  1. Loss of files after Windows 11 upgrade, but programs continue to run


    Hi,I want to report a critical problem I have experienced with my PC after a Windows 11 upgrade. My files have completely disappeared, although programs are still running normally.About a month ago, after a system upgrade, I noticed that everything was as if it was a clean install of Windows 11, with default settings. At the time, I didn't know I was inside a temporary profile. Checking in the C:User folder, I found all my personal files, so I moved them back to their original locations Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.. After that, everything seemed to work fine for a while.However, after

    Windows Update to 1H21 causes loss of right-click function  

    First step isn't right click. The download is a zip file. The program is portable.

    If you can't even run that, and given other issues, and the length of this thread, and if an in-place upgrade repair install won't help, suggest you're looking at a clean install.

    Upgrade to Windows 11

    I want to upgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have run the compatibility software and got the message that says my Windows 10 software is not compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. I'm looking for a point & click application that will make my Windows 10 OS upgradable to Windows 11 or a file that will provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 11. I expect a list of files/applications that will not run in Windows 11 because my PC is not capable of running the new applications w/o hardware upgrades.

    THQ files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, will continue to operate

    Struggling video game publisher THQ announced it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but it will continue to operate as it moves forward with an effort to sell its studios and assets.

    The publisher of franchises including Saints Row, Red Faction, and Company of Heroes has entered into a "stalking horse bidder" agreement with Clearlake Capital Group. THQ will sell seemingly all its assets and studios, including Austin's Vigil Games, Champaign's Volition, Vancouver's Relic Entertainment, and THQ Montreal Studios.

    Despite the announcement, THQ assured stockholders that all its studios remain open, without any planned layoffs. Development on current projects such as Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes 2 will continue. "The sale and filing are necessary next steps to complete THQ's transformation and position the company for the future, as we remain confident in our existing pipeline of games, the strength of our studios and THQ’s deep bench of talent," Chairman and CEO Brian Farrell said in a statement.
