Hey everyone, I messed up and need some help. I uninstalled WhatsApp from my phone the other day thinking I had everything backed up, but when I reinstalled it, a bunch of chats (including some really important ones) were gone. Is there any way to recover WhatsApp messages after uninstalling the app? Does it depend on backups or anything? Would really appreciate any tips if someone’s been through this.
This error usually means the security feature on your SanDisk SSD isn’t turned on or isn’t supported. Make sure you’re using the official SanDisk Security app for your drive and that both the firmware and software are up to date. If you’re still getting that message, try reinstalling the security app or plug the drive into another PC to see if it behaves the same. Let me know how it goes.
Previously, I used another type of NAS storage which result losing 3TB of my valued data when suddenly the enclosure went faulty. Now, I am looking for a NAS storage which can overcome such problems and provide technical assistance when data recovery situation occurs.
Basically, looking for NAS storage which can accommodate Raid 1 and can facilitate the removal of a Hard Disk from Raid, and connect it directly to Windows platform (or any other platform) and allow to read the data. No hustle, no recovery software needed, no complications, just a simple system but very effective at the same time.
Furthermore, encryption is not essential on my situation, but redundancy is very critical. Additionally, my data is constantly on rise therefore I need some space, 16TB should do the trick.
At the moment I am looking at Synology ds218+ but this is not final …
Can you share a bit more detail? Is this an internal or external disk? Also, does it show up in Disk Management (right-click on Start > Disk Management)? Let me know if the drive appears there, and whether it shows a drive letter, says unallocated, or RAW. That’ll help figure out what’s going on.
The wdfilter.sys BSOD is likely due to driver or system file issues. Run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command Prompt. Check Device Manager for bad drivers and test in Safe Mode to rule out third-party conflicts. If it persists, try a System Restore.
Been through this recently. I dropped my phone (S10), screen went black, touch stopped working, but it still powered on.
If your phone turns on and gets detected by a PC, and USB debugging was on, you can pull your data directly. If touch is dead, just plug in a mouse using an OTG cable — worked for me. I was able to unlock and transfer stuff.
Also, check Google Photos or Drive — I found a bunch of my pics backed up there.
If nothing helps and the phone doesn’t show up at all, you might need to look into professional recovery. But yeah, if it turns on, chances are decent you’ll get your stuff back.
Looks like the Windows 11 recovery might’ve created a new user profile or shifted your files. Check C:\Users\ and see if there’s an old user folder with your stuff in it.
If nothing’s there, don’t use the laptop much—using it can overwrite the missing data. Run a Free data recovery software to scan your drive and try to get the files back. Since you haven’t added anything after the recovery, you’ve got a good chance of recovering most of it.
My Synology DS415+ NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order.
There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the computer. I can’t try replacing the device itself – there is no similar device available.
How to extract data from hard disks after the NAS device broke down, from an inoperable disk array? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there)
Is there any well-tested data recovery tools for NAS solutions?
Your WD My Passport is being detected but not showing up in File Explorer, which usually means a partition or file system issue. Open Disk Management—if it shows as unallocated or RAW, don’t format it. If there’s no drive letter, right-click and assign one. If that doesn’t help, use any recovery software, to scan and recover your files. Let me know what you see in Disk Management, and I’ll guide you from there.
I dropped my phone yesterday and the screen is completely shattered. It’s not responding to touch at all, though the phone itself still turns on—I can hear notifications and vibrations. I have a lot of important photos and WhatsApp messages saved on it, but I never backed anything up to Google Drive or cloud.
Is there any way I can access or recover my data without using the touch screen? I’ve heard about USB OTG and connecting a mouse, but I’ve never tried that before. Has anyone here successfully recovered data from a phone in a similar condition? Really hoping there’s a way to get my stuff back. Any help or suggestions would mean a lot!

What is the best long-term data backup solution? I own an LTO 5, but LTO 8 won’t
Has anyone encountered the error: “Security on this drive has not been enabled” while trying to set a password on a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD?
Just download DDU and run it in Safe Mode to remove your NVIDIA drivers. Then restart your PC and install the drivers again. You can find older drivers on NVIDIA’s website by looking up your GPU. Let me know if you want me to walk you through it!
If you can’t find the PID in Task Manager, open Command Prompt as admin and run:
tasklist /svc /FI “IMAGENAME eq WmiPrvSE.exe”
This will show the PIDs and services running under WmiPrvSE.exe. Next, check Event Viewer at Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > WMI-Activity > Operational for errors. Look for the ClientProcessId to match the PID.
If that doesn’t work, restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service from services.msc, then reboot your PC.
You can also try a Clean Boot to see if a third-party app is causing the high CPU usage.
