Kind of solved the problem but I cheated. I reset windows. Solved

Yes I have. Thanks

I guess I mistook the problem was being a teen. It was referencing the teen badge for the download. The box says it will take me to the MS Store but I end up downloading the same file with the same result. I know, definition of insanity. Not using a work or school account either.

The MS Store won't let me download anything I believe because it thinks I'm a teen. I checked my account and it says I was born in 1954 and is correct. This has just happened. As soon as a month ago I downloaded a program just fine.

So I made the time to try the GPU in another slot and no luck. It did not work there either. Got to assume that it is the GPU. I'll look up the repair folks that BamainArk suggests. Got to mark this solved since I know what the problem is. Thanks to the respondents. Good advise as always.

I'll look them up. Thanks

Just checked. I was mistaken, all 3 of the long slots are PCI x16 slots. I'll try that tomorrow as my schedule is full today. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was re-installing my Nvidia 360 Ti gpu and damaged the slot connectors and now it doesn't work. How can I troubleshoot whether the slot connectors are ok or not? I don't want to order a new GPU to test the slot and then return it. Doesn't seem right.

Success Used terminal clean command

I'll probably get around to doing this tomorrow. Up at 4am this morning to tackle some computer problems which took up many hours trying to figure some things out. Thanks 24H2 feature update. I tried buying a ASUS NUC 14 with a 9Ultra for a CPU. Had no choice for the 24H2 stuff. I finally...

I tried to format a prior disk that was an OS boot disk. The format didn't format the whole disk. There is an EFI partition (100mb) and a recovery partition (788mb). How do I format those areas so I have a completely clean SSD with only one partition? I tried with Disk Management in the Computer...

Found this to be the easiest way for me. Just found it this morning. Create a Desktop Shortcut: Right-click on the desktop, select "New" > "Shortcut", and enter "control" in the location field. I'm marking this thread Closed Thanks to all contributors in this thread. Dale
