I have uninstalled chrome but can't delete it's files?
I'm trying to get rid of chrome so that I can reinstall. I have uninstalled, however when I try to delete all it's files, it tells me that the directory is being used by another process. I've tried checking task manager, downloading and running process explorer, but I'm none the wiser. I've also tried restarting my computer and force deleting it in CMD, but nothing has worked. It's strange. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks
2 AnswersSoftware5 years agoWindows 8.1 Brightness won't adjust?
So I booted up my laptop today and noticed that I suddenly cannot adjust the brightness. When I do it using the fn keys, the slider moves up or down by one level but the screen brightness stays the same. I tried doing it via the settings menu but even though the slider increases/decreases, the brightness remains the same. I searched online and noticed that some other people have had the same problem, however I have not been able to find a definitive solution. Any help would be appreciated.

2 AnswersSoftware6 years agoIn Software engineering, what does the term 'ceremony' mean?
I was asked this in an interview recently and while the term sounds familiar, I'm not sure what it refers to. Is it just a fancy alternative term for 'software life cycle model' or is it an actual ceremony, i.e. a daily meeting determining progress on the project or something completely different?
