windows 11 Washed out laptop screen and unsupported graphics card
by Guest Aziz Maxkamov- 0 replies
- 5 views
Several days ago, I tried clicking the armory crate button on my Asus tuf f15 laptop, I was asked to download it from asus website. After downloading and installing armory crate, I clicked again the armory crate button on my keyboard and the page popped up. All settings that armory crate should have were right there. I started learning them one by one, and even trying if necessary. Then I subconsciously or consciously changed some random settings which I think was gpu performance settings (like ultimate, standard, eco mode, optimized). After changing them to one of them, then my screen washed Continue reading...

windows 11 How can I delete the data in CrossDevice folder?
by Guest Rheime- 0 replies

I was surprised to see that my laptop only had 21Gb remaining in my 235Gb OS(C:) drive. I checked all of the files to see the storage space they occupy and saw that there's a missing 55Gb that is apparently getting occupied but was not included in the files that are visible to me. I found out that it was in the "C:\Users\(laptop_user_name)\CrossDevice\(phone name)" folder. I assume that from the syncing between my phone and my laptop since the content inside of it are my files from my phone, with the file names and such. The same amount of storage was also occupied in my phone, but this includ Continue reading...

by Guest BillDearborn- 0 replies

While using File Explorer to browse files on networked PCs the Network Folder disappeared from File Explorer. There is no way to select any networked device as the folder is gone. I can't get the folder back. I know the network is working because I am using it to access the internet to ask this question. The PC is a Surface Pro 7 running Windows 11, version 24H2 installed on 11/16/2024.

windows 10 输入法自动切换为英文，如何解决
by Guest 雪强 张- 0 replies
- 0 views
您好， 在我们日常使用win自带的输入法的时候，经常会自己切换成英文“中”字图标切换成“英”字，并没有进行输入法的切换。举个例子： 将输入法切换为中文，鼠标右键点击任务栏，打开任务栏中的任务管理器（k），然后输入法就会由‘中’，跳变为‘英’，关闭任务管理器，并不会由“英”切换为‘中’，严重干扰了日常操作。希望可以尽快处理。 Continue reading...

windows 10 Hi, I need help installing or reinstalling Windows
by Guest DargeH- 0 replies

I bought a new PC since my old one got damaged, but because I changed everything, I can't boot Windows from my old SSD. I made an USB stick to install windows, but it doesn't seem to offer me the chance to select in which disc I want to install it (I have 3), it just wants to overwrite the install I have on the new disc if I boot from there and if I boot from the USB, the only way I can do it is formatting the disc but I want to keep my old stuff. Am I doing something wrong? I should unplug the other discs and just leave the one in which I want to reinstall Windows?Thanks! Continue reading...

hello! so my computer had this problem where it would install windows 11 (my computer can't handle windows 11 right now) without my consent probably once a month or so, and every time it did this i'd have to go into my settings and revert it, was pretty annoying, but at least fixable, but a few weeks ago i went to revert it to windows 10 as usual and somewhere along the way my screen went totally black for a while, maybe 30 minutes, which it had never done before, so i foolishly turned off the computer and turned it back on expecting that to reset the install, but all it did was corrupt my win Continue reading...

by Guest massachusetts123- 0 replies

I have Win. 10. on PC. File Explorer has always appeared fine. (even with prior Windows versions)Just recently, the Path at top of home page/"File" page shows the Path to begin with: "C:\Users\myname\ in front of anyfolder or file that I select.It also shows within the list of folders/files in File Explorer with each file showing this full path. It's taking up too much space that I cannot read across for the listing of a File name and its Details. Very annoying.I prefer to see just the File Name, and details read across the line. And not "C:\Users\myname\ in front and taking up space. Continue reading...
