You can press the up button and it'll auto fill your last used command so you can edit it

[elder cliff]

ohhhh

[vestal ibex]

No corruption

Well

PC Reset from settings is next

You can search it in settings, just follow the prompts

[elder cliff]

like just window reset

?

[vestal ibex]

Yes it sets windows back to a factory state

It can either save your files or do a full reset

[elder cliff]

this?

or another one

[vestal ibex]

yes that

[elder cliff]

does it matter if i keep files

[vestal ibex]

Not particularly

[elder cliff]

alr

oop

how i get out of safe mode

[vestal ibex]

windows key + R

msconfig

boot tab, deselct safe boot

[elder cliff]

k

[vestal ibex]

Local since cloud probably won't work

[elder cliff]

its working now

thank you

[vestal ibex]

Great! Keep an eye out for any other weirdness and if you do get some I (or someone else) can walk you through reinstalling from a USB.

[elder cliff]

yeah

[somber berry]

is there any way to revert to a local admin account in ur pc? i logged into my friends acc, logged into my microsoft one and it synced with my pc, and whenever i turn it on it dosent ask me for my PC password but it asks me for the microsoft verification code which is really annoying, and it dosent let me select local account, can anyone help me? (pic showing that local admin dosent show up)

[somber berry]

or is there any way to make another local account that i can switch to?

or change the method to password

i dont want to put my microsoft code every time i turn on my pc

[vestal ibex]

This would be the best option. You can still make a user with a couple net commands. I think it was
net user [username] [password] /add
net localgroup administrators [username] /add

[somber berry]

does it un install everything? i saw a video on yt and the guy did a new account but the entire pc was like formatted on that new account

[vestal ibex]

It would be able to use globally installed programs, like ones that are installed into the program files folder, and since it's an admin account you can give yourself access to any needed user files

The program shortcuts might not be there but the programs will work

[somber berry]

okay thank u fal

[wooden flint]

Is it actually possible to install two instances of Windows on the same PC (different hard drives)?

[vestal ibex]

100% possible. You can even install 2 different instances on the same hard drive.
Windows does have a few quirks when it comes to multiboot, though. After one OS updates it might forget that the other exists and then you have to rebuild the boot sector.

[wooden flint]

i'm actually about to install Win10 on my external hard drive...so everything would work fine if a bootloader is installed when the PC already has a Win10 install?

[vestal ibex]

Windows will not install on external drives

Linux is perfectly happy doing that but not Windows, not without doing extra setup for a To-Go drive

[wooden flint]

huh, didn't know that

i've always installed the bootloader for Linux on the PC itself, then had the external drive act as a sort of "key" to boot into linux

[wooden flint]

I screwed up royally…after plugging in the To-Go drive and setting everything up, it turns out that it overrode the bootloader for Windows installed on my internal SSD

[vestal ibex]

That's an easy enough fix. You just have to boot the install disk and rebuild the EFI partition.

[wooden flint]

Tricky to solve but all I did was create a new boot option by finding the EFI file on the file system

veeeeery long time to find

On my surface pro 6 (win10) I can chose between 59.959 and 60.019hz refresh rate, apart from these two being odd, is there any difference between one another? Could there be any difference in power consumption

[idle dragon]

Reminder: never update something that is too cpu or chipset related using bit driver updater

[viral eagle]

I doubt there's a noticeable difference

[idle dragon]

Definitely
Just wondering if that might give the same problems most amd GPUs have where some particular refresh rates make the idle power consumption spike
But I checked with hwinfo and I don't see a big difference, I'd also need some more testing but from what I've seen so far it's the same

[ember robin]

does anyone know how I can get to the bios screen?

[viral eagle]

Restart PC/laptop, mash F2 and F9-12 while it's starting up

The key varies, you can look it up or just hit a bunch of them and one will work

Sometimes esc or del will work as well.

[idle dragon]

When i set up windows on my microsoft Surface i set the keyb layout to italian, but apparently that's wrong since it's an English kb. i can still change it on the bottom right but by default when i start my pc it is always set to IT, how do i set uk as the main one?

[idle dragon]

nvm, found the setting

for example i run gta 5 and it says n/a at fps

[rain terrace]

I see these deals for Windows 11 pro for like $20. Is this a good idea for older games ?

Or just gaming in general

[vestal ibex]

Technically those keys are frowned upon as gray market keys, and we can't discuss specifics about them here.
Also you don't need pro for gaming. There's no features it adds that you will ever need or use.

Depending on how old the game is, a virtual machine might be better than windows compatibility mode. And for VERY old games, like 95 era or older, I recommend PCem. You will need a strong processor.

[rain terrace]

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2152213/black-friday-upgrade-to-windows-11-pro-for-just-23.html
This is what you are talking about? I saw it being advertised in a reputable source not some grey site I don’t believe

Also by old I just meant a PC game from 2000-2005 not super retro

[vestal ibex]

Yeah so a windows XP virtual machine would probably be the best thing for that era of game

98 to XP aimed games are very hard for modern compatibility mode to work with, especially since windows 11 is 64 bit only so 16 bit programs can't work, at all.

[spice beacon]

Yeah pc world is legit

[balmy grove]

pc world is an established site

[dull gale]

I just got a laptop (w11) and it's using integrated graphics instead of the graphics card. How do I switch?

[vestal ibex]

It should switch automatically when you load up the graphics with a game or something

It's a power saving feature but it can bug out sometimes and fail to switch

[dull gale]

It wasn't working with userbenchmark, I'm guessing that's an exception

[vestal ibex]

If you're only using it plugged in you can disable the integrated graphics in bios

Yeah the ubm app kinda sucks

[dull gale]

Ok so it still isnt working and the only option for switchable graphics in the bios is muxless

Am I doomed?

[vestal ibex]

Nah. Update the bios and drivers. That usually solves the bug.

Both sets of drivers, for each GPU

[dull gale]

Damn. Is there a software I can download that can take care of that for me? I don't feel like doing all that

[vestal ibex]

I really, really don't recommend using driver downloaders. They're often out of date and some are straight up viruses.

What model is the laptop? Sometimes the manufacturer has a program built in now that I think about it. It would still be out of date but at least newer versions than it shipped with.

[dull gale]

Msi gf65 thin. It came with MSI center

[vestal ibex]

Yep MSI does have an updater, it can handle bios updates too

[dull gale]

Nice. Is it in msi center or is it a separate software

[vestal ibex]

Should be in msi center

It's been a while since I used it and they're always changing how it looks so I can't help with specifics too much

[dull gale]

Seems like I'm all updated according to msi center

[vestal ibex]

I find that hard to believe

What version does it say the bios is

And is yours the model with Intel CPU and Nvidia graphics?

[dull gale]

It doesn't say anything about the bios but all the drivers are matching current with online ver

Yea its an i5 11500h with 3050

I have both Intel and Nvidia graphics drivers

[vestal ibex]

Intel graphics is version 31.0.101.4972 and Nvidia is 546.17?

[dull gale]

536.67 and 30.0.100.9864 I guess I'll have to do it manually since the software is wrong about the online ver

[vestal ibex]

Yeah MSI is out of date like I thought

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/216465/en-us/

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

[dull gale]

🙏

Just finished updating and nothing 😭

[vestal ibex]

Does your full model number end in 10UE-213

[dull gale]

It says MS-16R6

[vestal ibex]

That comes up as the GF63 thin and not the GF65

[dull gale]

Meant to type 63, mb

But yea that's the one

[vestal ibex]

Oddly there's 2 different bios versions for the same model laptop. If you can figure out what version you have then we can make sure you have the latest.

[dull gale]

I'm on E16R6IMS.113

[vestal ibex]

Ok that is the latest version

[dull gale]

Is that good?

I'd hate to have to return it

[vestal ibex]

You can set it to force use the dedicated graphics from the nvidia control panel

[dull gale]

Any idea how?

[vestal ibex]

Set that to the 3050 and the power management mode to high performance

[dull gale]

I think it worked 😯

My integrated GPU still goes up when playing games but the dedicated one is being hit too

Thanks for the help g

[idle dragon]

anyone knows if is there an app for windows that allows to control the backlight of an LED screen? I'd like to solve a problem with my Microsoft Surface pro 6 which has these bright spots on the screen that are really visible mainly when displaying darker images. Is there anything that could be set to dim those specific zones with this defect?

