windows

I haven't been on my pc for a while and I started by updating Windows and my graphics Drivers, Windows refused to update due to my tpm 2.0 not being activated. So I looked up how to activate it and have done so and then I got stuck in a Windows death loop which I managed to get put off and now...

Hi guys, I regularly use a few folders that give me a preview of files that have long since moved or been deleted... See: This particular folder previews a Bloc Party single I bought in around 2007 :D Any idea on how to clear/refresh? - that file (.mp3) hasn't been in that directory...

We have a folder with over 300k image files in separate subfolders, I want to copy all the files together into another folder without the subfolders , and without overwriting them , also we need to copy the long path name files automatically without having to shortening it every time we have the...

Do I need to re-install Windows again? Hi everyone, I am pretty new to using Windows 11 and am finding my feet, so please forgive me if my question sounds stupid! I had a BSOD that happened nearly a month ago and was an unspecified error. I did a hardware scan which found no errors and I...

I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this problem and has any advice on what to do, (if anything). I’ve had my PC for four months now or so and everything works well overall, but tonight for the 2nd time since owning when I booted the PC it went to the ‘choose an option’ page...

Hi all, Anyone got any thoughts or experience with claiming on their home insurance for smashed windows and impact on premiums in subsequent years? The other weekend I was strimming and a stone flicked up and shattered the outer sheet of a double glazing pane. I'm thinking to claim on our home...

Hi all, My PC has recently developed a problem in the form of momentary sound, video and performance stuttering. By this I mean I can be working away, listening to Spotify/Youtube, and then a 2 second stuttering occurs in the form of: Sound as though the output is being rapidly flicked on and...

I upgraded to a 13700KF about a week ago and have been tweaking my overclock of it ever since. I got it stable at 5.5GHz all P-Cores with E-Cores disabled. I also overclocked my RAM from 3600MHz CL16 to 3900MHz CL17. This configuration was rock solid stable, passing hours of Cinebench...

I wish to restore images made with clonezilla from windows to an SSD connected via USB ( via m-sata adapter or sata adapter) without booting into clonezilla or rescuezilla (because it is a pain, especially with all the secure/protected boot **** going on these days). Is this possible? To run a...

Hi all Just built my 1st PC in over 10 years and got a Win10 iso on a usb. Got a post and I can see the usb and m.2 within the storage options in the bios but can’t get it to boot from the USB. Actually it’s saying there aren’t any bootable devices to prioritise. If I go into the advanced...

I am completely baffled now, must have tried everything by now and still can't see the NVME while trying to install Windows. Setup: Asus B660M Prime on latest BIOS 12100F P3 Plus 1TB (also tried a SN850X 1TB) Drive is plugged into the slot closest to CPU so M2_1, can easily see it in BIOS, but...

Is there any software that will allow you to have multiple pointing devices, each with their own handedness? E.g. someone might have a left-handed trackball for general use and a right-handed mouse for gaming.

Intel is going down the big + little core path; AMD is not, at least with Ryzen 7000. Windows 10 cannot differentiate between the types of cores. So I think Ryzen 7000 CPUs be preferred by Windows 10 users. If I had a tinfoil hat I might wonder how much AMD was paying Microsoft to keep this...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me remove a SharePoint folder structure from my Windows Explorer. It's a location used for a contract with a client last year, logged into an account made by said client. The account is no longer active. This is what I see with all collapsed in the left...

I have had my pc since 2019, and I have had no issues with it what so ever, until recently I started to notice my PC would randomly restart, I dont get the "Restarting..." Screen, it just instantly turns off and on again, my specs are: RTX 3060 i7-6700k (bottleneck i know) 16gb ddr4 ram Z170A...

Hi All, My PC started acting up a few back as it started freezing straight after waking up from sleep. I would see the background screen and mouse/keyboard would be frozen. This also happened when I locked my PC and then came back to login. It would either show windows background screen or...

Hey guys, So I'm going to be building a new PC in a couple of weeks, my current PC runs on Windows 10 Home edition. I'm going to be changing out my storage as part of this upgrade, going with a nice gen 4 m.2 drive. I don't want to purchase windows again, so what I'm thinking of doing is...

Hi All, I have had my tower server for a few years. I bought it without a boot drive. I bought a 256GB SSD and installed Windows 10 on it and added a couple drives to complete the 4 storage disks, then configured the RAID (forget which). I backed up all the information on an external drive...

Hi, its been 15 years since I built my last Pc (i defected to Mac), but after having a new M1 mac mini for a month and finding it an absolute dog egg, I got Crapple to refund me pronto and decided to revert to Windows. I am a casual video editor (4k drone), a keen photoshopper and other...

Hello, I've recently noticed that there are a lot of group policies set on my personal pc that only I use at home. I don't know why this is as I don't remember ever setting anything like that. I've tried many different suggestions on different forums but nothing seemed to work, and now I cannot...
