| Need help with Windows 7 laptop waking to "start windows normally, etc." screen Posted: 02 May 2019 04:31 PM PDT My son has an HP Pavilion Windows 7 Pro laptop and it's recently started doing this thing where every single time he opens the lid to wake it, it starts with the screen that says windows did not properly shut down and gives the choice of start windows normally, etc. When you pick to start normally, it does. I've googled it like crazy, but can't find any good answer on why it would be doing this. He hasn't installed or changed anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Windows 10 Battery charging limiter Posted: 02 May 2019 04:29 PM PDT hi guys. First, sorry for my english, as it isn't my first language. I'd like to know if someone knows an app or a program on windows 10 that limits the percentual of battery that mmy laptop can charge. For example: instead of charging my laptop always to 100%, charge it only until 80%. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 May 2019 03:58 PM PDT I wonder if 1903 will fix the randomly disappearing Start icon. It doesn't really cause problems. You can still click it. You can still hit the Start button on the keyboard. The icon just goes away. A logoff/login solves it, or a reboot. It's not a problem, and I'm not looking for tech support. I'm just wondering if 1903 will fix this stupid bug. The bug used to disable access to the Start Menu, which made things interesting, but it hasn't done that in a while. My wife's taskbar has no Windows icon on it, and if she even noticed, she hasn't said anything. She really doesn't use it, just pins what she needs to the taskbar and has a bunch of shit on the desktop. Probably hasn't noticed. I noticed and I'm halfway across the room, and I wasn't even shoulder surfing. I'm on the laptop, looked over, and thought, "huh, start button's gone again." Next chance I get, I'll log her off and she'll get it back. [link] [comments]  | ||

| I paid for Sea of Theves, but the windows store is ripping me off! Posted: 02 May 2019 07:30 PM PDT I bought sea of theves, and now I can't install it! Windows store isn't even on my computer anymore. Basically all I want to play right now on my computer is sea of theves. So if anyone from windows is reading this, please refund my computer because it's basically useless right now. If you need proof, just comment about it and I'll post screenshots. -Thanks, -A faithful windows user of many decades who feels betrayed by windows abysmal service. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Windows 10 won't recognise an external usb3 drive formated with Linux Posted: 02 May 2019 09:41 AM PDT The drive has a mbr partition table, is 4tb large, works fine on linux, but windows says that the partition is raw.
How can I fix this without having to reformat the drive and load all of the data again? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 May 2019 05:02 PM PDT Sort of an update from last time, but I got it to go through and let it sit through the night. When I woke up it was black screened, but I ignored it. 12 hours later after I'm home from school, black screen. What should I do? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/563086917835423745/573660474000801802/image0.jpg [link] [comments]  | ||
| windows 7 screen goes black and then shows lock screen Posted: 02 May 2019 04:30 PM PDT I have a windows 7 computer that I am working on. At random times (about 1 time an hour sometimes 2) the screen will go black for 3 seconds (sometimes 2 seconds) and when the screen lights up again the lock screen is showing. It hasn't fully logged the user out because any programs that were running are still running. I just have to log back into the profile. I have tried running norton anti virus and doing a full scan. It did find a couple of problems (sorry I can't remember what it found) I had nortons fix those problems. The computer still would go black. So I created a norton anti virus bootable jump drive from a different computer. then booted the windows 7 computer from that jump drive. I found these issues when I did: (All were listed as High risk) bejeweled3-WT.exe Chuzzle Deluxe-WT.exe cradleofrome2-WT.exe Polar-WT.exe RCT3plus-WT.exe obviously fixed those problems. and ... you guessed it .. upon rebooting the computer into windows 7, within an hour the screen went black and dropped me to the login screen. Does anyone have any theories on what might be causing this behavior in my friends computer? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Windows Hello is so annoying... Posted: 02 May 2019 01:43 PM PDT I have one problem: I have a Thinkpad with a fingerprint reader and if I use it, on login the first thing that appears is to scan my finger instead of showing me the option to enter my pin or password which is really annoying when I plug it on my desk with my lid closed.

