AskWoody PlusHi Paul,
I originally moved Docs, together with several other data folders, to a separate drive so that data would be unaffected by operating system failures. It’s worked ok for a long time. This latest issue affected the Docs folder only, which surprised me. I have Malwarebytes and additional AV progs which work well.
I do have another internal disk and back up regularly to it, although not daily.
It didn’t appear to be a disk problem, since everything else on the disk was ok.
I remain puzzled.

AskWoody PlusMarch 16, 2023 at 5:32 am in reply to: Introducing tiny11 a lightweight and debloated Windows 11 for less powerful PCs #2543953I’m having problems installing Tiny 11 on an old PC which does run W10, but is running in MBR. I used Rufus to prepare a USB stick in MBR and tried to boot up from it but it just sits there showing a blue window and makes no progress. I tried to run the prog from inside W10 and get an error message
Any help would be appreciatedA1ex

I was so impressed I purchased it for the following year for £20+ which covered 5 devices, so my mobiles got covered as well as my 3 Windows installations.

I am running as administrator, and no updates are pending.
I should have mentioned I found this problem on both Windows 7 & 10, which I dual boot

AskWoody PlusAugust 15, 2022 at 9:57 am in reply to: CleanSweep2 — When you need extra hard-drive space fast #2470389I tried this to get rid of update files, It made no difference. After running it I ran Windows cleanup and found over 3Gb of update files still there, which I then cleaned.
Disappointed.
