Windows Upgrade Error 0x8007042B
Hi
I am using the BoostSpeed11 product prior to an effort to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
I have tried before using the product but get the error message 0x8007042B-0x3000D Failure to migrate data on first boot.
I have just cleaned up the zero bytes folders, traces and duplicate files.
There is some thought that antivirus should be stopped while attempting the upgrade. I am presently using Eset internet security.
When performing the migrate data upgrade are all the files carried over? How much should be backed up?
Any hints you can provide will be gold.
In the event that I finally get the upgrade done which of your products should I install, and is it OK to leave the product I have
installed while performing the upgrade?
Eset has logged the driver checker of yours as a pup.What's the go there?
Regards
Petar

PC startup takes too long
If I have to restart, it takes 20 minutes or more to load completely. I have basically nothing in startup and can't figure out what is making this take so long. It's the same whether a restart or new start. The hard drive is only a little over half full with lots of pictures. Logically it has to be in either ASUS or windows (10). It's very frustrating and because it takes so long to load, I leave it running. For quite a few years I paid for a service that cleaned the system once a month and helped with any problem. I am no longer using it as it was expensive and even though I stressed the startup time issue, they never improved it.
You can see a lot about the machine, but it doesn't say it's an ASUS 15" laptop, purchased in September of 2014, model R510LAVS51 with core i5
I didn't know if you needed this, but I'd rather give you unnecessary information than have you come back to me.
thanks so much

Windows search very slow
Hi there,
Windows search indexer seems to be taking forever to finish.
I have restarted the process, limited the number of files to index and even disable the AV to allow indexer to index faster.
But after a while it comes back and keeps eating away between 60% to 24% of CPU
Any fix for that? runing on (win11 64 bits.

Microsoft Office Formulas not working correctly
when formulating a two page expression, the first page is not reading the second expression. I have given you the two formulas - I would hopefully like to have this sorted; if possible.
the first one should denote the year: In this case 2020
=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1))
The second shouldgive me the first day of the year:
=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1))
Question, is this even possible?

How to clear out/remove COM ports that are in use?
I've observed an issue that shows up on Wlndow 7 and Window 11... Both are of the Professional types...
I use many computer programs and they use a lot of hardware items too... For one example I have a private observatory, and my telescope movements and its Dome movements "plus more" convert a USB slots into a multible differenet COM port uses in that busy operations... Because of this need,,, USB slots are often found jumping around a lot within their ID numbers... My trouble is both of these softwares seem to like to collect COM? into a "InUse" classification which cause port numbers to be used up and remain behind unnecessarily... Some softwares don't like high Port Number too... I am trying to find a way to clear them OUT... It appears CCLEANER or Auslogic routines don't have a way to clearn these items out... I just spent a few hours tring to find a way to clean them... No luck so far! Maybe you can point me to something I missed in my license copy of Auslogics BoostSpeed 14... I have attach a image of the pathway to where this issue shows up to help you see what I see... This should be a garbage cleaning item that would be very automatic for end users... Because of this issue, COM port use get into trouble when they get left behind... I have looked a lot into the device manager within Windows whatever with a desire to find a cleaning button... But no such luck...
So, I am looking for a way to clear them off of several computers... I did not even see a manual method... Hum....
It appears when they are not used, they don't seem to fade away on their own... "Not nice!" I tried to re-boot and other efforts without success... I spent hours today trying to find a way... "I am Stuck!" I now think this is a very nasty issue not figure out by Windows for many generations of their softwares... I have had over the years operational issues in setup of my observatory, and this is the reason why... "I need a fix!" Mayber there is a button somewhere that need pushing? I will be reading my books nest...
Some software requires exact knowledge of how the port is define wtih its number and they don't like changeds, or the software comes up with an error message or merely gets locks up... Sometimes the third party software merely jump to another number and then things sort-of keeps on working... All this does is builds up surplus InUse COM port numbers...
Help! As I used my first question ever on your site... Please put a smile on my face by giving a easy answer that will solve this trouble...
Thanks
