Taxing CPU seems to be a good thing in my book. I have a 13900K in my desktop and a 13900H in my laptop. If I can make them more active, it is a big plus.

After the update, my laptop seems to be more snappy. Is this my imagination?

Does this improve the response time?

I renamed my local Documents folder to MyDocuments. Hopefully, OneDrive will have a less chance of messing up my local folders!

Is there an issue with what I am doing? I have a set of local folders (Documents, Pictures, etc.) and another set of OneDrive folders (also Documents, Pictures, etc.) They are completely different folders. If I want my files to sync to Cloud, I put them in one of the OneDrive folders. If not, I...

I have been using the Win11 dual local and OneDrive folders for years. I believe I understand how OneDrive works. It is just another folder on the C: drive that gets sync to the Cloud. I had been using them in parallel with no issues until recently. I still have no problems with OneDrive. My...

When did this new "feature" get introduced? But I see the content of my "Local Documents folder" is very different from the content of "OneDrive Documents folder". I checked my local Pictures folder and OneDrive Pictures folder too. They are different as well.

What is your definition of "system drive"? I can clearly see that I have two Documents folders: one is in C:\Users\username\Documents and the other is in Onedrive. But this still does not explain why the content in the Documents folder under my home directory disappeared.

Why does this have to do with OneDrive?

I have a Documents folder on just local C: drive and another Document folder on OneDrive. I usually use the Document folder on OneDrive. But I do have about 12GB of data on the local Documents folder. I was very shocked over the weekend when I found out the entire content on the local Document...

It runs at 55 C, not 45C. According to both Crystal DiskInfo and google search results, 55C is not a safe temp.

I monitor the CPU temp using HWInfo64. It does not run hot. The BIOS has been tuned to reduce power to the CPU to avoid overheat. It also has Intel's fixes for the 13th/14th gen CPU problems. I use Crystal DiskInfo to monitor SSD and hard drive temps. If it exceeds the safe threshold, it will...

Are you referring to the BIOS of the motherboard? Or the FW version of the WD hard drive?

A full backup is about 1 hour. I thought the USB drive is supposed to sleep when it is not used. I set it on Power Options for the hard disk to go to sleep after 5 minutes. But it keeps spinning.

I think 5 to 35 C is the ambient temperature for the drive to operate in.
