00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,000
Windows is the world's most popular desktop operating system but anyone

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,000
who's used it for any length of time knows that it doesn't mean it's perfect

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,759
i mean mcdonald's serves over half a billion big macs every year but is far

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,640
from the optimal thing to shove down your gullet so today we're going to talk about a few

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,520
of the most common and frustrating Windows errors and what you can do about

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:27,039
them other than trying that automatic Windows troubleshooter of course let's start

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,640
with the access is denied error you'll sometimes see when you're trying to open

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,559
a folder which probably seems a bit silly if it's on your computer this

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,160
often happens when you don't have the right owner setup whether it's because

10
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,640
you're trying to access a system folder containing critical Windows files or

11
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,480
whatever other reason to fix this issue first make sure your user account has

12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,480
administrator rights which it should if you're just working on your own personal

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,039
computer and right click the folder you're trying to open hit properties

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:59,199
then security then advanced click change beside the owner field and a new box

15
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,359
will pop up punch in your username and click check names to ensure that you

16
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:07,840
typed in incorrectly if you did you'll see Windows tack the name of your pc

17
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,280
onto the username click ok then click the option at the bottom of the previous

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,280
window that refers to child object permission entries this will make sure

19
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,880
you also have access to any subfolders click ok on all Windows and you should

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,560
be good to go and if you're still having problems go back to the security tab we

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,040
previously mentioned and make sure that your username has full control over the

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,720
folder just click your username select edit and adjust the settings accordingly

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,799
you may not want to do this on a critical system folder though next let's

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,320
have a look at a common Windows update error that's been around for nearly 20

25
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,479
years sometimes when you try to use Windows updates you'll get this error

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,320
code along with this message if you're using a recent version of Windows 10.

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,000
there were some problems but we'll try again later what does that mean

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,360
thankfully so many people have gotten this message that plenty of fixes for it

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,000
are floating around if you go to your Windows directory you'll see a folder

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,040
called software distribution rename it to something else

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:07,200
softwaredistribution.old is a good choice so you can find it later if needed and restart your machine then

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,640
just try running Windows update again if that error message keeps popping up

33
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,160
check out the two register entries we put in the video description below and

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,760
make sure they match what's in your registry exactly all right let's wrap

35
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,239
things up with something that's sure to be extremely frustrating if it ever

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,520
happens to you a wi-fi network you want to connect to isn't in the list that

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,840
Windows provides assuming that everything is okay with your hardware

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,599
and the wi-fi network itself this can be caused if you're using a vpn that isn't

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,840
playing nicely with Windows so your first step should be to disable your vpn

40
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,280
temporarily if that fixes the issue ensure that you're running the latest

41
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,440
version of the vpn software as older versions can use a driver that doesn't

42
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,560
work correctly with newer versions of Windows it also won't hurt to ensure

43
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,519
that the driver for your wireless adapter is also up to date but you still

44
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,519
can't see the network you need fire up a command prompt making sure to run it as

45
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:01,040
an administrator and type in this command

46
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,200
if that doesn't work type in these two commands pressing enter after each one

47
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,720
and we've included them in the description so you can copy and paste them easily so what are your most
