Figured it out. The scrollbar on the right wasn't appearing. The exclusion was added I just could not see it. I created and added a new folder. When I did so the scroll bar appeared. Then I could scroll down and see both new exclusions were there. Note: My display scale is at 100% so a custom...

Is there a limit to the number of exclusions? I'm trying to add one and it's just not working. "I:\Games Files". It ignores me and does not add anything. I just added one yesterday "I:\Games" and it worked fine.

After uninstalling Xbox I kept getting an annoying popup saying I needed to reinstall it when I started, not all but many, games. I did some searching and found the following. Adding these reg keys stopped that popup. Then on the other PC the kids use they started getting this one. I...

Doh, I only glanced at the link and misread it. I used to use the Black series for the speed for gaming. Now all that has moved to SSD's so I just use HDD's for storage. Also, I made a mistake earlier. The 8TB is storage for archived games and their related files, patches, mods, notes. One...

I'm old school. We have a pair of Pioneer CS-911A's in the living room that are still like new. The PC, TV, and stereo reciever are all tied together out there using those. We like to feel the sounds your meant to.

Well, I don't actually "need" 500 watts of window rattling surround sound to play my games, but I have become accustomed to it over the years. I just hope the 906 has the 'undocumented' boost mode like the 5500. On the 5500 if you keep spinning the volume knob after it's at 100% it will go into...

After 20 years of literally ground shaking performance, the control pod for my Z-5500 sound system died 😭 It's sad because the 10 sub and 6 ch amp are all in great condition and I recently replaced all the satillites with polk audio. I searched for a used control pod but all I can find are 2nd...

I normally stay far far away from the Microsoft store but it does have a few rare gems. I blocked it in the firewall and it still works fine.

@Ghot 6TB is too small for this application and I don't need the speed of a black, it's a media storage drive with an avg file size of 1-4 GB. @hsehestedt I started with a Tandy Cassette player. @Helmut There's 2 WD 6TB HDD's right above it and neither make this noise, ever. Usually all...

I recently added a Western Digital WD80EAAZ-00BXBB0. That's an 8TB Blue HDD. When I run the S.M.A.R.T. (quick) test with the WD Data Lifeguard Tool for the first several seconds it sounds like someone shoved a vibrator inside my PC and turned it on high. Then it gets a lot quieter but I can...

I just went through uninstalling Xbox from Win 11 23H2, the proccess should be the same for you. #1 You need to uninstall the components using powershell. Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage...

Recent reply from NordVPN. Which is rather ironic as I canceled it after less then a week because I could only connect about 75% of time.

@garlin Thanks but Microsoft provides a tool to do it. You just click add and type in the urls or ips then export it to an XML file and place that in the location you set in GPEdit. Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)

@dacrone What a PITA! I had actually already found those pages, I came here hoping for an easier way. So your reply translated to "Go back an actually read them you lazy ..... ;) I did, and it's working. Thanks for the reply.

edge://settings/defaultBrowser > Internet Explorer mode pages To access my NVR (Box that all my security cams hook to) I need to use IE Mode because it's not compatible with Edge. When I add the ip of the NVR it automatically gets an expiration date a month away. Is there a way to disable...
