В мире, где Windows 10 и Windows 11 стали надёжными спутниками в работе и
развлечениях, есть одно «но» — встроенная реклама, которая порой
действует на нервы. Эти операционные системы от Microsoft, несмотря на свои преимущества, иногда могут
превратиться в рекламные платформы, подсовывая назойливые подсказки и
всплывающие окна.

Можно, конечно,
прибегнуть к сторонним инструментам для отключения этих рекламных объявлений
одним кликом, но это не всегда лучшее решение. Такие «инструменты
конфиденциальности» часто зависят от других настроек Windows, и использование этих универсальных
средств, многие из которых вмешиваются в реестр, может привести к сложностям в
понимании того, почему другие настройки ведут себя неожиданно.

Лучше всего взять
дело в свои руки и отключить рекламу самостоятельно. Это даст полный контроль
над процессом и упростит дальнейшее устранение возможных проблем. Большинство
этих рекламных объявлений можно легко отключить через меню настроек Windows.

Однако стоит
помнить, что Microsoft имеет
тенденцию возвращать рекламу в новые места и восстанавливать
«рекомендуемые» приложения с обновлениями Windows. Это означает, что время от времени может
потребоваться проверить настройки, чтобы убедиться, что всё остаётся
по-прежнему. Хотя предложенные шаги могут не убрать всю рекламу, они должны
заметно уменьшить её количество.

С течением
времени Стартовое меню в операционных системах Windows претерпело значительные изменения. Несомненно,
некоторые из нововведений были полезными, но среди них также появились и
недостатки, такие как «предложения» от Microsoft, которые иногда могут быть навязчивыми и
направлены на продвижение продуктов компании. Особенно заметно это становится,
если вы предпочитаете браузеры, отличные от Edge, и получаете рекомендации перейти на продукты Microsoft.

Для пользователей
Windows 10 процесс отключения
этих рекламных предложений довольно прост. Вам нужно лишь зайти в раздел
«Настройки», затем перейти в категорию «Персонализация» и
выбрать вкладку «Старт». Здесь вы найдете опцию «Иногда
показывать предложения в меню «Пуск»», которую можно отключить, сняв
галочку.

В случае Windows 11, этот процесс несколько отличается.
Настройка называется «Показывать рекомендации для советов, ярлыков, новых
приложений и прочего» и находится в аналогичном разделе.

Если вас
беспокоят живые плитки в Стартовом меню Windows 10, особенно те, которые установлены по умолчанию
и не приносят пользы, вы можете легко их отключить. Просто кликните правой
кнопкой мыши по ненужной плитке, выберите «Дополнительно» и затем
«Отключить живую плитку». Таким образом, вы уберете анимацию и
сделаете ее обычным ярлыком. Если же вы хотите полностью удалить приложение, то
просто выберите «Удалить» после щелчка правой кнопкой мыши по плитке.

Экран блокировки
в Windows, к сожалению, тоже
не лишён недостатков. Если на экране блокировки установлено отображение
изображения или слайд-шоу, Microsoft часто добавляет на экран текстовые сообщения. Иногда это «интересные
факты» о местности, изображённой на фотографии, а иногда —
«советы» по использованию устройства, например, предложения перейти
на Edge или использовать
учётную запись Microsoft
вместо локальной учётной записи.

Для того чтобы
экран блокировки показывал только выбранное вами изображение без дополнительных
предложений и советов, необходимо выполнить несколько простых шагов. Сначала
зайдите в раздел «Настройки», затем выберите
«Персонализация» и перейдите к «Экрану блокировки». Здесь
вам нужно будет изменить настройку фона с «Windows» на опцию «Изображение» или
«Слайд-шоу».

После этого
отключите функцию «Получать интересные факты, советы и другие сведения от Windows и Cortana на экране блокировки», чтобы убрать лишние
элементы и сосредоточиться исключительно на вашем фото.

Иногда в Windows могут появляться всплывающие уведомления,
убеждающие перейти на Edge
или присоединиться к программе Microsoft Rewards. Чтобы
избавиться от них в Windows
10 для этого перейдите в раздел «Настройки», выберите
«Система» и затем «Уведомления и действия». Здесь найдите и
отключите опцию «Получать советы, подсказки и предложения при
использовании Windows».

