After searching it on google I found out it's linked to DAEMON Tools, I have now uninstalled the program but the driver is still there apparently, then after more searching I red you have to uninstall the driver with the manufacturer uninstaller (Duplex Secure).Now the problem is that if I go to the driver manufacturer website "http://www.duplexsecure.com/" it became a betting website (?). So I tried to get the installView the full article

How do I stop copilot being reinstalled on my computer? I do not want it on my computer at all but I keep finding it being reinstalled without my permission. I can keep uninstalling it every time but it's a hassle I'd rather not deal with. Something that works for Windows 10 and 11 would be good.View the full article

Hi all, I have a new gaming rig (MSI X870E + Ryzen 9800X3D) and I noticed that Windows was booting very slowly. At the last step of loading Windows, just before the login screen appears, the monitor would go black and I'd have to wait 30 seconds for the login screen to appear, with no chime. I've noticed that without my Xbox Wireless Adapter plugged in, this doesn't happen and Windows loads instantly with the normal chime. But, whenever the adapter is plugged in, I get this issue! Things I've tried: 1. Plugging it into the front of the PC and the back of the PC . 2. Trying a different Xbox WirView the full article

Sometimes it starts lagging and if I open the task manager, the disk is almost 100% used but the read/write rate is extremely slow like 10KB-5MB per seconds. I was thinking if it is a problem with my disk but if I restart my laptop, this problem usually goes away. What can be the problem? And what is the solution?
