    Lifelong windows users, did you ever consider buying an Apple computer? Windows Help


    Lifelong windows users, did you ever consider buying an Apple computer?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:39 PM PDT

    Im 35 years old. My dad bought the first pc when I was 10, so Im using windows since 25 years. I had every version, I come from a generation where getting acces to the internet was sometimes a multiple-hour, if not days task, until it worked. Kids today only type the WLAN key and theyre online, but thats another story.

    Did you ever consider buying an apple computer? I have to admit that they are perfectly designed, Macbook and iMac. But what about the software? Can you even work with it after 2 decades of windows?

    Windows Defender not Letting me Restore a specific file.

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:30 AM PDT

    Windows Defender mistakenly quarantined a file that I guarantee is from a trusted source considering said trusted source is me. When I went to the Threat History, and hit restore, it brought up the prompt to allow changes, I hit yes, and then nothing happened. The restore tab folded back up into the quarantined file, and it sat there. As an experiment, I allowed another quarantined file to be Restored, and that worked fine, it was restored. But this specific file refuses to be restored, no matter how many times I press the Restore button and allow changes. Any ideas?

    Chinese input not working

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:15 PM PDT

    My chinese input is not working at all, I have tried all the solutions online and none of them seem to work (register edit, uninstalling language, turning on the language bar, etc.) the only place my keyboard actually types chinese is in the windows search bar and nothing else. I have tried alt shift and everything but nothing seems to work, and I don't want to reinstall windows. Can someone please help

    Update: when I kill chinese input task, the language bar appears but when I switch to chinese, it doesn't let me

    Update2: i found that the fix was enabling touch devices in services, but i previously disabled it since every time i log in, the on screen keyboard pops up and i've tried everything to disable it and that was the only solution

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 04:42 PM PDT

    Fast ring has fixes to address all the nasty stuff that's been going around in the Surface line. Anyone know what to expect, for Surface users, in 1909?

    Itunes - Windows Store App version, not opening after 40-60 minutes of minimized Idle.

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:13 PM PDT

    I've been using the latest windows app version of itunes and when it's minimized for too long, it doesn't open when I click on the pinnned Icon on the taksbar. Is there anyway to fix this at my end or is it an app issue that needs to be fixed by apple?

    Skip Windows10 Installation Prompts/Screens

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:39 PM PDT

    Hey! Anyone know if/how you can skip past all the Windows 10 installation prompts/screens? E.g. connect to network, privacy checkboxes, keyboard layout, choose a local account username/password, etc, etc.

    Obviously this isn't a very clear or ideal feature for most, if it exists. I was thinking maybe a command and parameters or script that can be ran via command prompt/powershell which can usually be opened during the setup by doing WIN+Shift+ESC. At my job I go through the Windows 10 setup screen maybe 2-10 times a day and would be helpful if I could just type in a command or use another method. Any ideas? Thank you! :)

    Edit: May have found my answer here, but feel free to shoot away answers regardless. I'm very interested to know!!

    tl;dr: command, script, or other means that can be used to skip past all the prompts/screens for the initial W10 setup?

    I Don't Know Where Else To Post, Currently Backing Up All Files To External HDD

    Gaming Machine behaving badly (tl:dr below)

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:40 PM PDT

    Hi,

    so I've got my computer, self-built (fx 6300, GTX 1050 ti 4gb, 16gb Ram), for about 1 1/2 years now, and from one moment to another literally, no game runs anymore. They boot up properly, but on the second you're about to play the fps drop to ~1 (according to GeForce experience), it's totally unplayable.

    I've tried so far GTA V, Cities: Skylines, Minecraft 1.14. with shaders (crashed when tried to load the world) and Oxygen not included

    So I scanned the pc with Norton twice (also the power eraser thing) and cleaned up my drive a bit. Nothing.

    Before we left last week I played elite dangerous and everything was just fine. Then I arrived yesterday and was about to play of oni and it was just a disaster, as I said.

    I checked the device and Task Manager, according to them everything is ok.

    TL:DR

    My gaming Computer does not Run even the simplest Games from one sec to another

    So I'm looking forward to good help and thanks in advance

    can I use my windows 10 license and username on two different pc's?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:07 PM PDT

    Maybe I want to use one just for streaming or something and the other for cs go, how would it work? I don't want to manage two different users, since I am one (1) person.

    Corporate PC with limited user access - updating firmware from USB

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:11 AM PDT

    Hi. I have an HP x2 1013 g3 PC, which is fine but has some problems with the monitor.

