    Question What is the difference between net.exe and net1.exe ?

    I am unable to find official Microsoft documentation on why these 2 seemingly identical commands exist. I found some forum posts indicating net1.exe was added way back in the late 90's as a temporary Y2K solution, but that suggests the two executables are actually different. As far as I can...

    Question Pixel 5 keeps losing wifi and cell connectivity

    I am trying to help my friend overcome his Pixel 5 woes. He has tried every suggestion he has found online, but his phone just will not keep a wifi connection, and it often loses the cell connection to his carrier. Every time he puts it down, if he picks it up an hour later, he has to reset...

    Question Is there anything I can do to increase throughput with AirPlay ?

    I'm sure I will, but I don't think I need one. The TV has most of the apps I use (Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc.), really the only one it is missing is SportsNet. The app supports casting, which works perfectly with the built-in casting (the non-Ultra version of casting). So I am not sure i'll...

    Question Is there anything I can do to increase throughput with AirPlay ?

    I don't have a Mac nor an Apple TV. My Vizio TV added support for AirPlay, which does work, but is pretty choppy. I send the signal over from my iPhone 8+ and the TV picks it up right away. However, you can't really watch sports this way since it pauses about every 3 or 4 seconds. The TV and...

    Solved! How can I prevent Windows from reacting when my son turns on the TV?

    Pretty sure that worked. We'll keep trying it out, but we also made a discovery. The 1060 GTX has multiple outputs but only 1 of them is HDMI. I needed to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to plug in both the ultrawidescreen and the TV. The GPU insisted that the TV plugged in via the DP...

    Question How much improvement can I expect with only a new GPU?

    That was stressful. I followed a video I found on overclocking my exact mobo. It suggested to use the Turbo Ratio settings instead of the multiplier, and then also decrease the CPU PLL voltage from 1.80 to 1.65. I made both changes and the PC refused to boot. Worse, it wouldn't even bring up...

    Question How much improvement can I expect with only a new GPU?

    Hmm, that is interesting. Yes, I saw that the 1060 is min spec for that game. It does run, just lags from time to time. And since it is a knight free-for-all, lagging from time to time kind of ruins the fun. Well I certainly could try to OC the 3570 then if that is the bottleneck. I did buy...

    Question How much improvement can I expect with only a new GPU?

    I built a system a number of years ago. It has been great for games up until recently, but now my sons are complaining that they get lag when playing games such as Mordhau. It is probably time to upgrade it, but don't want to build an entirely new rig if I can avoid it. The one I built : Core...

    Solved! How can I prevent Windows from reacting when my son turns on the TV?

    Hmmm, ok, thanks. I'll order one and see if that improves the situation. @MR. Evil - I have the HDMI cable plugged into the back of the Soundbar. You have to switch the soundbar to HDMI IN on the front panel to actually get output from the TV. But that is not the default. When the soundbar...

    Solved! How can I prevent Windows from reacting when my son turns on the TV?

    I have a PC with a 6GB 1060 GPU. There is an ultra-wide on the desk, and I ran a 35-foot HDMI cable through the ceiling so that I can use the 65-inch Roku TV as an output if I want to. The cable connects to the back of an LG Soundbar, which in turn is connected via HDMI to the TV. It all...

    Question Dual Monitor setup: Pairing gaming monitor with ultrawide

    My 2 cents.... I have an ultrawide on the desk, and I went for a vertical stack with my second on top. I built a simple wooden stand for the top monitor to rest on. It looked great at the outset, and was an efficient use of deskspace. It also caused significant neck pain. I had no idea...

    Question How to best make use of a NVMe hard drive?

    Thanks for the update, I just performed the same procedure with Macrium. Worked like a charm. But I went from a 5400 to a NVMe and the difference is hilarious. As a side note, I initially tried Partition Wizard, but Win10 refused to boot when I switched the boot drives in my BIOS. It's...

    Question Question about NVMe and changing my boot drive.

    I moved from a 5400 old-school drive which came with my laptop to a new Nvme. I deliberately bought the same size (1 TB) so that I didn't have to worry about partition sizes. I used Macrium Reflect to clone the partitions, then went into my BIOS and changed the boot drive. Worked perfectly...

    Question [Question] Why does the display switch to the TV when someone turns it on?

    OK, thanks. I figured out how to use the option "Make this my main display" which deserves an entry in the sub-reddit /r/CrappyDesign. You actually have to select one of the two blue rectangles at the top of that page, and then scroll down to the very bottom of that page where that option will...

