This is an problem with the upgrade advisor only. The solution seems to be to remove the device from Device Manager and then doing the upgrade. Making sure to not reboot in-between, otherwise Windows will reinstall the driver.

It really comes down to how the software uses the processor. Here's the Ark comparison: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=83359,82765 The memory bandwidth and speed is better on the 1650, but the CPU cache is better on the 2640. The 2640 is also designed to be used in dual-proc boards, hence why it supports QPI and the other one does not (look at the Bus Speed numbers.) In a real world scenario, the program itself may have a determining factor for which of these two CPUs are the ideal choice, however it is also possible that the observable difference may be negligible.

From my understanding, I don't think ECC has anything to do with it. A memory leak is a software fault.

The BBS menu will only show populated volumes. So it is showing Windows Boot Manager because UEFI boot is enabled, and your OS disk is of GPT type. The other drives will not show if they have no media or not valid media present. By valid media, if you have boot control set to flat UEFI or per-device UEFI, they will not appear in the BBS menu. In other words, the firmware (now) knows to not attempt to boot off of devices with no valid boot roms. Boards with this type of detection feature will have a longer POST time due to the system checking the presence of media. As an example, if you had a CD in the drive, you'd hear the drive spin up during POST, rather than just the power check that would happen with older hardware, to determine the boot capabilities.

In theory it sounds simple, but I also have never been able to get routers to talk to each other on the WLAN side, in order to create a wireless bridge between routers to physical clients. It is either the case that these devices were not designed for what I was attempting, or that the stock firmware just didn't support it. You may want to see if your routers have a custom firmware you could use instead, like dd-wrt or the like, that open up all the options on the device. I ended up not going down this road at all, rather I ended up using a DECA network.

The reason why AutoIT EXEs get flagged is that the compiler uses UPX packing and this is what antivirus programs pick up on. So a lot of AutoIt programs will be flagged as malware or a virus just for being compiled. Imagine that some day some antivirus were to detect everything made by the Visual Basic compiler to be malware! https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/AutoIt_and_Malware

I lost my first Civ V game on domination victory only yesterday. I still never figured out how to denouce anyone. I did really mess up in this match, when I was at war with a civ I split my forces. And the world got too far ahead of me and I couldn't find any barbarians to convert.

It is the Asus H110M-C/CSM: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H110M-C-CSM/specifications/ According to the manual, both fan headers support PWM.

It depends on the CPU and how you are using it. I have seen the Ryzen fans that look just like that, but a desktop Intel CPU isn't going to come with such a fan. I'm not overclocking nor trying to push the limits on anything. Most of the high-end video settings are not even noticeable to me and if turning things down increases FPS with no discernable change in graphics quality, I'm going to do that. And another thing is cost. The PCs that I build are done as cheap as possible. I mean, the case I'm using I found in the trash, that is just one example. I'll take a look at those fans with the built-in temperature sensor. The fans I have now are the "2 pin" variety, despite the board having 4 pin sockets and 3 or 4 pin connectors, there are only 2 pins on either the front or rear case fan. Only the CPU fan is 3 pin. There was never any real reason for me to even have a front fan, other than the case had one and it seems like a good idea.

Mcinwll, from the picture I posted, there is a front fan that brings air in, this air goes over the two spindle disks (the fan is actually part of the drive enclosure), then goes over the motherboard, then the rear fan sends it out the back. The CPU is in direct line with this design, obviously it is pushing air away from the CPU. The PSU's fan actually faces the CPU as well. Basically you could draw a straight line from the front to the back of the chassis for airflow, with some turbulence happening inside due to CPU, PSU and video card fans. I know the rear (output) fan's speed because it is reported in the BIOS. The front fan (intake) is much faster. I can tell it because it is louder, but also because it is connected directly to the PSU with no controller in-between. You can see a bare view of this chassis type here: https://ru.gecid.com/cases/chenbro_sr20969/ I say "type" because the link is for the SR20969, which has some slight differences, but the fan placement and the drive bay is the same as the SR105. As far as thermostats go with fans, I was under the presumption that the placement of the thermostat in relation to the fan make a difference, it is the reason I am posting the thread. My concern was that if I connected the front fan to the fan header (a header designed for a rear fan) would it be an issue. It sounds to me that a slight negative pressure would be better than a slight positive one. If there is any sort of fan controller I can connect to the PSU and not to the board (or perhaps to the board using an un-used header like the USB3.0 connector) that has its own thermostat, I can connect the front fan to that, in addition add the optional front fan to the bottom section to help out the video card. Note that the video card I have is one of the newer types that does not turn the fans on until it his a low temperature threshhold. It is kind of weird to be looking inside of the machine when it is on and the fans aren't moving.

I just did an upgrade for my gaming computer, and while I thought I had everything figured out ahead of time, one thing I didn't think of was fan headers. My chassis being the Chenbro SR105 has a front fan. The old board had a "front fan" header in addition to case and CPU fan headers. The new board only has a CPU and case fan header. In order to keep the airflow channel intact, I used a molex adapter to connect to the front fan. The problem is that the rear fan is temperature controlled, and is running about 2700 rpm at idle. The front fan is running at (what I imagine) is full speed, or whatever speed is dictated by the molex connector. Would it be better if the rear fan ran at this "full speed" and have the front fan be controlled by the board? My only concern there is that the board is expecting the that header to be connected as an exhaust fan rather than an intake and thus the temperature detection would be incorrect.

