I'm glad you mentioned that or I'd never thought of it, even though I see "controlled folder access" blocking apps all the time. I could see it blocking restore. Do you uninstall the software and then restore, or does restore remove the software?

You don't have the luxury to hoard data, but then you have more drives than letters. I can't make sense of that lol. You're not a minimalist but keep your tech to a minimum. I'm having trouble here too, man. I'm starting to want to build one just for playing around with so I know how to...

Everyone has issues, even those well-adjusted to a sick world are no measure of health. He couldn't open a coinbase account. HE should have been teaching ME about crypto and not the other way around, but if there's any potential utility to knowledge he seems to run, preferring to embrace the...

Right now with the water cooling it's more of a coffee maker so surgery on the plumbing would be necessary if it aspires to be a toaster oven. Microsoft keeps feeding it hormones without telling its parents so I don't know where this ends.

Yep that is the best way to do it (y)

It probably only makes sense if you're selling reconditioned laptops on ebay. In my experience since win98, once you get a working system it will continue working great for 10-15 years with no driver updates. I don't think my win7 pc has been updated in any form or fashion in 10 years. Even...

No way you'd annoy him. Not possible. Unless you smell like potpourri or any strong fragrance, he hates that lol. He's the one who annoys everyone else with ADD or whatever. He's basically still a kid. He's never really worked for anything so everything he has was a gift from someone or he...

In my experience there is no way to turn off defender (ie stopping MsMpEng.exe from hogging resources) other than to boot into safemode, rename the MsMpEng.exe using an unlocker app with trusted installer privileges then disable it in the registry as trusted installer along with a dozen of its...

I know a guy who likes to fill every slot and expand a pc with every add on even though there's no chance he'd ever use it. All he's done since he was a kid is play with computers and he's not really using the computer to accomplish anything, he just likes building computers. It's like art I...

Ok, will do, but I'm going to be making some other changes too so it won't be a perfect experiment. So far though just updating that driver was like a clog blew out and suddenly everything is faster. Search is still slow. Takes 45 seconds to find the same 7 files that an app called "files"...

Well I installed the updated graphic driver, and after restarting the system seems much faster/snappier. I don't know what the graphic driver would have to do with it but it was gigantic and took forever to download, so maybe it came with something important. Then I paused updates until...

Thanks! I never knew that existed. Looks like some trouble with the graphics driver and explorer. Intel has been bugging me for a while about a graphics driver update. Still wondering how windows update got turned back on. It's like a virus that won't stay dead.

How did you discover that service was the problem? I need to go through my services... and bios settings. It's just so much work.

I think freebooter already had me do that a few posts back. It should be set to 8192.

I guess that option won't work anymore anyway. Enable or Disable Launch Folder Windows in a Separate Process in Windows 11 Separate explorer processes appear to no longer work for the new File Explorer with tabs.