Кроме того, вы можете отказаться от функции
«Показать приветствие Windows», которая запускает обучающие туры после обновлений, а также от
«Предложений по завершению настройки устройства».

В Windows 11 процесс управления этими уведомлениями
слегка отличается. Здесь вам нужно открыть «Настройки», перейти в
«Систему» и затем в «Уведомления». Прокрутите вниз до
раздела «Дополнительные настройки» и отключите там «Показать
приветствие Windows»,
«Предложения по максимальному использованию Windows» и «Получение советов и
предложений».

Стоит помнить,
что некоторые «рекламные» уведомления, которые появляются на экране,
могут не иметь отношения к Microsoft. Они могут быть связаны с предустановленным программным обеспечением
(блотваром), установленным производителем вашего компьютера. Если вы
сталкиваетесь с навязчивыми уведомлениями, откройте «Настройки» >
«Система» > «Уведомления» и прокрутите вниз до списка
приложений. Выясните, приходят ли сообщения от каких-либо из этих приложений. Есть
ли среди них приложения, которые вы не узнаёте?

В Windows 11 сложно определить, для чего
предназначено каждое приложение, поэтому может потребоваться поиск в интернете
для получения дополнительной информации. Например, работая на ноутбуке Dell, можно обнаружить, что такие приложения,
как SupportAssist, My Dell и Partner Promo, добавлены производителем. В случае с Lenovo ThinkPad есть Lenovo Vantage. Эти программы можно отключить (и
удалить).

Microsoft начал
использовать приложение «Настройки» в качестве рекламного пространства для
предложения своих приложений пользователям.

Если вы не хотите видеть эти рекомендации,
просто перейдите в «Настройки» > «Конфиденциальность»
> «Общие» и отключите опцию «Показывать рекомендуемое
содержимое в приложении «Параметры»».

Это позволит
избежать ненужных предложений и сосредоточиться на настройках, которые
действительно важны для вас.

Кажется, что ни
один уголок Windows не
остался без рекламы, и даже Проводник не стал исключением. В своих попытках
заинтересовать пользователей подпиской на OneDrive и Office 365, Microsoft начала
продвигать эти сервисы прямо во время просмотра файлов на жёстком диске. Но от
этих рекламных уведомлений можно избавиться.

В Проводнике Windows 10 щелкните «Вид» >
«Параметры» > «Изменить параметры папок и поиска». В Windows 11 откройте меню с тремя точками и
щелкните «Параметры». Затем в появившемся окне перейдите на вкладку
«Вид». Прокрутите вниз до опции «Показывать уведомления
синхронизируемого провайдера» и снимите эту галочку. Это должно
предотвратить появление рекламных уведомлений в Проводнике в будущем.

Windows
использует рекламный идентификатор (Advertising ID), чтобы отслеживать
интересы пользователя и показывать более релевантную рекламу в приложениях. В
процессе отключения встроенной рекламы в Windows также может быть полезно отключить эту функцию.

В Windows 10 перейдите в «Настройки» >
«Конфиденциальность» > «Общие» и отключите опцию
«Позволять приложениям использовать мой рекламный идентификатор»,
если вы предпочитаете видеть ненаправленную рекламу.

В Windows 11 эта опция называется «Позволить
приложениям показывать мне персонализированную рекламу с использованием моего
рекламного идентификатора». Отключение этой функции поможет снизить
уровень персонализации рекламы, которую вы видите в приложениях.

Итак, мы
рассмотрели ряд способов, как избавиться от встроенной рекламы в Windows 10 и Windows 11. Отключение рекламы в Стартовом меню, на экране
блокировки, в уведомлениях, Проводнике, а также отказ от персонализированной
рекламы — все эти меры помогут сделать вашу работу на компьютере более
комфортной и менее раздражающей.

Помните, что хотя
некоторые из этих настроек могут казаться малозначительными, в совокупности они
могут значительно улучшить ваш пользовательский опыт. Ведь в конце концов,
каждый из нас хочет, чтобы его компьютер служил надежным инструментом для
работы и развлечений, а не был источником нежелательной рекламы и беспокойства.

