When my monitor sleeps (on schedule) something keeps poking it to wake up. I have a dual monitor system - the other monitor doesn't have a problem. This one is an LG with fancy lighting on the back. It messages that no power, so going to sleep, light turns off, and about 30 seconds later it...

Well, for the moment I'm disabling Device Encryption. The 2nd drive (10Tb)is partitioned into 3 logical drives. The first 2 decrypted fine, third one (largest) still going. My guess is that Drive Encryption is a minimalist version of BitLocker, with all user controls eliminated. I can see where...

Well it says "Device encryption", and if i try to open it I'm asked for a Recovery Key. I found the recovery key on microsoft.com, described as a "BitLocker Recovery Key." This came with the product - maybe it's not actually Bitlocker. There is no Bitlocker app included in the control panel. .

I tried this. On my system, there is no check box titled "Ease cursor movement between displays". So I made the registry change, adding a new key. My second monitor is smaller than the primary. If the mouse is at the top of the larger it gets caught in the "corner" where the second doesn't...
