Yeah, I've read all those MS docs describing Modern Standby, and many more including MS troubleshooting docs. What's supposed to happen when Modern Standby is initiated is that the system completes...
Huh? S0ix is the new (replacement for) S3, claimed by MS/Intel to be much lower in energy consumption (certification standard is 5% battery over 24 hours). I would imagine that if I select "sleep"...
I believe SleepStudy is reporting that my device is entering sleep but is not achieving low power mode. Here is a 12h48m sleep session in which zero percent of time was spent in low power state and...
I'm looking to create a new user on my laptop (20H2 Pro x64) and copy over a bunch of settings and documents from the old user account, and then eventually delete the original account. I seem to...
Yeah, I get that; I'm not expecting high-end or even middle-end performance. But HD 620 graphics are only used in mobile processors, so if my system's benchmarks are being compared against other HD...
Various benchmark programs say that my GPU is performing very, very poorly for what it is (which is a fairly-weak-to-begin-with integrated Intel HD 620 graphics). So I'm wondering if it is kicking...
Okay, I downloaded the latest GPU driver from Intel. After I installed that, now the Intel Driver & Support Assistant works; it's already alerted me to a couple of updates that Windows Update didn't...
Yep, clean install from USB. I deleted the existing partitions and let the Windows installer create what it needed.
Thanks, that's good to know. Since you have a similar setup, can I ask you about a related topic? I occasionally have very slow SSD access so looked in Device Manager at the IDE Controller and it...
I'm setting up a new-to-me laptop with 7th generation i3-7100U with 620 Graphics, Win10 Pro 2004. Windows Update installed a new graphics driver, 27.20.100.7990 and doesn't want to update it further....
It's an HP Pavilion 15" X360 bk163dx, and you're correct it does use UEFI not BIOS. The SSD uses GPT, as did the original hard drive that I replaced.
It's a laptop; there's no additional hardware installed or connected.
The SSD is a Sandisk Plus SATA, SDSSDA-120G-G25
The SSD firmware is up to date; that was actually one of the things that I checked when the first install produced a brutally slow system. It's currently running with chipset drivers that got...
I booted off the USB installer, selected Advanced, deleted all existing partitions on the SSD, then allowed the installer to do its thing.
I just swapped a working SSD into my newly acquired (used) 7th generation i3 laptop, then did a clean install of Win10 Pro 2004 from USB and ran Windows Update until it found no more updates. I ended...
As recommended here Boot problems. : windows I booted with Macrium Reflect recovery and ran "fix windows boot problems." Fixed it in 10 seconds. This, after spending all day failing to fix it with...
Just a few days ago I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1903 (i.e., deleted all existing partitions from within the installer and let it proceed using the entire disk). I've had a couple of...
Yes, that's it; thanks so much, Ken! I don't know, I may have even enabled that intentionally not knowing that it would have this effect. I've turned it off for now, but maybe will re-enable it...
I can't put my finger on what triggered this, but I get an error message whenever a recently installed program tries to write to my Documents folder or Desktop folder (built-in Windows programs and...
Nothing after 1703 installs successfully on my computer, so I'm still on 1703 with Update set to "current branch for business" and "defer 365 days". But it still keeps trying (and failing) to install...
Hey, thanks Helmut and Geneo; I guess this just shows how long it has been since I've had a computer with a spinning HDD as its primary drive. How did people ever put up with this? But y'know, even...
I'm playing tech support for a relative, and her (ASUS K53E) laptop SATA HDD has insanely slow random read/write. Sequential r/w is around 74 MB/s, which seems fine, but random is around 1 MB/s. Hard...
Yes, I have it on a flash drive.
Is there a simple explanation for what this COM Security change actually does? I'm just a bit reticent to change something called "security" in a way that grants...
Step 8 by itself doesn't fix it for me; my question is whether steps 1-7 are safe (system stability, system security)
