I have some content on my pc that was copied from one disk to anothewr. I wqould like to automatically clean up this mess and delete all duplicate files on one of the drives. As long as the files are identical, this does not need to be supervised and could be an automatewd process. How do I set this up in your software?

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.
How do I fix this?
I have an HP Laptop 15-dy2xxx with a1TB drive and 466GB free on it.

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.
