Windows 10 update failure (to version 1909)
My Dell laptop has version 1809 and it keeps attempting to update to version 1909. It has failed over and over and over again. In the past, I have received this error code: 0xc1900101. Today I received this message: "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070057)" I have searched for a solution here, but they all seem very complicated. Can anyone refer me to something simple that will fix this? (I don't understand why Microsoft is sending updates that do not work).
Update failures for Window 10
Hi everyone Is anyone experiencing updates failures for 'cumulative updates for Windows 10 version 2004 for x64-based systems #KB4550936. This has failed four times or perhaps even five times. I have gone through the usual routes of trying troubleshooter - unsuccessful. When I have clicked on the support thread, I am taken to a landing page which indicates 'sorry page not found'. I have to think that this will be fixed. I would just like to understand what has failed and why. I am a curious person. Views anyone?

requirements of Microsoft Flight Simulator made easy joke
This is a joke [I mean helpful tool] for anyone who can't understand systems requirements. FSX [2006] If you have a PC built since 2001 it will work. Recommended is even half a computer built since 2010. (just make sure its the side with the DVD drive.) MSFS [2020] Ask NASA to borrow their supercomputer. You should get a better framerate than any gaming PC. That is, 22FPS. Oh don't worry they have Windows 20 running on it. FS2002 All you need is a PC running Windows CPBWS [Windows for crappy potato based work stations] I took out half the Pentium processor and ripped out some of the RAM and Flight Simulator 2002 still works fine. Oh, and that PC was built in 2003. FS2004: Similar to FS2002 just make sure you have Windows CPBWS 64-bit edition if you want 60 FPS. FS98: This won't actually work on your shiny new desktop. Go to the garage and find the oldest computer you can [preferably a Windows DE (Dinosaur Edition) desktop.] and put the CD in. You should be able to run it. FS for Windows 95: This will work on Windows 95. And why not Windows 94? Or Windows BE [Bacteria edition, before multicellular life existed.] Any old PC will do, just make sure its not a 64 bit edition of Windows Dinosaur Edition, because that will screw it up.
What one piece of advice would you give to a new user?
Say someone had never used Windows before, what piece of advice would you give to them knowing they are starting from scratch? As someone who works as a Services Advisor in a Microsoft store, I'd personally make sure they knew that the left click is for selection of items and the right click will (usually) give you a menu with more options. I see a lot of new users struggle with that.
Bring back the ability to change text size in headings.
Why in the world did MS take away the abilities to adjust the individual settings of the headings and take away all of the functions of word art? I had rather go back to Windows 7 with all of the crap you got now.

HELP..-files locked after updating windows7 to windows10
I recently updated my windows 7 to windows 10. Realised my google drive folder, in window.old (that has been carried in from windows 7) seem to be encrypted, it has a lock sign. I have tried decryption it by various methods available, nothing seems to work, (changed security attribute, changed ownership, tried command prompt decryption) however no luck :( . The folder was not synced with the cloud hence a lot of files in the folder were sitting on my local drive. Now I can't access them at all. I understand window.old folder will automatically delete after 30 days, and I have about 10 days left to get access to these otherwise all may be deleted. Any help to rescue these would be much appreciated. Note: 1- I had backed up this folder on my external hard drive, and have realised the same issue appearing on the external hd. 2- This particular folder is google drive folder, however it wasn't synced as the capacity was exceeded. I hope the issue is understandable, and I hope someone will have solution on this as I am completely exhausted trying to recover these work files.