Сделайте эти
простые настройки, и вы заметите, как ваша повседневная работа на компьютере
станет более приятной и продуктивной.

Windows предоставляет следующие параметры конфиденциальности, чтобы предоставить вам контроль над конфиденциальностью.

Примечание: Страница Общие параметры конфиденциальности заменяется страницей Рекомендации & предлагает параметры конфиденциальности в более поздних версиях Windows 11. Если вы еще не установили последнюю клиентский компонент Центра обновления Windows, на устройстве по-прежнему может отображаться страница Общие. Если на вашем устройстве отображается страница Рекомендации & предложений, см. раздел Параметры конфиденциальности для рекомендаций & предложений в Windows 11.

Для каждого пользователя на устройстве система Windows создает уникальный идентификатор рекламы, который используется разработчиками приложений и рекламными сетями для их собственных целей, в том числе, чтобы предлагать вам актуальную рекламу в приложениях. Если идентификатор получателя рекламы включен, приложения могут получить доступ к нему и использовать его таким же образом, как и некоторые веб-сайты применяют уникальный идентификатор, который хранится в файле cookie. Таким образом, разработчики приложений (и рекламные сети, с которыми они работают) могут привязать собираемые персональные данные к идентификатору рекламы для отображения более актуальной рекламы и обеспечения персонализированного взаимодействия с приложениями.

Параметр идентификатора рекламы применяется к приложениям для Windows с помощью идентификатора рекламы Windows. Параметр идентификатора рекламы не применяется к другим способам предоставления целевой рекламы, предлагаемым Майкрософт или третьими лицами, например, cookie-файлам, используемым для предоставления целевой рекламы на веб-сайтах. Продукты сторонних производителей, установленные в среде Windows, могут также предоставлять другие виды целевой рекламы, которая работает в соответствии с собственными политиками конфиденциальности. Корпорация Майкрософт предоставляет другие виды целевой рекламы в некоторых продуктах Майкрософт напрямую и при взаимодействии со сторонними поставщиками рекламы.

In case you don’t know, Microsoft hooks up every machine that is running Windows 10 with an Advertising ID which helps them in providing Windows 10 users with relevant ads. These ads are delivered to users in the Action Center, Start Menu as well as the ads inside the UWP Applications.

What makes these advertisements relevant is that they keep track of your browsing trends, likes and dislikes, with the help of the Advertising ID. However, if you are not fond of advertisements and you do not want this feature of Microsoft to track your usage, worry not for you actually have the option to disable targeted ads on your Windows 10 computer by turning off the Advertising ID. And you can do that during Windows 10 Setup or using the Group Policy Editor. For more details, refer to the instructions provided below for each one of the methods.

Option 1 – Turn off Advertising ID during Windows 10 setup

If you are about to install Windows 10, then during the installation process, your computer boots into the Install and Configure Windows 10 screen with Cortana that assist you during the setup. Once you reach the last page which is “Choose privacy settings for your device”, you will see the Advertising ID of your computer. Under the Advertising ID, you have to disable or toggle off the “Apps can use advertising ID to provide more personalized advertising in accordance with the privacy policy of the app provider” option. After you disable it, click on the Accept button to proceed with the installation. After that, the copy of your Windows 10 you are using will have the Advertising ID disabled by default.

Option 2 – Turn off Advertising ID via Group Policy Editor

  • First, tap the Win + R keys to launch the Run utility.
  • Then, type “gpedit.msc” in the field and click OK or tap Enter to open the Group Policy Editor.
  • Next, navigate to this group policy setting: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles
  • Now double click on the “Turn off the advertising ID” option and set the radio button to Enabled. Once you do, you will see the following description on your screen:

“This policy setting turns off the advertising ID, preventing apps from using the ID for experiences across apps. If you enable this policy setting, the advertising ID is turned off. Apps can’t use the ID for experiences across apps. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can control whether apps can use the advertising ID for experiences across apps.”

Note that setting the radio button to Enabled or Not Configured will turn off the data collection of the Advertising ID.

  • Finally, exit the Group Policy Editor and then restart your computer to apply the changes made successfully.

