Disable WiFi on ASUS Z370-E Gaming motherboard

I live in an apartment with WiFi service. I also have my own (faster) FIOS service. My Asus Z370-E Gaming motherboard sees the WiFi, even with the antenna removed. Chiefly because of security concerns, I want to disable the WiFi totally. A search through the BIOS found nothing. So, how can I...

Question Restore Windows XP Mode

I clone my drive about every other week. Many times I use the clone as the primary drive. Hence, I doubt it is the drive per se. Each clone has generally worked fine for a week to a month. These several drives are all Samsung SSDs, with relatively low writes. I have suspected windows updates...

Question Restore Windows XP Mode

Every few weeks, my Widows XP Mode breaks (Windows 7 Pro). The desktop icon looks for "C:\Users\Z170-1\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode 2.vmcx" This causes loss of all work in XP Mode since my last cloned drive. After today's failure to start XP Mode, I used cmd.exe to inspect...

Virtual Machine vanished, Windows 7

I downloaded XP Mode from Microsoft when I built the computer, about two years ago, no charge. Don't recall the details. Never had a CD or flash version. The DOS program I still need requires extended memory or expanded memory (forget which), and attempts to use other virtual machines were...

Cloning NVME to SSD in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Macrium Reflect is happy cloning the Samsung 1TB 960 NVME to a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD. Zero problems. I guess that's what I will do henceforth. I suspect another brand will work ONLY if it is the same size or larger.

Cloning NVME to SSD in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Cloning NVME to SSD in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

I did not remove the NVME before trying in BIOS to boot from the clone of EaseUS or Samsung Migration. I don't think it's healthy for the PCIe slot to use it several times per month. I guess I should try removing the Samsung 960, to see if the clone will indeed work, but if that is the only...

File Access Inside Broken Windows XP Mode

A Windows update, or perhaps an Avast Antvirus update have killed by XP Mode. My last XP Mode backup was over a week ago. Is there any way to access files inside XP Mode, before I uninstall and reinstall?

Of course, the question now is whether the Sammy is reliable, after having gone through EVERY step I know to fix it. And how to test it. Since the Samsung problems were not constant, working fine for a couple days may not prove much. And, to repeat, it passed HD Tune tests even when it was...

Firefox 20.0.1 Popups

In the past day or so, I have had no more popups. :cool: Happy because the popups were numerous and VERY annoying I did not rerun Malwarebytes, or try anything else. Since I did nothing else to fix it, I presume that Norton 360, my antivirus, solved it. Thanks for the help.

When I export my (1000 plus) emails to a flash drive, it takes only a second or two. When I import them into my new computer, only a couple emails are there. I have carefully checked "all" when exporting. What's the secret to getting all emails? Is there a maximum number that can be exported?
