No audio when plugging in headphones and playback devices won't open
by Guest MikoTienzo- 0 replies
- 160 views
Hey guys, So I bought this laptop about a year and a half ago for school but in the last couple of weeks, it has been acting up more than usual. When booting up my laptop, there is no audio for my headphones (Logitech G430 Gaming Headset). This gets deeper than playback devices. So I tried opening playback devices and it wouldn't open up as in no new window popped up. There are those bars on the volume indicating how loud it is and I am also able to change playback devices by left clicking the volume on the bottom right, but there is still no difference. The headphones does not have have audio. I have tried going into services.msc and starting Plug and Play, Windows …

Why can't I turn off Battery Saver?
by Guest Michael Jeffrey Pantastico- 0 replies
- 251 views
I just have a question on why I can no longer turn off battery saver and on why it is now perpetually on? Even when my battery is above 90% it still appears to be on, evident from the green icon on the bottom left of the battery icon. When I try to turn it off from the action center, clicking on the battery saver tile has no effect and there is also no option to turn it off in the battery settings. Continue reading...

- 197 views
So I just updated my windows 10 not long ago, a friend of mine use this computer to check his outlook account and now my taskbar will not lock even when I tick the "lock the taskbar" option. On top of that I keep having a windows command prompt in the taskbar that is constantly appearing and disappearing and it won't let me stop the process in the task manager. Don't know whats going on but the automated help wasn't very helpful at all and so I'm forced to ask for human help. Please help, this is pissing me off and I'm at my wits end as I am not a very tech savvy person. Thank you Continue reading...

Tiles vs Desktop start up screen
by Guest Cheri Woods- 0 replies
- 158 views
What settings do I go to so that my Windows 10 tiles is my start mode instead of it going to the desktop all the time and then I have to pull up the tiles start screen with the Windows button? In Windows 8 if I wanted to go to the desktop, I'd hit the show desktop button, but now I automatically go to the desktop and the only time I get my tiles to show is specifically by hitting the Windows button on the taskbar by Cortana's search bar.

I've got an nVidia 960 GPU, it has 4 display ports 1 HDMI and 3 Display Ports. For my main screen im using an Asus Predator which works perfectly while connected directly to de HDMI port. However, i have a Samsung TV with an HDMI port connection that i hooked up as a dual extended monitor, i used a HDMI to DP adapter and it was working just fine, that was until one day i heard about the Windows Key + P shortcut to display settings. I used that thing ONCE to show "only main screen" and since then no matter how much i change it back to extend it wont detect my TV as a second screen. I would really like to know how to either revert it or fix it. Thank you for your time,…

Do wireless earbuds even work with Windows 10 Bluetooth?
by Guest Astoma- 0 replies
- 299 views
I have this pair of wireless earbuds that I use with my phone, and ever since my audio jack broke, I have been waiting on a USB headset. In the meantime, I've had to put my phone or something under my laptop's audio jack to keep my audio devices still so the audio doesn't shift to one side, lose all bass, lose all sound in general, or disconnect. The port is incredibly loose, and is very frustrating to try and use. So, I decided today I'd try my wireless earbuds, and they are not showing up when I go to my Bluetooth settings to add them. Other devices show up, but my earbuds are not on the list. I've been looking around, and I haven't seen anyone asking about this, only a…

Windows 10 update fails yet again - June 2018
by Guest UserAbuser- 0 replies
- 136 views
So here we go again. There have been 3 major updates to the WIN 10 OS and all have been colossal failures. They take over your computer for 6-10 hours or more, crash, reinstall previous version.... repeat. This is truly a horror story yet again. On the first update, I lost use of my computer for a week while it **** around with these failures. The 2nd, almost a month of interruptions. And on this latest one, just had the first 6+ hour steal and crash. I write this on my Mac which is quickly becoming my system of choice given these ineptitudes. MS try hiring some competent programmers who can send out updates that actually work quickly and efficiently the first time! I loo…

Windows automatically lowering volume during a voice call.
by Guest CynicalManatee- 0 replies
- 204 views
After the Recent Update, Windows seems to have defaulted a lot of my sound settings. One of the things I cannot seem to fix is the sound attenuation feature. When ever the other person talks during a voice call. the sound of all media, including game volume and spotify volume gets lowered, and it slowly raises back to normal. I have tried deselecting audio enhancing in the device selection. I set it to do nothing in the communications tab. I have turned of the voice programs own attenuation feature but sound still gets lowered. I Don't know what to do and attenuation is very distracting for me to use. Continue reading...

OneDrive downloading EVERY file after resetting OneDrive login.
by Guest P-ER-Armstrong- 0 replies
- 181 views
I am FED UP with Microsoft for dismissing this issue. EVERY time OneDrive hiccups and logs itself out, it wants to download EVERY file. EVERY TIME I have had to do a restore of my computer, OneDrive has wanted to download EVERY file. Microsoft's official response, "what's your problem? OneDrive is doing what it is supposed to do. It is syncing your files." Well Microsoft, OneDrive is NOT doing what it is supposed to do. Syncing files means COMPARING what EXISTS and making a determination if a download is necessary. 1) If a file has the same file size, file name, file dates and times. You can bet the file has NOT changed. 2) OneDrive could do a CRC compariso…