[balmy grove]

nope

[last gorge]

I’ve never heard of a universal program for that but some monitors have their own applications to control monitor settings in some capacity.
Id imagine that is much more difficult for an integrated device like a laptop

[vestal ibex]

You don't have individual dimming zones, just a standard edge-lit design. Maybe try turning off the adaptive brightness and contrast?

[idle dragon]

Oh I thought I could control different backlit zones on the screen as if it was some sort of oled screen but I guess it's not. I already turned off adaptive brightness and contrast but they don't help in any way, I can see the spots with darker images or higher brightness levels but I guess I'll just get used to it

I guess the spots are caused from the screen being pushed/squished too much and this resulting in the leds being closer to the backlight in those particular parts of the screen, right? Kind of like backlight bleeding..?

[vestal ibex]

That's one of the fatal flaws of edge lighting sadly, there WILL be darker spots

[vestal ibex]

Sort of but it can be a manufacturing defect even where parts of the screen have more adhesive or something

[idle dragon]

It also really surprised me that no one came out with an app to solve these problems on the right screens that can actually dim specific zones on the backlight, since this is not quite an uncommon issue

[vestal ibex]

Yeah even with proper backlighting you can have LEDs that are slightly brighter than their neighbors. You've been spoiled by OLED lol.

[idle dragon]

I got this Surface used and it wasn't in very good conditions (mainly on the casing) so I guess it just hasn't been treated the right way through its life

Maybe if I ever want to I could take some time to ope this up and try to somehow remove those spots, maybe get a new screen or simply a newer Surface if I later need one

But that's likely just gonna be time consuming

[vestal ibex]

I doubt it can be properly fixed without specialized calibration equipment and risk of permanent damage

[idle dragon]

Screen replacement is probably the best solution in this case but it should be considered that the new screen could already have some slight defects or maybe get damaged when installing it

So
I should just ignore the spots and end it there

[vestal ibex]

That's what I'd do

[scarlet creek]

why wont this install, keep saying error

[midnight turret]

any way to tell windows 10 to not go to 11. I turned on my PC and it was like "HEY WE ARE DOWNLOADING WINDOWS 11 FOR YOU"

[vestal ibex]

Disable your TPM so you don't meet the requirements for 11?

[vestal ibex]

Try rebooting first, then the windows update troubleshooter. You can find it in settings under System>Troubleshoot>Other Troubleshooters.

[scarlet creek]

doesnt work :/

it says problem found and detected and told me to try again but nothing changed

~How to Fix OperaGX eric andre scream~

Navigate to AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX

Open Control Panel > all Control Panel items > Programs and Features

Find OperaGX, select it, then hit the uninstall button above.

Install Firefox, or Brave, or librewolf, or ungoogled chromium.

None of those have the ability to limit cpu, ram, network ect lol

Brave has a low power mode and can cashe/freeze tabs to use less ram. I would assume Firefox has similar features, not sure about librewolf and chromium.

Please, anyone knows a good tutorial (or is able to guide me through) a win 11/tiny 11 install on a lumia 950, allowing for dual boot, which means keeping the base windows 10m? Suggestions whether I should be using tiny 11 or normal a64 win11? Some people say tiny11 has some more bugs but it'd also save a lot of space. Dual booting with normal win11 would leave something like 5GB available in total to share between the two os. I could also add a SD card to expand the storage

[icy stream]

Am I going to have to wipe my windows install like my desktop or something?

Trying to open bluetooth and it insta closes

I was reading online some people we saying to do repairs and I did that but it still does it and most people I saw was go back to a previous save point or save data and reinstall

[icy stream]

You do got those people that keep open like 30 tabs for some reason

[balmy grove]

just have more ram, ez

jokes aside, you should try to install bt driver for your pc

[green terrace]

hmm yea try choco

[icy stream]

Well the problem is I believed it worked in the past

And honestly been having a lot of problems with this laptop

[vestal ibex]

Bluetooth is, was, and always will be very finicky

Much like onboard audio, it can take 3-5 tries installing the same driver before it actually works

[icy stream]

Didn't work sadly

[icy stream]

I guess I've never had a problem with bluetooth what's up with me having so many problems with my computers my crap luck

Chocolatey aka choco is a script that keeps everything up to date it could or won't fix your issue but it's my only good thought imo

So, I’ve been told to DDU my new 6700xt elite whenever I get it up and running.

Should I if I’m just going to be doing gaming? And is it worth it?

[viral eagle]

Does your system currently have an Nvidia card?

[vestal ibex]

Yes it's definitely worth doing DDU when you get a new GPU, especially if the old one is a different brand. There's lots of things that can go wrong or conflict if you don't.

Please reply to this message while answering.

[viral eagle]

One of the reviews says its an OEM key

(So, not fake, just might be locked to the motherboard)

[eager otter]

any chance my ssd with windows on it will just work when i plug it into a new motherboard?

[viral eagle]

If it was working fine in a different pc/laptop it most likely will work in a new machine

Sometimes you have to re-activate windows on the new machine but that isn't hard

[vestal ibex]

This is possible and usually works best when you stay on the same brand CPU. If you go from Intel to AMD you can lose up to 20% of your CPU performance from chipset bugs. The only way to fix that bug is to reinstall windows.

[eager otter]

Staying on Intel. Wondering if I should clean install windows on a different drive then transfer windows back to my nvme?

[vestal ibex]

Nah you should just be able to drop the drive into the new PC and be good to go. Except potentially needing to run the activation troubleshooter.

[eager otter]

Forsure

[fickle shadow]

someone has been trying to brute force my wife's password for her old facebook account since yesterday, using a vpn to switch once too many attempts have been made. is there anything she can do about this? they're still trying at this moment

[last gorge]

to stop them? not really, only thing I can think of is it you changed all the credentials. But if you have some form of 2FA enabled and you have a secure email account it should be fine.

Pretty common to have usernames or emails leaked from online retailers, grocery stores, medical centers, etc

[tardy bloom]

yeah she set it to 2 factor auth. it's just extremely unnerving that someone has been desperately trying to get into her facebook she had when she was like 10 years old every few hours for over 24 hours

[vestal ibex]

I've had the same issue for a while now. Facebook has an option to disable password reset but it doesn't work for me. Luckily they can't get in without my authenticator code

I should probably just delete my Facebook at this point tbh, I never use it

[eager otter]

anyone know why I got the Activate Windows water mark? I have a retail version of Windows. Installed my ssd onto a new motherboard and didnt clean install windows.

[vestal ibex]

You can run the activation troubleshooter in settings and see what it says

[balmy grove]

Well, there's ways

Try to repair windows with an install media you made from an empty usb drive

Or reinstall windows completely if it fails

I won't dig into what you were doing, but know that this server doesn't condone doing any illegal stuff

[tacit dagger]

Ok I made it to the cmd but I still have a broken cursor

Dism won't work cause it's a windows re environment

[vestal ibex]

systemreset –factoryreset
It'll prompt to keep or wipe your files

[tacit dagger]

I hope I can keep stuff

It's not my laptop it's my mother in laws

She has pictures and stuff

Doesn't want to lose things

Hopefully this fixes it...

I don't want to make things worse

:/

It's stuck at 1%

Welp

I think I'm screwed

Yep it went to 10% now says undoing changes

[vestal ibex]

Oof

Reinstall from USB?

[tacit dagger]

But we lose data

[vestal ibex]

Not if you don't tell it to format

Just install over the existing partition, windows moves the old install to windows.old and keeps everything else in place

[tacit dagger]

I certainly hope so

Imma try that hopefully it works...

If not then I'll be murdered

@vestal ibex so I will just select the drive and press next

[vestal ibex]

Yes

[tacit dagger]

And it won't format

I'm scared to do this

[vestal ibex]

Correct, no formatting

[tacit dagger]

Ok now we waut

Emmc

And usb 3 don't mix

[vestal ibex]

Still faster than HDD

[tacit dagger]

Also pentium and 4gb ram

[vestal ibex]

Fun stuff

[tacit dagger]

Turned it off

It was using USB 2.0

So not waiting for that

Ok now it's going

Now it's copied

Getting files ready now

Ok to the spinning dots getting ready now

[vestal ibex]

When you get to the desktop don't panic if you don't see the files right away. They'd be tucked into the windows.old folder.

[tacit dagger]

Well... It's still at getting ready.

