Since this is a new thread, I guess i'll ask here again: Anyone find a fix for Windows 10 not putting monitors to sleep?

XYZ posted:Ya this is the only problem I'm having with Windows 10 right now. I've found that my monitor will turn off if I'm signed out however. It's not a perfect solution but it'll do until they fix it. Hmm, this is interesting. I'll test this out. I can't really sign out of my PC when I'm away from it though since I run a Plex server and they apparently don't know how to make it run as a service in the background or whatever and I have to stay logged in to actually run Plex Media Server (or something like that according to what I found on  awhile back).

MaxxBot posted:I was offered the free upgrade from within Windows 7 but I kept getting errors when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10. I stupidly wiped my 7 install and did a clean install of 10, which I was unable to activate because my old Windows 7 key didn't work. I wiped again and installed Windows 7 again, and now I no longer see the upgrade offer. Is there no hope of getting the free upgrade at this point? Use the media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install

croutonZA posted:Is your lock screen set to show a picture or slideshow? If it's the latter, you could poke around Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen > Advanced Slideshow Settings. There's some settings in there to do with turning off your screen. Nope, it's set to the default "Windows Spotlight" XYZ posted:Ya this is the only problem I'm having with Windows 10 right now. I've found that my monitor will turn off if I'm signed out however. It's not a perfect solution but it'll do until they fix it. Actually logging out of my name made the monitors go to sleep! This isn't really a good solution for me though because of the aforementioned Plex Media Server I have to run on this PC  I wonder if there are any more hidden settings where I can set the PC to turn off monitors even when I'm logged in?

njsykora posted:So I figure this is a good place to ask. I get internet on my PC by tethering it to my tablet but my W10 machine yesterday just stopped recognising the connection saying "Ethernet 2 doesn't have a valid IP configuration". Everything else on the network (tablet itself, phone, Xbone) connects fine except my PC tether. I looked up a few guides but none of them managed to fix it. You didn't happen to update to the latest insider build did you? Microsoft said tethering is broken in that build and they know about it.

Lum posted:Another question. Is there any way to stop Win10 using the boot logo stored in the BIOS and either revert to standard, disable it or customise it. The disable boot logo option in WinAero tweaker doesn't work unless you also disable UEFI which I don't really want to do. Most BIOS/UEFI's have an option to turn the custom boot logos on and off.

The idea was that I'd use the VPN to pop some mkv/mp4 downloads into her Plex watch folder. She's getting an OLED TV on Thursday and pretty excited about it. Bittorrent sync sounds perfect for this.

I still have not got the November 1511 update pushed to me through windows update. Does anyone else find that completely bizarre? I got windows 10 the day it came out so I shouldn't be under that 30 day rule. Guess I'll just use the tool, finally...

FronzelNeekburm posted:Something in my system was causing problems with the install process, so 1511 would try, fail, revert, and wait until later. I didn't notice until a few weeks later when I used the tool and it kept crashing during the first step after reboot. Wound up having to yank out all the peripherals and extra drives until after it completed. At least you've had it pushed to you. I'll finally fire up the tool next weekend I guess.

Boris Galerkin posted:I'm not sure what the terminology is called but I left my computer on overnight to download things and this morning it had turned itself off (after finishing the downloads). I was unable to wake it back up with my keyboard and had to press the power button which brought the computer back to the Windows log in screen. I know my BIOS/UEFI has options to allow USB peripherals to initiate wake/boot. I'd look there.

Veotax posted:I'm doing a major update to my computer next week (new MB, CPU and RAM) and I just want to be sure that Windows 10 is going to play nice, I remember people saying poo poo about not being able to transfer your license between computers around launch and I imagine that an update this big will count as a 'new' computer. Is any of that true? Dead Goon posted:Upgrade to Windows 10 using your Windows 7 key on your new hardware. Yup, you'll have to use the media creation tool to make an ISO of the latest windows build (the older builds won't auth against old keys, but the newer builds will) so you can use your windows 7 key, but otherwise you should be fine.

Zero VGS posted:So, uh, does the Anniversary Update still require one of those 30-minute update cycles that renders the PC useless? Or in their year of planning have they maybe actually gotten it to upgrade within Windows Update with just a normal reboot required? Is this really that big of a deal? It's basically like one of those yearly macOS updates and those take about the same time to complete also...same for iPhone and Android updates to big new versions...

Ever since upgrading to Anniversary edition, my Start menu sometimes stops working if I'm logged in and idle for a long time. The bar with the power/sign off and sign on options still work, and so does search. The program list and tiles do not, however. Anyone else experience this? Rebooting my PC or logging out and back in again solves the problem.

Arsten posted:Does it last long? It sounds like a paging issue which, if it is, should rectify itself in about 10-12 seconds, depending on the speed of your various computer bits. As far as I can tell, it never starts working again until I either restart the PC, or log out/back in. I'm running the OS on an SSD and a 1 TB Regular HDD for media and games and poo poo.

Just a heads up for anyone experiencing this: the latest Nvidia drivers have a bug where it fucks with the start menu and mail app. Start menu icons freeze while re-arranging them, and the mail app crashes when you open an email.

Khablam posted:Win+R , netplwiz , disable the obvious box and set the credentials you want it to use. This isn't a good solution, because it stores your password in plaintext in the registry. I think there's a tool by Microsoft that will do the same thing, but in a secure way. Forgot what it's called though. should help there.

I thought about using LTSB minimize non-security updates and keep things the same so I don't get calls about why everything has changed after a feature update. Pretty sure there's a setting for metered internet in windows 10. I really wouldn't stick your dad on LTSB.
