When this happens, if you open a command prompt and try to ping one of the websites you're trying to access, do you get errors? For example, pinging amazon.com: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5247] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping...

Not sure that this is a "catch", but the Backupper product is licensed yearly at $39.95; a permanent license is $69.95 which given what Macrium just did seems reasonable.

Clever!

I have 3 WD 4TB and 1 WD 3TB MyBooks that are running fine. Does your 8TB drive run quietly?

I have 3 WD MyBook 4TB and one 3TB which have run quietly without issues for years. It seems that the newer higher-capacity drives are generating complaints. I just feel like having 4 USB disks hanging off my machine is a bit much; I want to consolidate the 3 4TB drives into one and the...

Greetings all. Does anyone have any suggestions for USB external hard disks? I picked one up yesterday at BestBuy - WD Easystore 20T - for about $250 (Black Friday deal). The drive was extremely noisy (made sounds a dying drive would make); the LED flashed continuously even though nothing...

Thanks for posting this. I just disabled updates for my Office 2021 product.

OAT: Thanks for your reply; that's the setting I was using but no luck. I did some Googling and found this on Reddit: On the windows 11 host go to "Sound settings" > Under "Advanced" click "More sound settings" > ("Sound" will open up) Click the "Recording" tab > Right-Click "Stereo Mix"...

Installed VMware Workstation; installed LinuxMint guest and can't get any sound. I'll have to fiddle with it to figure out what's wrong. Thanks for your input. Rob

I'm a very casual user of VirtualBox (I use it to run Linux Mint). Not knowing a lot about VMware, would it be worth installing Workstation? VB has its warts but I use it so little that I live with it.

I think when people say they want a Windows version to look like a previous version, they want the functionality of the previous version. While it's a matter of opinion, Microsoft seems to have regressed some usability in Windows 11.

Stupid question - if you view the drive in Computer Management, does it have a drive letter?

Question for any Hasleo users out there: Can a Hasleo backup file be mounted as a virtual disk as you are able to do with Macrium Reflect? I have two commercial versions of Macrium Reflect Home (version 8) but seriously thinking of replacing them with Hasleo since it seems to get good...

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but is anyone purchasing the Macrium subscription plan? I have two computers running Reflect; my choices are 1 computer or 4 computers (LOL). The Black Friday $49/4 computers price seems reasonable...sort of, though I don't really like software subscription...
