Would not go with that. I have lost 3 drives over the last 12 months, two of which were still in their warrantee period and replaced free (not the data of course). They were all good named drives and supposedly NAS labelled. Having them in RAID 5 though I simply replaced the drive and got it to...

You can be connected to your WiFi but that doesn't mean you have an internet connection from there. I have many networks at home but only some of them can route out to the internet. There can be many reasons why you can't from routing, firewalls, Antivirus software. I have found Win10 and 11 to...

Okay found the issue. It was a routing issue with my PC on 192.168.100 network and the NAS on the 192.168.0 network. It has been this way for over a year now and pfSense has normally routed the networks fine as my firewall. Something has changed though. I changed the NAS to the 100 network and...

Okay I am now thinking it is my Synology NAS having the issue. I can now access it via the short name and can see files but can't save any files. Times out with a network error. If I try and upload using the web interface in Synology it tries a bit and then throws an error saying login is...

I have found that Network Paths (short version) are no longer working. I have a local path to my nas device and can no longer access it via the short path. If I enter \\jvnas\ nothing happens at all. If I enter it with the full path \\jvnas.my.address\ it works fine. If I ping jvnas it returns...

I use pfSense as my router out to the world and using pfBlockerNG you can block out stuff you don't want as well as incoming stuff. You could also probably set your hosts file so that anything being sent to the telemetry address gets thrown in the black hole.

I have the same issue but it is on my Surface Studio Laptop. In full screen mode cannot select the time line bar in YouTube but if minimise it can change it. At the same time the window close button is not able to be selected. so can't close the window. Have to right click and select close...

Sorry no it doesn't. I upgraded my Surface Pro 6 to Windows 11 and tried to reset it to sell it and it would not reset at all. Kept failing and would not say why. Did the checks and it said Windows files where good. Had to reinstall using a USB stick in the end.

I have solved this but just posting in case anyone else has the same issue. I have a Surface Pro 6 that I wanted to sell so tried to reset the thing to default to remove all the apps and personal data. Tried about a dozen times and kept getting the same result saying an error occurred and no...

And now anyone who logs onto the computer can go into your AppData folder and do what they like.

Upgraded my Surface Pro 6 last night. I used the Update Assistant. The download and initial work took about 20 minutes during which I could use the Surface Pro fully. The upgrade itself took about 20 minutes from 0% to 100% and being able to log back in.

Time change works because the certificate expired on it. MS need to up their game when they can't even spot their own security certificates expiring.
