Win ver: 25H2 Without warning, and following no discernable pattern, my Laptop shuts itself down. It's as if it losing all power. It usually requires several reboot attempts before a complete restart is achieved. At all times, my Battery shows a 100% charge. The Wall Plug and Power Supply...

Not just upgrade...I'd have to limit myself to Intel components, or get a Mac. They know they're the only game in town for most us because we couldn't run apps that we need on anything else. I tried switching to several different Linux programs. It couldn't run virtually every program I use. It...

Asus272, Thanks for the replies and the instructions! It took me way too long to find this info, but after passing the computer min requirements during the install process; when I try to run Galaxy Connect I get a popup saying my computer doesn't meet the "minimum" requirements to run GC...

How do you dl Galaxy Connect? I can find it in the MS store and it has pages and pages of info, but no install or DL link, button or anything else. We have 4 Samsung S22+ cells in the house and they all produce the above result...

Helmut, My Laptop says "Connection Succeeded" in one place, and "Connected" in another place. My Samsung S22+ under "Paired Devices" doesn't say connection failed, it's just blank. Does this mean it is connected?

Anyone willing to go to "Services" and try resetting 'BlueTooth User Service' to "Automatic" per my comment above? The popup message stating "wrong parameter" after choosing from a dropdown menu is truly bizarre, and I have no idea what to do about it...

Right now, I have to agree with you! Perhaps, MS has prevented anything other than Link to function, but you'd think Samsung would have mentioned that in the manual if true... One of the "fixes" I found says: go to Services; change Bluetooth Audio Gateway, BT Support Services and BT User...

Thanks for the reply. 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is not selected' was not selected. "Disable USB Selective Suspend" for Plugged In and for Battery, was selected. Laptop says "connected", Tablet says "unable to connect."

Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Dell Precision 531 Laptop Samsung Tablet S9 FE Samsung Galaxy S22+ Cell Bluetooth connections can't be sustained between my Laptop and either my Tablet or Cell. Sometimes, I get popups with ID numbers on both devices.. I click OK and the connection is completed - but only...

OK. Again thanks muchly - I can live with that. I don't foresee a need for the two USB4 40Gbps ports, and I believe 3.0 x4 will be adequate for the Capture Card. If not, then an External Capture Card is an option with the highest speed USB3 port. I think running the GPU PCIe at 5.0 x8 would have...

OK, I *think* I've got it. Graphics Card installed in PCIe slot 1 will operate at 5.0 x16 Capture Card installed in PCIe slot 2 will operate at 5.0 x4 M.2_1 slot can operate at it's max possible rate, x4 mode with my 4TB NVME And if I disable *both* of the USB4® 40Gbps rear ports via the...

Thanks for the Confirmation!

In December 2025, I purchased an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero ATX Motherboard from Amazon that couldn't get through the POST without failing. Despite the fact that I was able to confirm that every other component worked in a different MB, I didn't receive a Refund until 04-06-2026. ASUS wanted...

Q1. Anyone know, or care to speculate as to why this is selling with this enormous price reduction? Q2. Is there an obvious difference between a "Gaming Monitor" and a "Productivity Monitor?" TIA

I thought I'd posted this question earlier, but now I can't find it... ASUS clearly stated 'Do not return the MB in the Manufacturer's box.' Does anyone know why they don't want me to use a box that was *designed* to hold and protect this specific MB? I'm going to ask them, but I thought I...