Many users would probably agree that the Windows Media Player, in most cases, is a lot better than the Groove. Although it is understandable why the Groove Music app was created, it may be time for Microsoft to bring its focus back on Windows Media Player. Even more, so that some users are experiencing an issue where they were not able to play their playlist in the Windows Media Player on their Windows 10 PCs.

One particular user claimed that when he removed his music from the C drive and transferred them to the C drive for some reason he didn’t state. Right after he did that, any attempts to play songs in the Windows Media Player just don’t seem to work. Transferring music to a different location shouldn’t cause any issue but for some unknown reason, it did. According to security experts, the reason why the Windows Media Player didn’t play the playlist is that it still believes that the songs are still located in the C drive when they’re really not. So the question here is, how can you get the Windows Media Player to recognize the exact and correct location of the songs? Worry not, for this post will show you how exactly you can do that.

Carefully follow each one of the instructions given below to fix the Windows Media Player issue.

Option 1 – Try running the WMP Troubleshooters

In case there are any issues with the Windows Media Player, you can always count on the WMP Troubleshooters to fix the problem for you. These built-in troubleshooters, namely, Windows Media Player Library and Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshooters can help you fix the problem, so run them both and see if you can now play those songs or not.

Option 2 – Try rebuilding the Windows Media Player Database

If the first option didn’t work for you, you might have to rebuild the Windows Media Player database. You can do this by following the steps below.

  • Tap the Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run dialog box.
  • After that, copy and paste this command in the field: %userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMedia Player
  • Once you’ve pasted the command, hit Enter then you will see a new File Explorer which is the folder for the Media Player. You will have to delete every item in this folder, except for the folders. Meaning to say, you must only delete the individual contents inside but not the folders.
  • Now launch the Windows Media Player again and watch as it rebuilds the music library automatically.

What is DISM Error 1726? Every time you encounter some issues in your Windows 10 computer, especially when it comes to corrupted system files, you can always use the SFC scan and if the SFC can isn’t able to resolve the issue, there is also the DISM tool you can use which usually resolve the vast majority of system file corruption sufficiently. However, there are times when even the DISM commands experience issues as well. Such is the case with the 1726 error: “The remote procedure call failed”.

Some users reported that this DISM problem happens right before the process is supposed to end. According to experts, this error in DISM occurs due to any of the following reasons:

  1. A third-party program might have interrupted the DISM operation and is the one that triggered the 1726 error: “The remote procedure call failed”.
  2. The error could also pop up when there is a pending corruption repair. This usually happens when you tried to run a DISM command previously that was terminated manually or was halted because of some malfunction.
  3. Lastly, the error could also occur because the process that’s responsible for the procedure is disabled or was prevented from running.

Whichever the case is, here are some suggestions that might help you in resolving the 1726 error: “The remote procedure call failed”.

Option 1 – Try updating your PC to the latest Windows build available

Since the problem is specific to certain builds in Windows 10, you need to make sure that your computer is updated before you try other troubleshooting steps. Thus, follow the steps below to update your Windows 10 PC.

  • Tap the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • Then type “ms-settings:windowsupdate” in the field and hit Enter to open the Windows Update screen.
  • After that, click on Check for Updates and then follow the next on-screen instructions to apply the latest Windows update.
  • Once the update has been installed, restart your PC and run the DISM command again and see if the problem is fixed.

Option 2 – Try to change the Startup Type of the Remote Procedure Call service

As stated early on, the error might also be caused by a disabled Remote Procedure Call service or RPC or that it might be prevented from running for some reason.

In case you don’t know, RPC is the service control manager for both COM and DCOM servers and it’s responsible for performing object variation requests, exporting resolution as well as distributing collection for the servers. And so if the server is disabled, all programs that are using COM and DCOM including the DISM commands, will not function correctly. Thus, you need to make sure that the RPC service is scheduled to enable itself on every system boot. To do so, here’s what you have to do:

  • Tap the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type “services.msc” in the field and hit Enter to open Services.
  • From there, scroll down until you see the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service and then right-click on it and select Properties.
  • Then go to the General tab and change the drop-down menu next to Startup type to Automatic.
  • After that, click the Apply button and then OK to apply the changes made.
  • Restart your PC and run the DISM command once again at the next startup.

