After installing the last cumulative update on my Windows 10 PC today, I noticed that my Windows 10 Start search didn’t work – there was only a white screen. If you are faced with this problem, here are some suggestions to help you solve it.

Killing Cortana

To complete the Cortana process under Windows 10, proceed as follows:

• If you only see a handful of programs, click on the “More details” link.
• Locate “Cortana” under Process in the background.
• Right-click on the process and select Finish Task from the context menu.

The Cortana process is immediately reloaded by the operating system.

Re-register Cortana

The Microsoft Edge Critical ERROR message informs the victim that “there has been a dangerous attempt to access his personal login and banking information. The message indicates that data leaks can occur due to Trojans or viruses on the system, and that is why “professional” help should be obtained immediately. Unfortunately, the aggressive pop-up in the Microsoft Edge browser is simply intended to scare inexperienced computer users and make them react without thinking.

You can be confused and frustrated when you start a game and Windows suddenly restarts. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. There may be reasons for this problem. There may be a virus on your computer. Make sure you have updated your antivirus software.

Another reason is if your power supply does not provide enough juice. Make sure that your power supply is adequate for the power task of your graphics card. Assuming you have a newer GPU, you’ll probably have just under 500 watts of power to worry about. The energy consumption is indicated with the specifications of your graphics card. Depending on your other equipment, you may even need a more powerful power supply than the specified requirements. The third reason why your PC may restart by itself is overheating. If the CPU gets too hot, your PC will shut down to save money. In this case, the first thing to do is to clean up. Make sure all your fans are running and clean the dust in your PC with a fan or compressed air. read more

QuickBooks is one of the basic tools that is very popular with small and medium-sized businesses. Intuit has equipped QuickBooks with many advanced features such as customer and inventory management, payroll, etc.

QuickBooks requires Internet access to communicate and perform various operations. However, an error message often appears indicating that the Windows firewall is blocking QuickBooks. This is a common error that can occur when Windows settings interfere with QB operations.

What Causes Firewall Block in Quickbooks?

QuickBooks communicates with an enterprise file via the database file manager in a multi-user configuration. This file manager uses the Internet to communicate with the file. Intuit does not support older versions of firewall and antivirus software. If your antivirus or firewall software is not updated, it prevents QuickBooks Desktop from using Internet services and the database file manager cannot communicate with the files. Therefore, to use the multi-user QuickBooks configuration, the user must configure the firewall on the desktop. read more

Sometimes Windows search does not work. There are no error codes either. In this case, it is preferable to check the error logs in the Event Viewer. Look for an error in Windows error logs with event ID 3104.
