    Windows locking refresh rate

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    So right now i have a 144hz and a 60hz monitor and i play on the 144hz and have obs on my 60hz and it locks my 144hz monitor to 60hz. My question is if i get a third 144hz and put my obs on that would it fix or would it just put it to the 60hz of my 3rd monitor? Also if you know a fix please tell me so i don't have to buy another monitor 😂

    Help with resetting my Windows 7 laptop

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 04:43 PM PDT

    I was trying to factory reset my computer and noticed the option to do so wasn't there and was replaced by "Reinstall Windows (requires Windows installation disc" The issue is, is that I don't have the installation disc, and don't have the money to get one. I asked my uncle who gave me the laptop and he doesn't have it either. So is there any way I can reset the laptop for free? Any help would be appreciated.

    Multiple Monitor Help

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 06:40 PM PDT

    I recently bought a second monitor. One is 1080p while the other is 1440p. Right now in the display settings menu, they can't line up perfectly because one is a lower resolution. As a result, there is a virtual wall that doesn't allow me to drag my mouse cursor across for about 1/3 of the screen. Is there a way to make windows consider them the same size without changing the resolution of the bigger one?

    Is it possible to RDP to a machine without disconnecting the active user?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:22 AM PDT

    Like a tech support feature, only with RDP.

    I'm aware of the /shadow command, but the version of Windows on the target machine does not support shadowing.

    Thanks in advance!

    Windows 7 Pro 64 not recognizing all RAM

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:07 PM PDT

    Many years ago I built a really nice desktop which I feel still performs quite well even today. Issue I have is that there's 12GB of RAM. For the longest time Windows would only recognize 4GB. I have changed it many times in the Boot settings and it finally recognized 8GB but never 12GB. I have run diagnostics to see if any of the RAM is bad but there are no errors reported. I saw one way to attempt this was messing with the paging(?) but I'd prefer other options. I have a GIGABYTE mobo and it should be able to handle it.

    Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

    Can you set parental controls per Windows 10 device?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 05:57 PM PDT

    Can you set parental controls per Windows 10 device?

    Just setup Microsoft family to manage parental controls on Windows 10 devices. Seems the only options are to manage all Windows 10 devices as a single group (or worse all devices including Xbox's as a single group).

    Is there a way to manage parental controls on different Windows 10 devices individually? We have a simple laptop for the kids schoolwork that I want to have different time restrictions on than the gaming PC.

    How can I get the Start menu to show my .exe programs when I type them in?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:43 AM PDT

    For example: I search "GeForce Experience" and I expect the program to pop up but Start menu shows me various web searches.

    Usable memory(16GB) is less than installed(32GB)

    Hi everyone,

    I've checked most web pages for this issue, I changed msconfig thing as well. I still have the issue.

    I am sorry but my PC is Turkish. Pink is showing hardware installed. Orange is showing how much Windows using. Red shows Hardware reserved.

    No calculator or web searches in search

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I know the Windows search can be crappy, but I use it a lot for quick calculations or web searches. Recently, I have been unable to use the calculator or search the web in search. I do have Edgedeflector and Chrometana installed, and I have had no issues with them installed before this started happening. It would be great if I can have these features back because they are quite useful. Thanks!

    PC Performance Issue

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:35 AM PDT

    So basically here's what I've been experiencing:

    • Visible Highlight Lag when hovering on app icons
    • High Idle CPU Temps (60-65c, i7 6700k)
    • Windows Security Service error in between a full scan (the error occurs midway, i'm not sure for other scans though)

    • Here are the possible causes for this:

    • Trojans I've got from torrents (Could be false positives, really can't confirm)

    • Ants infiltration on my PC, (recently saw some ants climb up to my desk, monitor and keyboard. Killed em all now) although I have opened up the PC and there's no signs of ants. The PC itself is pretty clean though, considering the fact that it's been opened for the first time after 3 years.

    • Recently downloaded Hitman Pro after Windows scanned for trojans and this might've possibly interfered with Windows Security (refer to Windows Security issue)

    • Excessive Windows Security Full Scans (done this a couple of times because I can't remove a virus)

    • Maybe something just fucked up and nothings actually wrong with my PC

    • Other details:

    • I've tried deleting one specific trojan and Windows Security won't do anything. I'm not actually sure if it remove it but when I click the remove button, it doesn't do anything (The virus is: VirTool:Win32/Obfuscator.XZ)

    • Some of the viruses were failed to removed but these viruses were scanned prior to when I have began noticing these issues.

    • Had a BSOD 2 weeks before this happened

    • AVs & Tools I use is: Windows, MMAB, RKill & HitmanPro

    • Media for reference: (Imgur Links) - Viruses

    I haven't turned on my PC for a week now because I'm quite scared to deal with the situation. I have also followed other guides on the internet on virus scans.

    I really don't want to resort to having my PC clean installed. I would love to fix these three issues I currently have. I appreciate the help and I hope I have given enough information. Ask me if you need more. Thanks a lot!

    Telemetry mitigation for HIPAA-sensitive material in Windows 10 Professional

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:42 PM PDT

    I'm really trying to like Windows 10, but man, i can't get over the fact
    that I feel like I'm being watched at every turn. Given that I work
    with a lot of HIPAA-sensitive information, that's a real worry.

