How to: Repair Windows’ MBR and fix a bricked PC

MBR Damaged The main way to Fix the MBR is to use a command prompt and run the bootrec.exe command. In versions of Windows prior to Windows 8 and 10 , you usually accessed the command prompt through recovery media like a DVD disc or USB drive.  When you start boot up a Windows 10 PC it should recognize that there’s a problem and enter ‘automatic repair’ mode.   If that doesn’t happen, but you do see the blue Windows logo, turn off your computer using the hard reset/power button. Keep turning the computer on and off until you see your PC booting into automatic repair. It should only take a few reboots. Once automatic repair mode is ready, you’ll see the Automatic Repair screen. From here select Advanced options. On the next screen, click Troubleshoot and then Advanced options once again.

The new feature is just one of many tweaks that Edge needs to compete with more popular browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. At the time of writing, the number of extensions available for Edge is limited, but you’ll need a few notable ones, including AdBlock, AdBlock Plus and Pocket. Once the Anniversary Update is installed on your PC, here’s how to download and install extensions in Edge.  First, open Microsoft Edge and click on the menu icon (three horizontal dots) in the upper-right corner.  Next, select Extensions from the drop-down menu. This will open a second panel that will show any extensions you already have installed.  Click the link labelled Get Extensions From The Store. The Store app will now open on the dedicated extensions page with all the various extensions you can install in your browser. From here on out, installing extensions works the same way as installing Store apps. Example : You wanted to install AdBlock Plus.  First, C

This isn’t a global setting though, so if you regularly take your PC to other networks (one at work, for example), then you’ll need to repeat this process when you rst go there, otherwise it will be considered a normal Wi-Fi connection and Windows will run the updates. These settings are all remembered by the system, so once you’ve set them up, the rules will then automatically apply every time you connect to that network. If you ever want to revert back to your normal state, then just turn off the Metered Connection option.