    Question [Question] Why does the display switch to the TV when someone turns it on?

    I have Win10 set up with an LG widescreen monitor via HDMI, connected to a 6GB 1060 GTX. I ran a second HDMI cable through the joists in the ceiling to emerge behind the TV, and it is connected to an LG SoundBar, which in turn is connected via HDMI to the TV. Everything works. I can use the...

    Question Is there a tool to switch both default audio and display with one click?

    I have Win10 with a widescreen monitor and 1060 GTX card. I use Hue Sync to watch movies on my TV (which requires a computer). I've run an HDMI cable through the joists in the ceiling so that it comes out behind the TV. It is connected to an LG SoundBar (SB). When I want to watch a movie, I...

    Windows 10 Won't Boot.. Stuck on Blinking Cursor / Black Screen

    For the record, agree 100% with deustroop. I assumed there was some legacy reason OP chose MBR over UEFI, but that may have been an incorrect assumption. MBR is ancient (dates from early 80's) and should only be used if there is no other option.

    Why does win10 always start "display settings" ?

    Went to a customer site to fix a number of issues. Their reception desk had a large number of programs auto-starting among other things. I've cleared them out, but now every time the computer finishes booting into Win10, the last thing it does is open the Display Settings. I don't see...

    How do I hide purchased games from my son on PS4?

    OK, it has stayed listed under "Purchased", and did not re-download. Based on your reply, I suspect that his older brother may have been the cause of the downloading. At any rate, it no longer shows up under my youngest son's profile which was the objective. I can see it only under the main...

    How do I hide purchased games from my son on PS4?

    Hi, While my son was at school, I bought some games on Black Friday sales today from the online PS4 store directly on the console. As soon as my 9-year old got off the school bus and went to play NHL, he immediately discovered the new games. Fortunately his mother was quick on her feet and...

    Question about SSID and if they should be the same.

    Thanks for the replies, they were very helpful. @XavierMace, yes, mesh networking is exactly the behaviour I am trying to emulate. I've read reviews of Google Wifi and Ubiquiti AmplyFi, interesting stuff. @my2devnull - That article was very well written. I'll see if my devices support...

    Question about SSID and if they should be the same.

    I have a Sagecom HomeHub 2000 provided by my ISP. I have set it up so that the 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi have the identical SSID. That works well. In order to reach the back of the house, I bought a Ubiquiti LR Access Point, and originally set that up on its own SSID. I did the same thing, 2.4 and...

    Best way to hook up PC to TV from across the room?

    Thanks. It's a full-house gut. Every wall and ceiling is currently open. The electrician is laying dual lines of 5e to every room. I discussed cat6 with him, he can do that but the cabling costs roughly double and requires Cat6 everything. He will also run 4 lines between where the computer...

    Hi, My basement is being redone. The walls and ceiling are open, I have the opportunity to string whatever I want behind them before they are drywalled. I'm having Cat6 run all over the house, including through the basement ceiling where it will come out behind the TV for consoles (PS4, XB1)...

    Computer keeps restarting just after POST

    Hi, that was it. Holy @#$!@!#$#@, that was a long process. By the time I figured out the BIOS settings to allow for onboard video and removed the GTX 570, my many many attempts to fix the MBR had permanently pooched it. I bought a brand new SSD, installed Win10 on that, and then had exactly...

    Computer keeps restarting just after POST

    OK, thanks. I reinstalled Win10. The installation went smoothly, no issues. Then it said, ok, need to reboot, and..... same issue. It boots, puts up the BIOS screen, the Win10 logo with spinning dots, then the screen goes black and it reboots again. If I leave it on, it just cycles like...

    Computer keeps restarting just after POST

    Computer has been working fine for years. When Win10 was available, upgraded to it from Win 8.1 just a week or two after Win10 release. Have been regularly updating it since. I was reading mail when I decided to launch a game to kill 20 mins. The game started, but then the computer shut...

    How do I prevent a driver from being updated?

    :-) There is a system sound from the PC speaker which reminds me of the days when many computers did not have sound cards. Clicking the mouse makes it beep, as does releasing the button. Moving the mouse pointer makes it beep repeatedly until you stop moving it. Here is another user's...

I have an XBOX One Wireless adapter for Windows so that my sons can use XBOne controllers on the PC. It worked just fine up...