For 15 mins now

@vestal ibex is it normal to take this long

[vestal ibex]

On emmc, yes

It can take up to an hour on slow systems

[tacit dagger]

Also probably doesn't help it was 25gb free

[vestal ibex]

Yep

[tacit dagger]

Booted

Now setting up

Stuff on desktop doesn't exist

There's no desktop folder

[tacit dagger]

@vestal ibex worked out great thanks man

just gotta let windows uipdate run then clean the old install up

reason desktop was empty is that she doesnt use the desktop

LOL

[viral eagle]

Hey anyone know why .bat files won't run on my PC (win11)? it pops up the prompt to choose which program to open the file with, but I think it's supposed to just run similarly to how an .exe would

[tacit dagger]

you can always test in CMD

see if its just a file association error

[viral eagle]

just like run <filepath> or soemthing like that?

It would just be nice if I could run em without cmd. Didn't use to have this issue

iirc I already made sure the registry was set up to run .bat correctly

[vestal ibex]

You can shift+right click in the folder containing the batch file, then run it with ./run.bat

The ./ Is important

[viral eagle]

yeah I just did

cd filepath
batfilename.bat

shift+rclick just shows this for me

[viral eagle]

this works good enough though, I don't run batch files that often anyways

[vestal ibex]

It would be "open powershell window here", powershell being the new cmd

hello guys, need some help. my motherboard is MSI X570 tomahawk wifi and cpu is ryzen 9 5900X. How do I know if the current bios on MSI website would be compatible? I look at the compatibility page, the bios might be suitable would be the one release in 2021 and not current 2023. I want to update my windows 10 to 11 so I need to change the boot to secure boot and enable TPM. Anyone can help?

[spice beacon]

If it's compatible it'll turn on so that's a pretty easy way of telling

[idle dragon]

I'm probably going to install tiny 11 on the Lumia on of these days since after looking at some tutorials it seems to not be that difficult after all. just to make sure I can revert things if i get something wrong, how can I save the current windows 10 somewhere so that I can "reinstall" it if possible? Other than that I could use windows device recovery tool (wdrt) if I accidentally not brick completely the phone.
I was thinking I could clone the entire storage to a drive using Macrium...?

The only thing I see mentioned on that error is to boot an install disk and perform a repair on the drive. if this is a brand new pc it could be a bad install. possibly try reformatting the install disk with a windows iso using a tool such as rufus, if you wanted to be safe then do that on a different usb drive

[near furnace]

how would u go about finding out exactly which process triggered what looks like a cmd/powershell window popping up for just a fraction of a second, at random times ?
(in the most recent instance, I also see desktop icons reloaded/rerendered)
I tried:

• task scheduler: doesn't display all existing tasks in 1 go,
  most tasks are nested inside hundreds of folders
• event viewer: timestamps are older than the event that occurred
• Malwarebytes scan on C drive found nothing

[vestal ibex]

CCleaner has a much cleaner way of showing tasks etc in their tools

[near furnace]

oo thanks I'll check it out

iirc I heard bad things about CCleaner, but forgot what exactly

[vestal ibex]

It's mostly issues with what the main cleaning part of the app can clean. Sometimes it's things you might actually want to keep.

Plus the registry cleaner has potential problems but I've never had any personally

[near furnace]

gotcha

I just ran a quick script found online and ig for now it looks like it might be something Chrome/Google related

time stamp seems to match

[vestal ibex]

Wouldn't surprise me

[near furnace]

I might have to also set up some process monitoring in the future

[vestal ibex]

You can adjust the task in CCleaner still

Maybe set it so it runs once at logon instead of on a timer

[near furnace]

thing is just coz a window flashes, doesn't mean it's a maintenance task that would show up in task scheduler right?

could've been just coincidental (hopefully not the case hah)

[vestal ibex]

Correct, there's other ways to schedule tasks, including ways that are totally invisible to windows settings

[near furnace]

nice I'll check it out later then

I really should move to Linux 😂

[vestal ibex]

If it is one of those "stealthy" tasks you can disable the google update service exe in your startup settings

[near furnace]

as long as it's not malware hah

[idle dragon]

I'd appreciate if someone also helped me setting these things up in tiny11:

• dark mode in
• pin shortcuts to taskbar
• download a nice arm64 browser
• remove the texts on the bottom right "test mode, W11 pro, build n22621.ni_release..."

[cinder mauve]

I unfortunately can't help much with 2 and 3
But for 1
You can change dark mode in customization/appearances
For 4 follow the steps in the picture below

davinci is usually the go to. other than that I knew some people that used the free version of hitfilm but that will also have some locked features. not sure if there are any others that came out more recently

[idle dragon]

How could it be that a backup image made with Win32 disk imager of the default windows 10m on a lumia 950 weights 30GB? the os itself with the apps and photos is just 5GB...
Or is it like a 1:1 copy of the drive, even considering all the empty space?

[idle dragon]

Gotta transfer it to the Nas then because I already have few space on the Surface

[viral eagle]

Resolve is probably the best free (non-cracked) option. Features are locked but if you get good enough to truely need them it's only a one time purchase unlike Adobe products which require a subscription

Also Resolve is commonly used in the industry so the things you learn can potentially go on a resume/help you get jobs if you're going into that field

[fringe sandal]

Question if i do a clean install of windows do i still need to get rid of old drivers?

[vestal ibex]

No

A clean install removes the Windows folder where the drivers install to

[fringe sandal]

This includes gpu drivers and stuff

[vestal ibex]

Correct

[cinder mauve]

^^

[vestal ibex]

There now you don't need to bump it lol

[cinder mauve]

thank you

[near furnace]

When pressing[Alt + Tab], then release Tab but keep Alt pressed,
all windows blur, except the selected window

What do u call this feature ?
(Windows 10)

[wraith timber]

Glasses

[near furnace]

wasn’t that from window 7 Aero era hah

most places suggest “Aero Peek”
but the only place so far I found in windows enabling it has to do with that little button all the way to the right of ur taskbar

u hover over it and it would turn all open windows into see through boxes

but nothing to do with Alt tab behavior i described

[wraith timber]

Huh

[near furnace]

can u elaborate which part wasn’t clear?

[wraith timber]

I needa see how it behaves on my machine

[near furnace]

i see that’d be nice thanks

i remember discovering it one day, thought it was neat
especially if u have multiple displays that are physically far apart

so i could sit 3-4m away and tell what’s being switched to on the other TV

because all other windows are hidden

[ruby elbow]

Ok, so my friend got a new laptop and when he turns on his laptop it brings him to that. I told him to go through Startup repair and system restore but it says something went wrong without an error code. I don’t know what to do and haven’t found anything online

[near furnace]

he doesn't want to just return/exchange ?

[ruby elbow]

That’s what he ended up doing

[idle dragon]

Is it possible to use windows remote desktop if I've got two computers connected to each other via ethernet (cross cable)?

[vestal ibex]

Yes. Crossover cables are optional, modern ports are auto sensing. It's not like the old days trying to connect two Xbox consoles together for a small LAN party. For best results set your IP manually instead of the auto, link-local address it gives.

[idle dragon]

Do you know how to do all of this? Is it basically just the IP and then it's more straightforward..?

[idle dragon]

That probably explains why a friend of mine was able to transfer files between PCs with a normal ethernet cable, I was so confused because I always thought it wasnt possible and I always did it with crossover ones

[vestal ibex]

The feature is called "auto MDI-X" and it's been around for a long time. At least since base-100 LAN was still common.
You can just leave it at the default 169.x.x.x address but that won't be a static address (it might change on reboot/reconnect). You can set the address to whatever you like, 192.168.0.X subnet 255.255.255.0 (/24) is always a good bet. Easy to remember.

Looks like it was integrated into the 1000BASE-T standard, so most if not all gigabit+ ports should support it

Gigabit and faster Ethernet links over twisted pair cable use all four cable pairs for simultaneous transmission in both directions. For this reason, there are no dedicated transmit and receive pairs, and consequently, crossover cables are never required for 1000BASE-T communication.[8] The physical medium attachment sublayer (PMA) provides identification of each pair and usually continues to work over crossover cables as well, even if the pairs are unusually swapped, crossed, or if the polarity of a pair is unexpectedly inverted.

[scarlet creek]

i tried googling, but do you guys have any good software for ALT+TAB that only shows apps on the monitor you're using?

in this instance for a two monitor setup, i have spotify lyrics + discord opened 24/7 on my side vertical monitor, and don't ever plan on closing them. When I ALT+TAB on my main screen where Edge is, it still shows spotify + discord, how to not show them and only show edge?

