    Reset all settings back to default

    Posted: 06 May 2020 08:08 PM PDT

    I want to keep my files and apps, want to remove all settings I changed throughout using my laptop. I noticed that even after I nuked my computer, some settings, like the min and max of my windows page file, were still the same despite my reset. How can I truly reset all settings on my comp to default?

    Solid color instead of wallpaper

    Solid color instead of wallpaper

    Hello, I have to ask for help. Recently I found a couple awesome wallpapers, but they just don't work. There are some strange things here, Windows can use these images at Look screen, but if I try to use them as wallpaper Windows switches Solid color wallpaper and that's it.

    I do not understand why it happens, I love these wallpapers, how can I fix it? I'll attach a screenshot of the image parameters just in case.

    One more thing, the third on the right works as its name says. Maybe it's because Bit depth, but like I said, all three of them work fine at Lock screen :(

    Weird problems with keyboard and mouse

    Posted: 06 May 2020 07:13 PM PDT

    So the other day I was having issues with my keyboard and mouse. It would stop working in the middle of games. I ended up reinstalling synapse since both my keyboard and mouse would stop working. Fixed.

    But now, when I restart my computer. And I mean go and click restart from the start menu, the peripherals stop working completely. They will light up. I hear the sound notification if. I plug them in or disconnect them. But no functionality other than lights. However, once I hit my power button for 10 seconds and restart my computer that way... they work. This is aggravating cause my game is requiring a full cycle restart. And it won't count if I just hit my power button for 10 seconds.

    Any ideas??

    Windows 10 update clearing files

    Posted: 06 May 2020 01:40 PM PDT

    My mother in law had an update pop up when she was going to shut down her PC. When she went back to boot up the computer all her files were deleted. Her browser was cleared out and it ended up creating another User account. I tried to delete the User but it doesn't show up on the accounts page. Now she tells me that once a week it comes up that she needs to do an update, and the same thing happens with everything deleting. I honestly do not know what to do to fix the problem. Has anyone gone through this? Does anyone know what I could possibly do to fix it? I'm to the point where I'm just going to reinstall Windows all over again. Thank for your time.

    Something stealing focus?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 01:12 PM PDT

    I'm sitting here playing a causal game of siege and it constantly keeps tabbing out every 10-30 minutes something steals focus and I got no clue what it is, I've tried downloading a focus logger to see what might've have caused it but nothing was logged when it happened so I'm kinda confused.. Any ideas?

    No keyboard/mouse support when enabling Secure Boot in BIOS

    Posted: 06 May 2020 03:19 PM PDT

    I've tried enabling TPM and Secure Boot in my bios for the security benefits, but for some reason, as soon as it's enabled, my keyboard and mouse (and possibly all of my USB devices) stop working completely, leaving me unable to log in.

    They work completely fine in the BIOS, and the lighting on the mouse and keyboard both turn off as soon as Windows begins loading, so it's definitely a problem with Windows specifically. I'm leaving it turned off for now as a workaround but I'd ideally prefer to have it enabled if possible.

    I'm using a custom-built PC, with an Asus Prime X570-Pro motherboard, if that makes a difference at all. If anybody knows what might be causing this, it'd be massively appreciated!

    Windows cannot find(open) images.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 05:05 AM PDT

    Whenever I open a picture, I get an error message popping up that windows cannot find 'filename', make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I used google, none of the solutions applied/worked.

    What happened before was that I had an avast warning for a rootkit (probably false positive) in some photo.exe file which I quarantined and then restarted my computer (with windows update).

    I tried to check the Virus Chest (Quarantine) of Avast but there is nothing (I think it also showed an error message with access denied when I actually had tried to quarantine the file).

    I also tried to Repair and then Reset the Windows Photo App, but it didn't fix the issue.

    Note I can still open pictures with Paint but its a bit awkward, I could download a third aprty program, but I am not sure if this current phenomenon is a security risk of any sorts, so I'd like to get it fixed.

