You have a system codec problem. FFDSHOW didn't do anything, Chromium indeed has the same issues as Firefox.

Does anyone else have the thing where numlock is turned on by default in the BIOS, but the moment Windows loads it gets turned off?

pandaK posted:It was cheaper and I never use the first party players so I thought it would be worth it. In retrospect, it isn't, since my Firefox still refuses to recognize media formats even after installing the Windows media package. For 32 bit firefox try VLC. 64 bit firefox has barely flash.

pandaK posted:FFDSHOW didn't do anything, Chromium indeed has the same issues as Firefox. There's an option in FFDSHOW that makes it parse all audio/video instead of just the default ones. I forget exactly where that setting is. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/1096-setting-up-codecs-using-ffdshow/ The screen shot with the CODECS you want to select RAW VIDEO as well (it's at the bottom). I haven't used/played with FFDSHOW or codec packs in ages though. I just use BOMI as my media player and Opera/Chrome as my browsers. I wasn't able to find anything about getting Firefox to use FFSDHOWs codecs, so good luck

After I lock the screen with Win-L, sometimes I will come back and I can unlock the system with just the keyboard. -- I hit shift and the monitor comes on, then I type the password. But other times, there is no response to the keyboard, and I have to click with the mouse somewhere on the screen. Then I can type the password. I would like to be able to unlock the system without clicking the mouse half the time. Am I correct in thinking this is just the way it is and can't be fixed?

TIL (Tuesday I Learned): I can cast media directly from my Win10 desktop to my XBox One. Works like a champ, and I can even use the XBox controller to pause, resume, FF and RW.

No, but I do have a USB mouse on a monitor hub and a PS/2 keyboard (hey, the keyboard and mainboard both support it, so why not) and the same problem as they have.

Speaking of lock screen issues, my small tablet that was upgraded from 8.1 to 10, sometimes when I push the hardware Start button to bring it back from sleep, I just get a black screen. Backlight is clearly on, but nothing gets displayed. Windows also shows the little "touch trails" if I try to use the touchscreen. But if I then pull out a Bluetooth keyboard, already paired to the tablet, and press Ctrl-Alt-Del, I get the unlock screen. Happens a few times a week.

Annoying, but it doesn't happen too often. My only other issue with W10 is that it doesn't like FreeNAS' SMB. I don't think it's ever shown up in Network. If I browse to \\server it works sometimes, but other times it'll just not find it. \\server.local seems to always work. I have no idea, it's probably just as much a FreeNAS\samba issue.

Since I installed 10, I've been having a problem where if I alt-tab out of a fullscreen game and then tab or click back in, it will frequently just toss me back to the desktop. Sometimes clicking while it's trying to put me back in the game fixes it, but not always. I've seen a few threads about it on Google, but I haven't found a solution. Is this a known problem?

kirbysuperstar posted:Yeah, I get this sometimes on my T100. Annoying, but it doesn't happen too often. Check what your windows 10 workgroup is called, then log into the freenas device and make sure samba is set to be part of the same workgroup. The fact that you have .local there means you are either set to use .local, a no-no as it's reserved for autodiscovery services, or set to use nothing, which will mismatch the windows default of 'workgroup' and make the device difficult for windows to keep track of. You could also map it to a network drive, which will stick pretty reliably.

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure I'm boned here, but just in case I'll ask. I just built myself a new computer, my old one had an Activated copy of Windows 7 which I upgraded to Windows 10. I wanted to put that Windows 10 license on my new computer so I used a program to find my Windows 10 product key, then made a bootable install USB. When installing 10 on my new system I chose not to put in the product key until after install was done, but now its giving me error code 0x803f7001. I no longer have my Win7 product key and I've already cannibalized and reformatted my old hard drive for this new computer. Is there anything I can do?

You can't move an upgrade-acquired copy of Windows 10 to a new computer as far as I'm aware. If you still have the key for your Windows 7 license and it's a retail license, you could try installing it on your new machine and then upgrading. You may need to move down to 7 on your old computer and use slmgr to deactivate the license with MS's servers, especially if it's an OEM license (which may not work at all), but I would expect a retail license to work - at worst, you may have to use their automated phone activation system. I don't think there's any trick that will allow you to get activated copies of 10 on both computers out of that one 7 license though, if that's what you're after.

If the old computer had a retail copy of 7, you can install it on the new machine, activate, and upgrade to 10 from that. If you dont have *any* win7 key, you're hosed.

After last night's update everything was fixed, app store, apps, etc.; then after installing one app it all broke again. I've never been an MS basher and have actually liked their products but I'm very disappointed inW10 and strongly regret accepting the upgrade.

Happy_Misanthrope posted:There have been bigger disasters (WinME, Vista) from the start, but I have to agree that I've never seen so much random behavior with an MS OS than Win10. I've still got bizarre settings panel and search behavior, this is a clean install. Again, "create a new profile" is ridiculously commonplace as a solution, it's just so f'ing fragile. The real fix is probably simple. Unfortunately anyone's ability to do diagnostics is limited with the new app system. So that means the only sure solutions are sledgehammers.

Windows 10 has been a huge piece of poo poo for me across 3 different computers. Fresh installs on all of them and all of them would have different game breaking issues. No network, blue screens in games, etc. Kinda had to itch recently to try it out again, not sure if I should though

What exactly does the search bar search? I've unticked online/web results. Does it require indexing because I usually clear that out of entries. Basically I just want it to search my c: drive so I dont have to open a file explorer, then open c:, then click in the top right

EoRaptor posted:Good troubleshooting They're both definitely set to 'WORKGROUP' but it just doesn't seem to appear in Network ever. Lately it's been responding to just its hostname fine so..knock on wood, I guess. I did notice its hostname was appended with .local (but NETBIOS was just the main hostname) so I changed that. I upgraded my desktop to Win10 last night. Went fine, everything seems to work (aside from one game needed DX9 reinstalled to stop causing access violations when launching). Also my Bluetooth dongle actually works in W10, I could never get it to connect to anything in 7, so that's a nice bonus.