[mental timber]

Is Windows 11 worth it yet?

[vestal ibex]

Worth the price of free?

It's at least not worse than 10, and 10 will be losing support in 2025 so you'll have to upgrade one way or another

[somber berry]

how can i get my windows to detect my new ssd m.2? i installed it in my 2nd port of my motherboard and it dosent show up, when i go to the manage disk app it asks me for a partition type to choose for it but idk which one to choose

[vestal ibex]

Just accept the default, gpt. Once you do that you can right click the unallocated space on the new drive and select "new simple volume." The defaults are fine if you're using the whole drive for one storage space. You can change the drive label if you like.

[scarlet creek]

i have 1 gig internet

using ethernet rn, do i turn on "metered connection"? does that affect anything

[viral eagle]

That's if you have a monthly data cap. Pretty uncommon for home internet these days

[scarlet creek]

i see, and any benefit of having wifi ON still? since i have ethernet connecftion now, wifi OFF or keep it on?

[viral eagle]

Probably doesn't matter either way

I guess off could be slightly more secure, maybe

[dire relic]

Anyone know where I could get a copy for windows 10/11 that’s legit but not $100+? Its been a while since having to do a fresh install

[wintry trout]

Hi, how do i fix my problem of "this pc doesn't meet the minimum system requirements" for installing windows 11 home. my parts are ryzen 7 7800x3d, b650 aorus elite ax and 2x16gb ram

[vestal ibex]

Make sure your bios is up to date.
If you're upgrading from 10, try the installation assistant from here. https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

If you're installing new, get the ISO file from that same page and create an install USB using Rufus. It'll ask if you want to bypass the system hardware checks when you start it.

https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases/download/v4.3/rufus-4.3p.exe

[viral eagle]

Get outta here scammer

[hallow aurora]

Someone able to help? Windows 10 corrupted, sfc scan stops at 78% Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth showed no corruption Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth stoped at 50 ish %. <-- what my friend provided. He can access desktop, no browser, settings ect. Can oddly access steam and play them, not discord.

[delicate onyx]

are you still having this issue?

[hallow aurora]

No

I just wiped pc

[delicate onyx]

Oh

next time let me teach you a trick to make it so you can replace all the windows files without losing any programs or data

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-run-in-place-upgrade-in-windows-11/4d469147-2747-4dcb-88a4-aae9273a4500

do an in place upgrade, you'll keep all your data except for windows settings, including programs

it'll "upgrade" to the same version and replace the windows files.

[delicate onyx]

Check to make sure your drive isn't in MBR, check to make sure TPM or FTPM is enabled as it's required for windows 11 as well

[wintry trout]

i just went in the files of the windows and added in somethings that disabled it

[delicate onyx]

Oh did you disable the check?

[wintry trout]

yea

[delicate onyx]

If you disable the check you may get a notice next time there's a major update, if you do just check the things I mentioned

those are the most common for false flags

[wintry trout]

we did what you listed and it didnt work

only thing that did was going in files and changing it

[delicate onyx]

As long as TPM is enabled and drive is in GPT, nothing should harm you from ignoring the check

I am curious what's causing it

[wintry trout]

idk just something it did not like

[tranquil cairn]

need help cant use any microsoft apps like minecraft bewdrcok and when i try to open it it gievs me error 800700e9 and when i try to turn on windows updates ( i turned them off when i did an optimization pack) it says acces denied
help

[cinder mauve]

Can anyone please explain what the System Volume Information folder is? Because everytime I format the USB drive on Windows 11 with NTFS that folder appears

[last gorge]

Why format a usb as ntfs though? Exfat is pretty standard for removable media so you can use with other non windows computers, printers, etc

[delicate onyx]

Did you disable windows delivery service or windows deliver optimization?

Those are required for updates and some games from the Windows store

[cinder mauve]

Even if I format it as exFAT this System Volume Information folder always exists

[vestal ibex]

That's part of how the NTFS file system works. It's a journaling file system, and the journal that keeps track of all the data is kept in that folder.

You normally can only see that folder if you tell file explorer to show protected system files

[dusky isle]

Hi, I just got a new msi gaming monitor (MSIG32C4W), and I used it on it's own for about 2 days, and I just plugged in my second monitor (C27F390). My msi monitor says that it can run up to 4k, but I just ran it at 1440p. It was fine till I plugged in my second monitor (made by Samsung) which has a max resolution of 1080p. After I plugged it in and my gaming monitor defaulted to 1080p and it doesn't give me the option to raise it anymore, while my second monitor says it can go up to 4K, but it physically can't. I think it might be that windows is confused or a driver issue I haven't come across yet. All of my drivers are updated. When you get the chance could someone troubleshoot this with me?

My msi monitor was running from an High Speed HDMI cable, but my graphics card only has one HDMI slot so I ordered a 4K Display Port cord and used that. And my second monitor is now plugged into the HDMI port because it only has a HDMI and a DVI port. I have tried witching where my Display Port cord is plugged into on my GPU but that didn't fix the issue either.

I assumed this is a software issue so I decided to post this here instead of #graphics-cards.

[vestal ibex]

Getting the monitor profiles mixed up would be a driver issue. Try DDU.

?ddu

[velvet mauve]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[dusky isle]

Ok. Thanks. I'll try that.

[dusky isle]

That seems to of fixed my issue. According to AMD Software Adrenalin Edition my msi monitor is actually 1080p.

And now Windows doesn't bug out and say that my 2nd display can go up to 4k anymore

😂

Thanks a lot dude!

I owe ya

[vocal hornet]

i need help and not sure which channel to ask in but sometimes when i start up my computer and log in everything is fine for about 1 minute and then after that nothing will open, i can onlly move my mouse and close apps. i cant even open home to restart my pc. i did find a workaround where if i restart task for windows explorer in task manager it fixes the issue until i turn on and off my pc, but im wondering if anyone knows a better permanant solution?

[vestal ibex]

Try running the fixes from the pins. SFC and DISM.

[vocal hornet]

i did this and nothing was found corrupt or anything

[vestal ibex]

Make sure all your drivers are up to date next. GPU, chipset, even WiFi. Any one of them can cause the kernel to lock up.

[vocal hornet]

how do i check my chipset drivers?

everything else is up to date

[vestal ibex]

Intel will have the drivers on your motherboard support page, AMD is here (it's the same driver package for all modern boards) https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am5/b650

[viral linden]

reposting in this channel: Curious if anyone else in here is into AI inference generation. Since a new PC is en route I'm wondering if I should set up a Linux OS (I'd like some of the familiarities of MacOS). Wondering if anyone has used this OS with stable-diffusion? Is it Linux fairly straightforward to setup? Does SD run well on it?

[last gorge]

linux is nice for tinkerers. most distros aren't as straight forward to setup if you are not already familiar with the OS. With that said a lot of people like to use experimental command line applications in linux. Idk how SD works with linux but immediately I'm seeing some people say it eats up a lot of space

[still marten]

My entire pc is read only, can't delete any files, and folders on any drive and external drives are all read only, unchecking them - does not help, and ive tried disabling anti virus, doesnt help, any advice? I was deleting some raw photos on my desktop and suddenly my delete key wouldnt work after the first batch, checked file permissions

[vocal hornet]

still having the same issue

also does anyone know a way to increse steam download speed? i know its not my wifi i just upgraded from a laptop to a pc and i was getting around 100mbps on my laptop but now on my pc im only getting 20mbps at most
or could it be my hardware?

[last gorge]

Could be the antenna location, wifi drivers. Something like steam will also depend on the drive speed as it has to write data

Wifi is usually prioritized in laptops as they are main source of internet for most laptop use cases

[idle dragon]

Id like to find a solution to a problem I've had since I had the 6950xt, in chrome browser I sometimes get complete freezes when I'm taking a screenshot (with windows capture thing, win+shift+s), now it started doing the thing with it videos when I set full screen. I know AMD doesn't have very stable drivers but I've tried a bunch of stuff that never helped, including driver updates and uninstalls (ddu), some settings in chrome but nothing.
It doesn't seem to happen anywhere else other than chrome so do you guys have any possible solutions to this problem?

[arctic verge]

Disable hw acceleration on chrome to see if it fixes it

If it does, then it's a GPU issue
If not, then something else is causing it prob

[idle dragon]

I disabled that some time ago but it did not help

A few months ago it froze for almost one minute, now it's usually just a few seconds.
But the freezing is not just the screen, it's the entire computer, I cannot move the cursor, audio stops playing...

