have a laptop running windows 10
don't know what i did and when but it wont see my usb memory sticks any more says registry errors
is there a recommended tool to fix my registry?
i have tried the windows updates but it says all is up to date ill do a disk defrag later today to see if that helps too
Try CCleaner, (free version) it will straighten out your registry.
Code:https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?source=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAiA7ovTBRAQEiwAo8dPcdg_ll9SYVmD4R5Bkkq5qZ967-TNAuuO76RXAS-wxbBCV3tuxmVb6BoC800QAvD_BwE
And it wont see any USB sticks or just the older ones used before??
Did win-10/you disable the usb ports, windows 10 safety features ?
Also anything showing up in Device Manager under usb etc.
Well a while back I probably installed something I should not have
But I was trying to download and old move to watch( curly sue) I went to use my external hard drive and it would not see it
Then I tried a usb memory stick same thing
Now the wife tried with one of hers same thing
I just ran the cleaner thought let's reboot the laptop. It would not shut down so I helped it now it's having issues coming back on
Went threw some of there steps it's trying to do a repair it said can take an hour so I'll let it do it's thing.....have a birthday party to go to fingers crossed it's okay when I get home or it might be a long nite
I don't know much of windows 10
I'm lazy I use to like xp when I messed it up I'd just format the computer and start again lol
Go into device manager and scroll down to Usb root hubs. go into power management on each root hub and turn the device power off. then turn it back on. Sometimes that will reset the USB hub. If your usb is showing up in device manager, make sure the drivers are working properly.
I did that last night I saw that on Google it didn't help it
If you think it is registry issue, try Registry Mechanic. There is usually a good cracked version on thepiratebay. I have used it for years . CC Cleaner is another one, and that one is free. There is also a good registry fixer in Advanced Uninstaller Pro. There usually is a good cracked version on the piratebay too. Make sure you make a backup regedit file before you make the changes. Sometimes the cleaners can cause more problems than the ones you already have.Quote:

Just get Open Office "Free"
open office works for most my needs but the stupid printer wont print open office stuff only prints word stuff

Then i would say the Printer is the problem to fix or get a new one
