I have a query about Win7 memory retention please.
Yesterday we had yet another power cut only this time I was actually using the machine. When power was restored after about 2hrs, I logged on to various sites and in some cases the password had been retained, but in others, including this one, it had vanished and had to be reset.
I am curious as to why this should be given that I would have thought that despite the fact I got a standard message about "incorrectly shut down"...obviously....this would have made no difference to the retention of passwords.
Any advice, as always, welcome for clarification please.