| Every New Iteration of Windows Results In Less User Control Posted: 02 May 2019 12:12 PM PDT I recently got a call from a former employer. They are a charity that does biological research. They have a few decent servers, but the majority of their work is done on donated workstations (sometimes powerful multi-CPU models, sometimes not so great) to analyse genomes. If you've never seen a genome, each sequence results in TB's of data and it takes a long time to run. Weeks, on some of the more complicated runs. When I worked there, we disabled the Windows update services, as a reboot at the wrong time would invalidate the analysis and force the job to be redone. They would take each machine down for maintenance on a schedule, update them, then turn off windows update before putting them back into production. The call I got was from one of the scientists telling me Windows Update service had turned itself on and had rebooted all of their machines. Weeks, if not months of analysis had been wiped out and as a result of not being able to post results, a quarter million dollar grant payment was under threat. I helped them out and made sure the services would not turn on again (no, I am not going to tell you what I did because I don't want MS to generate a workaround and screw my friends over again), but this got me thinking. Windows is no longer an operating system. An Operating System is passive. It sits idle, until the user tells it to do something. If not actively processing a job, the CPU % will be in the low single digits. The latest versions of Windows are not passive. They actively collect telemetry, scan / index files, run background tasks, record where you go on the Internet, who you speak too, where you shop, what you read, add new "features" without consultation and basically do what unnamed MS engineers want them to do with little to no input from the people who actually own the hardware. Nor is it Application Software. By definition, Application software performs a group of activities that benefit the user. Obviously, if businesses are being threatened with heavy financial losses, there's no benefit to the user. No, today Windows is effectively a Trojan Horse. It pretends to be an OS, but in reality that's a facade as it does it's own thing (often unacknowledged) in the background. It runs tasks that the highest privileged admin cannot stop, disable or remove. It uses resources without owner permission and stores unwanted files (Side loaded apps like Microsoft.ZuneVideo, Microsoft.XboxApp, Microsoft.OfficeHub, etc.) that benefit Microsoft and not the end user. Why these programs are needed on Enterprise licensed software is just a testament to a monopoly gone mad. Side note: The next version of Windows, 1903 will use an additional 7GB of space for unspecified reasons. Assume an average medium sized company with 100 PC's and that's a total of 700GB of space consumed for Microsoft's benefit, not yours. These sideloaded programs cannot be removed with built in programs. Yes, you can "uninstall" a program with Windows, but all it does it delete the shortcut to the program. If you log in as another user, you see the 'uninstalled' program waiting for you. You need to use complicated Powershell scripts to get rid of them which are well beyond the average computer user. And even if you do manage to remove them, the next series of Windows updates will reinstall them. That's your bandwidth, electricity and storage, that you paid for, being used to generate profit for another company. Your personal data has value. Corporations need to make more money than the previous year, or people get fired. Combine those two concepts and you can see how this parasitical behavior will only get worse. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 May 2019 08:03 AM PDT Hey, everyone. I want to install Windows 10 on my machine but I can't afford the price of a new key. I've heard that you make install it with a USB stick and use your Win7 key and it will work fine, but I just want to confirm this before going through with this. Does anyone know if this still works/worked at all? Edit: Is it also possible to just upgrade straight to Win10 without needing to use the flashdrive or is that a crucial step?

| Posted: 02 May 2019 07:50 AM PDT So, a customer contacts me and says these files have gone, I log on expecting to search the PC and find them somewhere else or find them in the Bin.... but no.... If I open Excel I can see the file in recent files. Click it and it tells me its missing. Right click and open file location and nope its not there. It was stored in G:/Users/User/Documents/Excel Files - Other files still in there but these 3 random files have just gone. One has not been opened for over a year but one was opened monthly. Excel is logged in via Office 365 license and she also has a personal one drive on the PC. Have looked in both One Drive areas with no joy. Have run 3rd party software that looks for files, no joy, have run data recovery on windows with no joy. She's a residential customer so its not business critical or anything but its a family tree she has been working on for years so I really want to help her but have drawn a blank! Anyone had this before? Have any ideas what to do? [link] [comments]  | ||
