Guys, i have a web application running on Windows 2025. Occasionally, the application experiences bursts of over 500 simultaneous connections. Even though, the server showing less than 10% CPU utilization and about 75% of RAM still available, I am encountering "connection refused" errors. I can see Windows Performance counter TCPv4 / Connection Failures change when this happens. There is no antivirus deployed during my test, and Windows defender is off. i have seen similar issues on Windows 2019 and 2022 also. I suspected SynAttack detection, but the TCP diagnostic counters for SynAttack detection dont know any values. It appears to me that there is some Windows OS limitation that causes this issue. Does anybody encounter this situation before?Babu_SundaramJul 31, 2025Copper Contributor190Views0likes5CommentsPossible virus - discoloured bookmarks icons in Edge and Chrome
Hi I think my desktop and laptop may be infected with a virus - in both edge and chrome icons are appearing with discoloration (please see photo) - It is happening on the laptop as well as desktop. It's the youtube icon that is altered but some others are changed too - when hovering over the the other icons they appear normal. Apart from these discoloured icons all other computer functions seem ok. I've done a full scan with defender and malware bytes and they were both clear - can anyone recommend what next steps should be taken? EDIT: Forgot to say my laptop is running Windows 10 and desktop is running Windows 11.charles2200Jan 21, 2023Copper Contributor2.2KViews1like5CommentsAny updates on the Xbox Game Core?
The technology in Windows kernel or core, called Game Core. which lets PC users install the Same Xbox games on their Windows 10 systems. Microsoft tested this with the game State of Decay 1. but that's just it, no news for months. the Kernel of Windows 10 has seen lots of changes such as the Linux kernel being added to it and now the compatibility with Xbox kernel. I wish i could find a Microsoft docs about this feature but only 3rd party websites post about this, not sure why! the news articles covering it: https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/operating-systems/matthew-wilson/microsoft-appears-to-be-bringing-xbox-game-compatibility-to-windows/ https://www.thurrott.com/games/200140/microsofts-evolving-gaming-strategy-takes-a-giant-step-forward8.3KViews1like4CommentsAbout recommend hardware for the next version of windows in the future
I am a loyal Microsoft Windows user. Now, I have a small problem: I want to upgrade my computer to Windows 11 but my hardware does not meet the requirements; I need to upgrade the hardware for it. I am also a loyal AMD Threadripper Pro user. I see the minimum requirement is Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5945WX. I want to ask when Windows 12 is released, will it still be supported? And Win 13, Win 14 in the future. I do not have the conditions to change the hardware every time there is a new version of Windows. If it is not supported, I may have to learn to switch to another operating system. P/s: Don't ask me why it have to be Ryzen Threadripper Pro or Recommend another one, Just say I want to use Ryzen threadripper pro to experience playing Pikachu in 1080p mode more smoothly.quanbeoJul 16, 2025Copper Contributor207Views0likes4CommentsWindows Task Manager