Option 3 – Try to modify the RpcSs registry key value

If the option didn’t work, you can also try enabling the RPC service using the Registry Editor. Before you proceed, make sure to create a System Restore point first and then follow the steps below afterward.

  • Tap the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type “Regedit” in the field and hit Enter or click OK to open the Registry Editor. And if a User Account Control prompt appears, just click on Yes.
  • After that, navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services RpcSs
  • After selecting the aforementioned registry key, go to the right pane and double-click on the Start value.
  • Next, change the Value data of start to 2 and click OK to save the changes made.
  • Exit the Registry Editor and restart your PC and check if the 1726 error in DISM has already been resolved or not.

Option 4 – Try to disable the Windows Search service temporarily

Some users also recommended disabling the Windows Search service for the meantime as it could be the one that’s interrupting the DISM process.

  • Tap the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • In the field, type “services.msc” to open the Services window again and hit Enter to open it.
  • Next, scroll down over the services list and double-click on the Windows Update service.
  • Afterward, go to Windows Search properties and click the General tab and then click the Stop button to stop the service from running temporarily.
  • Now try running the DISM commands again and see if the problem’s fixed or not.
  • Restart the Windows Search service and then restart your PC as well.

What is Mapi32.dll Outlook Error?

Mapi32.dll is a Windows Messaging Application Programming Interface that enables Windows to perform various email functions and launch messaging programs like Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office. The inability of the interface to execute email functions properly results in the Mapi32.dll Outlook Error.

This error occurs mostly when you are attempting to upgrade the operating system to a new version.

Solution

Error Causes

The common causes of the Mapi32.dll Outlook Error during the OS upgrade are:

  • Damaged or Corrupt Outlook user profile
  • The software is overwritten by some other program
  • Outlook PST file corruption

The Mapi32.dll Outlook Error message is displayed in either of the following forms:

  • Mapi32.dll is missing
  • Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Mapi32.dll is corrupt or the wrong version.
  • Mapi32.dll was not found
  • Mail is not installed

Further Information and Manual Repair

So, what if you experience this issue and how do you fix it? Well, first there is no need to panic as Microsoft has recognized this issue and provided adequate solutions to fix this problem in no time.

However, to ensure the Mapi32.dll Outlook error is a quick fix, you must first understand the cause of the issue and the message displayed on the screen.

  1. Let’s say the errors occur because your Outlook profile is corrupt. In this scenario, the best solution is to create a new Outlook profile. Regardless of whether you have Windows Vista or XP, to create your new Outlook profile, first, you will have to click on the Control Panel, then User Account, and then Mail. Once you click on the Mail tab, the mail set up dialog box will open. In this dialog box there will be a ‘Show Profiles’ tab, click and then click the Add tab that appears next. Now type the name for your new Outlook profile and then click ‘OK’. After that, add an email account to go with the profile.
  2. If Mapi32.dll is missing or corrupt, you will have to run ‘Fixmapi.exe’ to resolve the problem. It is located in the System32 folder inside the Windows directory in Windows Explorer.
  • Therefore, first start Windows Explorer and then locate the following folder on your computer: C: /Program Files/Common Files/System/Msmapi1033
  • Now find Fixmapi.exe and double click it
  • After that locate the Mapi32.dll file and rename it to MSmapi32.old and press enter.
  • Restart your computer when finished.

A word of advice for computer users is to scan for viruses with an antivirus program or a registry cleaner regularly to prevent the Mapi32.dll Outlook error from occurring in the first place. Viruses often latch onto .dll files and corrupt them.

It’s always best to have a forward-looking approach.

When we get ourselves a new USB stick, new hard drive, or any storage device not including optical drives they are usually preformatted and ready to be used out of the box. However, reformating them has several benefits and while we are reformatting we can choose in which file system format we want the memory to be formatted.

In this article, we will compare and explore 3 typical and standard format options you can get while formating a new media in Windows 10.

FAT32

The oldest one on the list, coming all the way from DOS days. Great for devices that need to be plugged in different operating systems and for USB flash drives. Its advantages are compatibility with all major operating systems and little memory usage comparing to other ones. However, the file system is limited to file sizes of the maximum capacity of 4GB and partitions can not exceed more than 32GB.

