    Windows 10 What the hell? Sounds usually slowed down to 10-20% of normal!

    For most of the last several days, my computer's sound output (using nVidia GeForce GTX 750) has been slowed down by 80 or 90%! How can that possibly happen? Usually a reboot doesn't fix the problem. Even when I run the audio troubleshooter, the sound frequencies remain absurdly low. At one...

    Windows 7 Sleep is gone, and no suggested solutions work

    Thanks for your reply! In that control panel, next to "When I press the sleep button" the displayed pull-down menu (i.e., the current setting) is completely blank. The only other available option is "Do nothing". So Sleep is not grayed out, it is missing entirely. There is no link or anything...

    Windows 7 Sleep is gone, and no suggested solutions work

    "Sleep" is completely gone in my shutdown menu, but none of the many "solutions" I've found all over the web actually do anything for me. The main reason none of them work is because every suggestion I've seen naively assume I've disabled it one way or another rather than it being utterly gone...

    Windows 10 How to re-download/re-install WMP 12?

    Thanks for your reply! But as I said in my OP, I am NOT running N or K or KN editions. I've got the English-US Pro edition. I've downloaded the wmplayer 12 installer for the "N" edition, but it would not install because I'm running the EN-US edition.

    Windows 10 How to re-download/re-install WMP 12?

    Also, Please, please do not suggest a repair install of Windows 10! I've spent MONTHS setting up my system exactly the way I want it, yet even a repair install will massively screw me over!! I'd far rather kill myself than re-install Windows 10!

    Windows 10 How to re-download/re-install WMP 12?

    But as I said in my OP, it's absolutely not there. Neither is "Media Features". So I still need help.

    Windows 10 How to re-download/re-install WMP 12?

    I've always hated Windows Media Player, so after I installed 64-bit Windows 10 Pro (EN-US - NOT N or K), I uninstalled WMP 12 and was happy. But now I'm trying to install a new application called PlayOn Desktop, but it always fails because I don't have WMP installed. I've tried using Optional...

    Windows 10 CHKDSK on Win 10 works incompatibly with Win 7?

    This is extremely aggravating and puzzling: I have both Windows 10 Pro (build 1703) and Windows 7 Pro (service pack 2 with the latest updates) installed on different NTFS disks/partitions on the same computer (actually, I have two computers with both installed). Here's the aggravating problem...

    Windows 7 Please help fix boot failure due to driver issue WITHOUT Repair Install

    I ran into a problem booting 64-bit Windows 7 Pro on another computer. I'd applied the September updates, but since I use it so seldom, I stupidly failed to create a full backup, and so my most recent is from mid-July. :o It was running perfectly when I last shut it down, but when I tried to...

    Windows 10 Win 10 Tablet Sees USB drives, but does NOT see any data!

    I'm running 32-bit Windows 10 Pro on a Toshiba Encore 2, model WT10-A tablet. I can always boot it successfully from any UEFI USB flash drive (both 2.0 & 3.0), but when I insert either type when running Windows -- although they show up in both the Device Manager and the Disk Manager -- they...

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    Thanks for your reply, BIGBEARJEDI, but I actually solved the problem last night, when after making the changes I'm about to describe, I got 90-95 Mbps several times in a row, and I'm still getting that now! I feel pretty damn stupid for not thinking of this much earlier, but I fortuitously...

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    Important Info! I booted up a Live Zorin 12 USB and confirmed the networking configuration was visually identical to the main 64-bit Win 10 Pro settings, then ran the speed tests several times. The results were what they always should have been: about 90 Mb/s. Then I booted up a previously...

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    Just FYI, I tried changing my Ethernet "Node Type" from Hybrid to Broadcast (since I don't use WINS), but it didn't make any difference. I changed it back...

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    Hi,and thanks for your assistance. I disabled IPv6 at the router, and all the addresses shown on the Fire TV are IPv4 addresses, so yes, that's the same. But when I looked at the network config, I noticed that they were using different DNS addresses, so I corrected this (now they're both using...

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    Thanks for your reply! I was very hopeful for your suggestion, and even tried rebooting, then re-entering the cmd, then trying the speed tests again, but there was no change. Thanks anyway!!
