Today I was working on a computer where opening the Mail Icon in the Control Panel just showed error “Application Not Found”. I removed MS Office 2016 and reinstalled it and it did not fix the issue. I had to go to Control Panel – Programs and click on MS Office 2016 and then select change and repair. It asked me if I want to do online repair so it can download needed files. It took a long time but this fixed the issue. Mail icon in the Control Panel will now open again with no error.

Today I was working on a computer and OneDrive would not open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it did not fix the issue. Until i tried this
On your keyboard hit Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog and type: gpedit.msc and hit Enter to open Local Group Policy Editor.
Next navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\OneDrive. In the right panel, double click Prevent the usage of OneDrive for File Storage.
Then here instead of selecting Enabled I selected not configured, and saved my changes. This fixed my problem and I was able to open OneDrive again

Samsung Galaxy S4 shuts off after a couple seconds

I had this strange problem. I would insert battery into Samsung Galaxy S4 and it would turn on and then shuts off after couple seconds. After some research on Google I found the power button is stuck and pressed all the time – ON.
On a brand new phone you insert battery and then you have to press the power button to turn it on.
On a broken phone the phone will turn on after you insert the battery and because the button is pressed on all the time it will turn itself off again.
SOLUTION: take the phone and put it sideways where the power button is facing down on a table or some flat surface and don’t slam it! but lightly hit it maybe a couple of times and the button will come unstuck. The phone should turn on by itself but the button isn’t stuck so it will turn on perfectly fine.

How to erase format dell usb recovery drive u3-8gdsts?
I bought some Dell Optiplex computers and they came with dell usb recovery drive u3-8gdsts DELL P/N VJ3VF_A00. When a new Windows 10 build was released I tried to create a new USB Boot drive for installation and I found out these DELL Flash drives are locked and you can not erase them or format them. After some testing I found this tool that will erase them and turn them into normal usable USB Flash drives. Click on this link https://www.pny.com.tw/en/support-detail/usb-flash-drives/
and then look for USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II)
download – unzip and run it. Make sure you select the correct drive to erase – it will erase all files on the drive !! – you have been warned
I also used JetFlash tool and it fixed the DELL USB Flash drive for me – download it from this link
https://www.transcend-info.com/Support/Software-3#
#UPDATE######
It looks like the tool we renamed to JetFlash Online Recovery but the link is still active. I was able to download it and the tool still works and it does what it is supposed to do.

- Disable Smart Lock (Google)
- reboot the phone
- Go to Settings – Security & Location – Trust Agents
- enable Smart Lock (Google)
- go back
- click on Smart lock
- and the problem is fixed
