I have been trying to use the default Windows News and interests widget for taskbar (on the left next to the "Show hidden icons" button), but it has several critical bugs and problems. I've had it...
I have now finished the Ubuntu test. Which overrides the clean boot test. Because Ubuntu is super clean, ran from USB with nothing installed. All cables unchanged. Results: first day no crash, no...
I now filled the system specs for my desktop computer.
I guess the Windows 10 license is the least of the concerts, I can manage that. I'm now testing what happens when running Ubuntu and...
That SystemInfo.exe doesn't work for me. When launching it, it gives an error "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and...
I actually have done all of those just a few days ago. No difference.
Now I've ruled out BITS, it probably is not related. Because I stopped the service for that and that didn't make a difference...
Additional hint: it seems that the computer crashes specifically when waking up the computer, not before. The computer flashes the power LED when on S3 sleep. Then I press a button to wake it up....
If you have suggestions on how to minimize static electricity problems, I'm happy to try. I have this anti-static mat Buy Anti-static mat ESD 50x60cm at the right price @ Electrokit but I haven't...
Checklist:
Display driver installed many times over a long period of time, check.
Power cuts in my area are extremely rare, it's not that, check.
Paper clip test: I didn't dare try that yet....
I'm baffled how to troubleshoot this. Something happened to my desktop computer (Asus Z370-A Prime, i7-8700, DDR4 4000 MHz 3466 MHz, Windows 10 21H2) a few weeks ago. S3 Sleep used to work perfectly....
On my corporation managed laptop (ZBook Studio G7), on Windows 10.0.19044, SenseNdr.exe is almost always running at CPU 2 %, being the highest CPU consuming process by far. It looks as if Windows...
I haven't tried the HP forums yet, but HP support gave 0 help in practice. They did answer my calls, but in the end they didn't have any useful information, just general "update drivers" and other...
A (desperate) update to this issue:
I got the admin BIOS password for the HP ZBook laptop I'm using. And unfortunately [x] Extended Idle Power States setting was indeed a dud. It was supposed to...
For my use, I always need to have my Explorer and open/save window's file/folder columns like this:
Size, Date modified, Type (and view mode: Details)
Anything else is very distracting and...
Yes AMD Ryzen sounds the best to my ear. Thanks for the ThrottleStop undervolting tip!
It happens that I may have found a solution to my problem! It's unclear until I get the BIOS password (in...
Yes I have to try to get into BIOS. This is a corporate machine, I don't have the password for BIOS. But I will investigate that.
Meanwhile, does anyone know a fast new laptop that would...
On a Windows 10 21H1 computer I have a corporate installation with OneDrive set up to sync with the cloud. In the local OneDrive folder, almost all files have a brown briefcase icon, which means the...
I now tried what happens when downloading a large file in Chrome and with wget and then evoking monitor off. It worked. They both continued downloading during S0 idle.
TeamViewer goes offline as...
No, unfortunately the computer has no more network connectivity in practice than before the group policies. Just powercfg /a says differently, but that made no difference in practice. Although, I...
Thanks Denis, you are certainly very helpful. So far I have not witnessed anything that would work during S0 idle despite the high temperatures (but, I've had this computer for just 2 weeks and I...
Nice. I have some experience on WOL since it's so important to me and I've set it up on several computers. Also Wake on Wireless LAN (WoWLAN) does exist (both WiFi device as the magic packet sender...
Do you have wake by keyboard/mouse (and wake-on-LAN) working after Hibernate (on the S0 computer)? I couldn't get that working, at least not yet.
Also, I could not get wake-on-LAN working in the...
Ah yes, and now I tested what happens to temperatures on 45 minutes of "monitor off". The computer was semi-hot after that. I'll investigate about the watts and report later. Don't know if an...
If I understand correctly from what I read, USB keyboard and mouse should wake ... I mean bring the image to screen. On this new HP laptop (I tried installing all chipset downloadables etc.) there's...
Powercfg /a tells that the only supported sleep state is S0 Low Power Idle. That is a very confusing thing, I could not find satisfactory information by googling. Is that sleep state supposed to arm...
Now that I have used FreeFileSync multiple times, I have to say it's a fantastic program. Thanks a lot! (Of course it doesn't automatically start VPN, but that would not be difficult to start...
