens when you try to open the new Y: drive?
    Try the following steps and check if it helps:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to check if you are able to view the new Y: drive and if there is any memory loss in the Disk Management.

    Follow the below steps to check the disk partitions from the Disk Management:

    • Right click on the Start button and select Disk Management option.
    • Check if you are able to view the new Y: drive and memory loss.
    If the issue persists then follow the below step.

    Step 2:

    I suggest you to run check disk on the hard drive to see if there are any corruptions.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press
      ENTER      :
    chkdsk /f

    Disclaimer: While performing check disk on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found then check disk will try to repair that sector. Any data available on a bad sector might be lost.

    Once Check Disk completes, boot the computer and then check.

    If the issue still persists then, I suggest you to provide us the screenshot of the issue in order to assist you further.

    Kindly refer to the following Wiki article created by Shawn 'Cmdr' Keene [MVP] on
    How to include a screenshot in your post.

    Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further.

    Thank you.

    Webcam only in B/W

    Hi Seth,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I can understand that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should.



    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:



    1. What is the model number of the laptop?
    2. Is this an external/internal webcam?
    3. If it’s an external webcam, may I know the make and model of the webcam?


    I suggest you to refer the section ‘Roll back your webcam driver’ from the article
    Camera does not work in Windows 10 for the troubleshooting steps.



    Get back to us for further assistance on this issue with the required information. We will be happy to help you.
