Some Specific Program Open In Negative Space
Jan 14, 2016
I did an upgrade from 7, and then I went back and did a clean install of 10. Now two programs seem to open in negative space.
They arent opening off screen. i have tried setting display options from refresh to size and cascading windows to bring all open windows to the screen. Nothing.
However, when I Alt-Tab, the window is shown clearly. It shows an accurate preview of what is appearing on the screen, selecting it just does essentially nothing. This has led me to believe the windows are opening in limbo (negative space).

Whenever I want to search for a specific program it doesn't show anything. For example if I search 'Steam' a program that exist in the OS, it will find nothing.
I also noticed that it doesn't search files that aren't inside the OS drive. (A song on another HDD)

What does "%1" means in windows file open popup, or what program causes it? I think it's associated with picture file types (jpg, png, gif...)
Is there any way to delete it or find what program causes it and fix it by re/uninstalling that particular app?

I have my TV connected to HDMI and a small, old monitor connected to VGA on a Radeon 4600 video card. I have Kodi (multimedia player) set to open full screen when the default user account logs in and it does so on the main monitor which is my TV. I have the smaller, older monitor set up so I can still use the computer when someone is watching a movie on the TV. I have multi-monitor set to extend the desktop.
But my problem is when I open a program it wants to default to opening on the main monitor and when I open a program from the second monitor, it opens behind Kodi on the main monitor (and I have to click and drag it over to the second monitor) - so I would like to switch the old VGA monitor to be the main monitor and the TV to be the second.
Is there a way I can force Kodi to open and stay on the second monitor once I make my TV the second monitor?

I've been running Windows 10 since last August, after upgrading from Win 8.1 on my Asus laptop.
I use the taskbar (launchbar?) to start my favourite programs, such as Excel, and some 8-10 files are stacked on the icon so I can right-click the icon and select/open my desired file.
That was until approximately 10 days ago, when clicking on a file name only opened Excel, and I have to do a file/open within Excel to get the file I want open. Other programs that are also on the bar e.g. my PDF program, still opens the file name I click on.

Whenever I try to do anything, like install a program, open some files, I get an UAC warning saying: :"To continue, type an administrator password", but there's no textbox where I can type the password and Yes button is disabled. I found a solution on the forum [URL]..., but I can't enter Safe mode whatever I try, I never get an option to enter safe mode and I can't use msconfig cause UAC blocked it. What can I do?

Trying to figure this out in Windows 10. I have a file on my system, and windows doesn't yet know what program to open it with. When I right click the file and select "open with", the dialogue is quite different. Now I no longer have the option of selecting a perfectly fine program from my computer and open the file, my only option is to search for a program in Windows Store which turns out to be a dead end. What option is there to associate a program with a file extension in Windows 10, as the on the fly method that always used to work perfectly.

I have had repeated BSOD with message (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) on a Lenovo E550 running Win 10 Pro 6 bit (upgraded from win 8.1pro 64). It occurred:
1. on sleeping, and
2. seemingly randomly. i.e. with applications open, idle with no applications open
I seem to have got around (1) by unchecking the "Turn on fast startup" option in Power Options. but the BSOD continues to occur at other times.I have used the Lenovo System update tool to update the drivers it can but have reached the limit of my current capabilities/knowledge so am looking for interpreting the dump files and troubleshooting. Per BSOD posting instructions I've run the utility and attached the zip file to the post.

I just bought a WD My Passport Ultra and it comes with a copy of WD Backup. Never using backup software I decided to give it a try and see what happens. I had no problems at all until I ended up with a message "These files failed to back up: UPPS.bin, 15.77kb". so I decided to try and find the file, which I found. The question is, what this file does and is it necessary to backup? Probably most of you know where this file is but for those who don't you can find the file at: C:UsersUser NameAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsUPPSUPPS.bin.

