I don't know what to tell you, but if you're still trying to run things the old way, you're just asking for trouble. I remember back when I was working on a few older builds around Chicago, and we always ran into these exact same hurdles because people refused to update their protocols. It’s the same story every single time. You can try to patch over the cracks all you want, but eventually, the whole thing is going to give way if you aren't careful about how you're managing your settings. Honestly, it feels like we're having this same conversation every other week with people who think they can bypass the basic rules of the OS and not pay the price for it later. Just my two cents. kaže:
It’s entirely possible that the battery is acting up, so you might want to try pulling it out and just running the laptop straight off the power adapter for a bit. Try holding down the power button for at least ten seconds until the whole thing shuts down completely. Once it's dead, give it a shot turning it back on and see if that fixes anything. Honestly, though, it could just as easily be a driver issue or something glitchy within Windows itself. If that turns out to be the case, your best bet would probably be to run a system restore back to a point when everything was actually working like it should.
Hey, my laptop is constantly stuck on AC power. I tried running a system restore to fix things, but it looks like system Protection is turned OFF. 😕 It says "system Protection turned OFF," but I’m having a hell of a time actually finding where to toggle it back on based on the instructions I've been following.
First, go ahead and click to get the System menu open.
Next, just head over to the left pane and click on System protection. You’re going to need admin rights for this part, so don't be surprised if a prompt pops up asking for your administrator password or a quick confirmation. Just punch that in or hit okay to move forward.
3. Under Protection Settings, just select the drive you're working on and hit Configure.
4. Pick one from this list:
If you want to get your system settings back to how they were or roll back to an older version of your files, just go ahead and hit "Restore system settings and previous versions of files."
If you want to skip everything else and just go straight to restoring older versions of your files, go ahead and check the box that says "Only restore previous versions of files."
Just hit OK, and once that window clears, go ahead and click OK one more time to wrap things up.
The thing is, I just can't seem to find it, or maybe I'm just looking in all the wrong places.😕 If you're looking at point number two regarding "system Protection," and you're trying to figure out how to actually get that feature switched on or enabled, here is what you need to do.
Anyone got some advice for me...?
