View 2 RepliesI am trying to block all porn sites on the laptop that I let kids play on. I tried using the hosts file to block them, I found a huge list of porn sites to block. But when I tried to load other sites like Facebook, YouTube, etc. It will take forever to load as I believe it is checking the whole list of sites.
Now what am wondering is there anyway of doing it and not have any difference with the speed of any other website? Because youtube should just come up with no issues. But with all those sites in the host file it takes forever.

View 6 RepliesMy brother upgraded to win 10 then had great problems with drivers which I am trying to sort out for him but at the moment he has rolled back to win 7. The only problem he has now is that he can't download pictures from his camera either by connecting via usb cable or putting the sd card in a slot on his laptop. We can view them but not copy, paste or download them to the computer. we have re-installed the programme that came with the camera which always worked fine with Win 7 before. All we are getting every time we try to transfer the images no matter what method we use is a pop up saying you do not have permission to do this action. he is logged in as an administrator. I have tried logging in as a user, logging as a different adminstrator but am now running out of options ....

View 1 RepliesIf I tranfere big files and lots of them internally in my HDD Drive, I have noticed that if I play a videofile at the same time it will lag. I understand this is because the internal write and read speed is overloaded because of the file transfere.
What I want to know is, will the file transfere also slow down my download to the same drive, since the filetransfere is using almost all of the write speed?
The comments in YouTube won't load for me in IE on W10.
When I use F12 dev tools and put user agent string to either Chrome or Firefox the comments will load. When I put the string back to default they won't load.
I cleared all cache, cookies, reset browser settings, restarted PC, flushed DNS, restarted modum and router, disabled all add-ons, uninstalled adblock plus, and nothing works. Comments won't load.
So it seems it is only dependent on the user agent string.
I bought a UPS from a local company, and the software it comes with seems to work okay on windows 10, although officially it does not support this platform.
there are a couple processes that now start up with windows, one of them is java platform SE binary, the other one is Commons Daemon Service Run...
I can't find anything relevant in windows task manager startup tab, and also no shortcut appears in the startup folder.
I would rather not have these processes autostart, as it is a rare day that I actually need them, and besides, I understand that java is a security risk.
How can I disable them, until I actually want to run the UPS program?
I have a provider who has emailed me numerous times a password reset. His notice that the password reset e-mail had been sent, yet I never receive the password reset email. I email him back and he says it was sent! I have checked spam, junk, and every other place I could think of and its not there? I don't know where the problem lies, Windows? Outlook? Server? My ISP said they do not block or screen emails.

View 7 RepliesI am now encountering a series of bugs that i've never seen before in any windows.
OS: Windows 10 Pro official 64
Connection type: Wifi, no firewall activated
Applications impacted: Steam unable to connect, Google chrome unable to connect to install software, Mozilla Firefox same thing, and probably more apps get the same problem but i can download them and install if the installer doesn't have to download anything. It seems like a services that is not working inside windows installer.
I am able to navigate in Microsoft Edge, and some other apps, but unable to install other application, it is like the firewall is blocking the internet acces but the problem is no firewall are activated right now , nothing has been changed to the router settings as other computers on windows doesn't experience that problem. See screen captures below...
Screenshot 1 : it says check you firewall setting to put chrome to your white list
Screenshot 2 : your download has been interrupted, click ok to continue ( nothing has downloaded not even 1% )

After two days of trouble shooting I am at wits end. Somehow a User Account has been created with a name related to my Sonos Controller app. It's called Sonos Wireless HiFi System. For all but a very few executables, when I try to use them I get the UAC window, which lists the executable I'm trying, but asks for an administrative password for the Sonos Wireless HiFi System. I did not create this User Account so I have no password.
I've tried uninstalling the Sonos app, but the notice comes up preventing it. I've tried editing the registry to remove the app, but the notice appears. I've tried similar things to delete the User Account. I've tried to reset or recover, but the notice appears. I've tried too many things to list, but whatever I try to execute I get this notice - even for attempts to edit or delete.
SWHS is listed on the start menu as a User Account, just under Guest. It is NOT listed in my User Account Controls.
Microsoft now allows Windows Defender to detect PUAs
Microsoft has recently added a new adware protection system for enterprises, allowing them to detect and block Potentially Unwanted Applications (also known as PUAs) on their computers.
But according to Microsoft own announcement, this feature was only available for enterprises, so consumers running Windows 10 Home or Pro, for example, aren't getting it.
And yet, there's a very simple way to enable this feature on any computer with Windows Defender, and as gHacks notes, it all comes down to just a few registry tweaks.
Before anything, make sure you create a backup or a system restore point, just in case something goes wrong and you need to recover your Windows install.

I just installed Windows 10. I'm having problems loading many of the websites I used to visit when I had Windows 8.1 installed. I'm getting the message "There is a problem with this website’s security certificate." with Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge just shuts down when certain websites are accessed, Wikipedia and pbase.com for example.
Also, Facebook won't display any images or allow me to upload images.

I have updated my ThinkPad Helix (1. gen) to Windows 10 as soon as possible, went well, no hassle except to find some drivers, but got them in a matter of days. Anyway, I didn't experience the improvement of performance, I expected, so I went for a clean install. Also because I couldn't get Office365 activated - a glitch, I read about several places, none with other solution than clean install of Windows. And I prefer a clean, virgin, fast and clutterfree installation - until I clutter it again ...
Installation went well, took a little over two hours (with cleaning of SDD), chose to keep no files (but had to start over again, because I wasn't satisfied with the folder structure and user names). But now, up and running again, I'm experiencing lags and holds, when primarily, opening at website with Flash or other things going on, like video or a chat window. The cursor reacts with seconds delay, hardly to control, have to use my fingers to close the browser again. And it's the same, regardless using Firefox, Chrome (this is worst), Edge or IE ...

So I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and am trying to get the Xbox app working.
When I open it up, I am greeted with a message that says: "There's a problem with your account. To fix it, go to Xbox.com and sign in". I have a valid Microsoft account, that works fine for everything else. None the less, I go to Xbox.com in Firefox, click Sign In, and am greeted by a error screen. I find this odd, because I'm not even logged in yet (I've even wiped my cookies to be sure). It would appear that something on my system is blocking the Xbox login site system wide, hence why It wont work in the app or in a browser.
Screenshots of the errors are attached and shown bellow. I cant figure out what could be blocking it.