Upgrades! (hmm well my last upgrade post is not here, maybe it was one of those that went missing awhile back) I do not have a picture of the old setup, that I can recall. A rundown history, this PC did start with an Intel DH87MC with a Core 2 duo and 8 GB DDR3. The 8 GB turned into 16 GB and the CPU was upgraded to a quad core non-HT. It also had begun life with a compact Radeon of some model I forget. There was some shenanigans recently that I was dealing with. USB Mouse light would turn off, mouse stop working. Changed mouse. New mouse same thing. Changed USB ports, problem went away for a while, came back. OK so replace the board I guess! Since it was just recently I made this decision, and knowing the upcoming time/shipping crunch I had to act fast and not tool around with buying random parts from Ebay or wherver. So I bought a test board, new CPU and new RAM. Old WEI: Returning hardware: - Chenbro SR105 chassis - Thermaltake TR2 500 Gold 80 Plus PSU - LiteOn 128 GB SSD SATA - Seagate 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA - WD Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA - Creative Audigy EAX Advanced HD SB0090 Gold Editon PCI - Sapphire Radeon RX 580 SE 8 GB New WEI: New hardware: - Asus H110M-C/CSM motherboard - Intel Core i7-7700 3.6 GHz CPU - G.Skill AEGIS 32 GB DDR4 RAM Annnnnnd... The Return of the Spaghetti Monster! Fun fact, I didn't know the video card lit up until just now when I went to take the picture.

Vista was fine once SP1 came out and OEMs were selling PC with enough RAM installed.

Maybe @WinClient5270 can help you.

They are counting "Fortune 500" companies in with this 1 billion number. This is revealing because a large company like that would not be having active computers running on Microsoft accounts. They would be running on AD. What is the adoption rate of Azure AD? Is it 50% or less? This 1 billion number must be including systems that run local accounts... unless it is a smokescreen and perhaps this 1 billion is how many MS accounts have ever been signed into an OS, active or not. As with previous marketing numbers like this, I still wonder whether or not it includes sales figures and would include SKUs outside of the typical OS people know such as the IoT products. In any case, this is a "look at us, we are the best" type of article that is aimed at... who exactly? What competitors do they have? Windows 10's #1 competition is actually Windows 7. We know MS doesn't make phones anymore, so Google and Apple competitors don't count.

I've seen this happen on real hardware with Vista up to 8.1 in some circumstances. Usually using images that were built for other hardware or that have a lot of drivers included. I was never really able to determine a fix for it. If you were to look at the setupact.log and (I believe) the setupapi.dev.log you may be able to find some clue, but for me it never really helped.

The programs I immediately find being related to it are trainer and cheat programs for games.

I wonder how exactly the program works. As I know that Explorer can have little information about things the were originally executed before it, and such "ghosts" can be seen with other programs like Process Explorer. Is it also possible that Session isolation is being a problem? Is whatever is running with CM16 in Session 0 and that is the reason why you can't see anything beyond that it exists?

Whistler is either the Windows codename or the name of that character from the Sneakers movie.

In this other, but similar, thread on superuser, there is a screenshot of xperf analysis screen showing where CM31 tag can be seen. Perhaps if you could get to that screen you could find out more about what is using that tag. https://superuser.com/questions/1269549/memory-usage-doesnt-add-up-in-windows-10 In that is a post linked by our old friend magicandre, who posts the full instructions for those wanting to play at home: https://superuser.com/questions/949244/windows-10-high-memory-usage-unknown-reason/949246#949246

Yes Xper would be the one.

One thing to note about the name suggestions that have been made, and which are in the poll threads. I did a search on google (without quotes) for the new names to see how many results would appear. For some, there are millions of results for the same terms, some get the millions of results due to google changing the search. When naming a new product, it is always best to research the names being used to make sure there are a low amount of false positive hits, or none if possible. That is the reason I will never vote for "Whistler" because of that term's tie with previous versions of Windows. And that is also why I pick the "New Moon" name to stay as is, because there is precedent and active search results for this exact product using that name.

I only looked at two of the polls. This one (because it is one that I have installed... I think) and the other one, but it was that other one that (at the time) had private voting. Apparently it is has since been fixed. I didn't post about it here due to some sensitivity situation, but just that I had seen one that was public and one that was private. The poll options are as described. There is no "change votes" option anymore. It used to be a feature on IPB and is a feature on other forum software. It is possible the option does exist but is not enabled in group permissions. As for why it won't let people vote. There are two possibilities. 1. The forum may count the option to view results as a null vote. Users who choose to view results prior to voting may not get the option to vote. 2. It is possible those you say they cannot vote had voted in the previous poll. Edit: I voted in the previous poll, and cannot now. I never clicked to view results. I recommend the poll thread itself be re-created. Once it is done, a global or super-v can lock this topic.

I would choose that option, to keep it named as is, rather than what I ended up choosing. Note: poll is set to public, should have been set to private results. Also, poll should be set to allow for users to change votes, as it is often the case a person may change their mind after reading some discussion.
