I just checked and bitlocker is disabled on each and every one of my drives. I did that very early on but don't remember how - I think it asked me. I did disable indexing once - couldn't find things that I normally could but that was so long ago I have forgotten what; I'll pass. Neither AI or...

I'll pass on 21H2... Yeah on the services - that takes research and trial and guess... I'll pass on Kaspersky - Bitdefender has worked very well for me for years. Actually, rather than trust AV's ratings I would ask around and then try/test. That's what I did when I realized WD was killing me...

1 - my bad - poor title - replace "speed up" with improve or enhance or something of the sort. I do not notice it to be sluggish or laggy at any point. I simply thought that since I hadn't used win for a long time, I would ask! 2 - I am getting much positive response here for which I thank you...

Thanks all - the only thing I triggered on is to maybe look at upgrading to 25H2 in October. We'll see! Thanks!

Back to using win 11 24H2 exclusively (from Mint)(can't video edit per my requirements/needs) and thought I'd just check. I use Bitdefender free and StartAllBack. I use a non MS logon. While I am mostly firefox and Thunderbird(both current), I do weekly use Davinci Resolve or Wondershare...

Thanks. because I am unable to sign on to the 2.4 one - doesn't show - only the 5g. Some devices need that(2.4) and my phone app would have to be on 2.4 to use their apps. It all seems nuts but it is what it is. What I did was get out my laptop and plug the old router into it (not the WAN port)...

thanks. How would I put the old router in AP mode? and then would I be able to access its menu to set up the wifi? Thanks

I have comcast and their router(a trapezoidal shaped thing)( Model: CGM4140COM ?). For some reason the 2.4ghz wifi won't transmit. So I thought I'd connect my old Asus RT-AC65 router to it and use that. But I see no way to access that router once connected. Someone suggested (using the phone...

Yes it is stupid simple to use! and has many nice applets that I can run in my taskbar to monitor my hardware. The geek part of me does want fairly recent hardware. But Intel just hasn't really come up with anything faster than the i9-13000/14000 chips so here I sit for the moment. My little...

I have been trying to get so I can easily stay on Linux. Probably for decades now... I dual boot win11 24H2 and Mint 22.2. I have been staying on Mint for a month or 2 now, booting to win only to do occasional updates (WuMgr). If I were still using Wondershare Filmora I would probably use win...

Sorry, cutting in for a sec then ducking out again as threads go in different directions w/o me. (Not good or bad, just a thing.) On this one I apparently picked a good title as it has definite interesting lasting power where I put it. Pure accident, trust me. No, I did not find any of this...

I booted to win11 yesterday for the first time in I think months ( to update my VZW payment method because I was too lazy to add Chrome to Mint for this once every 5 years thing). Been happily running Mint Cinn 22.1 . I was just reading a Will Fastie article on AskWoody (I am no longer a member...
