• search engine defaulting to strange obscure search engine despite google being the default

  After you remove the add-on(s) and verify the search engine in use, then run adwcleaner from majorgeeks.com or toolslib.com. It should remove the remnants. Source: 11 months ago

• Struggle with intel AMT/vPro (ME7) on windows 7 machines.

  Basically, the whole software crashes when trying to configure the AMT profile onto the device (the last step of the process). I'm running the SCS 12.2.0.150 (weird since the last version seems to be .139) package and it's the only version I was able to find (on majorgeeks.com) since intel did not have an archive of this software (Why??), and before that, I had to deal with weird issues concerning time sync with...

• Trying Scrolling and Printscreen Sharex on Majorgeeks.com, a few questions.

  I noticed I had to increase the scroll count from 20 to like 100 to have it capture the entire scroll of majorgeeks.com. BUT in 2 attempts of majorgeeks.com when I looked at the resulting scrolled image it showed some URL's on the screen that were not there. Prob will happen to you. See image below. This also happens if I just hit printscreen. It saves the image and shows the URL's like below. Source: about 2 years ago

• A virus blocked my access to certain antivirus websites and I also have a bitcoin miner virus runnning in the background. Need help.

  Instead of going to antivirus sites can you go to say filehippo.com or majorgeeks.com to download antivirus software, try Avast and do a boot time scan. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is it preferred to overwrite old program versions, uninstall before installing the new one, or to use portables?

• Existence of Windows Transfer Utility?

  If you want to buy Macrium Reflect you can redeploy your old computer's image on to your new computer - MR sorts out the different hardware driver issues - but quite frankly it's usually best to copy over your personal files, fresh install 3rd-party software with something like Ninite, Patch My PC or WingetUI and then export the settings and app data over from the old computer.

• Microsoft Store in Perpetual Update (I've tried everything Google has had to say but to no avail)

  What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly.

• 10->11 most efficient data transfer method

  Transfer personal files over, use Patch My PC to install 3rd-party apps all at once and quickly, copy app settings over to new machine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Reset & Backup On Win11

  If you image your whole drive and then restore it, you'll be right back in the same exact place you are now. Back up your personal files, 3rd-party software settings (where possible) and browser bookmarks to external storage, do a PC reset from settings using the cloud option, reinstall 3rd-party software with Ninite or Patch My PC.
