I have an Nvidia 1070 and three monitors. Two are 1080p one is 1440p. I run Windows 10 x64. Say I have google chrome (it happens to other windowed apps) maximized on one of the side 1080p monitors. SOMETIMES when I lock the computer and come back to it later (after the screens have gone to sleep -- my computer never goes into sleep mode though), the window will have shifted from maximized position to 50% to the right and 50% down but still the same size so it's off the screen...It's not always i...

If I enable overclocking and never tu it off, how will that affect my CPU? IIRC overclocking only kicks in when your CPU actually needs the extra processing power. Overclocking doesn't take affect on idle or when you're doing simple tasks like web browsing. I'm using the i7-6700k and it comes with 1 of the 4 cores overclocked to 4.2GHz while the other 3 cores are clocked at 4.0GHz. I've set all 4 cores to be overclocked at 4.2GHz and made no changes to the CPU voltage. I'm running two Noctua ...

I'm playing around with my fresh Windows 2012 R2 VM and am following this guide to convert it to a 'workstation'. I have network discovery on and all the other advanced sharing settings necessary on my server-tued-workstation.

Background: A few days back I wanted to play AOE2 over inteet. For that I used Voobly application for finding the users and launching the game. But problem was that since my local ISP had blocked port 16000, I was unable to play. I asked the local ISP to forward the port 16000 and they didn't know what did that mean. After that I installed Hideme VPN application and it somehow did the port forwarding and I was able to play. Question: How does the VPN overcome the port blocking restriction? Isn't...

I have three ordinary user accounts on Windows 10, and one admin account. I want to back up the three ordinary users' files to an exteal drive -- but I want the backup to run as the admin. (That way, I think, if a user gets crypto-locking malware, the malware won't have write permissions on the user's backup.) In Windows 7, I'd run Windows Backup as admin. In Windows 10, it looks like I have to log in as each user and tu on File History Backup. Which user account will that backup process run as?...

When iPhone is plugged in computer running Windows 10 it starts installing drivers. Windows doesn't show UAC screen, or user permission to install drivers. Sure, it is convenient, but what is the security model here? Does it mean that any usb stick can silently gain permission for arbitrary code execution? Or this usb stick would needs a signed certificate to do so? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Since I have upgraded Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro, I notice that Windows would appear unstable immediately after unlocking. It doesn't happen right after a very recent restart, however as time passes by (I normally put it to sleep every evening and leave it running but locked during the day), it get progressively worse. At first, nothing out of ordinary happens - unlock the computer and everything is just the way you left it. Next day, after a night of sleeping, things start to flicker just ...

I have discovered this problem with my Laptop, today itself. No matter what the environment, app, screen is, as soon as I press CAPS LOCK key, the computer shuts itself down abruptly (abnormal shutdown, like power failure). It can again be tued on normally though, using power button. I Googled a bit and discovered that CAPS LOCK is used as CRUISE control so it shuts down the laptop in-case it is not cool enough. My laptop is cool enough. Following are the environments, in which I've tested this ...

The easiest way to do this with a DNS service. If you subscribe to Alteate DNS or Open DNS, they may be able to get most of that done for you with very little configuration. Just have your router hand out their DNS server IPs, and you may be good to go. I believe there are free service tiers at both. Alteatively, while probably not possible on your router (due to hardware lacking the required horsepower), Pi-Hole is a project that does exactly what you're looking for as an actual service running...

up vote -2 down vote favorite I have a ASUS router RT-AC66U which has a firewall section but I am a bit confused which ports I need to block for P2P and FTP and eventually other services which will drain the connection.

I have an UEFI system with dual boot between Windows and Linux. I've tried to encrypt Windows system disk. I've selected to test it first but, after reboot, it stated that it failed to retrieve keys from TPM. I tried to change TPM password and reset it but it didn't helped. tpm.msc claims all time that TPM chip is ready to use. I can edit local policy but I'd prefer to use TPM. Is there a way to get it working? Let's block ads! بخوانید...
