    File opening very often very slow

    I used several antivirus apps (booting from an external Windows SSD), that could not find anything. I capitulated and wiped the disk and reinstalled everything anew. Unfortunately I was too quick and I nearly lost important files: I mounted a backup as a virtual drive but my user login files...

    File opening very often very slow

    No, the NAS has nothing to do with my problems: I started Windows from an external SSD and had no lags anymore, neither with the internal SSD folders nor with the NAS. I got the same speedy results when I booted my main PC again but now from a new user account. Somehow I have to "clean" my user...

    File opening very often very slow

    I have a decent PC with an i7-6700 CPU, 16 GB RAM and several SSDs and several NAS storage devices connected with Gigabit. My Windows is 10 Pro 1809 Build 17763.379. But very often, the opening of a file takes endless time, typically some 20 to 30 seconds. At first I thought it is a slow NAS and...

    Surface Go Standby desktop cmd or bat

    Indeed. As I do not want to "stress" my SSD with to much hibernation (I was quite shocked, when I looked up the write statistic of my main PC which unfortunately has 16GB RAM) and like to have a fast wake up I prefer Stand by. And as I mentioned in my starting post, this seems to be possible...

    Surface Go Standby desktop cmd or bat

    You may be surprised, but I know what the philosophy behind the Approach of Microsoft is. And you should have read, that this intended behavior of my device does not suit me: A secure stable standy state is in practice not possible, at least for any decent amount of time, when even a little...

    Surface Go Standby desktop cmd or bat

    It seems indeed to be a second problem to find any support forum where posters not only read the posts but can give advice that help. But I thought that someone from the Microsoft world (Microsoft hardware + newest Windows 1809) should be able to do that. That is why I started here.

    Surface Go Standby desktop cmd or bat

    I can put my Surface Go to Standy in the shutdown menu. But it comes back in a second, because the tiniest mouse movement from my bluetooth mouse leads to a wake up. (I tried to set the mouse to do not wake up but it did not help) I therefore tried a desktop connection with "rundll32.exe...

    Hey Cortana, why do you exist?

    To be true, I even did not know how bad it is going for Cortana. I never used it for my self and never installed it for sombody else. And probably will not use it in the future either.

    Are you REALLY using that touchscreen? - Buying Advice :)

    Re: Are you REALLY using that touchscreen? No, not at all. I even sold an iPad Pro 12.9 recently because it does not have decent mouse support. And I have lots of touch screen Windows devices. Unfortunately there are practically no matte display Windows tablets and only very few notebooks.

    Bluetooth Problems since 1709

    The latest Windows update has ruined my periphery: Most of my keyboards and most of my mice cannot be connected anymore with most of my PCs. For keyboards I now get asked for a PIN that my Lenovo keyboards do not have at all. Most of the times the devices are even not "seen" by the PCs. I...

    Matebook: Tips and Tricks

    Does anybody know an USB-C hub with Power Delivery that can power an attached Matebook? A lot of the available ones even cannot charge Mac Books but Matebooks are never mentioned. Before I spend another €50 I would like to know of course.

    Has anybody installed the W10 Creators update on the original matebook?

    My M3-Notebook has random Bluetooth problems. As this damn device only has a single USB connection I have to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. When the get lost it helps to attach a USB mouse (with an adapter of course) and let Windows show the Bluetooth devices. This renews the connections.

    How can I copy a VHD of my boot drive back to this boot drive?

    Half a dozen of my personal udates to Windows Fall Creators Update 1709 were successful, physical and virtual machines, new ones and even a netbook. But my main rig cannot be updated. It ends with a simple error message but with no specific error code. But to my total surprise a VHD that I made...

    Has anybody installed the W10 Creators update on the original matebook?

    By the way: Both the universal restore to differrent hardware than the one on which the backup was made with AOMEI and the use of Double Driver were a first for me and both went through without any hassles. Even the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro was a first for me and I was astonished that it took...

    Has anybody installed the W10 Creators update on the original matebook?

    I have tried it and with success. I even cloned another Notebook installation with additional software to the Matebook via AOMEI Backupper. Of course I used Double Driver to save the drivers of the Matebook before I made a restore with AOMEI. I even upgraded this 1703 Windows Home version to...

    Has anybody installed the W10 Creators update on the original matebook?

    I did a clean install of 1703. But first I made a backup of all installed drivers with DoubleDriver. Meanwhile I even upgraded to Windows 10 Pro with a Windows 7 Pro Product Key.

    Classic Shell Users

    Yes, I too prefer it to the standard Windows 10 Desktop. As I don't use apps and don't like tiles either, even in 8.1 times I instantly switched every device I used to Classic Shell.

    Matebook: Tips and Tricks

    It seems that the new Anker powerbank could do the trick: Anker PowerCore+ 26800mAh Powerbank Available at Amazon On a leading German Tech Site they quote Anker: "Das Huawei Matebook ist in 1 Stunde und 42 Minuten aufgeladen." Some 15 minutes faster than with the original charger as I read elsewhere
