- I'm sharing a video of the working prototype of Monaco Preview which is comming to Microsoft PowerToys in December or January
- Mac guy here. I just bought a gaming PC laptop. Do PC’s still not come with a legit copy of Windows or registration code to allow for a complete reinstall? If not, should I perform any kind of clone of my system, before using it, to preserve a clean install in case I need to revert to it?
- Just found out of an app that lets you have a video as your background wallpaper and I’m obsessed. The app is called X Live Wallpaper
- Is there any step during Window Install process and before drivers are loaded that requires user input?
- BSOD nvlddmkm.sys
- Does gimp 2.10 work in Windows 7? Please reply... thank you

| Posted: 05 Dec 2021 07:03 AM PST My questions are kind of all over the place, but my main concern is about computer viruses and/or other weird occurrences after various installs not playing nice together. On my Macs, I make clones of my systems before updating so I can always revert, but I always have access to clean macOS installs. How does Windows work on this regard when you buy a PC? Does my copy of windows come with a registration code that would allow me to redownload or reinstall fresh if I needed/wanted to? I want to ask now before I start using my laptop so I can perform some actions now, such as making a clean clone of it, in case that is any kind of Windows reinstall alternative since I am not buying a retail version of Windows. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 05 Dec 2021 05:56 AM PST My laptop crashed earlier while it was updating Windows (left it running overnight and forgot to plug it in). Apparently, while my laptop can still boot up and start Windows as usual, something went wrong and a bunch of my processes are likely corrupted now. I can't start System Restore. I can't modify Boot Configuration. SFC /scannow broke after reaching around 50%. That hasn't happened again yet, but I got a BSoD with "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" as well. Since neither chkdsk /r nor dism helped, it looks like it's time for an Upgrade Repair. However, another major issue that my laptop's screen died a month ago. Ever since, I have been using an external monitor as a temporary replacement. Based on what I've seen, the display won't switch to the external monitor until the corresponding (graphic, probably?) drivers are loaded: the laptop still uses its original, dead screen during boot-up process until Windows starts loading in, or in Window Safe-Mode since it apparently doesn't load that driver. That brings me to the question in the title: is there any step during Window Install process and BEFORE drivers are loaded that requires user input? Because the drivers aren't loaded during the install process until nearly the end, I assume that my laptop can't use the external monitor until then. That means if there is any step that requires user input, even something as simple as clicking a "Next" button or pressing Enter to continue, I won't be able to do it (since I can't see anything). I remember that there are several steps that requires user input at the end, but I can't remember if those happen before, or after graphic drivers are loaded (which can be seen as your resolution changes). I'm hoping that there isn't and I can just leave my laptop running until it finishes installing windows and loading graphic drivers, but I can't be totally sure and I certainly don't want to risk it. Does anyone know? Thank you very much in advance [link] [comments] | ||
