What is the reason that MS gives for not supporting the processor at all? Would security updates on those systems somehow cause actual hardware or software errors that aren't easy to get around? It doesn't really make sense that it would, but it also doesn't make sense that Intel would withhold device drivers just to appease Microsoft's future plans for Windows.

Rexxed posted:In addition to nailing down what the hell is using the HD non stop, you can recover Office keys from 2010 and before with https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ The non 365 versions don't associate with your MS Account; at least Office 2016 doesn't. You'll have to manually keep track of it (there is probably a utility for this too). I've actually had huge issues trying to keep Office 2016 activated and I've begged MS to allow me to associate it with my MS Account but they refuse. This is through the MS HUP thing, so that might a reason for that too.

Rexxed posted:That's weird, I just installed 2016 for a client and had to login and give MS the key to activate it on their website. After install I had to log into their MS account to activate office. I've been trying to find something online to back up my experience, but it seems everyone has the opposite trouble. It forces them to make an account and there's no other way. What sucks is that after about a day of usage it forgets that it is activated and I have to go through the activation process again (just inputting the key and clicking activate), I've used MS tech support but they've been useless. I did just find the office set up page, so I'll try that later to see if maybe the MS reps just didn't know what the gently caress (very likely).

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Today's Windows 10 ExperienceTM is brought to you by OneDrive! Use a file recovery program and it should hopefully be able to recover them since the sectors probably haven't been overwritten yet. That's crazy though and has always been a huge worry of mine with any of the cloud stuff.

So I have had to disable fast boot (wtf is even the point of this when I have a Samsung 850 evo as my boot drive?? Boots in 2 seconds either way) for my laptop after every update otherwise using shutdown will leave my laptop without any juice next boot (yet another great idea MS). That by itself is annoying but at least I can fix it. Now with the latest updates I am getting the no juice on the next boot problem but now I can't find any options for fast boot and hibernate is disabled. Is there a workaround for this? Is anyone else dealing with this or is it my imagination?

My main use for notepad is to unformat copied text into plaintext before I paste elsewhere. I do that routinely when copying tables and such because the tab delineation seems to be preserved more often that way and I can then paste it into Excel. I am sure MS will find a way to gently caress notepad up but I am more worried that they're wasting time improving it when there are much larger fish to fry. Like getting scaling right...seems like they've given up on that dream.

Lambert posted:For permanent Shift-Shutdown, simply disable Fast Startup in Power Options (old Control Panel). This has been my go to in previous versions but with the latest update I no longer can even find options for it to enable/disable. If I do Start > Shutdown in the latest version I get the same thing of "shutting down" a fully charged laptop and then a week later finding the battery almost dead. I had this issue when I first got the laptop (it came with win 10) and disabling fast boot solved the issue. But with the latest version I can't find that option anymore and disabling/enabling hibernate doesn't do anything to fix the battery drain issue or make the fast boot option appear (and of course I am clicking on the view advanced options link). As to the claim that fast boot shouldn't be causing the issue I have read elsewhere that fast boot is a hybrid hibernation and still stores stuff in ram and thus does use power. This jives with my experience with the issue and other guides out there recommending to disable it because of that issue. However, if it truly shouldn't be using power for that then there is still something else going on that used to coincidentally be solved when also disabling fast boot (or doing shift shutdown).

Atomizer posted:I'm familiar with electronics in general as well as electrochemical cells. The effect of a bad cell will depend on how they're wired into a battery (series, parallel, both.) However, I've never known to have experienced a battery with one bad cell as opposed to the whole thing just wearing down over time, which is why I was inquiring about diagnosing it in a computing device. The worst-case scenario would be if it happened in a device where the battery is soldered in and/or in a glued-together device like the Surface line. I will check out that software and see if it offers any insight. Thanks for your advice. I have had the same issue with my laptop. When I first got it (with Win10 preinstalled) the battery drained overnight even while using shut down but disabling fast boot seemed to solve the issue (even though there's no reason it should). Fast forward to an update a few months ago (not sure which actual update did it) and the problem reappeared and fast boot had reenabled itself. I got it disabled but the problem persisted. I wish I had a solution but at this point I've resigned myself to the fact that I will have to plug my laptop in to get it to boot if I haven't used it for a day. Once it is fully charged it has normal battery life so the battery itself is fine.

Depending on your motherboard the USB controller probably is using pcie lanes which it might be sharing with the pcie slot your card is in. Without the proper drivers you could easily run into conflicts there. Gotta love win10 continually making GBS threads the bed with drivers while still forcing the user to into the driver windows update deems worthy.

I do have a TV that's mostly turned off connected, but removing the cable didn't seem to fix it. I've tried messing around with disabling various USB devices in device manager and still no luck.

Lambert posted:Some dumb bullshit about how they don't want to take ownership of a site's content. Apparently it is also because they are afraid of user dataloss since it is so close to the tab close button. Additionally they felt it caused the code to be too complex and caused performance issues. The first issue isn't one because the only time i want to mute a tab is when I am not on that tab; and in those cases I only see the mute button, no close button. This additionally is a great thing to have available because it quickly allows you to see which tab is causing the sound issues. The code complexity and performance excuse tho just takes it to a whole new level, because how loving poo poo does your codebase have to be for a mute tab function to be a problem for either.

mystes posted:Why is it Microsoft's job to tell you when dst starts and ends? If anything that seems like something you would want on your smartphone nowadays. Back in 2001 I was suckered into picking if I wanted the OS on my phone or my desktop to notify me of such things; alas I picked my desktop OS because at the time my phone was a lovely Windows mobile thing and never considered the future. Now I am stuck without such a notification on my smartphone and I feel my only option is to get rid of my desktop computer... maybe that will delete my previous choice and finally allow for my smartphone to notify me about clock changes.

And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended." lmfao
