    I can't be the only one

    Is there a reason to use a "desktop" (wrapped) app over using the web app?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 11:47 AM PDT

    I use a lot of web apps that also have desktop versions, but the desktop apps are just the web apps in a wrapper (in my case, Facebook, Airtable, Canva, Facebook Messenger, Etc.), which makes me think it's basically an isolated browser tab.

    Are there good reasons to use these apps instead of the web app? Are they faster than having a whole browser tab open?

    I can't delete a specific folder

    Hello,

    I have a folder which exists for over 3 months ago in my "Downloads" folder. I get this message when I try to remove it:

    These are the details from the "Property" tab:

    The folder is empty inside. How I can delete it?

    Windows ameliorated for the win!

    Does the BIOS system have windows 10/11 product key in it?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 01:36 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I am thinking of buying a new laptop and as soon as I get it I am planning on probably installing Linux on it. But I might need to run windows later as I join my masters.

    So I have heard that Windows now puts its product key in the bios so the user doesnt have to buy Windows multiple times or something like that? Can anyone confirm this?

    Weird PS1 bitcrush sound quality on Windows 10 PC. Tips appreciated thank you.

    Windows minus the spyware plus added stability and security -- a pragmatic set of modifications to Windows 10.

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 01:25 PM PDT

    Its basically windows 10 without bloat or spyware. The amount of tracking going on is sickening! Its also much faster. Great if you dont want to switch to Linux. It also is a bit more secure because exploits that use admin access do not work.

    Altering Program Files Locations and How Programs Access C: Drive

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 01:23 PM PDT

    System:

    Windows 10 Pro 21H2

    ***Problem Background**\*

    So I keep running into an issue where I'm running out of space on my C: Drive (75Gb partition on NVMe). I Placed windows on such a small partition because I was trying to isolate Windows from everything else; that way when something inevitably goes wrong with windows (not always through any fault of Windows...but Windows is Windows), I can simply nuke my C: drive and reinstall without having to work with moving files and folders of personal documents and media.

    But trying to do so keeps biting me in the butt and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix this. Recently the problem has affected my ability to clean up disk space on drives and remove unnecessary files. I'm specifically doing through my ebooks, to delete duplicates, archive read or unwanted books, and find potentially corrupted files (I had a hard drive die on me a while back). My C: drive has been bouncing around between 1-3Gb free space, as I understand opening files loads data into your prefetch directory or something like that, which makes sense...but the data chunks it uses don't. I had one book chew through almost 1/4 of a gig when opened. So I have to periodically stop when the drive fills up, and this is causing issues with other programs as well.

    ***Question**\*

    With the background out of the way, is there a way where I can fully isolate Window's files to my C: drive and have anything not windows on other drives? Specifically, I guess I'm wondering if I can change things so that the default location for installed programs is on a different drive(along with everything already installed that isn't a windows/Microsoft core thing)? As well as have the user folders stored somewhere other than the C: drive?

    Thanks!

    Laptop Powering On Randomly (After COMPLETE shutdown)

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 09:22 AM PDT

    Laptop Powering On Randomly (After COMPLETE shutdown)

    Hardware: Surface Book 2

    OS: Windows 10 Pro (Build 19044.1706)

    This problem has been cropping up over the past week-- my laptop will be completely shut down directly via the start menu (not the lock button) and I ensure that no programs impede the shutdown process before closing the lid. I do not use the sleep or hibernate functions when I pack my laptop away since I don't want it heating up inside its case.

    However, in the middle of the night (according to the Windows Event Viewer\1])) it will start up while still in its case and then either run the battery until it dies or it overheats and shuts down again.

    I have run Command Prompt\2]) to check for what could be waking my computer and found the HP "service" and Windows "process". I tried to disable wake timers via Advanced Power Options\3]) but the option to disable wake timers is conspicuously missing despite every single online Windows 10 guide showing it as an option. Also, I am in an administrator account and did not have an option to open the power settings as an administrator (no drop down right-click menu). I checked Task Schedule\4]) and there are no tasks that are allowed to wake my computer. I checked the Scheduled Maintenance\5]) options and it is not allowed to wake my computer (and is not scheduled for weird random times between 1am and 5am).

    I ran Malwarebytes and Emsisoft but have not found any threats.

    I have exhausted all the options I can think of-- how can a process/program wake my computer after the computer is shut down completely? Is that even allowed? Isn't "wake" just referring to wake from sleep/hibernation?

    This seems extremely dangerous, both for my computer and for myself, since it will start up and reach high temperatures while inside an enclosed leather case.

    Is night mode a thing on windows 11? I've tried looking for and googling it but all I can find is dark mode which doesn't seem like the same thing.

    How to automate bluetooth pairing and connect

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 10:55 AM PDT

    hello my dudes

    Here's the deal, at work I have these piece of shit earbuds that won't always auto-connect to windows. IT REMAINS PAIRED, but won't connect. Also trying to manually connect the already paired device won't work.

    So what I have to do is UNPAIR, search for the device, and pair them again to reconnect them... Every-single-time, multiple times a day.

    Can I make a powershell script or .bat file or whatnot to automate this? If so, how? (noob explanation pls)

    Thanks!

    Windows 11 security app won’t open

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 08:18 AM PDT

    This is a new surface laptop with windows 11 pre installed.

    If I go to settings/privacy & security/windows security it freezes for a minute (like a full minute) and eventually a button comes up saying Open Windows Security. Clicking on that button gives a message saying "You'll need an app to open this windowsdefender link".

    If I click on "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store" it says No results found.

    From Settings, I go to Apps/Apps & Features and search for "security" it finds no results.

    If use the Run app and open services.msc it shows Security Center running. I've restarted and stopped and started it and get the same behavior when trying to access settings as above. It also shows Windows Security Service as "Manual". When I try to start it it says "…started and then stopped…".

    I've run free Malwarebytes which found nothing and hitman pro which found only tracking cookies.

    I've rebooted numerous times.

    Any suggestions?
