Why does my computer slow down after lunch?
I don't want any silly answers please, as this is a serious question. I use several programs at once, listen to the radio online through a streamer, keep Oultook open, etc. The speed is perfectly fine in the morning, however at around 2pm everyday the computer slows down, its very difficult to switch between screens quickly, and the screen frequently freezes up for 20 seconds or more. As far as I know, there are no virus scans happening during this time - note its is slow for the WHOLE afternoon. I don't do anything different in the afternoon hours than in the morning, so I am at a loss as to why it is slower.
Deleted all my Outlook PST files, I can't recover them?
After making a full scan today, I choosed "disinfect" for my .pst file, because I don't wanted to "delete" them. That was a huge misunderstanding, since it seems to me, that ad-aware deleted and shredded those files, instead of "disinfecting" them. I want to recover my .pst outlook files, but I can't, even with Piriform Recuva. I miss all my business emails, contacts, calendars, acount settings etc. from those files that were at those locations: C:\Users\My user\Documents\Outlook Files\myfirstemail.pst C:\Users\My user\Documents\Outlook Files\mysecondemail.pst E:\Users\My user\Documents\Outlook Files\mythirdemail.pst E:\1\Eta_archiv.pst Those huge files are not in the quarantine nor in the wastebin, I checked many times, they are realy deleted and shredded. Please help me on the recovery of those files or give me at least some advice.
How do I delete all user data and files on my Windows 10 PC without reformatting?
The way I usually do this, is to make a new local Admin user account, then logout of your current user profile, login to the new account, and delete your account.This process looks complicated, but only takes about 5 minutes to do.This keeps any software installed, but deletes all information related to your profile.To do this:1)Click Start -> Settings -> Accounts -> Family & other people -> Add someone else to this PC -> Add a user without a Microsoft account2)Enter a new name to use for the user name, and then select Next.3)A new User has been created, but it will be a Standard user, not an Admin user:4)To change the User type, Click on the user in the red rectangle, then click Change account type:5)You will then see this:6)Click on Administrator, then OK.The account is now an Administrator.7)The next step, is to logout of your current user profile.To do this, press Ctrl + Alt+Delete, and click Sign out8)Then, click on the new account you just created, and sign into the new account. This account will take a minute to setup, as it will create the basic settings and desktop for the new user profile the first time you sign in.9)Now you need to go back into User Accounts again:Click Start -> Settings -> Accounts -> Family & other people10)You should see your account listed in this window.Click on your account, then click Remove, and your data will be deleted, but you will be left with the new user account you are currently logged into.
