Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update 1709 wiped my account! [SOLVED]

Nevermind, to any readers concerned, I found the answer myself: You have to use regedit with administrator privileges and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList there, look for the current profile image path of - in my case - the account that's...

Windows 10: I want to move to a new user profile

Some things arent working so well anymore in my current User Profile (it is a local account with administrator privileges) so I decided to create a new one and basically make that my main one, transfer all data over and then delete this one. Now, the way I figured it, for the contents of my...

Windows 10: All my Apps stop working when I added and logged into a 2nd account!

I bought a new laptop for myself and my mom wants to occasionally use it too, so we need two accounts for my stuff and her stuff. When I first set up the PC, I set up a local account (administrator privileges) under just my first name, just like things used to be in Windows 7 and prior. Then...

Given that 1080P is basically the minimum standard for desktops, why not laptops?

Well I got a Full HD 15.4" laptop, an IPS panel to boot, for €599 which is around $680 from a site as mainstream as amazon, compared to cheaper electronics-only places like newegg.

Any new tech coming for laptops soon?

Any ideas when the M versions of the 10 series cards will release? Did the M versions of the 9 series cards release with significant delay compared to the desktop Pc cards?

Graphical glitch on brand new Toshiba L50-C-241 please help

Thanks for the input guys. I will playtest the laptop over the next couple days (actually browsing and other stuff might be more relevant than playing games because in the latter case the intel HD is not used and the nvidia 930m kicks in) and I'll let you know if it happens again. I'll also try...

So I bought a new laptop from amazon and unboxed it today. It comes with Windows 10 pre-installed, no extra discs or anything; anyway, when I turned the laptop on the initial setup commenced, and then once that finished I was at the desktop. One of my first actions was to check out whether...

This is really weird. So I have a 1TB HDD which in reality only has 931GB of space (I know why that is the case, lol, different story) Until yesterday, I had occupied some 929.7 or 929.8 GB of it, so that My Computer only showed about 1.2 GB of space remaining. Now I know a lot of people say...

Problem with my GTX 295

Well I really don't remember how much I overclocked it, 25% was just a rough (and wrong) guess. EDIT: I dug up my old log and these are the notes that I have taken (can't make much sense of them now, but hopefully you can read into it): My stock settings were: 576 1242 1008 I OC'ed it to...

read my original post, please. I already mentioned there that I disabled Multi-GPU ("SLI", if you will, although these aren't two independent cards, remember) in the Nvidia Control panel and that solves the problem, but it's not really a "solution". I have changed drivers and experimented with...
