by Guest Kevin Junior1- 0 replies
- 5 views
I am running Windows 10 and my audio today when I opened my laptop just stopped working, I've tried using troubleshooting tools built into windows 10 and I have never connected a audio device (and I have never used a HDMI cable in this laptop) so it's just my built in laptop speakers. I have also made sure I had made my audio running at 30% volume (it has worked for months.) Continue reading...

windows 10 Замедляется ПК во время проигрывания музыки
by Guest fanat_skiLLa1- 0 replies

Здравствуйте. Уже очень давно я столкнулся с такой проблемой, что когда я включаю музыку, например в вк, компьютер начинает работать хуже. Нагляднее всего это происходит в играх. Когда я стою на месте без музыки, у меня стабильный фпс без просадок. Как только я включаю музыку, фпс начинает периодически падать и мгновенно возвращаться назад, из-за чего начинаются фризы. Например в игре у меня 144 фпс. Я стою на месте и ничего не делаю. Без музыки у меня стабильно 144 фпс без просадок. Как только я включаю музыку периодически фпс может падать до 50 и мгновенно возвращаться до 144. И так в любой Continue reading...

windows 10 Why isn't my razer headset detected by the realtek control panel?
by Guest Schiop Iulia- 0 replies
- 9 views
i recently bought a new headset, that has a 3,5 mm jack, when i plug it in my laptop asks me what device did I plug in, I click on headset(with microphone), and I click ok, but it doesn't show on the control panel. When I want to set it on default device I can't do it because it does not appear on the control panel again. The default device for input is Microphone(realtek audio) and the default output device is Speakers/Headphones(realtek audio). The headset also has additional buttons such as a mute button and a sound wheel. I updated my audio drivers so I don't think that is the problem. I'm Continue reading...

Nothing in task manager either.Should I call a technician, or I can somehow fix it myself? Or some of the errors, at least?I didn't install any pirate software, only clicked 1 time on sketchy link on X/twitter that closed itself as I said before m Continue reading...

Recently I've been facing a 0xc000021a code and noticed that I am locked out of Recovery Environment since Windows asked for a password for my account. Now, I understand I cannot access RE since my local account was created through my MS account and I have done several possible actions to try and repair my PC.Here's a list of what I had done:- Accessing ASUS BIOS to see if there is a way for me to perform a reset/a repair. No result.- Restarted my laptop three times to see if I could access RE. No result.- Tried EVERY options from Advanced Boot Options, this includes Start Windows Normally (an Continue reading...

windows 10 Why is there no Windows Hardware Acceleration Security Policy for Home and Office Computers?
by Guest 007Match- 0 replies
- 7 views
The advent of Compute mode and the disappearance of GPU/CPU/Audio Processing Hardware accelerations can be summed up with a switch to security policies on Home and Office PC's.The main goal is to reduce animations yet these are usually tied into accessibility features which by default are turned on for any PC "User" for their profile performance at the expense of convenience of management and overall functions of built in PC components.The problem?Windows set registry Blocklists for vendor drivers " 1002", and "8086"Microsoft recommended driver block rules | Microsoft LearnSolution?Where did h Continue reading...

Hello.Recently my old Microsoft Account has been compromised, hacked and all my Security Details we're either changed or removed, hence why Microsoft wasn't able to restore it, which I can't understand a single bit. Everything that got onto that account over the past 10 or so years is now gone apparently, and Microsoft is able to do absolutely nothing about it?So I now, unwilling had to create a new Microsoft Account (This one) obviously. I used the same e-mail as before, as the Hacker had completely removed all my e-mails from said previous account, and due to my ADHD, it's easiest for me to Continue reading...

windows 10 Taskbar not obeying settings
by Guest james_seedorf- 0 replies
- 4 views
I have my taskbar set to "Show taskbar buttons on" "All taskbars" but after restarting my computer despite showing this setting, the actual behavior follows the "Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open" setting. I must toggle between the two every time I restart to get the desired behavior. I also have my taskbar hidden in desktop mode which seems to contribute to the issue. This is following a recent update:November 12, 2024—KB5046613 (OS Builds 19044.5131 and 19045.5131) - Microsoft Support Continue reading...

It started not working two days ago after working just fine before. It won't turn on without the corn being plugged up but can be unplugged after. If I plug it up after it will either A. Turn on automatically if I've pressed the power button, go into automatic repair screen loop (turning on, going to that screen and turning off.) of which the only way I can avoid it is pressing fn and f2, or B. Not turn on unless I press the power button but still go into a loop unless I press fn and f2. Then it's hard to get it to go past the troubleshooting screen to the login screen. Even after that the oth Continue reading...

by Guest Vicent_448- 0 replies

Hi I have recently noticed this problem which I may have had for a long time but I didn't realize it until now. The problem I am facing is that my computer is apparently not using neither the iGPU our the nvidia GPU, when I open the task manager in the performance tab the GPU section is always on 0% no matter what, also as I understand the task manager should show 2 GPUs one is the Intel integrated graphics and the other is the Nvidia GPU but it only shows the Intel graphics. Another problem is that when searching for a solution it says that I have to install the Nvidia drivers from their we Continue reading...
