Best of Luck on Debian 12.1, it is supposed to be great. Windows 10 Pro will be the last version of Windows I ever use, unless Windows 12 removes all the spyware/adware/bloatware. Microsoft is...
MarieSWE: +1000, I use Linux, but there are just things that Linux never fixes, the Devs (especially Gnome) never listen, and while Windows has become adware/spyware/bloatware to the point I blocked...
I have to completely agree with MarieSWE. I once did not backup and had a massive kaboom on the system and lost everything. Now I have two backup disks, one in the computer, and one external. I...
Thank you!
Thats it! It says I cannot even activate and use it until I set up a Microsoft Account. I had to call tech support to get it to work. Tech support said that they no longer allow a local account...
My versions are on the card you get at Best Buy, and they all require a Microsoft account to even run. This annoys me, and I would like to be able to load a local account only. So I am using my old...
I just want a local account. It gives me at least the illusion of control.
I am already 100% Linux on my laptops, I only keep one Windows machine around for gaming, iTunes, and Photoshop. I need those programs for various reasons. I do not want the spyware/adware...
I have several devices that have Windows 10 Pro, and I keep getting full page demands that I "upgrade" to Windows 11, not going to happen. I have solid systems which are locked down, minimal spyware...
I never save to the cloud or one drive, and it forces me to have a Microsoft account to load. I always purchase the stand alone version since I refuse to pay yearly, and want software that I control...
I have the same issue, I do not want a Microsoft Account at all. Is there anyway to install Office without one just a local account?
That was the strangest BIOS update I have ever done. The machine would turn OFF everytime I saved the new bios, and would not boot into an o/s. Finally it decided that it would work. I am keeping...
I have never had this issue before. I updated my Crosshair VI Hero (non-wifi) board to the 7501 bios, and it bricked the machine. Told me that there was no operating system installed. Then after...
I had to update the BIOS on two machines (my wife's Ryzen 7 HP laptop, my youngest daughter's HP Spectre x360 15) before I could get the update to install on their laptops. Make sure you have the...
I use Task Manager all the time, I have it start when my machine starts.
I know this is going to sound silly, but my favorite new feature is the ability to start Task Manager in the performance tab.
I can't remember if the BIOS update was around that time. Boot racer has gone nuts claiming that I had a boot time of 18 seconds, but that is not right, it took just as long as it has been taking. ...
I am so very happy you chimed in. Thanks, I will see what I can do. As always, I appreciate all the help you gave me back in the bad motherboard days.
Yes, I have updated the BIOS on the Crosshair VI Hero motherboard. I had a blip the other day, and had to go back to defaults. It is weird Bootracer now claims that I booted in just under 19...

On 5-14-18 I noticed that my boot times went from 28.734 seconds to 73.343 seconds. This started after the 1803 update was installed on 5-4-18. Boot racer shows that Windows boot time has shot...
thanks. I'll do that.

Yeah, they have nothing, which is why I tried here.
