Default Drive for Saving Files, Applications, etc.
I run Windows 11 Pro on a Lenovo laptap. I've had a problem over the past couple of years with file saves regularly seeming to default to OneDrive, iCloud, or Google Drive, which stores this stuff in the cloud. I want to do away with ALL of this cloud-based crap and simply save things to my C: drive, an SSD that I backup weekly. My question: How can set up my laptop so that anything I want to save will automatically default to my C: drive? Thanks.
Failed Windows 11 Update 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598)
Every day my computer tries to install the 2025-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598) and every day after trying to install for an hour or more, it reverses and uninstalls the update. The automatic installs which keep failing are preventing me from using my computer whi;e the install and unistall happens.

PC pauses for 5-10 seconds during work
Hi there,
I know that subject was less than helpful so let me explain. I have a windows 10 pro (22H2) self built PC. It has the following:
Device name DESKTOP-1RRVL9S
Processor AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor 4.20 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
While I'm working the PC will just pause for about 5-10 seconds. The pause happens at random times and doesn't seem to be linked to any one applicaiton, like I could be working in Work one time and watching YT another. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. Once it unpauses, the machine catches up with everything that's been typed or clicked. I can't seem to find a reason for it. Memory, Proc and disk are all find. Even after the pause there's no indication of a CPU, memory or disk issue, like a usage spike.

128GB Intel virtual drive listed in settings
I didn't know what catagory this fell under but when I went to my "about" heading in my settings it said that I had a 128g Virtual hard drive on my system from Intel, was wondering how it got there seeing that I don't even know what Virtual drive is let alone how to install one on my computer. Any info you have would be appreciated, thank you, James.

Location setting managed by your organization
My location setting has been disabled (turned off) and is greyed out so I cannot turn it back on. I now see a message indicating that my computer is "Managed by your organization" but this is my personal computer. I actually have 2 computers and this message appears on both computers along with the same restrictions to my settings.
Can you advise how I can regain the administrative control of my PCs and eliminate "Managed by your organization"?
folder will not stay deleted from my home screen
After running features in boost speed, I have a flie folder that will not stay deleted from my home screen.
The screen also loses the background image from time to time.
I do nave an Nvidia GEFORCE RTX video card, but that was never an issue prior to running the product. Most of the time video runs off of the motherboard.
Can you help me to correct these issues?
How to convert a 32-bit application to 64-bit?
Looking at the report from Revo Uninstaller of applications on my windows laptop running Windows 10, I can see most of them are the 64-bit version but quite a few of them (including Auslogics Boostspeed 13, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5, Kaspersky, Dropbox to name a few) are showing as the 32-bit version.
I believe if these were the 64-bit version they will run better and faster.
Is there anything I can do to convert them from 32-bit to 64-bit?
Please advise.
Thanks!
Chris
Windows asks me twice to give permission to use Edge
I use Windows 11 and Edge is my default browser. I love Microsoft Edge but can't understand why every time I start my computer, Windows asks me twice to give permission for it to use Edge, and then later when I go to use Edge it asks me again.
Given that Microsoft has created both the software that runs my computer and also Microsoft Edge, I speculate it should be possible to avoid such an unecessary procedure. Will you please tell me how to do this? Thanks.
