Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “How To Fix THESE Errors”.
Windows is the world’s most popular desktop operating system, but anyone who’s used it for any length of time knows that it doesn’t mean it’s perfect.. I mean McDonald’s serves over half a billion Big Macs every year, but it’s far from the optimal thing to shove, down your gullet.. So today we’re gon na talk about a few of the most common and frustrating Windows errors and what you can do about them. Other than trying that automatic Windows troubleshooter of course., Let’s start with the access, is denied error, you’ll, sometimes see when you’re trying to open a folder, which probably seems a bit silly. If it’s on your computer., This often happens when you don’t have the right owner setup, whether it’s because you’re trying to access a system folder containing critical Windows files or whatever other reason., To fix this issue.
First make sure your user account has administrator rights, which it should, if you’re just working on your own personal computer. And right-click, the folder you’re trying to open hit Properties. Then Security, then Advanced. Click Change beside the owner field and a new box will pop up.
Punch in your username and click Check Names to ensure that you typed it in correctly.. If you did you’ll see Windows tack, the name of your PC onto the username. Click. Ok, then click the option at the bottom of the previous window that refers to child object permission entries..
This will make sure you also have access to any subfolders. Click, OK on all windows, and you should be good to go. And if you’re still having problems, go back to the Security tab we previously mentioned and make sure that your username has full control over the Folder. Just click your username select Edit and adjust the settings accordingly.. You may not want to do this on a critical system: folder though.. Next, let’s have a look at a common Windows. Update error. That’S been around for nearly 20 years..
Sometimes, when you try to use Windows, updates you’ll get this error code. Along with this message, if you’re using a recent version of Windows 10., There were some problems but we’ll try again later.. What does that mean? Thankfully, so many people have gotten this message that plenty of fixes for it are floating around.. If you go to your Windows directory you’ll, see a folder called SoftwareDistribution., Rename it to something.
Else.. Softwaredistribution.Old is a good choice, so you can find it later. If needed. And restart your machine, then just try running Windows, Update again..
If that error message keeps popping up check out the two registry entries we put in the video description below and make sure they match. What’S in your registry, exactly. All right, let’s wrap things up with something, that’s sure to be extremely frustrating if it ever happens to you. A wifi network, you want to connect to isn’t in the list that Windows provides., Assuming that everything is okay with your hardware and The wifi network itself, this can be caused if you’re, using a VPN that isn’t playing nicely with Windows.. So your first step should be to disable your VPN temporarily.. If that fixes, the issue ensure that you’re running the latest version of the VPN software as older versions can use a driver that doesn’t work correctly with newer versions of Windows.. It also won’t hurt to ensure that the driver for your wireless adapter is also up to date, but you still can’t see the network. You need. Fire up a command prompt, making sure to run it as an administrator and type in this command.. If that doesn’t work type in these two commands pressing Enter after each one and we’ve included them in the description, so you can copy and paste them easily..
