    microphone does not work unless I unplug it and plug it back in upon startup.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 02:05 PM PST

    I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this, but whenever I start my pc, my microphone does not work. I use no software for the mic, it is simply a plug and play usb microphone. Once i unplug it and plug it in, however, it works. Why does this happen?

    Blurry Display Scaling at 125%? No worries! Look at this thread.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 12:24 PM PST

    Blurry Display Scaling at 125%? No worries! Look at this thread.

    Warning: works only for scaling 125% and below, above not tested.

    I've been personally using Windows 10 for some long time and I've always noticed how the text on legacy applications gets always blurry. It wasn't a problem on Windows 7 as everything was consistently sharp back then. Nowdays on Windows 10 If you enable scaling there's a big chance text will look blurred, especially on some "Legacy Applications" / Older Applications... here's some examples:

    https://preview.redd.it/gh6llqquwm261.png?width=969&format=png&auto=webp&s=813dac4fd3e54c978545f29a5fb768e9b6ad7612

    As you can see the Legacy Box from the command "slmgr" on the right is a lot more blurry than the UWP Text on the left... that's not how It should normally be. All text should be equally sharp.

    Solution is to manually set the Display Scaling in "Settings > System > Advanced Scaling Settings > and in the box at the bottom write '125', after that re-log or reboot." After you've done these steps your Scaling will still remain at 125% but... text will be Sharp once again! Here's how to do it:

    https://preview.redd.it/if4nofpwwm261.png?width=603&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fd0471f2151e2df90564ec4f7a6e913b85c8928

    After all these steps! A lot of your blurred apps will turn "normally sharp" look at this image and compare it to the one at the top and see the result yourself:

    https://preview.redd.it/6pq9r3wxwm261.png?width=1075&format=png&auto=webp&s=3933f7738f3a89aa9b83deff35dac16759783688

    You can see now the Text in the command "slmgr" is now fully sharp and normal...

    https://preview.redd.it/l7gislgzwm261.png?width=1239&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3eea817384c423b348ad271052f770098829d6c

    PC starts itself back up instead of shutting down.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 05:46 PM PST

    Sometimes when I shut down my PC it instantly starts itself back up. It's feeling really strange since it only happens sometimes and never twice on a row.

    Once it starts itself back up I just shut I down again and it actually shuts down.

    I always use the normal shut down button in Windows 10.

    Anyone got any idea why my PC is being this odd?

    Wireless Router Settings

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 08:07 PM PST

    In the wireless router settings, do you in all circumstances, enable packet aggregation and would there be any reason not to have it enabled?

    Also, would this function work differently for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and does preamble short and long have any relevance to these features as well?

    I'm living in a densely populated apartment block with my wireless router in my utility room surrounded by pipes, boilers and electrical boxes in there.

    Also, what wireless channels are advised for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands or would the auto channel switching be sufficient as selecting one fixed channel would probably mix with others around my flat anyways?

    Windows Update Issues

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 04:58 AM PST

    My last update was in March 2020. When I load the Windows Update settings it's just a blank screen with loading dots up top. I checked my services and windows update is disabled in start up type. I go in and change it to automatic and then press start and reload my computer. I go back into the services and it has gone back to disabled. I have ran the troubleshooter and it says it cannot find the problem. I have run the media creation tool to upgrade my pc and the outcome says it has failed. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have also tried CMD net start wuauserv but it says it cannot be started as iut is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it

    Is it possible to make it so apps can't go under the taskbar?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 06:10 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I've got my taskbar on the top of the screen and it's set to small icons. Right now, whenever I move windows around my screen, they sometimes slide underneath the taskbar.

    Does anyone know how to make it so that I can't drag windows underneath the taskbar? I want Windows to treat the bottom of the taskbar like the end of the screen (think like the MacOS menu bar).

    Does Input Language setting actually matter when using the same Keyboard Layout setting for all Input Languages?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST

    For example, suppose that I'm using a US keyboard as the physical keyboard, then I have these Input Language and Keyboard Layout settings:

    • Input Language: English, Keyboard Layout: US

    • Input Language: French, Keyboard Layout: US

    • Input Language: Japanese, Keyboard Layout: US

    With that, no matter which input language I activate and use, all of them use the same keyboard layout. Thus, all keyboard keys are mapped correctly, and all characters are generated correctly.

    So, what purpose does the Input Language setting is for? What aspects are affected by it? Cause I don't see any difference at all.

