windows settings

When I first got my PC I got it all set up the way I liked it then created a system image. I then followed every guide I can find on the internet to disable auto update and telemetry. This worked great for about a year until today. I went to turn off my PC and boom there it was, "Restart and...

When I call in Win7 the Ressource Monitor then a lot of values are fluctuating. The mount of bytes written to disk from process AAA for example is even sometimes automatically decreasing! So I guess there ist a time interval for the values and the values are automatically reset by windows...

I have two User Accounts. How can I make one of them the default for logging into Windows when I boot?

I left GTA V to download overnight last night, but my computer restarted during the download, preventing the game from finishing the download. I'm now looking for a way to turn this off. I still want the updates to download automatically, but I don't want them to install and restart my computer...

How can I put my current screen/monitor into sleep mode (e.g. after 2h) and NOT turn it off completely (after 2h) ? When I go to Control Panel--Hardware and Sound ---Power Options and switch for example to my currently active "Balanced" plan then I have the choice: what to do with...

Accidentially I pressed some unknown key combination/sequence and the result was that the title bar and the menu bar of the well known built-in Task Manager was suddenly hidden. Only the processes are shown in window. I cannot even switch to the other tabs. With which key can I tell Win 7 to...

I'm trying to adjust the power options on my laptop so that the CPU doesn't run as hot (which consequently increases the fan). I set the "Minimum processor state" to a value lower than 100% but, no matter what value I enter, Windows doesn't seem to be using it. The "Maximum Frequency" that shows...

hi, I went to msconfig and boot and advanced option, I find I have 1 processors enabled. I have Pentium dual core e-6300, so I should have two cores. I also checked my CPU in task manager. It's showing I only have 1 cores. What happened to my second core. (Sorry for the Chinese, if you don't...

On my laptop I'd like to widen the day and date area so that the day and date fit on one line. For instance, for today, I'd like it to display "Friday/09/16/2016." I have made this change in settings, and when I hover the mouse over that area, the display is correct. But because the display area...

I have a batch file that runs on logon as a task, but it does not work on non-admin desktops because it uses admin level commands. I want it to run as administrator without prompting the user for a password. I tried going into the file properties, clicking compatibility, and checking "Run This...

So I wanted to take out the signing in everyday by going to the netplwiz program and I accidently disabled/deactivated my account. This was the admin account and now I cant get it back. Even when I go into another basic account/user it doesn't have admin controls so it cant activate it. please...

Very irritating issue here. I tried running a game "Assassin's creed:Syndicate" on my Asus ROG G551VW at a resolution of 1600x900 and it runs on partial screen even when I have fullscreen option checked. It will only occupy full screen if I run the game in 3840x2160 resolution but that's not...

Hi, What I'm looking for is not to simply change the whole userdata to another drive, but to create separate drives for each users, and have their application data, my doc, etc folders on their own drives. Sadly, from looking at environment variables though I think it's not possible.. What do...

The sleep mode on my computer doesn't work properly. I go to Start->Power->Sleep and the computer turns completely silent (like it should), but after a few minutes it begins making noise. Why? I have tried to turn off "hybrid sleep mode", but with no luck.

I have a new Acer Aspire E5-574 laptop that cam with Windows 10 pre-installed. I now have a single admin user account using MS Live. I now wish to change this account to a local account but I find that this is impossible. I have found on the internet simple instructions as how this can be...
