Windows 10 Mail as Gmail Backup

Thank you very much for the information. Your views on WLM were interesting and has definitely put me off going down the WLM route now. When I looked at the settings page I saw that both IMAP and POP are enabled (the latter for all mail since 03/11/2006). As I do have e-mail that I definitely...

Windows 10 Mail as Gmail Backup

I have just bought a Windows 10 laptop and I see that it comes with a mail client installed that can connect to Gmail. Does the mail client download e-mail files to the laptop and can it be used to backup Gmail (i.e by backing up the laptop after mails have downloaded)? On my previous laptop I...

[SOLVED] Continuing MSRT Problems

Thanks, Brian, for your help :smile9: I guess that bottom line is not to use my registry cleaners!! If I did, what key should I look for so that it can be bypassed when doing a clean or is doing a registry clean (which I used to do fairly regularly after installing software updates) a waste of time?

[SOLVED] Continuing MSRT Problems

I tried to run chkdsk as suggested but got a message that chkdsk could not open the volume for direct access. Should I use chkdsk /f instead? I looked at the log produced by the exec and it didn't have any information in it relating to the latest chkdsk run. The latest entry was:- ------< Log...

Repeated Offering of Malicious Software Removal Tool for November

The problem seems to have corrected itself for now as, at the next reboot, the November MSRT update disappeared and since then the December one has gone through okay. If it happens again I will do as suggested.

[SOLVED] Continually offered KB890830 Malicious Software Removal Tool for October

I have started running the SURT tool and it has been running for about 35mins so far. Just had a quick look at the CheckSUR.log (by copying it on to my desktop) and it has got as far as checking the Component Store. Other than reports on other areas that it has checked there are no errors so...
