Hi, Frank, so ... as well as all the other stuff going on today ... the mouse on my laptop just suddenly vanished!
Do you have any suggestions in response?
Thanks.
If you use a wired mouse unplug it from your computer and plug it back in,
or even into a different USB port.
For a wireless mouse, remove the accessory from the USB port and turn off the mouse,
then plug it back in, wait a minute, then turn it on again.
If you use the touchpad, a simple restart mostly solves this problem. |

Computers suck so much, Frank!  Anyway, I've got a HP laptop and its stuck in a loading loop. So, sometimes it just says, 'please wait.' And then other times it says, 'repairing your pc.' Or something like that. I've searched a bunch of videos online and they're not very helpful. I've had a lot of issues with this laptop as this is the same laptop; I'm convinced it was all related to a system update as of late.
I was wanting to do a full reset of the pc, but F11 doesn't even work.
Another computer that will have to be taken to the shop.

Not happy with my HP, either.
It often starts, as if it disabled the fast startup itself.
Restart the computer Hold down the Shift key and turn it on,
after the third time it should show the Troubleshooting Menu. |

For some reason I am able to get into a system diagnostic, and then system configuration, do a drive check, but according to that, my laptop is good. Obviously not if it won't even start up.
Honestly, definitely moving to a different provider next time I buy a laptop as I've has so many issues with HP laptops in the past. They really don't seem to do well with any kind of update. |

Try this:
Turn the laptop off.
Poweer it back on,
and as soon as you press the power-on button,
immediately begin hitting the Esc button, before any logo appears.
Just keep hitting it, til the Start Up menue appers.
Choose F2 to open System Diagnostics.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform System Test >> Quick test. |

It's slow, and you can't upgrade a laptop, like a pc.
Can'T change the graphic card,or add some RAM.osnafrank

Lenovo Thinkpads, and Dell Laptops are the most reliable laptops i know.
I’m guessing that you don’t use it for heavy gaming.

Question, osnafrank; wireman---daughter starting remote training. Will be using her Chromebook and headset. Would like to know if there is any way to record the lessons to her chromebook, as sometimes a great deal of material is covered and hand note taking and listening/looking becomes complex. Also is there any way to have the recordings transcribed/ even summarized??? Know asking a lot, but any info will be appreciated. I've tried to do some research and it is sorta Greek to my old dinosaur mind. Thank you!

You could use a screen recorder.

Never used a chromebook,
but i'm sure there is a screen recorder built into your Chromebook.
It's in the screenshot menu. |

To record on a Chromebook, go to settings, and then click 'Screen Capture'. Once on 'Screen Capture', switch to the video option, and then you can record. |

Frank, I've got a question regarding Outlook storage. I got a notification recently, telling me that I have to remove a bunch of storage because in several weeks or Outlook basically won't work.
Its not my attachments or emails that are the issue, its the One Drive. But when I go to delete on One Drive ... it doesn't seem to delete. Its strange. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks in advance.

Select the files you want to delete, and delete them.
Sometimes, clearing your browser cache can help resolve issues with OneDrive. |