Completely unresponsive

[arctic verge]

If you have he acceleration disabled, and only chrome has this issue, i would reckon that it isn't the GPU's fault

Have you tried reinstalling chrome?

[idle dragon]

Nope, but I guess that doesn't hurt
I'll reinstall it later

[arctic verge]

It's been a few months but have you done it? Maybe use an uninstaller program like Revo so it gets rid of the registry entries as well

[idle dragon]

It's definitely not he GPU fault, anything else is perfect, except Vulkan crashing sometimes but I guess that's game related

I also had an issue with the monitor not turning on some times but I'm not even sure if that's is GPU related or just something else

Oh wait there's also free Sync, I haven't tried disabling it, I probably should

[arctic verge]

Hmm

[idle dragon]

I haven't had the monitor issue in a while so it could have been drivers

[arctic verge]

i mean, games would also have issues if it were a driver issue probably

[ivory wave]

Not sure if Im in the right chat, but I just built a computer with my son. Am installing Windows 11, I can get the computer to connect to my wifi as part of the install. Shouldn't the computer automatically know how to serch for networks or may we have done something wrong during the build? Thanks

[arctic verge]

you'll need to install drivers for wifi

and you may or may not have wifi built in to the mobo

ah i see you asked in build chat as well

build chat would have been the better channel to ask for help regarding this type of issue, especially considering that not many people check these 3 channels in the os and software category

[sonic rose]

Does anyone know how to get windows 11 to stop installing and replacing AMD Gpu drivers that I installed with adrenalin?

What could be wrong with my wifi? I’m getting 300mbp download but .08 upload

[arctic verge]

even wired?

[tall shoal]

No, buts all of my devices have this issue and I was right next to the wifi box

[arctic verge]

hmm

so it's normal on wired, and only happens wirelessly

hmm

[tall shoal]

Idk if it’s normal on wire

I don’t use Ethernet

[arctic verge]

oh

[tall shoal]

I’ll prob just call the provider if it hasn’t fixed itself in a week

[arctic verge]

do you have any devices that you could use wired

[tall shoal]

No

[arctic verge]

oh well

the best way to diagnose would have been to have a device that could check if the issue was the wifi network, or if it is the connection from the isp, or if it's the modem or whatever

[vestal ibex]

How far from the router are you? It could be that the signal from the router (download) is strong enough to overcome any interference to the antenna, but the WiFi card and antenna aren't strong enough (upload) to overcome that same interference

I'd also recommend using a live Linux distro off a USB to see if it's an OS/driver issue

[tall shoal]

3feet

[vestal ibex]

Try the Linux USB then

And test with other devices on the network

[sterile drift]

Asking this question on the go so sorry if slow response, but I was wondering if I'd be able to use the same Windows 10 installation on my new build? I still have the packaging with the activation key, and I plan to use the same boot drive with windows already on it. I still have the old disc, but my new build won't have a disc drive.I was just looking at W11 pricing and saw it costs $130 so I'd love to avoid spending that if possible.

This is only my 2nd ever build so I've never dealt with this situation before

[vestal ibex]

Usually that works but if you're changing platforms, especially if you're moving to AM5, there's some bugs that can appear using an old windows install. The best way is to make sure you're signed into your Microsoft account, reinstall Windows, down into the same Microsoft account, and run the activation troubleshooter to transfer the digital license.

[sterile drift]

Ok rad, so I should just do a clean install? Cuz I am moving from an older Intel mobo to an AM5. My old windows thing is on a disc tho but hopefully I can just move it to a USB? Or does it have to be installed from the original disc for some reason?

[vestal ibex]

Clean install is best. AM5 has a bug where if you use an old windows install you can lose around 15% of your performance.
I recommend the windows media creation tool to make a USB.

[sterile drift]

Alright I'll do that then, I definitely don't wanna risk anything. Thank you!

[neat sigil]

so i recently got a new gpu and psu and now my mouse and keyboard lag. so when i type occasionally what i type doesnt go through and i have to wait a second and my mouse. when im moving my mouse on my mouse lags going from one location to another. its just enough to making a inconvenience. also when i load a game neither have a problem operating. any recommendations on how to fix this

[vestal ibex]

Did you run DDU before installing the new GPU?

?ddu

[velvet mauve]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[neat sigil]

well when i was looking for my old drivers to delete to make sure they were gone i didnt see anything so i didnt run a ddu

should i run the ddu and delete everything and start over?

[vestal ibex]

That's the route I would go yes. Have it delete all the drivers for AMD, Nvidia, and Intel (if you have an intel CPU or Arc GPU)

Then when you reboot you'll install the new drivers again

[neat sigil]

its a amd processor but a nvidia gpu

ill try that. thank yyou fal

[vestal ibex]

AMD and Nvidia drivers then

Good luck, let me know if there's any issues

[neat sigil]

[neat sigil]

so i deleted both drivers and redownloaded the correct drivers. it still seems to be doing it

its like its a input delay but both mouse and keyborad are wired. also its now happeing to my headset

i wonder if my usb ports are going out

[vestal ibex]

Ok, next I'd recommend updating your bios and chipset drivers

Chipset is here https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am5/b650

It's the same driver for all the AM5 platforms

BIOS will be on your motherboard support page

[neat sigil]

do i need to delete those too?

[vestal ibex]

No a simple update will do for those

[neat sigil]

heck ya

[vestal ibex]

You can tick the clean install box if you want

[neat sigil]

ill watch a video i have no idea how to do the bios and chipset properly and i dont want to mess it up

[vestal ibex]

Chipset is installed the same way as GPU drivers

Just download and run

[neat sigil]

oh ok

[vestal ibex]

BIOS you'll need a USB drive to extract the file to, and then you select update inside bios

[vestal ibex]

What motherboard do you have? I can grab a link to the right one

[vestal ibex]

Do you know if it's the rev 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2?

It would say when you open bios

[vestal ibex]

Based on bios version F2 I'd say you have either 1.0 or 1.1

https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_b550-ud-ac-1.0_f5c.zip

AMD had known USB issues like yours on older bios versions, and F2 is one of the oldest on that board. Hopefully this will fix it.

[neat sigil]

would you like to see the entire page?

would probably just make it easier

[vestal ibex]

Nah 1.0 and 1.1 have the same bios versions so it doesn't matter

[neat sigil]

oh ok thank you

[neat sigil]

ok so how do i do this?

[vestal ibex]

Do you have a USB drive handy?

[neat sigil]

no

[vestal ibex]

You'll need one to update with

[neat sigil]

alright

shall have to wait then

[vestal ibex]

You might be able to use the gigabyte software to update it without a USB. It's generally not recommended but if you don't have a USB it might be the only option.

https://www.gigabyte.com/Consumer/Software/GIGABYTE-Control-Center/global/

[neat sigil]

So I see a chipset driver update on it. Should I download it or just skip over it?

[vestal ibex]

The gigabyte software doesn't know about the latest version so it's often out of date. What you have is newer so skip it.

[neat sigil]

Whelp it ran it automatically

Well poop

Hopefully doesn't cause conflict

[vestal ibex]

It probably won't since it just runs the same installer in the background as you downloaded before.

And this is why it's not recommended to use the gigabyte software lol

[neat sigil]

Oh ok

[neat sigil]

downloaded and restarted. still doing the same thing

i feel like this is my life now

[vestal ibex]

What bios version does cpu-z say you have now

[vestal ibex]

Same version so it didn't update

[neat sigil]

all the updates its saying

[vestal ibex]

Ok so it might be that your board doesn't support updates from the app

So you need that flash drive anyway

Any old cheapo drive will work, small capacity USB 2.0 drives tend to work best for this even

But 8GB drives are good for having a windows installer ready

[neat sigil]

yea its saying that. ill pick one up tomorrow and try again

thank you for your help fal

[neat sigil]

so i updated bios with a flash drive and it stopped it for about 10 minutes but its right back to lagging

actually seems to be worse tbh

[vestal ibex]

I recommend reinstalling windows as the next thing then

[neat sigil]

updated windows. lost all my files. went to update my mouse drivers and fought with my pc for 50 minutes just getting the use of my mouse back. finally got it back and now the lag is worse. i hate it here

[neat sigil]

I've tried enabling my xmp and disabled my disabled my global c state control. Still nothing. I'm reading that a new hdmi cable might work so I'll try that next but with the current freeze I'm not going anywhere. Any other recommendations are definitely welcome

[vestal ibex]

Ouch, we could have helped with the windows install so you didn't lose files.
Since the issue only started with the new GPU installed that would be a good place to start hardware troubleshooting. If you have another PCIe slot, move the GPU to that and see if you still have problems.