    Is there absolutely anything I can do to insure that no data is leaked
    via telemetry? I've tried contacting Microsoft about it over a several
    month email exchange and their one (telling?) answer was: Buy
    Enterprise. For me, that's not a fiscal option.

    I'm so sick of the state of Linux/BSD/MacOS and Windows, but I feel that
    Windows 10 is about the only viable, working option for my hardware.

    Windows 10 won't finish install HELP PLEASE

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 06:21 PM PDT

    So unfortunately I am now a victim of the recent Windows10 update that is giving systems blue screens of death. None of Windows 10's troubleshooting options worked so I figured doing a clean install was my best option. I used my Windows 10 boot drive (install tool on USB) to format my C drive and reinstall Windows 10 Pro. The install gets to the point where it needs to reboot the system, but that's it. After the Mobo manufacturer screen I get this "error: unknown filesystem. Entering Rescue mode... grub rescue>" error. Is there I'm doing wrong? Do I need to mess with the boot order in my bios? I've put Windows 10 on numerous systems and never ran into this before. Please Help!

    Kernel Power Error 41 on Surface Laptop 3

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 04:52 PM PDT

    I've only had my surface laptop 3 for about 5 months and it has been operating perfectly until a week ago. My laptop randomly shuts down without me pressing a button. What I think may have caused this was holding the power button down for 20 seconds one time. Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks.

    If you want any application to auto start on login use shell:startup

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    If you want any application to auto start on login use shell:startup

    Go to windows explorer (windows key + E) and in the address bar enter "shell:startup". Drag and drop shortcuts here. They will auto run on account login. Personally use it for Sticky Notes and other applications that dont have the 'run on windows start' option in built!

    Apologies if this has been posted before, newbie here and thought some other newbies might not know!

    LF - Win10 Chroma / RGB Theme

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 04:06 PM PDT

    Hey all! I'm new to this sub!

    Anyways, here's what I'm looking for:

    An RGB / Chroma theme for windows 10, something with active color shifting that affects the task-bar, the start menu, and individual file explorer windows just as the regular color selection themes do in the settings menu. I have both rainmeter and wallpaper engine, but neither have what I'm looking for to the full extent of my knowledge. The closest thing I have found so far is a win-zipped mod that only changes the taskbar to shifting RGB, not the rest of the windows theme.

    Does anyone know of anything like this? Would love to hear from you guys! If you don't have any ideas please toss me an up-vote for exposure, every bit helps thank you so much!!

    Looking for straight-up and easy (non-gaming) screen recording programs for Windows. Which one to go for? Not OBS.

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 03:56 PM PDT

    I've previously used Bandicam, which did everything smooth and well, but I wanna see if there are other options out there.

    I am mainly looking for a screen capture program that does just that; capture custom area of the screen or an entire window/screen in 1-2-3. I just want to fire up the program, select an area I wanna record and start recording.

    Naturally, I use OBS for streaming, but for quick and easy screen capture, OBS falls short, hence why that is not an option.

    What program do you recommend? I am considering iSpring Suite.

    How can I get the system tray onto both monitors?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    Hi, i have a two monitor setup (laptop + TV), and its quite useful. However an issue i have is that I sometimes want to have a game or something on one monitor and be able to check notifications on a second monitor (ie discord, steam, battery etcetra). I am aware that I can drag the taskbar, but I would like to have the system tray available on both monitors not just one. I did some googling and the answer was a no as far as 1st party windows support, but all the fourms and threads were from 2015-2017ish. I was curious if this is something that has been fixed/added since and if so how would I go about doing such a thing? I'm vaguely aware of DisplayFusion, but if there isn't any direct windows support, are there any better alternatives? [Personally not a big fan of how Displayfusion looks]

    Two issues that I assume are linked: Windows background get's changed on one device and automatically changes on another device. And, other peoples files appearing on desktop. Help?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 01:37 PM PDT

    I work for a small business. It appears as if two of our devices are linked somehow. One employee changes their background and it changes to the same background on another device. And there are files that randomly show up on the desktop that should be on another persons computer. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    Send to Desktop (Create shortcut) from Start Menu?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:50 AM PDT

    I'd like to see this feature brought back, as the only way on Windows 10 is through Open file location > Send to > Desktop. In previous versions, you could right click (or drag) any application from the start menu and create a shortcut to the desktop.

    Windows will not update

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 01:31 PM PDT

    Windows 10 keeps reverting back to version 1607 when I try to update with the error code 0x8007001f – 0x20006.

    I've made sure I have enough space on the HD, tried running Windows Update Troubleshooter, making sure I have admin control, updating on a clean boot, and downloading Media Creation Tool and selecting "Upgrade this PC now." I haven't tried using a thumb drive yet, because I'm still not sure if it will erase my files. Anyone know if it's safe to do so, or have any other things I could try?

    Let me know if you need any PC specs.

    Windows wont update

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:29 AM PDT

    Im trying to install " 2020-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4549951)"

    but my settings says there was a problem and to try again, been trying for about week now.

    I googled the error code "0x800f0831" and somehow ended up in windows update catalog where i downloaded the update manually and tried to install it, however it lead to another fail in install and said the same thing as settings.
