A relative's notebook has stopped connecting to a particular WiFi network, and only that specific network. It's an open network at a library and it connects if using a USB WiFi stick instead of the internal WiFi. Is "Win10 now hates that WiFi network on that adapter" a known problem? And is there a loving fix? Hardware is Atheros 946x IIRC. I did the remove device, reinstall device dance.

isndl posted:When you say stopped connecting do you mean it doesn't see the network, or it just hangs while trying to connect? Did you try removing the network from the list of known networks? Maybe also try the 'random hardware addresses' setting for the network? It sees the network, but while connecting it quickly returns a 'can't connect to this network' error (or similar, can't remember 100%), anyway, it's much quicker than the timeout for a bad radio link. If feels like they are talking on to each other and quickly agreeing to disagree. I cleared the list of all known networks. Forgot about the random MAC address, maybe it's the router hatin' on that adapter? I don't control the router, or I'd have rebooted it.

WindowsOS X has started to lock the screen in my face. Like, I'll be typing/mousing and it will go to the lock screen. I've checked the power plans and even enabled a hidden option in them. All timeouts seem ok. Has anybody encountered this bug?

wolrah posted:Do you have the Dynamic Lock feature enabled? Or Windows Hello face login? Both of those can auto-lock the system if they think you've left. Thank you very much for the reply. A shutdown/restart, but not a reboot, fixed it. That was after I spent some hours with procmon.exe, enabling audits for screen locks, googling poo poo, etc.. It was happening every 30 minutes and driving me crazy.

Falcon2001 posted:Any tips for troubleshooting intermittent audio stuttering? It tends to go away for a while if I reboot; but I haven't narrowed down exactly what's causing it yet. Check your computer for latency issues: https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon or similar Alternatively use procmon from sysinternals to see what process is running at the precise time your sound is crackling.

Dear God, I can't wait for all the old people "This looks all different" complaints. This will look terrific on a contrast-is-almost-zero-and-colors-invert-every-10-degrees-of-lateral-movement $50 TN screen. Specially the ones lacking blue elements, gj microsoft. I guess nobody has a non-IPS, non-OLED screen in MS campus. Like how they had to be told to include an IR-Blaster in the OG Xbox ONE "What? But all 77" TVs support CEC over HDMI?"

Hadlock posted:So like everyone else, trying to figure out why my laptop is so slow. It is a 8th gen i7 with 12 cores, 16gb memory, nvme disk with 130gb free Some machines can be configured to value noise over performance, and will throttle above some ridiculous low temperature. Check BIOS/vendor configuration to see if that's the case. Also use the throttlestop utility to see/raise the power targets to really melt your gonads in the pursue of that last drop of forum-rendering speed.