    Snip and Sketch Broken

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 06:08 AM PST

    After a couple windows updates my snip and sketch is completely broken. I can't find any solutions to my problem.

    One issue is that Snip and Sketch doesn't show up as a notification sender, I think this means that Win+Shift+S won't open it. but I'm not 100% on that.

    Even when i open the snip and sketch app, it won't let me take a snip by pressing the "New Snip" button. This is most likely the reason, but i have no idea how to even start fixing the problem. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, updating to the Latest windows update in case something there was causing to not work.

    It's really annoying because its so useful to just have a shortcut on my keyboard to take a snip, any help would be very much appreciated.

    Switching from windows 10 S home to Windows 10 home

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 03:37 AM PST

    Hi there,

    I had a question regarding the change to windows 10 home from windows 10 S home, I'm planning on buying a laptop soon and I had my eye on a lenovo ideapad flex 5. But as I was looking at the specifications one last time I saw that it had Windows 10 S home on there. I'm aware that you can change to the full version for free, but I was wondering how much impact on performance changing would have. The specifications for the laptop would be:

    Ryzen 3 4300u
    8Gb 3200 Ddr4 ram
    256Gb SSD

    Thanks for replying!

    Caps lock key acts crazy..

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 11:45 AM PST

    When I press caps lock and try to type, various letters go crazy, they type a few letters, for example:

    W - URW

    S - 65S

    Y - NBY

    X - MVX

    When I type key + shift, it works normally. Also, these keys that go crazy always type the same combination of letters (also, S, Y and X press the arrow I think because my cursor moves to the beginning of sentence ).

    Does someone know what could be the cause and how to solve this problem? Can this be a virus or smth? Im using Windows 10.

    Thanks

    How do I disable Photos app syncing? I uninstalled OneDrive a long time ago but it keeps syncing my Pictures folder!

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 01:01 PM PST

    When I open my Photos app, on the top-right it says OneDrive, when I click on it, it says I've used 4.4MB of 5GB. I uninstalled OneDrive a long time ago. Why the fuck is Windows 10 syncing my private Pictures folder to the internet?

    secpol and gpedit both give>> Failed..."not appropriate rights"

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 12:56 PM PST

    Win10 PC has developed a strange quirk: While debugging a problem with DotNet updates not installing (I removed Bitlocker and all was fine) I tried to run secpol and gpedit. Both returned "Failed to open the GPO on this computer. Your might not have appropriate rights."

    User has admin rights, and on the Administrator account it also fails. Fails as well if I install a new user. Have googled and tried various things, but the only thing I haven't removed is all the HP-branded security apps they install by default. (HP Zbook G5 x64 loaded)

    Anyone run across this and have a solution?

    I have this problem that whenever I press left ctrl key, the volume mutes and whenever I do the same thing to Windows key, the PC shuts down itself. I have a desktop not a laptop.

    I googled this problem already on which how I came up doing those two possible solutions . I can't find any way out.

    DCOM Error 10016 causing constant crashing

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 12:13 PM PST

    Since the last Windows update I've gotten constant BSODs and every time I check the Event Viewer it says "Warning" and "Distributed COM Error 10016" followed by some info with IDs. Everything seems to cause this issue from having a Windows application open for too long to accessing an account in a browser. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

    When pluggin in a USB device into your Windows machine (USB, External HDD, Kindle etc) they get assigned an driver letter. Do these driver letter remain the same for each plugged in device?

    My SD card shows E: and my Kindle shows F:, can I always be sure that they will have that letter assigned?

    Explorer crashing on file copy

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 10:53 AM PST

    Hello, I got a new laptop and have fully updated it to 20H2. When I attempt to paste a cut/copied file or folder, Explorer crashes and restarts without copying. Using other apps like DirectoryOpus to copy folders works correctly. The issue occurred from when I set it up as a fresh install on 1909 and through as it was updated to 20H2

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    I want to know if I am adding the registry key correctly.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 05:17 AM PST

    I want to know if I am adding the registry key correctly.

    Am I adding "DWORD" correctly to the registry according to my screenshots?

    According to two instructions

    1. Add to registry DWORD "HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct2D/max_version_factory" with value "0" 2. Add to registry DWORD "HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/MaxVersionGL" with value "30002" (hexadecimal) 

    I have to two DWORD's. Am I doing this correctly.
