Hi all,
I recently just clean installed a Gigabyte BRIX GB-BRI5-10210E mini PC with Windows 10 Home. Everything is up to date and the Windows build is 21H1 (19043.1202). The system is set to never...

Hi all,

I use Winkey+D a lot... but on my systems with a dual-monitor setup, it's pretty annoying that it toggles both monitors. Is there a utility program or a way for this to only toggle the...

Hi all,

I use the Intel Driver & Support Assistant to quickly check for Intel driver updates on my Ultrabook. I know I can dig for the drivers manually, but the tool makes it quick.

I need to...

Hi all,

I am looking for a replacement for my CrashPlan Unlimited subscription since they are ceasing consumer backup services. I need to back up 4 PCs.

So far, it seems that BackBlaze is the...

Hi all,

Just wondering where everyone here gets new OEM (or Retail) licenses for new system builds...

I generally get the OEM system builder's disc with license key from Amazon or Newegg, but...

What are we testing for now that there's a new drive, a new clean install, and everything is working?

Update..

I am on my 3rd clean install of Win10. Everything is working 100% and I didn't do anything differently, except this time, I am on a different SSD. The OCZ Vector doesn't report as having...

So, on the 2nd clean install, everything was working fine for over 8 hours. I had the basics re-installed set back up as I usually have things. I walked away for an hour, came back and Windows was in...

A) No, the system nor components have ever been overclocked.

B) Software RAID0 is setup for two larger HDDs, but they are not hosting the Windows installation or any applications, which are all on...

Hi all,

One of my custom build systems recently started crashing last week. It was probably once a day for a while, until the other day it wouldn't boot into Windows at all, even Safe Mode. No...

Hi all,

I am looking for a freeware utility or perhaps something with a small price tag that can search a folder, and return a list of subfolders that do NOT contain a specific file type. So, I'm...

Hi all,

I use Windows 10 on several desktops where I do not need or want the built-in Metro or UWP apps. Some of them can be uninstalled and others the Uninstall option is greyed out.

Is there...

I figured it out. I just disabled the WMI Windows Service and it skips the hardware check.. or passes it anyway.

All-

I am trying to upgrade a Windows 7 system that I know will run Windows 10. I downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and it won't allow it because the system reports 1.99GB RAM, when it...

Does any sort of program exist that can give a global view of all of the keyboard shortcuts that multiple running programs are "listening for"? Often, programs have the same shortcuts and overlap. So...

Hi all,

I'd say I'm "very experienced" or expert when it comes to networking, but my experience with wireless AC is limited. I currently have an Asus RT-N66U that I absolutely love. I do pro-AV...

Not exactly. Some of the stylus for iPad use Bluetooth to transfer pressure data, while the capacitive touch handles the coordinates. The Surface probably does have an active digitizer layer, but I...

Right, I'm aware of those.. The Wacom ones like the Surface Pro use a different kind of technology since it's built into the screen. I'm looking for solutions that work with standard capacitive touch...

Hi all,

I've been holding out for years now and I still can't believe that there aren't more or any manufacturers making good active Bluetooth stylus options for Windows systems.

I'm referring...

Hi all,

I'm only a part time computer geek (OK, so more than part time), but I haven't dived into Windows ICD or image deployment. I know you use ICD to customize a provisioning package or image,...

Hi all,

I just got a Dell Precision 7710. Naturally, the first thing I did is take the $2 HDD out and put in a 950 PRO NVMe SSD. Per something I read on a Dell document, I needed Intel RST RAID...

What about performance/stability?

Hi all,

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which uses HD Graphics 4400. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit. I noticed the drivers in the Windows Update channel are dated newer than what is on Intel's site and...

Yep, I did that until I started using True Launch Bar. Check it out. It has soo many customization options. Flyouts and submmenus are a huge space save.

Thanks for the info! But, for the record, I know what the things do. I simply don't understand why there is an option to turn off notifications from this program if it doesn't actually turn off...
