Slow Printing HP Futuresmart 5.9.0.2
Hello everyone, I am testing Universal Print with an HP MFP running Futuresmart 5.9.0.2, and overall I find it quite interesting 😀 However, it is extremely difficult to get support from printer manufacturers, and there is very little feedback or shared experience available 😢 During my tests, I noticed internal processing delays (=DownloadTime–FinalTime) on the HP MFP that vary without any apparent Reason (printing PDF from W11/EDGE and content-type is Application/PDF). In addition, I observed significant differences in internal processing time for certain documents (such as plans) between Universal Print Cloud printing and direct TCP/IP 9100 printing. The delay increases from 2 minutes of processing to 3 minutes. I contacted HP support, but it is very complicated to get assistance regarding Universal Print. Do you have any insights? How should I proceed? Thank you in advance, and have a great day ☀️
About Limitations of NonePaged Pool Size in Windows 10
Hello, I'm a developer working on an image processing program in the Windows 10 operating system. I use technologies such as CUDA and RDMA in my program. Both of these technologies have the feature of registering specific memory areas to none-paged pool and performing operations(RDMA Send or cudaHostAlloc). However, in Windows 10, there is an option that enforces a limit on the size of the non-paged pool, which is set to 75% of the total memory and the smaller of 128GB. Since I work with extremely large images loaded into memory, I use over 1TB of memory and Because of 75% of this exceeds 700GB, the non-paged pool is limited to 128GB. Consequently, even if I load images larger than 500GB into RAM, CUDA cannot access more than 128GB using cudaHostAlloc, and I cannot set the RDMA transfer buffer size to more than 128GB either. While Linux allows for flexibility in releasing such restrictions, there doesn't seem to be a way to release this limit in Windows 10. Do you know of a way to release this limit, or are there any plans to do so in the future? I think that the 128GB limit on a PC with over 1TB of RAM is too small.Upgraded W 10 to W11 now taking 10-15minutes to boot
After upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, my system now takes between 10 to 15 minutes to fully boot up, which is extremely slow compared to the previous performance. I'm experiencing delays during startup that make my computer nearly unusable initially, and I haven't made any significant hardware changes, so I'm unsure what is causing this extended boot time.The FPS display in the top-right corner of the desktop in Windows 11systems is not applicable.
The performance monitoring overlay window persistently displays an FPS warning in the top-right corner of the system desktop, even though the computer is functioning normally. How can I disable this display?
activate windows popup stuck on screen after upgrading cpu and motherboard
When I had gotten this computer it originally had a pretty bad CPU and motherboard, so recently I switched them out a few days ago for much better tech, but now the little transparent "activate windows" popup is stuck on my screen even though I still have the same exact hard drive (and everything but the new CPU and motherboard) still installed. I've tried to troubleshoot and even go through the BIOS to figure out how I can fix the issue but the troubleshooter says "unable to activate windows" and I even click the "I have changed hardware recently" button, but it just tells me "the digital license for this device has already been used to reactivate windows" and I need to buy a new version of windows. it also says I can update to windows 11 but I am not, for the life of me, going to do that. If there are ANY solutions that anyone else has had for this same issue, that would be greatly appreciated but if nothing works its not going to kill me to just buy a new product key. also the new CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600x and the motherboard is a MSI MAG b550 tomahawk max WIFI.Cannot printscreen contextual menu?
Simple question, normally printscreen was just... taking a printscreen. Now it offers you option, so it causes problem. If opening contextual menu on Desktop (Right Click) then doing printscreen... then you have to click anywhere to take a printscreen (select a zone) and it just fails. So there is no way to take a printscreen in that case.Remove the "Update and Shutdown" option
About to go home last night at 7pm and shut down my work PC, but windows has an update. So I selected "Update and Shutdown" and left the office. Today when I clocked in and pressed the power button, I was immediately on the lock screen and when I checked the Up time, it showing as 14 hours. I have "Turn on Fast startup" unchecked on my PC. To microsoft, why don't you just remove the "Update and shutdown" option if all you really wanted to do is to "Update and restart" it? The concerning part about this is the computer is turned on, idling for 14 hours, just wasting electricity. Luckily my work PC is just a laptop but for the majority of work places whose work PCs are desktop which chugs more power even when idle, this is such a waste of electricity. It's ironic that windows 11 has a "Energy recommendations" in System -> Power & battery which says on the smaller text "Lower your carbon footprint...". Lol microsoft, no, YOU lower your carbon footprint by just following what the user selected when turning off their computers, which is "Update and Shutdown".
date and time
Hello, i am having a problem with the clock on my computer. The time zone is correct for my place of residence, but i was surprised twice that the clock is wrong, it is a full hour ahead of the correct time in my country... i corrected the clock manually and made sure that the time zone is correct... but i had the same problem again after two days. i asked Microsoft support but they couldn't find the solution. so please help me if you had the same problem or know How to fix it.
Win10 failed to upgrade to Win11 via built-in updates. After restarting, it remained on Win10.
When upgrading a Windows 10 Home PC (C drive at 89GB, with over 10GB free space) to Windows 11 via the official update tool, the system reboots after reaching 100% progress but reverts back to the Windows 10 interface. During the upgrade, a prompt requested at least 10GB of external storage space; a 120GB USB drive was used to complete the operation. All data on the C drive must be preserved. Seeking a non-formatting method to repair the upgrade.
Windows 10 information does not display CPU and storage details.
After removing ACE-related components, system information fails to display CPU and storage device details, while games relying on machine code verification cannot recognize the hardware. Seeking methods to restore system information display and repair the machine code.I don't want to update the Windows 11 system version.
The system frequently prompts for updates, and the pause option is grayed out and cannot be clicked. I heard that the new version will lose hard drive data, so I don't dare to upgrade it casually. Is there a reliable way to permanently disable updates?