NTFS

First introduced in Windows NT this file system offered slower performance than FAT32 and somewhat limited usability but the main advantages were more stability and fewer errors. Its main advantages are support for files larger than 4GB and partitions larger than 32GB along with the ability for on the file encryption, main disadvantage would be limited operating system usage, NTFS can not be used on systems that work on FAT32 like MS-DOS for example or older versions of Windows. The best usage for this file system is in internal hard disk drives and system drives.

exFAT

New kid on the block, well at least from the perspective of the previous 2. exFAT offers unlimited file sizes and unlimited partition sizes but at a price that is even more limiting than NTFS. Some Linux distributions will require a driver to be installed in order to see the exFAT partition. The best use is in storage, in external hard drives.

That’s it, 3 major file systems, we hope that you have managed to learn something new today, and remember to drop by tomorrow for more articles about advice, tips, tricks, and troubleshooting.

By formatting what I am talking about are parameters like font size, line breaks, hyperlinks, font styles, etc. and sometimes you do not want any of these in your file, you would like and prefer to have just plain text so you can format it as you wish.

In order to paste just plain text instead of using the CTRL + V keyboard shortcut, press CTRL + SHIFT + V instead. This shortcut will paste the only text into your file.

Shortcut and Microsoft Word

Leave it to Microsoft to make its shortcut not work in their application. In Microsoft Word, you can only use the standard CTRL + V shortcut, if you press CTRL + SHIFT + V nothing will happen. So in order to paste the only text into a word document, choose to paste special > text only

Other applications

I have tried CTRL + SHIFT + V in various applications like photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, visual studio code, slack, discord, WordPress installations, etc and only one that has not worked for me was Word and office in general so you are safe to use this trick and have desired results.

There are instances when you might encounter an error that says, “Something went wrong, We couldn’t start your program” when you open any Office program. This could be due to an issue with the Office file and any Office app you open throws the same error message. This applies to Office 2019/2016, Office 365 Home, Office for Business as well as Business editions. In this post, you will be guided in what you can do to resolve this error.

There are several potential fixes for this error, you might only have to restart your computer or you may have to repair Office from Apps and Features or you could also uninstall and install it back again. For more details, follow each one of the provided options below.

Option 1 – Restart your computer

You might be unable to launch any Office app due to some background process that got stuck or there might be some glitch in the system. Thus, the first thing you can do to resolve the error is simply restarting your computer. Once you’ve restarted your computer, open the Office app again or you could also try to sign in back with your Microsoft account that’s connected to Office. If you’re not quite sure which account you were using, you can follow these steps:

  • Open any Office app.
  • Then click on File and look for your name located in the top-right portion.
  • Now click on it. This will display the email or Microsoft account that’s related to Office.

Option 2 – Try repairing Office from Apps and Features

Since Windows 10 offers some repair features that could replace some of the core files with the original files, you can take advantage of such a feature to fix the “Something went wrong, We couldn’t start your program” error when opening any Office app.

  • Open Windows settings and click the Apps and Features option.
  • Next, scroll down until you see the Microsoft Office installation option. Select it and click on Modify.
  • This will open a window and from there, select Quick Repair or Online Repair and click on the Repair button.

Note: When you choose to repair, you might be given two options which depend on how Microsoft Office was installed. For instance, it was installed via Web Installer or Offline Installer (MSI-based). In Web Installer, select Online Repair > Repair when you’re prompted on how you would like to repair Office. While in MSI-based, you have to select Repair under “Change your installation” and then click on Continue. The repair process makes sure that the app data remains untouched.

Option 3 – Try to uninstall and reinstall Office

If neither of the two given options above worked, then you might want to uninstall Office and reinstall it. All you have to do is download the Microsoft Office Uninstall tool from the official site of Microsoft and run it. This will remove any incomplete Office installation as well as unwanted files. It will also get rid of all the Office apps and settings on your computer.

If you open any program in your Windows 10 PC such as Outlook and suddenly get an error message saying, “Failed to register a VB Script dll. Reinstall or run Regsvr32.exe Vbscript.dll to self-register”, read on, as this post will guide you on what you can do to fix it. The obvious solution to this problem is by re-registering the “vbscript.dll” file on your computer.

Refer to the instructions given below to re-register the VB Script DLL file and to fix the error.

