Guys pls I need ur help urgently. I recently used kms.auto to activate my Microsoft office and in d process I mistakenly click on activate Windows which was already activated before now.
After d activation, I noticed my system became a bit sluggish and unresponsive. Before now d system took less than 45secs to booth but after this issue it took way over a minute. I then discovered that my disk usage on task manager is usually 100% immediately after boothing even with all d start up apps disabled. I then updated my windows 10 and defender online but still same result. The major problem started when I hard reset d system. it began to take much longer to booth n was still sluggish. At a point it almost couldn't booth completely but eventually it did. I did d hard drive check, it passed d smart check but failed d short DST check. Right now, it doesn't booth again. While boothing it shows NTFS file error after diagnosing PC and repairing the disk errors, all this in an attempt to booth oo. Pls, what should I do....sobs

Hello.

Everything you do rests on the hard disc. There is a possibility that your hard disc is failing already.

First, you will get another hard disk into your PC, install an OS and see how fast it boots. If it boots quick (AVG 20s+) then you're sure it's the hard disc.

Second, take care that you do not format this current hard drive, just incase you might want to copy back important data back into the system. i.e having changed the hard drive.

Note: there are no ambiguities in this case as the hard disk does not pass DST Check and reports a HDD error on boot.

*Cheers*

Hello.

This means that default player if your OS (windows media player) does not recognise the file type.

Usually, all file extensions like .AVI, .PST, and sometimes .MP4 might not be recognised by the default media player.

You will need a third party player like VLC for PC to play these formats. So, it's not strange.

Simply search VLC for PC online me download from the very first link. It's free!

VLC does play most if not all of the video/audio file formats. Little wonder it's called the video Swiss knife.

Hi there Samfilo31

I'll suggest you download VLC media player for PC rather than formatting your laptop. It's free.

In that case, you will need to run a full scan on your PC using softwares like Malwarebytes.

If the issues persisted after the malware's are cleared, then it's certain that one of the system files is gone.

Your best bet will then be to do​ a system restore.

If that doesn't work, you will have no other choice than to backup your most important files and folders and do a clean Install. Though this is a last resort.

Hi.

Ok, let's break it down like this:

1. You power on your laptop. You see clearly that it's working normally but the display doesn't light up.

To confirm this, put a torch close to the screen, and observe from the other angle away from the torch, do you see anything?

2. If the above is the case, then something can definitely be done.

Possible causes::

.=> If the Caps lock light blinks at intervals, (every 1 Sec) then The RAM is worth considering.

=> The GPU is probably wearing out and the only way for techs around will be to heat it back until the MOBO- This is a temporary fix.

There's a high chance that a proper diagnosis hasn't been done. Take to a tech.

*Cheers*







GPU- Graphics Processing Unit
MOBO- MOther BOard

Hello.

No doubt!!! This is malware and can harm your files and compromise security.

If you are on win 10, update it and watch it do some magic.

Otherwise, Re-install the OS.

Hello.

Unfortunately, not in ways that are so straight forward grin.

If you noticed this the instant you moved some files, Ctrl+Z will reverse that. But I guess you must have started the PC several times.

A much more reliable way will be to install the software in a separate location.
Now, go to that location and copy the ".exe" file and paste it in the place where it's missing.

This way, you will be able to run your program again.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

In your question, I noticed you mentioned "setup.exe".

If that means the installation file and not the installed program, then there's little to nothing you can do other than to get the source and copy the installation folder again to your system.

For convenience, you could simply copy the "setup.exe" file back into this other folder from where it's missing.

But who knows undecided some other files may be missing aswell!! Thus the need to copy everything once again.


Phheewww... that was long. smiley

*Cheers*

Hello.

Well, yes. You can download Hp wireless assistant for your PC.

Another much much effective way would be to get a USB-Wi-Fi Dongle. Once installed, you will have full control of the Wi-Fi (from the Dongle)

This will mean totally ditching the PCs internal Wi-Fi.

BTW, How sure are you about the condition of the Wi-Fi of your PC?

Note; For Hp 655, the Wi-Fi on/off switch is right on the keyboard. Lack of response to the toggle of this Wi-Fi key, even with another keyboard, indicates a failing Wi-Fi adapter !
