Thanks @neemobeer @dacrone I have solved the mystery. It was my TCL Smart TV on the same hotspot talking to my Laptop. Heaven know what they were talking about but TV got its WiFi turned off now and all is quiet. The TV is Chinese and a Google TV so not too surprising it wanted to make...

Need help identifying a constant network throughput as shown in the pic below. No apps are running that use the network yet there is always this background receive only activity. My laptop is connected to a mobile phone hotspot for its internet connection. Most of the Microsoft telemetry has...

Forgot to mention that during the examination of why the updates were failing and what the easiest way of fixing it was, I discovered that my laptop bios didn't give me a choice of disabling secure boot and it would reject anything but an MS O.S to boot from. I thought it would be the easiest...

I noticed that RAPR thought that a 2025 AMD Audio Coprocessor driver was newer than the latest 2026 driver but I forced deleted the older one (it was currently in use), rebooted so the O.S picked up the later driver so now is all good except.... now I am looking at all the nonsense that Asus has...

AMD software is getting rather large and loading far too many unnecessary services and way too much network traffic when it is sitting there doing nothing :mad: Uninstalled the AMD Adrenalin software and went back to just the Windows Update provided driver and all is quiet now. Whatever happened...

Had exactly the same problem. Turns out that you will need to install / enable the now deprecated VBScript to get it from 7.x to 8.x chipset drivers. I think the later drivers no longer require VBScript - it is just the 7.x driver installer that uses it. Too long ago to remember the details but...

Tested Winslop with no problems. Only thing is.... if you do a thorough Winslopping you will damn near end up with X-Lite much to the horror of the perpetual nay-sayers that have never tried it and never will :eek1: So be very careful when trying Winslop out - you may end up with exactly the...

Goat breast milk is my favourite type of goat milk 😋

@mecanicogolf Your powers of observation are as functional as your powers of stating the obvious.... I simply added a counter-confirmation to this thread for those who believe or are spreading negative press that there is something wrong with Optimum Pro upgrading to 3025.

I confirm that Optimum Pro 4.3 will update to 26100.3025 via Windows Update without any problem. Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 Installed on ‎29/‎10/‎2024 OS build 26100.3025 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.48.0

Picnok, Try changing the default sound output from speakers to headphones ( settings at end of volume bar).

Looking through the forum there doesn't seem to be a place to discuss what people are using for their "must have" apps. By that, I mean the apps that you have chosen as being your choice to perform the tasks that you put your computer to. I will go first and list my preference for apps: 1...

Edwin, probably a translation issue between brain and keyboard... I do have an unwelcome excuse for that having recently experienced a massive brain haemorrhage that left me with some difficulty choosing words and putting them down in some resemblance of order. Not much different to speaking a...

Berton, I wasn't saying it hasn't been mentioned on this forum but it doesn't really rate too many mentions considering it is a very polished Office suite compared to the usual pundits like WPS, Free Office, LibreOffice, SoftMaker etc. All of which I have tried and rejected for various reasons...

I have ditched Microsoft Office for the completely free OnlyOffice (Desktop Editors version). It includes a very good PDF viewer / editor. OnlyOffice defaults to opening and saving as standard Microsoft formats so no fighting with LibreOffice to make things save as a docx or xmls. It also has better looking...
