Pop up message on start
Hi, I'm new here and needing advice. Some weeks ago, for no apparent reason, I started getting this pop up message at the end of Windows start sequence: =========================================================================== Interface List 11...c8 60 00 8a 5f d0 ......Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection 1...........................Software Loopback Interface 1 12...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Microsoft ISATAP Adapter 13...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface =========================================================================== IPv4 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: None Persistent Routes: None IPv6 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: None Persistent Routes: None It's not a show-stopper and it disappears when I click on the background but it is mildly irritating and I'd like it stop. Any help on how to do this would be gratefully received. Thanks. Regards, DavidTablet/Desktopmode X1 Yoga Gen 4 Windows 11
I bought a used X1 Yoga Gen 4 from a German refurbished website. The laptop is working perfectly with just one issue. As I flip the screen, to use the laptop as a tablet, the switch mode between tablet mode and desktop mode is pretty inconsistent. I updated several drivers, made a diagnostic run on the Lenovo website and the problem still appears. After a flip, sometimes it gets into tablet mode, but after flipping it back, it stays in the mode, the taskbar is in tablet mode and keyboard and mouse pad is shut off. I need to restart the computer and it works. I tried several software solutions, but from now, nothing worked. In win 10 there have been a button on the pop up menu, or with win + A, that can toggle between tablet and desktop mode. It seems, that windows 11 deleted this possibility completely. I tried to do this manually with a ai suggested .bat Skript, that toggles between the two modes, or set the status to desktop or, tablet but this had no effect. Despairing of the solution methods, it could be the sensor... Does anyone else got this problems with win 11 and more importantly, would anyone have a suggestion for a solution? Thank you.Volume decreases after enabling Enhanced Audio in Windows 11
After enabling the “Enhanced Audio” feature in System Settings, the playback volume noticeably decreases; when this feature is disabled, the volume returns to normal. Even without enabling any specific audio effects, simply toggling this feature on and off results in a noticeable difference in volume. I would like to understand the specific purpose of this feature and why this phenomenon occurs.OBS interface randomly turns pitch black, except preview and program windows
Os - Windows 11, GPU - GTX 1650 Ti (laptop). Issue persists, I've updated Nvidia GPU drivers, updated OBS itself, but this thing keeps on for several months. When this is happening, I kinda locked in that, the only thing that helps me, is "Fold all windows" (I do it with three fingers swipe down on touchpad) and then I go to Desktop manager where I pin OBS to the side, then UI re-renders and everything works again. Couldn't find anything on the web, all searches lead me to Black Screen capture issue, which is not my case. Would be grateful for any advice.Programs keep randomly crashing/reloading and so does my computer and I don't know why.
Hello! I hope this is the right place for this. I apologize in advance for the uncertain rambling. Computer stuff baffles me a bit. You might have to treat me like a little old grandparent despite being twentysomething. My laptop is an acer Predator Helios Neo 16, running Windows 11 Home. My system settings say that my RAM is "32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)", my processor is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX (2.20 GHz)", my system type "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor". The graphics coprocessor is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. (I'm not sure what CPU and GPU mean in this context so I hope that was answered here.) Lately, a lot of things have been crashing. Mostly Firefox randomly eating it (or Chrome, when I try to use that instead) and either needing me to refresh or restart the service completely--sometimes the tab crashes, sometimes the whole thing does; sometimes it even loses what I was doing in that tab/the window--but Discord keeps reloading mid-sentence, too. It doesn't crash entirely so much as just reload randomly and often.Should I buy a 256gb ssd+external drive or a 512gb ssd model?
I'm thinking of getting a m4 MacBook air and the cheapest one available is a 256gb model. Should I get the 256gb model and use an external ssd that I already have or buy the 512gb model. I mostly do graphic design and use programs such as photoshop, illustrator, and Indesign. I used a 2019 MacBook air with 128gb of storage+external ssd up until last year and it still worked fine before I switched to a Windows laptop.How is the Chrome MCP so bad?
I can't be the only one having trouble using the Claude on chrome mcp right? It worked well for like a week and then suddenly Claude can't use chrome anymore. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not work, I've enabled everything I could, it just simply cannot use chrome, even though the claude inside chrome itself works just fine. The problem seemed to start when I opened a chrome window with another Google account. It seemed to have permanently confused Claude. I don't know if that's the cause but seems like it. Anyone got any solutions? What made Claude so addictive to develop with is it can just do all the admin and configuration stuff I hate to do or don't know how to do. It sucks when Claude can't do it then tries to give me instructions to do it. I find myself not wanting to continue developing anymore.
