  2. Are Portable SSD's Good for Backup Purposes? How long will they last? And what about 'bit-rot'?

    I use Microsoft Money from 2005. The data file I use daily has 25 years of transactions which I have wish to lose. Treasured photos and videos fall into the same category.
  3. Solved Disk Cleanup wont delete 190mb on Windows Update Cleanup

    Same bug here. This is just poor software engineeirng. Users should not need to use dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase whoich remove s the option to unistall previous updates.
  4. DISM Cleanup Store Doesn't Complete After Latest Update

    I have the same behaviour on mt desktop PC so this must be a bug. Also Disk Clean-up in admin mode does not remove the 190MB shown against Windows Update Clean-up. Typical MS software engineering.
  5. DISM Cleanup Store Doesn't Complete After Latest Update

    It removed 13MB, no change to the Store components.
  6. DISM Cleanup Store Doesn't Complete After Latest Update

    See the DISM commands below run after this week's update. A reclaimable package is found and clean-up is recommended. When I run Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup then the command rapidly reaches 70% and terminates without cleaning up the store. Is this a bug? PS...
  7. Has anyone removed the Microsoft store?

    Bold decision to remove the MS Store!
  8. Question re OneDrive

    OneDrive files are stored in the cloud under your Microsoft account and are also copied to a local folder on your PC for those files you decide to keep local synchronised copies. These local files are under C:\Users\{user name}\OneDrive.
