Haven't seen it but for me it is a difficult concept to accept that dark side and evil exist after the way Episode VI ended. It was such a good ending and very 'final'. Disney of course is equal to commercialization so many movies will still be made ... Saw The Force Awakens whenit came out and it was just ok, not great imo

C H+S is not unicode, as far as I know it needs a big change to be so.

Briefly (might need to retry) trying it, the default image flickers and the drag and drop image doesn't work, neither does moving it using Alt.

(A few weeks ago I posted my specs in another thread, it is the same

Looks like that was it, windows explorer hasn't crashed in days. As for why, I haven't done any further looking or reading, not yet at least.

I used Nirsoft's ShellEXView to disable some context menu entries, handlers, no change.

Following up on a seemingly, no explanation given, random post on a Microsoft support thread I disabled the following (see screenshot) and it *seems* to have fixed it, will have to use the pc more to be sure of course. Still I can't explain it because from anti-malware to sfc, chkdsk, registry checks like CCLeaner, tweaking.com repair tools, hard drive scan, etc I didn't see a single error. So how the recent apps setting is creating a problem I have no idea.



Thanks all, hoping it is truly fixed

'Interestingly' the errors occur in safe mode too, haven't seen anything like this before. Last night's deep hard disk scan showed 0 errors.
Before resorting to reset or anything like that I created a new standard user account to see how it behaves.

Thanks for replying app, no Classic Shell here.

I have done all in that microsoft page I linked above and done other suggestions in this thread, except a deep hard drive test which is currently running, was unable to last night. Strange one, might do Windows 10 reset later in the week.

Braggart. We don't need to be told what you intend getting up to at nighttime.

This idea intrigues me:
"local WordPress install acting as a notes database, using Keep and Pimlical for online and sync.

-Steven Avery (December 12, 2017, 09:16 AM)

Works very well for me. Has the necessary search function, date based notes (created and/or modified), image support, etc. Use P2 theme to take notes right on the front end, use css or plugins to change the views and make it grid calendar like, use plugins to set 'reminders' (aka a plugin that supports upcoming events).
Can take it online if I really need it, would need to have an obscure domain locked with password, easily doable. Eventhough no passwords and sensitive info are in it (KeePass for that) don't want to do that unless really see the need.

Good points IainB. Sfc again no errors a few hours ago.

In any case copy/rename didn't make a difference (had to change system32 properties, owner from TrustedInstaller to Administrator to be able to rename), but there may be others in system32 that are throwing errors not just ntdll.dll so the issue is likely bigger than just one dll.

EDIT: I am going to run a hard disk tool tonight

27 inch with most resolutions would be the limit so close to my eyes, I dare say even 24 is too big for that close.

Thanks Shades, as a first step I will try the ntdll hash and copy and see, second step find a 'good' copy and then will deal with the drive itself if all else fails.

Will report back.

Defrag and disk cleanup, no difference
CCleaner ran again, no difference
Checked file extensions and user IDs and permissions, as far as I can tell user ID and admin/non admin accounts are fine.