I have a paid Utility that I use to set certain performance adjustments. What I'd like to do is find out exactly where I can make these same adjustments from within Windows 10, so I can make these same adjustments on a PC where I don't have access to that same utility.
Here is the first batch of settings, restart the Shell, force DLL unload from memory. Increase paged memory usage for NTFS. I can disable Auto Restart fro the Advanced Settings panel in System Info, so that's not a problem. The last item "Adjust Processor Scheduling for best performance of Programs/Services, I know where that is as well, so it's the top three settings I'm not sure where they are.
This one, I'm not sure where to shut off the prefetcher
And finally these three settings. which tell the system to shut down quicker.
But most important is at the very bottom there, "Automatically Close Non-Responding applications"-
Which is very useful when apps want to hang during shut-down.
I don't know exactly how the tool is doing some of these things.
I have the Utility in my home systems, so it's no problem here, mostly it's when I have to work on a PC when I am away from home, these particular settings useful with performance.
There are also some Networking settings, I don't know exactly how to duplicate:
Which is useful for various types of broadband networks. I've been dependent on tools like these since XP, I figure if the tool can make the adjustments, why can't I just do it directly?

The company I work for recently upgraded our computers to Windows 10.
My boss receives a Word document from our supplier every month. Before we had new computers, he used to print this off each time with no problems. However, when he clicks print now, nothing happens. The printer dialogue box appears for a second but nothing prints out and it is not left in the print queue.
He has forwarded the email with the Word document to myself and other colleagues and we all have been able to print it with no problems. So I thought it must be something wrong with his printer. However, he is able to print anything else. We have printed other Word documents, Excel docs, PDFs etc.
I copied the content of the document that he can't print onto a blank new Word document to try and print it. However, the same happens...It seems there is something in the actual document that is stopping the printer from printing it?

Running clean install Windows 10 pro, I did add a reg fix to enable photo viewer, which worked fine.
I have a many picture folders, which I was able to view all fine. Suddenly only on a few folders (approx 3 from 40) I started getting "windows photo viewer can't open this picture because either photo viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to photo viewer, error. I tried to view the same jpg's using Win10 photo and get the error "it appears we don't support this file format"... One folder has a BMP image which also won't open with any app, including paint.
Went to my backup copies, same issue. I can eliminate any malware or virus issue as I regularly scan my PC. I'm concerned because I could view these jpg's previously, I am thinking some sort of registry issue. I copied folder to USB and tried to open on another Win10 PC, with the same result. I then tried to open the jpg's on a Win 7 machine, same result. Have moved file from folder still won't open, check attributes of folder/files, I have full rights.
Now I'm concerned that the 40 or so "precious" files have become corrupt which would include my backup copies. The fact I've tried to access these files on three devices without success.
One Win10 device has the following event log entry;
"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."
Copying un-effective JPEGS into the effective folders open, copying singles files from other folders to affective folder won't open.
I tried to upload a file that won't open, it returns the message photo1.jpg this is not a valid image file.
At a loss as I can't open these files on three devices...

I have restore point space limited to 2Gigs on my Tablet. I've noticed that when a new restore point is created at the top of the list, an old one is removed from the bottom of the list. Sooner or later, I will end up with totally new restore points. Is there a way to save one specific restore point, and not loose it? (without actually backing up (not an option on my Tablet) ).

There are 2 specific websites that we were able to access just fine (about a week ago) on our home computer, phone, and tablet (at home) and on any browser.
Now, we cannot access these sites (gives 'server taking too long to respond' and ERR Connection Timed Out' through ANY browswer at our home and we CAN access them ONLY thru Firefox at our Shop/Business computer. (which uses the same ISP as our home, btw).
We have spent hours on the phone with our ISP and he did everything you could think of: Checked our Router, gave us a completely new IP, checked DNS, flushed DNS. Our sites would work when he checked them through I guess different proxy servers. And I CAN access them ONLY thru something like: Ninjaproxy.com.
These websites are through GoDaddy. We contacted them and they said they could access them fine, too.
I have increased timeout thru registry.
FireWall being on or off makes no difference
Ran various Antivirus, found no threats.
Checked both websites in question at Downforme.org and downforeveryoneorjustme.com. Both state it is 'Just You' that both sites are up and running/online.
I am thinking maybe a System Reset/Restore may work, but haven't tried that, yet.
WTF could this all mean? WHY are ONLY OUR COMPUTERS being blocked, yet various other friends (even with same ISP as us) can access them just fine?
Redirect Virus?
DNS issues?
Blocked/Hacked?
Go Daddy or our ISP at fault?