[neat sigil]

I'll try that

I'm just unbelievably frustrated

[scarlet creek]

has anyone's monitors just dont turn on (black screen) after you wake up a pc from sleep?

it happens time to time (randomly) when i put my pc to sleep, or pc goes to sleep after the set time

pc goes to sleep -> i move the mouse and pc turns on, pc is on but monitor dont detect anything. Turns PC off and on, monitor detects pc and turns on.

[vestal ibex]

Sounds like your monitor or GPU doesn't like that sleep state. You can mess with the sleep power settings to find the one it doesn't like or just don't use sleep mode.

[scarlet creek]

when i put pc to hibernate, it does that sometimes too

[scarlet creek]

the thing is, it sometimes does that, and sometimes doesnt

if i put pc to sleep now and wake it up, everything is normal

but if i put pc to sleep now and wake up the pc like 2 hours later

it either

1. normal stuff
2. monitor is black screen and pc is on

[vestal ibex]

Could be S0 (modern standby) state, that's known to cause a few problems

[scarlet creek]

how to fix?

[vestal ibex]

Bios settings. The names of the different states vary by board model.

You can see what states are enabled by running an admin terminal and entering powercfg /a

[vestal ibex]

You only have S3 available right now, and it seems hibernation is disabled too.

[scarlet creek]

so... what's s3

and for s1,2,0 not available... is that normal?

[vestal ibex]

You can try enabling other states in bios like S2, S1, or S4. The first 2 are alternate sleep modes and S4 is hibernation.

Exactly how will vary by motherboard

[vestal ibex]

They're not usually enabled by default. S0 sometimes is default enabled on newer boards.

[scarlet creek]

so to prevent black screen from wake, do i enable all sleep modes in biois

bios

[vestal ibex]

That's one way to go about it. I prefer a more methodical approach to figure out which state works best.

[scarlet creek]

oh that's weird wtf.

[vestal ibex]

Huh, that is weird indeed

[scarlet creek]

i have this same configuration, seems like other ppl also experience this

[vestal ibex]

You have that same ASRock X670E PG Lightning?

[scarlet creek]

i have asrock x670e Steel Legend

[vestal ibex]

I'm not too familiar with the bios on ASRock

But I can try to find screenshots to find out what they call things

[scarlet creek]

ok the thing is

this reddit thread ppl are saying they dont have the sleep option in windows

i do

[vestal ibex]

Yeah it doesn't sound like an identical issue

[scarlet creek]

but the sleep funtion is just 50% of the working and the other times black screen of death until i hard restart pc

[vestal ibex]

It looks like there's some C state options under Advanced>CPU Configuration

[scarlet creek]

hmm

brb gonna go into bios

[vestal ibex]

Welp looks like they changed the bios so I have no idea where they moved the options

[vestal ibex]

That would be state C3 and C4 for deep sleep

You can try it if you want

[vestal ibex]

S4 and S5

[scarlet creek]

doing that removed everything below it

trying to find C state rn

[vestal ibex]

Probably because it automatically disables them all

So with deep sleep enabled it'll replace hibernation mode with a "deeper" low power state

[scarlet creek]

well it’ll take some days for me to figure out if the black screen persists

for now i’ll use my pc like normal

[neat sigil]

switched the slots and im still getting lag input

[vestal ibex]

Ok, do you still have the old GPU?

[neat sigil]

sadly no

Is there a way to transfer an app's data from a phone to another if no backups / google play games is supported?

If android yes should just be able to plug into a pc and find the actual files

Dont applications store stuff in many different folders spread around the phone's mem?

Id like to transfer some data from apps like 4=10 (game) but im not sure what id need to copy over to the new phone

thanks Pato for sharing

Anyone knows how i can restore Windows 7 Embedded defaults if i'm locked out with no psw? some suggest to try stuff from safe mode but i cannot access it even by shutting down multiple times as windows starts

[spice beacon]

It's quite a nice tool so thought it'd be handy

[idle dragon]

If i set a password for my windows 10 pc, anything happens if i then get it wrong too many times?

[vestal ibex]

It might lock you out of your Microsoft account but normally you can just wait out the retry timer.

[idle dragon]

With lock you out, you mean you have to log in again after accessing the pc?

Retry timer is always the same or does it increase?

[vestal ibex]

I don't know, I usually just reset my Microsoft account password from my phone before it gets that far

[idle dragon]

What if someone else tries to access it many times? And im not aware that theyre actually trying to access my pc

[arctic verge]

local system accounts dont have a lockout

unless you set a group policy

there may be a short temporary lockout to slow down brute force attacks but im not even sure if those even exist

i dont think even win11 has lockout

[idle dragon]

I've seen a video online and apparently it just tells you to restart or asks for a sort of captcha before trying again

Ill keep googoling because i dont want someone to completely lock my pc because they try wrong codes too many times

[arctic verge]

At least for 11

spammed the wrong password a bunch of times, asked for captcha, then did it again, then it tells you to restart

unless you have bitlocker enabled, i dont think windows has a feature that permanantly locks you out of your computer

unless you set it to

and unless you have drive encryption/bitlocker, then you'll be able to recover your files anyways without logging into windows lmao

just plug the drive into another computer

and even if you do, as long as you saved the key somewhere safe, you would still be able to decrypt the drive and get your data back

not really any reason for windows to permanantly lock you out

[idle dragon]

Thanks pal, i dont use bitlocker so i guess I'll be safe if I set a pin or psw for my pc.

[idle dragon]

Is it actually important to often reset CPU uptime in windows?
Idk if ill get any benefits, and the only way i know of doing that is by disabling fast startup, however that requires 6-7s more for boot time.
Does it really help in any way? Fast startup or slow startup?

*slow normal

[vestal ibex]

On modern systems it doesn't do much

[idle dragon]

Thanks, i will leave fast startup enabled

[sterile drift]

So I finished my new build today, but I'm reusing an SSD from it, and was asked this upon trying to set up Windows 11. I had preemptively moved a bunch of stuff to the drive I was keeping for safe storage, and I'm I'm not really sure what to lick here or what overarching effects it'll have on anything.

The SSD from my old build is not the one I'm using as a boot drive, in using a fresh one for Windows.

[viral eagle]

Id boot and setup windows with only the fresh drive, then later plug in the older drive

[sterile drift]

I clicked the bottom option and got everything running now with no issues but ty though

[arctic verge]

Personally I leave it disabled

If ssd systems

I have no source for this but I feel like it's probably more stable to not use fast startup; maybe it makes no difference but eh

10 seconds more of less than a minute of boot time is still a short amount of time

Esp compared to when I was using a HDD system

[brittle heart]

Ive gotten 4 blue screens in the past 3 days, It used to be only once or twice a month so i didnt bother fixing it but its getting anoying now

ones ive gotten are

UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

Memory_Mangement

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

andd i dont remember the other one

anyone know what i can do to fix this

[mint wigeon]

run a system file check

open command prompt as admin and type SFC /SCANNOW

@brittle heart

[brittle heart]

like so?

[mint wigeon]

yes

shoud tell you if u got currupt files or something

[vestal ibex]

Zip the contents of C:\Windows\Minidump and message it to me, I'll analyze the crashes and try to find a cause. Memory management makes me think the memory is either bad or you overclocked it and it degraded.
There's no personal info in the crash dumps if you're worried about that.

[brittle heart]

i get this when trying to zip it

[vestal ibex]

Ok, I have a little puzzle for anyone interested. My house has 400mbps internet.
I had gotten the full 400 in the past, but then it was stuck to only 100. I thought perhaps the cable (cat6) had been damaged, but later I was getting 400 again.
Right now, I'm only getting 100mbps, but strangely I can run multiple downloads at that speed without them slowing down. Nevermind, the PowerShell just wasn't reporting the speed right.

still only getting 1/4 the speed I should be though.

