It turns out that uninstalling and re-installing fixes the problem.

General Computer Support / Blocking unwanted alerts

How to prevent an alert about IDM at bootup of x32Win10ProV22H2 ? It says "Some application has damaged IDM integration into browsers". Manually I can just close that window, so one option would be an automated procedure for closing that window, but I'd prefer prevention/blockage. I'm guessing some Registry tweak might do it.

General Computer Support / Privilege required to alter registry

« on: June 26, 2023, 12:24:55 am »

In seeking to edit the x32Win10ProV22H2 registry, at every turn I am prevented by lack of privilege. So I searched in Google and found the following : "To GRANT ALL privileges to a user, allowing that user full control over a specific database, use the following syntax: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost'; With that command, we've told MySQL to : GRANT the PRIVILEGES of type ALL (thus everything of course)." Does this apply to Registry ? and if so, I'd like help with substituting for 'username' and 'localhost' as well as WHERE do I type 'mysql etc" ? If it does not apply to registry, how can I get the privilege required to merge an edited registry hive ?

I noticed that most of the PSU vent holes were clogged with 'lint'/dirt. Once I vacuumed that away, the need for multiple boots stopped.

I have a x32Win10ProV22H2 with 4Gb RAM in a tower desktop. Why would it take 3 or 4 attempts to boot in the morning before running satisfactorily all day ?

General Computer Support / Avoiding loss of mouse cursor

« on: December 10, 2022, 07:50:09 pm »

My x32Win10ProV22H2 with 4Gb RAM often (daily) loses the mouse cursor, thus requiring a reboot. Event Viewer shows the same sequence of 'alerts' at that time : EventLog (error), Kernel Power (critical), AFD (warning), SNMP (error).  After a reboot, the mouse cursor TENDS to stabilise for hours. How could I prevent the cursor loss?