  • Step 1: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator from the WinX Menu.
  • Step 2: After opening Command Prompt, type in the following command and tap Enter on your keyboard.

  • Step 3: Once you enter the command, it will re-register the VB Script DLL file using the Windows OS tool called Regsvr32 or regsvr32.exe. This tool is a command-line utility used to register and unregister OLE controls such as DLL and ActiveX (OCX) controls in the Windows environment. After the execution of the command, you should see the following pop-up on your screen which means the re-registering of the concerned DLL file has succeeded.

On the other hand, if re-registering the DLL file didn’t work, then you can try logging in using an administrator account and then register the DLL file again or you could also use the System File Checker to figure out what the problem really is and automatically fix it.

System File Checker or SFC is a built-in command utility that helps in restoring corrupted files as well as missing files. It replaces bad and corrupted system files with good system files. To run the SFC command, follow the steps given below.

  • Tap Win + R to launch Run.
  • Type in cmd in the field and tap Enter.
  • After opening Command Prompt, type in sfc /scannow

The command will start a system scan which will take a few whiles before it finishes. Once it’s done, you could get the following results:

  1. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
  2. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
  3. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

What is Error Code 29?

Code 29 is a Device Manager error commonly seen whenever a hardware device driver reports a problem. This error code indicates that the resources needed for operation are not available.

The computer hardware basically requires drivers to interface with the operating system. Drivers comprise multiple components and are supplemented with other resources provided by the BIOS (a physical chip on the motherboard).

The BIOS contains a set of basic input and output instructions for the computer system to boot, load drivers, and more.

Its firmware provides resources that drivers require to interface with other essential components. However, when the firmware fails to provide the requested resources, the device drivers stop functioning; this results in error codes like code 29.

Error code 29 is usually displayed in the following format:

“This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources”
Code 29

Solution

Error Causes

Error code 29 may be triggered due to several reasons. These include:

  • Outdated drivers
  • Corrupted drivers
  • BIOS misconfiguration
  • The device firmware is corrupt
  • Previous attempt to update the driver failed

To avoid inconvenience and to ensure your computer keeps working at its optimal pace, it is recommended that you repair error code 29 on your PC immediately. Delay may limit you from using certain hardware attached to your system properly.

To do this, simply:

  1. Enter the BIOS setup utility  by restarting your PC
  2. Watch for an entering setup message
  3. Enter the BIOS access key. Usually, the key is F2 or F12. However, the key may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. You may want to check the manufacturer’s website first to find out the BIOS access key before you restart your PC.
  4. ‘Reset BIOS settings’ to their default factory levels.

Method 3 — Enable the Device in the BIOS

Error code 29 may appear if a device is disabled. In such a scenario, simply follow the same steps as discussed in method 2, and in the advanced BIOS settings, look for disabled devices.

Enable the devices in the BIOS so that you use them easily.

This will hopefully resolve the issue. If it doesn’t, then this means the error code 29 is caused by either corrupted or outdated drivers. Try method 4 to resolve this issue successfully.

Method 4 — Identify the Problematic Device Drivers and Update them

On Windows 10, every user account gets a unique identifier, known as the «advertising ID,» that tracks and collects their activities, which then advertisers and developers can use to show targeted ads in apps.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because the advertising ID works like cookies on the internet to «personalize» your experience and show you tailored ads, but the token generated for Windows 10 users only applies for apps they obtain from the Microsoft Store.

If you don’t want to get ads on apps based on your activities, Windows 10 offers an option to disable this behavior. It won’t block ads in apps, but future advertisements you see won’t be personalized.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to disable the advertising ID on your device to stop getting targeted ads on apps from the Microsoft Store.

Windows 10 is able to show ads in certain Store apps. The ads platform is tightly integrated with the OS. For every user,  Microsoft assigns a unique identificator to track your activity in the Microsoft Store and on UWP apps to target you with relevant ads.

If you are not happy with targeted ads, you can turn off a special option in Settings, so they will become less relevant. This won’t change the number of ads you see, but you will be less tracked.

There are a number of methods you can use to disable this option. Let’s see how it can be done.

To disable Advertising ID for Relevant Ads in Windows 10, do the following.

  1. Open the Settings app.