[arctic verge]

Could be the ISP, could be something in your network; best way to test is to do a speedtest connected directly to the modem/ONT transceiver

[viral eagle]

I should add that other devices on the network are getting full speeds

[arctic verge]

Hmm

Is your cable routed through the wall, or is it somewhere that it may get crushed or pinched

[viral eagle]

not in a wall, it does have some turns in its routing but they are consistent/static

[arctic verge]

Hmm

Try plugging another device into the same port your device is using, to see if you get 400
If you do, then it's either the cable or the nic

And you can isolate the cable by using one of your other devices to test that cable to see if you get 400

[noble pecan]

Hi everyone

[arctic verge]

Or if that's too much effort, you could try reinstalling the driver for the nic; just make sure to download the driver package before uninstalling to make sure that you're able to reinstall (though the windows driver should work for a wired connection tbh)

[viral eagle]

yeah my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port but might be able to borrow someone else's

[noble pecan]

Anyone had a problem with G.SKILL Flare X5 Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 compatibility with tuf gamig x670 e wifi plus, first run it as expo 1 but took too long to start , some time it block and don’t turn on, but when i run it as expo 2 it run normal??

[arctic verge]

Just unstable prob

[noble pecan]

What do you mean plz

[arctic verge]

You are basically overclocking your ram with preset profiles

Some systems might not like the timings and be unstable

[noble pecan]

So do you think it’s normal keep it or switch for another, fyi i have the R 7800 3xd and xr 7800 xt radeon

Sorry for disturbing you

[arctic verge]

Might be the cpu honestly

If it's stable on jedec, and is also stable on profile 2, then you're fine

Also you aren't disturbing me, you didn't even ping me at all lol

I was looking at the menu to order some food earlier

Feel free to @ me if you want me to reply within a few hours since I only check this channel every few days lol

[noble pecan]

🙏 thank you

Jedec?

[arctic verge]

Base clock basically

Or rather, the standard that jedec set

[vestal ibex]

That kit is known to sometimes need a little extra voltage to run at xmp speeds.
Also, it's normal for it to take 5-10 minutes to train, especially on older bios. Make sure that's updated.

[noble pecan]

The bios is up to date, just found that if i run it under EXPO 1 its start slow , but under EXPO 2 it’s normal

[sterile drift]

I'm having a really mildly annoying issue with Steam on my new PC. I had some games still installed one of my old SSDs that I'm reusing from my previous build, but for some odd reason the desktop icons have no...icon?

It's really just these 2 MH games. My friend mentioned this is normal for this situation, but she doesn't know how to fix it. I'd love to avoid reinstalling them if possible because I don't have the fastest internet really, and they're decently large games.

I also have them pretty heavily modded and don't want to go through setting up mod managers again if possible, especially not over something as silly as desktop icons 😭

One article I read mentioned verifying file integrity through Steam, but that didn't work at all.

[arctic verge]

the desktop shortcuts are just shortcuts; the will still work even without the icons. To restore the icons, for each shortcut, you right click, properties, and then click change icon, and then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam\games , and select the appropriate icon for your game. or as a meme, you could set them as something else as well

hope that helps

[junior elm]

Hi everyone

[sterile drift]

I saw this late but I've got it fixed now, thanks! And yeah, I know the desktop icon not being there doesn't affect anything, it just looks super ugly and it was bothering me 😭

[atomic galleon]

My computer is doing a weird thing where everything is auto scrolling down. But only in things like windows settings.

with my friends computer

during boot, it won't ever reach windows itll just restart

he can get into bios tho

we just installed a new graphics card and its being weird

[hasty smelt]

Havnt got my setup but r there any window keys that y’all trust for windows 11 that aren’t like 110

[vestal ibex]

Officially I can only say to get a retail key, gray markets aren't allowed here

Windows 10 keys do 100% work for activating 11 though

[hasty smelt]

Officially lol, thx tho

[arctic verge]

lol personally i just hide all my icons to keep a clean desktop, since i never use those shortcuts anyways

[wraith timber]

I use the start menu for all my shortcuts

Taskbar is a clean slate, desktop is a clean slate

[arctic verge]

fr

ok i do leave 2 things pinned on my taskbar

chrome and windows explorer

because those i actually need to frequently open

though i guess i could just press win + e

or dare i say, ctr + win + alt + shift + l

[wraith timber]

Lol

Firefox go in start menu

And win explorer just rmb start menu button

It's in the context menu

[idle dragon]

for what stupid reason does my chrome account sometimes change the default search engine to Yahoo wth...????

[arctic verge]

Oh hey

Windows 11 is going to have sudo

Or a command like sudo

So that you don't have to have an elevated window to do adminstrative commands

[vestal ibex]

I mean

That kind of already existed

I guess now it's just more than hackers that can do it

[opal venture]

I've changed hardware 3 times on one windows license, am I boned now?

[vestal ibex]

Nope you're fine. The digital license is theoretically infinitely transferrable now.

It's just it can only be activated on one device at a time

[opal venture]

I changed hardware on this device recently in the troubleshooter didn't work a while back. It told me I already reactivated on this machine or license already

[supple quartz]

I imagine this is a software problem so I will put this here Bluetooth is completely gone from my computer, for context I just updated my Bios(Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC) after realizing I was behind a few updates, but when I updated, Bluetooth is completely gone, gone from hidden devices in device manager, and the option under devices in settings is gone. Here are the things I have tried to fix it. Fix 1: Go to intel website and download Bluetooth driver. Fix 2: Gone to the gigabyte motherboard page and gotten the intel wifi drivers. Fix 3: Restart all bluetooth services. That is all.

[vestal ibex]

Try rolling back to a previous bios version, sometimes the latest has bugs

[opal venture]

I've removed all of the devices on my windows account. Do I need to reinstall windows to register my computer again?

[sharp snow]

hey guys so for the past few days I had a promt on when I clicked to shut down that said that there is something unsaved etc even though all my programs were closed so I clicked shut down anyways and like that for a couple of days I am not sure if this s the cause but my windows tools like the windows button/toolbar search/access to windows settings menu does not react as well as task manager not displaying processes it only shows the total usage of each component
So my question is how do I fix this?

[balmy grove]

there's no issues with your windows install

it's all expected behavior

as for the first "problem"

you can close any and all programs before shutting down

second is you have minimized task manager, or haven't changed tabs assuming it's the new task manager that comes with win 11

[arctic verge]

I just discovered that windows 11 doesn't support nic teaming or bonding

[sullen karma]

Id rather just use 10 over 11

[vestal ibex]

Support for that stopped in Windows 10 v1607, the late 2016 version. Even if you downgraded now to 10 it still wouldn't work without forcing an old version, which many drivers don't support any more.

[arctic verge]

oh well

tbf not much reason to have nic teaming on a client version of windows

[vestal ibex]

That's their argument yeah. It would still be nice as an optional feature for the pro or enterprise edition of windows.

But basically they're telling you to just get a faster nic card

[last gorge]

😦

[arctic verge]

does anyone know of any software for behind a NAT that checks your public ip if it has changed then can send a http request to dnsomatic to update the ip entry in cloudflare

well, the first part is the most important part

dont have any proxy servers, just behind a NAT

and the isp router for some reason only support DynDNS and noip

like brah

and to get a static ip, it would be $40/m more or smth like that

might be more, might be less

depends on how many ips you buy ig

[vestal ibex]

I just do a static IP on my VPN

[arctic verge]

that gives more latency though, and if i want to host game servers, that might not be as ideal i would think

[arctic verge]

oh i just found out that it seems like they already have a list

[vestal ibex]

The latency will depend on your VPN and where the server is. I chose one that's close to me so it only adds about 15ms of latency one way.

[arctic verge]

the links are dead lmao

for some of them at least

[scarlet creek]

how do i get windows to REMEMBER the settings i put for my L and R channel? every time i put my pc to sleep and wake up it resets back to 1:1. I want it to stay as the ratio i put it (example, 48 for left and 36 for right, etc)

[arctic verge]

none of them actually work anymore

it seems like i have to write my own script now

[arctic verge]

honestly a mystery to me as well, windows sometimes saves the settings, sometimes doesnt for me... not sure if it's the device's or window's fault

[scarlet creek]

😭

[arctic verge]

i have completed my script

it is working

or appears to be working

actually, i want to edit it

oh wait

nvm

cloudflare obfuscates my ip

i was going to change my script to check the ip of the domain using resolve-dnsname but that returns a diff ip

i just stepped on my phone because i forgot i dropped it and was too lazy to pick it back up lmao

anyways, the script is very simple

basically check my public ip using https://ipinfo.io/ip and storing it in a variable, sleeping for 2 minutes, check public ip again with that, store it in a variable, compare ip 1 and 2, and if it's not the same, then i send an http get request to the DNS updater which sends and API request to cloudflare to change my IP to the new ip

idk how often i'm allowed to query my ip with that site, so i'm doing 2 minutes so any occasional downtime wouldnt be too long

[arctic verge]

ok nvm it doesnt work properly, i felt like it was too easy and it was

my http get requests arent valid

how do i do https get requests properly with powershell

actually

a solution exists already for linux, i just didnt want to bother with installing more things to get it working on my pc at home, since wsl is disabled due to it not being compatible with vmware when i need to nest vms

[vestal ibex]

Ask chatgpt to do it

[arctic verge]

oh cloudflare is able to update it without a 3rd party service through the api

still a linux command but alot simplier

sobbing

[arctic verge]

ok it's been set up

next is setting up a reverse proxy, probably using nginx

i'll do that some other day

End Of General Availability of the Free vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 7.x and 8.x) (2107518)

As part of the transition of perpetual licensing to new subscription offerings, the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (Free Edition) has been marked as EOGA (End of General Availability). At this time, there is not an equivalent replacement product available.