    [Edit] If I just start the app itself, it looks like the window is opening, but it's black, and it disappears immediately, it shows up in the taks bar for a split second.

    [Edit2] For now I changed the default program to "Windows Photo Viewer" which works, but it wasn't the default. 'Photos' was the default, which i assume is part of the windows app store, and it apparently isn't damaged of any sorts since repair and reset don't show any issues, but it nonetheless won't run.

    Hello, first-time poster here so please excuse any formatting issues. This is not application-specific my computer has been suffering from this weird micro stuttering issue both in games as well as browsing the internet and typing I used word as it is very easy to see the stuttering occurring in the video. Feel free to skip to the end because it happens in the last five seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is happening on a Windows 10 laptop.

    Geobook won’t play nice with W10 install usb

    Posted: 06 May 2020 02:19 PM PDT

    So I'm trying to nuke my Geobook using a bootable usb I know works from setting up another laptop. The Geobook detects the usb in bios but flatly refuses to run from it and goes straight to W10. The default bios setting is safeboot off and there does not appear to be a legacy setting. I'm at a loss.

    Help!!!

    Thanks!

    No sound on MSI gaming laptop

    Posted: 06 May 2020 05:49 PM PDT

    Hi, I have an issue where the sound on my laptop does not work. This includes the speakers and any headphones that I plug in. I have checked inputs, muting, volume and the sound control panel. Windows detected an issue in the diagnostic and told me to restart my computer, but nothing changed. In addition, ever since this issue started, when I launch my computer, a program called windows powershell ISE launches, and immediately closes. Any help?

    How to change the ipv4 address?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    Saw alot of pages, all say the same. Go to control panel, network, change adapter options propeties, then propeties of ipv4, and then your desired ip address. I do that way, but #1 i lose connection to internet, and #2 i cant even connect to the bloody thing with that new ip. What am i doing wrong? I just put subnet mask and gateway from default "ipconfig" command, but ip address different to what i want it to be. And yes it has a server hosted in it so it should in theory load up the page. How to change it properly? How to get the proper numbers for everything? Thanks for reading and help.

    Something is wrong with my Microsoft store

    Posted: 06 May 2020 05:04 PM PDT

    So I was trying to install Minecraft today and after clicking the install button a couple thousand of times , it didn't budge. So I scrolled down and noticed a little triangle next to "system requirements" and very close to it there was a message saying that my PC didn't have the correct hardware. It said "minimum requirement : .....
    recommended requirement: .....
    you have: couldn't detect hardware"

    How do I fix this .

    Windows Camera Frame Server using all memory

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:25 PM PDT

    I just got a new Lenovo Yoga C940 2 days ago, and it seems that when I use my webcam for meetings, my computer gets very laggy and sometimes my webcam will freeze. I checked task manager and noticed Windows Camera Frame Server using from 7gb to 11gb of memory. Is there any way to prevent this memory leak? It won't let me end the process without shutting down.

    Migrating windows from a HDD to a smaller SSD M.2 drive

    Posted: 06 May 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I've recently been made aware that I can install windows on my M.2 drive (Samsung EVO I believe), the issue is the SSD is only 500gb, and my old HDD is like 2TB. How would I migrate my windows over to the M.2 drive? I'm pretty certain all the stuff on my current HDD is more than my SSD can hold right now so I dont know if cloning is possible?

    In a perfect world I wouldn't want to lose anything as I have a few games and family pictures on there but I'm happy starting from scratch if thats whats required. For records sake this is my first time doing it so be gentle. Really there are only one or two games I'd wanna save anyway so its not that big a deal

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    how do I prevent kids from playing games until a password is entered (or something of the sort)?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:04 PM PDT

    my step-mother's kid needs his computer for schoolwork, but he refuses to do any work when she's not with him, and just plays games instead. But she has to work, and nobody else has time/patience to constantly breathe down his neck every time he gets homework.

    Is there any way to prevent every website/app not related to schoolwork from being accessed?
