Well aware, and kind of the point. With so many updates breaking people's systems, I don't want Microsoft forcing updates on me that will break my laptop. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Yeah I figured this that out, thanks. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Maybe. Only one axis works, which suggests a mechanical design, not optical. A mechanical mouse or trackball has two rollers which meter the motion in the X and Y axes. One possibility is a support holding a roller broke so one roller isn't in contact with the ball. Another possibility is the...

The lights are LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, and electricity only flows one way through diodes. Just reverse the connector. The white wire is ground and the colored wire is power. As a rule of thumb, the power pins are closer to the main power connector on the motherboard. Also refer to the...

iGPUs and the northbridge used to be on the mainboard, and PCIe is "express" because it runs through the northbridge, not the southbridge like legacy PCI. Then Intel started putting the northbridge in the CPU, which made iGPUs on the CPU die also viable. So even though the GPU is built into the...

The boot sector of a bootable CD/DVD is different from a UFD, so it's not as simple as copying the files from your UFD to an optical disc, but it can be done, just not sure about the details. However, systems have supported UFD booting for about 15 or more years, so unless you're running Win10...

@Rengway I would love to read and share it when it's ready, with your permission, of course. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

The "clean" command in diskpart wipes the partition table off the selected disk, so the NTFS master file table is no longer associated with the partition. There might be a Linux tool that can restore the MFT to a new partition but I'm not aware if that's actually possible. Most likely you're...

This might happen if it's an old game with an old DRM, like SecuROM. 64 bit Windows can't properly emulate that old code so you'd have to find a emulator (not sure if that will actually work anymore) or find a DRM-free crack. Before you try that though, have tried running in compatibility mode...

Open the Run dialog box (Win+R keyboard shortcut), type "resmon" and press enter key. Click the Network tab and click the "Receive Bytes" column header. This will show you all processes using network bandwidth, sorted from most to least. I believe the process column is called "Image" or "Image...

9/10, best Windows version to date. Only BSODs I had were the result of overclocking and a game utilizing an Intel CPU instruction on an AMD processor that didn't support it, but other than some negligible interface glitches, e.g. desktop icons not retaining their positions between reboots...

It seems to me that intuitive UI went the way of the dodo with the advent of flat, minimalistic UI. Windows 8's Metro UI, Windows 10's Fluent design, Android's Material design, etc., are featureless and indistinct. The brain has spent its entire existence processing the visible world in three...

HD is any 1280x720 or larger image. Photos taken with a hi-res camera will look better and make larger files because they have more pixels. A 1280x720 image is 0.9 megapixels, 1920x1080 is 2 megapixels. My phone's camera is 5312x2988, that's 16 megapixels and roughly 5 megabytes. The snipping...