For further details regarding the affected products and this change, we encourage you to review the following blog post: https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2024/01/22/vmware-end-of-availability-of-perpetual-licensing-and-saas-services/

no more free vmware

rip

[last gorge]

that's nice

[vestal ibex]

Virtualbox still works for most things

But not as good for XP or older

[arctic verge]

vmware vSphere specifically

vSphere is the baremetal hypervisor,

fairly commonly used in homelabs, since people use it as like, practice/experience before they actually do sysadmin stuff

which has been what i've been doing kinda

i've been slowly expanding the functionality of my home network with incremental upgrades

starting from the networking; making every device that supports a wired connection be wired

and turning old dumb printers into network printers using a raspi and CUPS

plan on adding a NAS or even a SAN so that i can move my spinning disks out of my desktop, because my desktop has such a tight fit in my desk that the vibrations of the HDDS, even with the silicone spacers still makes a vibration noise that reverberates through my desk and is quite audible without headphones on at least

or at least very noticable when im at my desk lmao

not sure if i'll use unraid or truenas

unraid can work with different size disks in the same pool afaik and truenas is better for SAN, so i'm not sure which one i should use

though unraid also has an iSCSI plugin from what i found in the forums

well, this will have to wait a while longer, since i need to get more money and time to do this

i wonder if the systems i have laying around are able to boot off usb

they both use ddr3 and intel cpus but i forget what ones they were

[last gorge]

I thought about using ESXi at one point. Now I just use a baremetal TrueNAS install with one VM

[vestal ibex]

Reject SAN, embrace JBOD

[vestal ibex]

Kinda? There's some system files in there but as long as you don't overwrite anything it should be ok

might mess with the registry a bit, idk

might be diff than my situation

i renamed the folder on my install and my system gets confused sometimes

[vestal ibex]

Make sure to backup any changes you make

[opal venture]

I see some sites listing OEM windows for cheap. Are those legitimate? Do we talk about them here?

[tall wraith]

Stay away from them if they’re greykey types.

[vestal ibex]

We can talk generally about them but no specifics and definitely no links. If someone wants to DM, that's outside our jurisdiction.

[viral eagle]

iirc OEM keys are typically not greymarket, they're extra stock

[viral eagle]

I can't speak for the legitimacy of any specific site but the keys are more likely than not legit, i.e Microsoft isn't gonna revoke it

[vestal ibex]

Technically you could call them that. What the sellers will do is set up a "fake" system integrator company so they can get bulk licenses for cheap from Microsoft, then they resell those licenses.

[viral eagle]

Oh, didn't know that lol

[opal venture]

and they pass the savings on to YOU

[viral eagle]

Part of the savings, yes

MS makes most of their license money from big corps so I personally don't feel bad about grabbing cheaper keys

Some greymarket stuff is more sus cause it's often bought with stolen CC info :(

[vestal ibex]

You see that most often with the $5 keys off ebay etc

Those get taken down fast too, for good reason

[opal venture]

How can I tell the difference?

Besides the price, I guess

[vestal ibex]

That's the problem, it's hard to tell. Usually a seller profile gives it away at least. On ebay the bad ones are usually hacked or new accounts. You can tell a hacked account when it's had no activity for a year and then suddenly they list thousands of obscenely cheap things.

Will notification history use any significant percentage of battery if enabled on a samsung s device?

[wraith timber]

probably not

s20 5g works fine with it

[idle dragon]

Thank you for the info

Just wondering because I really have to squeeze every last drop out of my s21 battery as it is quite small and badly optimized

[spice beacon]

Uh replace the battery?

[idle dragon]

it's new, the battery is just small. it's not like i can upgrade it

it still lasts through the day but i sometimes end up just a few minutes before bed with no battery

i also charge it to 85% max so that contributes to a lower duration

[wraith timber]

charge it when it needs a bit of juice

[idle dragon]

shoud use airplane mode sometimes, since poor network signal affects the performance

[wraith timber]

I go down to 50 up to 85 ideally but if I'm extra lazy I just let it drop lol

[idle dragon]

definitley, I was really used to my previous phone that lasted 3 days on a full charge

[idle dragon]

in some places it happens that the phone gets quite hot in my pocket, and when i check there's like a 30% drain in a few hours of standby

[wraith timber]

buh

I'm on 5g constantly because the wifi in this house sucks so I don't use it

battery doesn't drain that hard

[idle dragon]

you likely have good signal if your 5g is faster than the wifi

[wraith timber]

unless I have like youtube open in vanced and in firefox lol

it's alright signal but they're about the same in speed I think

[idle dragon]

i'm talking about places where i get Edge or 3G+

and sometimes just "No service available"

[wraith timber]

whomp

I just get lte to 5g ig

[idle dragon]

no 5G with my current plan, still not widely spread so there'd be no point to have it enabled anyways

other places, like at home, i can use lte and have my phone battery last much longer, til night or early morning

solution: probably airplane mode. i'll test it out these days

[wraith timber]

could also try the thingy where you update network list or whatever it is

idk maybe phones do that automatically now

[idle dragon]

what do you mean by that?

[wraith timber]

preferred roaming list and whatever else

[idle dragon]

Used airplane mode today for about 5h mainly when I had bad signal. Saved up a nice 30-35% battery.
Currently I'm at 40% but usually at this time I'm running low on battery, just above 10p

@visual crescent No piracy pls

Corporate server and all that. Can't have even the slightest appearance of Newegg supporting it.

[visual crescent]

Sorry and Apologises for the Mistake

[jaunty reef]

hey guys, my pc used to be able to connect via ethernet whenever I used to do Lan parties at mates houses. Long story short I'm wanting to get a more stable connection as I'm at the other end of the house, but when I connect my ethernet cable it doesn't connect nor does it even show the drivers or the "Ethernet" tab in settings

[visual crescent]

Make sure that ethernet port is fine,because at many times in plugging and unplugging the ethernet port becomes loose and at the end stops receiving responses.

Can you send the pic of device manager where it displays all drivers along with Ethernet?

[opal venture]

I got a notification in here, but There's no new post mentioning me. Someone must have broken the rules

[arctic verge]

have you gotten this resolved yet? check device manager to make sure that your adapter shows up on your device manager

also long runs of cable can get damaged by screws/nails if some installation was done, and can cause the connection to not work

[arctic verge]

Not sure if you can talk about that here; likely breaks YouTube TOS, especially since google got them to discontinue development

[vestal ibex]

I don't think it counts as piracy, YouTube just wants you to think it is.

[arctic verge]

It might or might not be piracy, but it's still a breach of terms of service

I wonder if discord bans people for breaking other services' tos

[wraith timber]

I will eat the mmmmm yummy term of service mmm

[viral eagle]

doubt it unless they have a server where it's being organized. Probably not feasible to track individual users

[arctic verge]

I mean if it gets reported

Discord doesn't really have a reliable method of tracking their own user's TOS breaches; they only know if someone snitches
But I wonder if they care about the TOS of other unrelated companies

From my knowledge it and revanced are both fine since modding for personal use is legal

I wouldn't worry about it

I don't think people here are going to mass report you

is there any way to reduce the amount of scans / background usage of windows 10 antimalware service? it's always running and using a significant amount of cpu resources when the pc is not being used activley

There's a way I know to stop it but not to reduce the amount of Scans...

As Windows always Scans time to time for malware detection

That's not normal, shouldn't be using that much, that might be cause for a reinstall of windows, but try the usual sfc and dism first
