Hello all members,
 
The "Mark Solved" option has been activated in the Computer Trouble-Shooting Discussion Board. Now originating posters (OPs) can select their own "Best Answer."
 
How it works:
 
Each member response to an originating poster's issue will now include a "Mark Solved" button that can only be seen by the OP (see image1). If a specific response solves the OPs issue, he/she can simply click the Mark Solved button for that specific response and it will automatically do two things:
 
1. It will update the index to show the OPs issue as "Answered." (see image2)
2. It will add the "Best Answer" to the top of the OPs post. (see image3)
 
This new feature could really benefit members or guests that are looking for solutions while browsing or searching the Computer Trouble-Shooting Discussion Board.
 
Note: The Wise Specific Product Boards do not have this feature enabled.

Lost files can usually be recovered—if you discover the loss soon enough. But every time you write to the hard drive, you lower the likelihood of a successful recovery. So use that computer as little as possible when you want to recover lost files unless you’ve given up hope.
 
Try these solutions, in this order:
 
 
Use Wise Jet Search
 
There is a little chance that you placed the lost file somewhere else, but you are not sure where. In that case you will have to search the whole computer. With Wise Jet Search you can find any file in your computer unless the file is hidden or in the Recycle Bin. Users can also choose the file type or type in the keywords to narrow down the search. If you can’t find, read on.
 
 

 
Check the Recycle Bin
 
Windows stores “deleted” files here as a safety measure. You’ll find the icon in the upper-left corner of your screen. if you find the files there, select them, right-click them, and choose Restore.
 
 
Use your backup
 
If you back up your hard drive—or at least your libraries—on a regular basis, your files are probably preserved there. I don’t know which backup program you use, so I can’t tell you exactly how to search for and recover the files. It’s generally a pretty intuitive process.
 
And if you don’t back up, maybe it’s time to get into the habit. It won’t help you this time, but it could the next.
 
 
Try file recovery software
 
Even a file that’s no longer in the Recycle Bin may still exist. Windows doesn’t overwrite the actual ones and zeros until another file needs the drive space. That’s why I told you to avoid using the PC as much as possible.
 
There are several good file recovery programs available. I recommend Wise Data Recovery. It’s easy to use and has a recoverability analysis feature showing users how likely they are going to recover the deleted or lost file. 
 

And  it also has a portable version, which means that you don’t have to install it, you can use it on your PC without writing to the hard drive. Download the program on another computer, and unzip it to a folder on a flash drive. Then plug the flash drive into the PC with the missing files, and run it from there.
 
 
Hire a professional (last resort)
 
This is the last resort, if none of the above suggestions work. There are many data recovery services available, and since your drive is still working, you probably don’t need one of the more expensive ones.
 
 

I have a Mediacom M-SBA11C Smartbook with Windows 10 Home 32bit.
I've  just reinstallled Windows 10 Home 32bit from a bootable USB. Everything works fine except one thing.
I'm left with no sound, I've already tried everything like updating drivers etc.
In the device manager there are two unknown devices that need to be reinstalled. I've tried the hardware legacy mode in the panel and put Realtek but still doesn't work. The audio services are on. Windows update installed a Realtek driver already but the sound devices are still not working. Even the sound controller has gone in the device manager, there are only two unknown devices with an exclamation mark and that need reinstalling. There is no sound output and it shows unknown.
I really don't know what to do.
Thanks.

Although I've had Wise Registry Cleaner on my computer for about 3 years, I never noticed the "1-click" icon setting. It is supposed to allow you to click it and WRC runs in the background. Only one problem: It doesn't work. Reason I know it isn't working is because after clicking it (and tried double-clicking it, too), I open WRC and run a deep scan. That scan finds lots of safe-go-delete items, which it shouldn't because the 1-click should have already cleaned them out.
 
I have the latest version (9.4.7.619). Is this a bug?

I think "Analyze" should be above "Defragment" and "Full Optimization".
