Windows 10 Error 0x800f081f -Source file not found

One of 'problems' of going back to a previous image is that some recent applications have to be re-installed. That's OK unless the application vendor thinks your trying to install the app on a second (or even third PC) when your not! WinZip Driver Updater is a case in point. Since I only...

Windows 10 Error 0x800f081f -Source file not found

I think it must have been the Broadcom SM Bus Controller driver that was causing my sleep function not to operate. I've just checked my Intel Engine Management Interface driver and I have version 11.0.0.1176 (which Microsoft tell me is that latest suitable driver for this operation) and with...

Windows 10 Error 0x800f081f -Source file not found

Well, we saw a bit of sun here today (we're approx 80 miles north of Edinburgh) - but a lot of wind! I measured it on the hill opposite our house (which certainly isn't the highest point around) and it was gusting at 30mph. Last night, it reached 100mph on the Tay Bridge! Many thanks for the...

Windows 10 Error 0x800f081f -Source file not found

My PC still seems to be working OK, despite the corruptions thrown up by sfc / scannow & DISM. I'll leave removing them until the next major Windows 10 build / overwrite of the OS, unless it plays up operationally. As a Microsoft 'Insider' do you know when MS are likely to issue a new build? I...

Thanks for the further post. First I tried your suggestion of the Power Troubleshooter. That just reported that my time before sleep was too long and simply reset it to 15 minutes. It didn't fix the problem. I then un-installed the latest Microsoft update, and the problem still existed. I...

Hi again OldGraygary. Thanks for the info. I think I have explored all the choices that the 'Power Options' gives you - all to no avail. I set my PC to go into sleep mode after 15 mins of no activity and then left it. Sure enough it went to sleep - but only 'half sleep' with the fan motor (or...

Yes, there's a bunch of us ex-SGI folks who communicate with each other via LinkedIn. (They're based just down the road from the old SGI buildings in Mountain View.) One of the 'gang' now works for Google as a senior graphics man. He told me the other day that it seems strange going back to the...

HaHa, you've found me out OldGrayGary! I started that post on Windows Forum. I haven't been back to it for a while, but I see I'm not alone in having WLM problems of one sort or another. The installation of the WLM patch hasn't made any difference - good or bad (i.e. no error messages showed...

Hi again I've installed all the updates that Microsoft has sent me (up until yesterday evening) but I can't see KB30933594 listed when I ask Windows 10 to list the updates. Of course, it may be in one of the 'bundles', but just in case it's not, I've downloaded & run it anyway. I'll let you...

Thanks for the quick reply. My PC is still behaving itself! (Apart from Windows Live Mail.) When you have ample storage space (which I do - an external Toshiba 4GB hard drive and a 2GB Buffalo external with hardware encryption - which is really useful for backing up personal data on) taking...

Many thanks for the detailed reply OldGrayGary. I think I have fixed (fingers crossed) all my problems so far - except one I have for ages. (I'll come back to that.) Yesterday morning I thought I would 'bite the bullet', so I restored my PC to the image I took on 28 November, immediately after...

Many thanks for the two posts OldGaryGary. I tried the above & would comment as follows: 1. When I Right Click on the Start menu the list comes up but is not active - with either the left or the right mouse click. (I've found this happened a couple of days ago when I wanted a Command prompt.)...

I recently upgraded my 64-bit Windows 10 system to version 10.0.105860.0. Most of the time it's OK, but sometimes after leaving it in 'Sleep' mode it comes up with a error when re-activated. I therefore ran sfc / scannow. This came up with some corrupt files that it couldn't fix. (These may or...
