System Z suddenly appeared September 12, 2016 - what is it?

Hello

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Service Pack 1.

Today a new drive appeared that wasn't there yesterday!  SYSTEM (z) - I did as suggested by Martmcd in the conversation on the forum Windows 10 and checked the disk (see below), management but this mysterious Z player appears at the top without a name.

Other readers, I can explain as follows:

Data disc (G) - this is a memory stick

HP_Recovery (D) - this was created when I got the PC

OS (C) - Standard

Samsung (F) - this is another stick of memory.

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Service Pack 1.  If this isn't just a problem of Windows 10.  It seems that this drive Z uses 40.9 96.0 MB

I'm afraid this isn't a scam.  Help, please.

What you call 'System Z' is the EFI in Windows system partition. It is necessary to start. You would have reason to worry if he was missing ! If you want to learn more, see Wikipedia.

  • my fonts disappeared! When I go to change the system fonts and fixedsys... What do I do?

    I use Vista Home Basic and a little more than a month I've had problems with the script!  All the lines and symbols... I have restored until I can't do a day earlier that when this problem happened!  Finally, I changed the standard windows fonts and I use somethings, but much is still in the symbols (dashes, lines, etc.).  I went into my fonts folder in Control Panel and my folder is empty!  When I go to change the system fonts and fixedsys... What do I do?

    Hi Vickie,

    If you see only the fonts system and no additional (specific program) installed fonts, then you can try the following steps and check.

    Most likely, the fonts are installed on your computer are hidden. Did the same by following these steps.

    Method 1:

    a. open fonts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking fonts.

    b. now click organize , and then click on folder and search options.

    c. click the display and check to select Show hidden files, folders and drives.

    d. click apply and OK. Check if you see all the fonts.

    (Make sure that show you the files hidden after the repair is done by selecting don't show hidden files, folders and drives.)

    Method 2:

    Try to perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  • Sudden appearance of a number of records - look like some registry entries

    In Windows Explorer/OS(C:), il est soudainement apparu sur 30 à 40 dossiers avec deles de noms de dossiers qui ressemblent à deles de entrées de registre.)  Each of them up to 36 random characters (letters and numbers).  Each folder is empty.

    What do these? How are they here? How can I get rid of them?

    These types of records are usually a remnant of the Windows Update process and can be deleted safely.  (It is sometimes necessary to change the permissions).  However, it is unusual to see so many many "suddenly appear."

  • Control bar of the unknown Volume suddenly appearing on desktop Dual-Boot computers.

    Original title: 'Mystery' Volume Control Bar sudden appearance on desktop Dual-Boot computers.

    Good day, community:

    I'll do my best to make the question as concise as possible.  This is a real new for me.

    I dual-boot Windows 7 Pro & Windows 8.1 Pro on a 64-bit computer.  Each operating system is on another HDD (mechanical).  Yesterday, a control Volume unsourced bar began to appear on each of the separate workstations.  On the DT of Win7, this bar is displayed in the lower right region and hovers over the SysTray speaker icon.  On the DT 8.1 Win, it appears in the box to the upper left, similar to where the real system volume control appears when it is called.  Each of these 'mystery ' control bars will appear - and then disappear for a period of time.  Each control bar is flooded-out for the volume level of 100% and stays there.  Right click shows no drop-down menu to display the properties.  The control rods cannot be manipulated to adjust the volume levels.  When I view the actual systems Volume mixer and attempt to manipulate the volume level bar will adjust briefly but then floods automatically save the level of 100%.  I ran my anti-virus - full system scan - all readers - update Avast for free - and malware kit & root scan - MalwareBytes - but nothing does.

    The following may provide a clue.  The last program I have installed under the two O/S has been steam 'The Orange Box'. All components have been updated.  I disabled the Steam Client to bootloader program in each operating system using msconfig/startup and restarted.  The 'mystery ' Volume control bar continues to appear in the same areas described above.  I intend to describe the same question on the steam Forum community.  Thank you all for your time.  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Anyone know why fonts be suddenly appear down to the bottom of the box unless I actually scroll the menu and leave it highlighted?

    darlagore,

    I think that it can fix:

    Open system preferences and go to accessibility. Then select display in the source on the left side list, then check the box transparency reduced.

  • Photosmart 5524: MGP1CN1610AR update the Firmware on HP PhotoSmart 5524 on September 14, 2016 broke wireless printing

    I have a question which I believe is related to the MGP1CN1610AR firmware update that was released on September 14, 2016 and auto installed on my HP Photosmart 5524.  Since the update I can print is no longer my laptop Windows 10, or my iPhone with iOS 10.  I can, however, send an e-mail to my HPEPrint account and this shows with success - which proves that the printer is connected to the internet and WiFi.

    My network is provided by my BT HomeHub 5 with BT infinity.  The status of router, the printer displays intermittently as connected then disconnected.  This is since the update of the firmware.

    Is it possible to restore the firmware on the printer? OR is there a known solution to get my WiFi printing works again.

    Hi RTD_HPUser,

    Thank you for your answer!

    I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you. About the firmware, as long as the Web service is enabled, you can select the icon Web Services, settings, and then select printer Update, then the update is automatic, and turns off. This will prevent the firmware update on the printer.

    If you are unable to reach a resolution, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

    I hope that answers your question!

  • Re: Equium A200-15I - crack suddenly appeared on the screen

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Equium A200-15I laptop about 15 months ago, and I'm not sure that this is under any kind of warranty or not.

    A few weeks ago I tried to turn on the laptop but a crack suddenly appeared on the screen and the screen has been damaged. It seems as if the crack is internal, because I can't feel anything on the surface of the screen.

    I wonder how it is possible to know if the laptop is under warranty or not, and if not, if it is possible to fix the problem.

    Thank you very much
    Ken

    Hello

    This guy s shame

    I fear that this issue is not could be covered by warranty m.
    These cracks may not appear without reason
    I think that something touched the screen and led to this crack

    In any case, you could simply ask a technician ASP in your country for details and the manipulation of the Fryer, but I doubt that the warranty would cover replacement.

    When I click on 'file', 'Edition', etc. in Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer, the menu drop-down appears to the right what I'm clicking on., making it sometimes difficult to get to the line on the drop-down list, I want to access.  He acted in this way for a while, but I think much about it until I was on a friends computer that do not have the problem.  Anyone know how I can fix this problem?  Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4807 laptop.  Thank you!

    It is perhaps a workaround for you...

    If you leave space on the left of the screen, the drop-down list box on the left side.
    Like this.. .notice that some of my desktop icons appear on the left where the space was.

    How to stop messages from Skype that suddenly appears on my screen when other people use my computer?  using windows 8, but I can't control these messages (sometimes very) distracting to appear?

    Hello

    If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user.  They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.
