    How to reverse: cmd attrib -s -h -r /s /d *.*. and hit Ent

    I make a couple of clones with Clonezilla once per month . . . The fix is to just replace the C: drive with one of those. It was only about 20 days old, there were no significant changes.

    DISM, "The component store corruption repaired"

    From reading around, and generalizing from seemingly related posts . . . It looks like this only affects users who try to reclaim disk space after the update, by either running Disk Cleanup w/System Files (including Windows Update), or by running DISM /online /cleanup-image...

    DISM, "The component store corruption repaired"

    Sounds good, thanks . . . I was thinking: Could this error message be due to me: 1.) working from a clone of the original OS install, and 2.) how I think that the OS might keep track of the Win 8.1 serial number in the BIOS, and there is some discrepancy between that, and the drive? More...

    DISM, "The component store corruption repaired"

    Check out these two articles below . . . It looks like DISM supports SFC . . . and, I have no errors noticed, after running SFC. I'm thinking that as long as SFC shows as 100%, I really don't need to even ever run DISM. . . . and, maybe I don't need to care that DISM always has this sentence ...

    Use Distributed Computing Software to speed up a program?

    Didn't know that, thanks. It seems to me like you should be able to build a motherboard with sockets that can use, something like, 4 chips, from any computer - present day chips, or from computers that are now outdated - and have it end up being faster than if you were using just one present...
