I have been tasked to work on an Access DB originally created in access 2003. I need to unlink tables and nothing seems to work. The linked table manager is only allowing linking and relinking. Trying to delete the table does nothing and using VBA is unsuccessful. In addition there are several copies of this DB and all appear to be linked together, meaning signing into one shows several being signed into.

Having trouble with my webcam after upgrade to Windows 11 N Pro. The upgrade is on a computer which is not officially supported, since it lacks TPM. When I start the Windows camera app I get a message that the Media Feature Pack is missing. Install via the GUI doesn't work so I tried this: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> dism /online /add-capability capabilityname:Media.MediaFeaturePack Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.26100.1150 Image Version: 10.0.26100.3775 [==========================100.0%==========================] Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found. Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077. The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log However it exits with an error message I don't really understan

I am trying to ensure I have downloaded an authentic apt key for the docker-on-debian apt repository following the instructions on [1]. I cannot see any way to confirm that the key I downloaded or this 3rd party repository has not been tampered with. I had expected there would be a checksum of the downloaded key somewhere in the documentation but I have not been able to locate one. The key download curl and sha265 checksum is shown below. $ sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc $ sha256sum /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc 1500c1f56fa9e26b9b8f42452a553675796ade0807cdce11975eb98170b3a570 /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc Is there some way I should be able to confirm this is the correct key? (it is an ASCII non-human readable PGP public key) I have not been able to find an answer searching this site, the documentation and the internet (but horrifyingly I did did find plenty of suggestions to unques

In the Windows 11 version of Microsoft Paint, (11.2502.161.0), there is a Copilot button for AI image generation on the right side of the ribbon bar. Is there a way to hide or remove this button?

I am trying to record Microsoft Paint using OBS Studio 31.0.1 in Windows 11. However, when I add a Window Capture for the Paint window it shows up as a black box. If I click to focus the Paint window my mouse cursor gets captured, but it leaves a trailing effect behind that doesn't get cleared from the screen. If I use Game Capture the paint canvas will get captured but not the rest of Paint's UI. Other applications like GIMP, Google Chrome, or various games record in OBS without issue. I've also reproduced this issue on 3 different computers. How can I capture an MS Paint window with OBS Studio?

I'm moving my homelab into a datacenter. Yay! I've moved all the important stuff onto a Proxmox server running in my house, and I've shipped a second Proxmox server off to the datacenter. My plan is to migrate everything over the Internet once the server is installed. Proxmox supports live migrations so I'm hoping to do this while limiting downtime. I'd like to bridge these two networks while maintaining IP mappings, such that any VM on my home network can talk to any VM on the server in the data center. As I migrate servers, they'll be able to continue talking to each other. A server at e.g. 10.1.0.2 on one network should continue to show up as 10.1.0.2 even from the other network. I believe(?) that this makes using a VPN more complicated, or possibly not feasible at all. I think I would also need to block the gateway IP, 10.0.0.1, as that will be duplicated between the two networks. I'm vaguely familiar with VXLAN but in this case it seems overkill - I only have the

I've set up a script in WSL to do backups of my Windows 11 Pro desktop computer to an external drive and to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. However, WSL sees all files that are open in Windows as locked, and I thus have some problems getting good backups. I think a good solution to this would be to make a snapshot, shadow copy, of the volume in question C:. My ideal would be to do a non-persistent shadow copy of the volume, run the backup script in WSL, and then disregard the shadow copy (or just let it disappear by itself the next time I reboot if that's an option). My question is what's the most straightforward way to make a temporary (could be non-reboot-persistent) shadow copy of drive C: so I can take my backup from that snapshot? I'd prefer a solution in PowerShell that doesn't involve installing any new software, just using Windows built-ins. The command

Every 2 minutes or so, Windows 11 pops up a box telling me that a "USB device not recognized". I have unplugged everything except the mouse/keyboard, and rebooted the PC, but the message persists. I'm guessing it's something built into the laptop motherboard, but I have no way of knowing. Right-clicking on the device in Device Manager and disabling it does not make a difference, I still get the popups. So there's two questions: How can identify the actual device that's failing? Given that I haven't noticed anything not working, it might be something I don't care about. How can I make Windows stop

I recently purchased a replacement charger from Asus Accessories for my Asus TUF Gaming A15 because my original charger was failing, and upon receiving it, I realized they sent me the wrong power cable (the cable that connects from the “brick” of the charger to the main outlet), as the input doesn't connect to the AC port on the new charger. Here you can see that the power cable that they sent me doesn't match with the charger's ac port, so I can't use it. Is it safe to use the power cable from my original charger, or should I wait for the website where I bought it to give me the one they were supposed to send?

Sometimes when I rename a file on my Desktop, the icon position gets reset to a position in the top left corner. My PC is running Windows 11 Home, version 22H2, OS Build 22621.3155. "Auto arrange icons" is disabled. I've reproduced the issue across 3 different PCs running Windows 11. The issue doesn't affect shortcuts or folders. How do I prevent icons on my desktop from moving when I rename them?
