behavior

It feels like everyday I wake up in the morning, the computer is wide awake, I check the settings and it's set to never sleep, I set them to sleep in 20 minutes, got about my day, though when I wake up the next morning I do it all over again.

My HP computer, after working well some years, got the following strange behavior: After log in, I could start 1 or 2 applications, than I could not start anything anymore, not the task manager, nothing else, and the computer did not react for a shut down command also. So yesterday I set my HP...

So, this is something that took me hours to figure out because it's so unbelievable. I use a game trainer program that is blocked from executing in an AppData temp folder because it uses code-injecting behaviour associated with malware. Usually, I just have to disable my AV program and Windows...

I recently downloaded the procmon tool. I've noticed that after stopping it a subsequent attempt to run a privileged program gets an error dialog saying that a system monitor is running and to remove it. This prevents the privileged program execution. Rebooting cures the problem. The two...

Which app adds two blue arrows to some, but not all, icons? I am not aware that I have installed something new.

Hi ! First of all, I love this forum. I've been away for awhile. Reason being, I didn't know how to behave. I have learned a lot and hopefully I'll do better this time, and behave myself. There are some great people here and very smart people. I hope to learn some new things, and hopefully help...

Apparently, I have yet another problem with Windows 10. I noticed today on my laptop that that when I right click on an application from the start menu there are options such as Pin to Start, Pin to Taskbar, Uninstall, Run as Administrator and Open File Location. However, when I right click on...

I don't really know what could be causing this problem, and it's kind of specific so I don't know what to search for on the internet. Something on my computer is opening web pages in my default browser (chrome) very often, with the frequency ranging from opening once every hour, to opening it 10...

1. Would open AC & Maintenance would show nothing. Occasionally it would but, most time, nothing, none of the normal, usual info. Had noticed this behavior over the last couple of days. This evening... 2. Asking for Action Centre in Start menu Search produced TWO listings. A faint grey...

I am starting to think I will not like the new Notification icon on the Taskbar. They may change the way it behaves in the final version, but right now it is a distraction and a little bit of a nuisance. Why would I want to keep notifications about safely removing USB drives or other minor...

I have heard of this behavior from various people using various applications. It seems to happen more with 32-bit apps running on new Windows versions. The program opens and immediately closes. It is only runs for a second or less. I have tried turning off data execution prevention which does...

At random times, usually daily, something goes into my Contol Panel in "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" and checks the box,"Auto-hide the taskbar". I notice this when suddenly my taskbar disappears while I am doing other work. I go into the Control Panel and uncheck it, but hours or maybe...

Tame the Power button In testing Windows 8.1 Update 1 on a wide range of PCs over the past few months, I've seen some interesting behaviors, including a few I can't yet explain. But here's a slightly more ordinary behavior that you can in fact toggle on or off in Update 1: That Start...

The Stanford Prison experiment by Zimbardo matches only the breakthrough of the Milgram obedience test. In Milgram's test, humans were led to giving a fake patient a fatal electric shock. The shock wasn't real, so the people involved in the study thought they were doing it. Only around 10-15%...
