by Guest Vozze- 0 replies
- 50 views
Hello all, I have a rather weird problem that I don't know how to address or troubleshoot. Windows doesn't let me type the ` key. I have used 2 different keyboards, the On-Screen Keyboard and different language and keyboard layouts. I have also rebound the ` key to another key using Razer synapse which also doesn't work. I'm really stuck here. What could this be? Thanks in advance. Continue reading...

windows 10 `, 1, tab, and q keys are not working correctly.
by Guest TomBirdman- 0 replies

Thank you for taking a look at this post. I am using an ROG laptop, Windows 10. This started about two weeks ago. The keys I mentioned in the title sometimes work as intended, but usually don't. Whenever I press a key at the same time as one of these they work how they should, e.g. alt+tab works fine, holding shift and pressing one of them works fine (~!Q), and pressing any other key with any of them usually works fine (using w as an example: qw `w w1). I plugged in a USB keyboard and it works as it should.I have tried many things. I have uninstalled my keyb Continue reading...

windows 10 `dnscache` cannot be started due to inappropriate permission
by Guest djmrh639- 0 replies
- 13 views
Hi there!I recently invested in a paid-for VPN service on my windows 10 machine.However, when I try to start it, it says "cannot get dns server, contact support" , which is what I did.They said that the `dnscache` service might be disabled, and to re-enable it using services.msc.However the button to start it is greyed out. No problem, I thought. I'll just change the DWORD in the registry to make the service manually start.I did that and got the error: "1058: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." [image below]I ha Continue reading...

I went though, this with ASUS online help, and the mouse is causing the problem, even when directly plugged in- avoiding my usb spreader. It affects the built-in keyboard, but not the remote keyboard. It appears to send edit keycode combinations, rather like the old askii editors. -then strange thing happen- "'edity" type things! - there was an odd accent-thing going on just then, but it seems to have cleared. Any ideas? With no mouse, the problem disappears. The touchpad shutoff when usb mouse is plugged in"" seems to be working ok. The built-in keyboard seems to be worse when my hand is resting on the right front edge. ? suspect of touc…

I am having major problems with the latest update of Windows 10. What I will described happened twice. At the beginning, everything looks fine, the screen turns blue with the message "working on updates x% Don't turn off your PC. This will take a while. Your PC will restart several times".

windows 10 _______ has stopped working.
by Guest NutronSe7en- 0 replies
- 14 views
So for the past few weeks, I have seemed to lose more and more functionality of my computer. I use a full-sized desktop, and recently more and more, I would open an application and all except a small minority would close after a few seconds of being open (if that). I've consulted many people and many forums filled with many people who know quite a bit about windows. Despite my efforts, I am yet to obtain a solution that actually fixes my issue. While it started as a minor annoyance, it has become a problem that has limited the functionality of my pc to practically none. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I have run a virus scan on windows defender, Norton,…

windows 10 __P0__ VMware Workstation Pro (No-Op) - Uninstall this app now because it isn't compatible with Windows 10.

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my Windows 8.1 to the new Windows 10 via the Media Creation Tool. After some processing, I stumbled upon this, __P0__ VMware Workstation Pro (No-Op) - Uninstall this app now because it isn't compatible with Windows 10. Before I bought this laptop, somehow VMware was inside the system and I think after some years it got uninstall by Avast (via recommendation due to being obsolete). I don't really know the application of the program and dont use it. I can't seem to find the program in Programs and Features neither is through the search button for the key word VMware. Appreciate if you could assist me. https://filestore.communit…

How to turn this stuff off? I can't believe this is made so hard. I leave my computer on at night, starting a synchronization job on the command line. When I wake up the next morning Im met with a lockscreen. Once unlocking, the command-line Windows is gone, and my uptime is just a few hours. Again it has rebooted to install some update, killing ongoing work. How to turn this off? So many times now batch photo exports, video encodes, internet uploads.. have been aborted for a reboot without warning or a choice. Continue reading...

Many years ago I had the free AVAST anti-virus software but I removed it and went back to Windows Defender. I use the latest version of Windows 10 as my PC is not upgradable to Windows 11. In the past have downloaded free software like CC Cleaner which came with Avast which I mistakenly installed but I quickly uninstalled Avast. Every few weeks I go into the Windows Temp folder to manually delete files and folders there. Some are stubborn and I resort to force deleting them with free unlocker software. Yesterday I found the _avast_ folder in the Windows Temp folder. I can't open the _avast_ f Continue reading...

windows 10 _icon files suddenly appeared in my images folder
by Guest DavidLazarus- 0 replies

Good morning. I recently noticed _icon files for every image in my images folder. After spot checking several, it seems that they were all created this year. Why is Windows suddenly creating _icon files for all of my images rather than just using the thumbs.db file for thumbnails? Is there a way that I can turn this feature off?Here's an example of a file name for one of those files so that you understand what I'm referencing:"A Star to Light Your Way_jpg_icon.png"There is a file like that for every image in the folder and I have tons of images.Here's the OS info:Edition Windows 10 ProVers Continue reading...
