I've done my research, with absolutely no results. I've gone page to page, searching for answers, and I've come across nothing. Every solution is already applied to me, but the problem still persists. I seem to have lost association to all .iso's. Every one I have (20+) and any that I download...

Hi Here's another example of why I hate apps! I decided to try the 7Zip Opener app, I always use 7-Zip anyway and maybe the app will make it easy to use. It's very easy to start with. So I install the app, (now with the normal desktop version of 7-Zip you just right click on the .zip or .rar...

I had the privilege of spending some more time with the Windows 10 Kernel folks!! I love learning about the OS with the folks that actually work in it day in and day out. In this video Mehmet Iyigun spent some time discussing why the System process in Windows 10 is taking a bit more memory and...

Hello everyone, how are you doing? :) I decided to ask here about one problem I have with GameDVR on AMD's newest 15.7.1 WHQL drivers (with previous 15.7 WHQL drivers I didn't have this problem). Anyway, whenever I record a gameplay with GameDVR, and play the video, I can see some corruption on...