    I am considering to update the BIOS, firmware etc. from a live USB windows 10 where I have all the access I need.

    Can this mess up my corporate installation of windows on the SSD which is installed using bitlocker?

    I wouldn't think so.

    But any guesses?

    W7 Volume GUI Not Matching Powerbeats3

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:32 PM PDT

    I use this Bluetooth dongle to enable Bluetooth on my HP. I am able to adjust the volume and pause on my Beats Powerbeats3 in Spotify on the laptop but I do notice that the Windows 7 Volume GUI doesn't change along with it. Is there anyway to fix this or is the volume just being locally adjusted on the headphones? Thanks in advance!

    Lost Windows 10.

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 12:31 AM PDT

    Back when Windows 10 was first released they gave out copys for free, my windows 7 computer had a prompt to install it (I made sure it was 100% genuine Microsoft product and it was) my computer ran perfectly for over a year until my brother downloaded some games which contained viruses and the only way I could fix the computer was to reinstall Windows, when I finally got around to doing so I couldn't find any mention of Windows 10 for free anywhere. I know it was a thing but idk what to do, is there anyway that Microsoft can help?

    After replacing GPU it is seen as Microsoft Basic Display

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:38 AM PDT

    Any help is appreciated, I have spent two days with no luck.

    CPU: Intel core 17-3740QM2.7ghz

    RAM: 16gb

    Bios: Alienware A15

    Operating System & Version: Previous windows 7 64 home, now windows 10 64 version 1903(os build 18362.418)

    GPU Drivers: Nvidia Geforce GTX 860m replacement for GTX 675M

    Description of Problem: After replacing the GPU I noticed that in device manager it was listed as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. I figured my drivers were out of date so I attempted to install new ones from Nvidias site. I received this error message https://imgur.com/a/Vjg5JWW. My driver is listed in the Bios setup screen under discreet drivers as Nvidia GTX but I can not get my pc to recognize it which i believe is a driver issue, and I cannot solve this issue by updating my drivers.

    Troubleshooting: I installed and updated windows 10 to its current version with no success.

    I attempted to clean install my drivers using DDU with safe mode and toggling off Microsoft installs, and the same error messages.

    Update: I preformed the steps on this guide. https://www.igadgetsworld.com/how-to-nvidia-graphics-driver-can-not-find-compatible-graphics-hardware/

    Using the Driver provided by user 4wh457 I as able to get past the security compatibility for the first time but after trying both custom install and express install, both failed.

    Best Game Clip Software

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 10:09 AM PDT

    So I'm trying to find an application like Medal or Plays that, when a hotkey is pressed, will record the last 15 seconds of gameplay. The problem with those applications is that they don't support all of the games that I play, so I was wondering if there was a software like those two that supported all games, or something along those lines.

    ~20 years of Apple juice, maybe it's time for something else? Convince me.

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:37 PM PDT

    Hello friends! I've been deep in the Apple ecosystem for a long time, almost 20 years. I use a '15 MBP 2.4Ghz 4core-i7 w/16GB Ram and a 650GTM. My laptop is aging and I figured that it's about time to pull my head out of Apple's ass to see what else is out there. I'd buy another MBP but I hate the butterfly keyboard, the touchbar is poop, and a $3K price tag is silly. I feel super cozy under my Apple blanket, stuff just works, however, I've been looking at the new PC offerings, the Surface Pro X and 3, XPS machines, etc, and am intrigued. Is it worth the switch? Are the new laptop/2-in-1's worthwhile? How do I really compare the two?

    • I'm a designer/coder/3D enthusiast. I use Figma, Sketch, Blender, Unity, edit video, etc.
    • I have iPad Pro and iPhone X—is adding Windows to the mix going to make my life hell?
    • I haven't hit walls with my current machine (video editing, Unity dev, Blender, Pshop, etc) and am pretty sure I can squeeze another 2 years out of it for a total of 7 years. Will I get that kind of lifespan out of the new PC laptop/2-in-1 options? Upgrading every 2-3 years is not desirable.
    • How does 10 compare to Catalina?
    • I'm not a desktop gamer but would like to render 3D with relative ease.
    • I design/build iOS apps, what kind of hell am I introducing into my workflow if I have a Win machine?
    • Viruses, bloatware, and all that stuff—haven't thought about those in a long time, what am I looking at here?

    A little help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
