Build 27802 and problems with game launcher applications
For a long time - also for the needs of insider testing of subsequent builds - I have been launching various types of games to check their operation. Unfortunately, on the latest Canary build (27802) there was a problem that occurred on the ASUS ROG Strix G553QS laptop I was testing with a Ryzen 7 5800H processor and an Nvidia GForce 3080 card (I will check tomorrow another laptop that I have), which prevents the launch of a number of games that use so-called own launchers (e.g. with displayed information content) - because these launchers do not activate. And so - in the case of Ubisoft Connect (from Ubisoft) - the launcher does not start, throwing the message "Uplay has detected an unrecoverable error and must shut down. Crash dump created at (...)", although the file with the error dump does not contain any content - it is empty; - in the case of the Elder Scrolls Online game, the launcher window opens, but using the "Play" button in the launcher throws a message about the game launch process crashing, suggesting damage to the file structure (although such damage is not confirmed by the game file verification module); - in the case of the Elite Dangerous game, which also uses the launcher on Steam, after pressing the Play icon (the "Play" button for a game on Steam), the cursor wheel grinds for a moment and the "Play" message is restored - as if the launch process had been stopped. The problem does not affect several other games that start directly (without the participation of separate launchers) on Steam. As I wrote, I will verify the problem tomorrow on another laptop of mine and check on a desktop computer (although yesterday these games worked on a desktop computer). If any of you have an ASUS ROG laptop, I would like to ask you to confirm whether you are noticing similar problems. DISM.exe verification did not confirm any errors in the build structure on the tested laptop.
Logitech Brio stop working after windows 11 build 22581 update (Beta channel)
Hello, I've just installed Windows 11 build 22581 from the Windows Insider Beta channel last night. Since then, my Logitech Brio camera stop working. My Logitech Brio was configured on my computer for Windows Hello facial authentication, so I'm sure it was working just fine before the update since I use it each time I'm logging in. I've tested the camera on antoher compter, it works fine. I've updated the camera to the latest firmware on this other computer just in case, but it doesn't help. Back on my main computer, the camera still appears in the Device Manager, but the device is not accessible from apps like the Camera app. I've tried the uninstall the device, then perform a scan to add it back in. The device is added but is not working... When I try the "Restore driver" option, it says that "the driver is not build for this plateform" Finally, I've tried to switch from the Beta to the Dev channel, just in case a fix was already available. But this seems not to be the case. So here I am Thanks in advance for you help.
The differences for these security features on Windows
Hello i’m writing an essay about windows privacy features and i just want to know which ones are security and which ones are privacy features because I’m getting mixed answers from my class mates. If one of the features that i’ve mentioned is a security feature can you tell me and give me a privacy feature instead. Diagnostic Data Control (Telemetry settings) App permission Activity History Control Location Services Windows HelloSubtitles not available when casting device to Windows
I've looked elsewhere online & didn't find any joy so I expect this isn't possible without additional program. I'm casting an .mkv file to TV, using the native "Cast to Device" feature under the right click option. Is there a way to access the subtitles baked into the .mkv file? Playing file on desktop shows subtitles so I know they're there. There seem to be several third party programs that may do it, and cast directly from the program, but nothing from the native "Cast to Device" feature?What does OneSettings really do and how does it differ from Windows Update?
Hi! So, in my quest to debloat, enhance privacy, decrease the amount of background processes and improve usability, and in particular to avoid that Windows keeps installing stuff that I don't want (apps, optional components, older drivers), I came across the option to disable OneSettings downloads in the "data collection and preview builds" in gpedit. The description says If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Windows will periodically attempt to connect with the OneSettings service to download configuration settings. But, WHICH configuration settings? To configure what? And how does it differ from the things that Windows Update installs specifically for my system (like drivers etc)?Disable drop shadows problem
I have a program that, every time it starts, I have to click a button to disable drop shadows. I am trying to find a way of PERMANENTLY disabling DS and I have tried all the suggested fixtures such as unchecking boxes in sys.cpl\advanced\view etc and unchecked all relevant boxes but this seems to be just a temporary measure as, next time I go into my program I have to manually disable drop shadows again from there. So, is there any way to permanently disable DS ??? Thanks
