in 2015 October, STRiX 970 4GD5 that I got after winning a district level chess tournament at school. I upgraded from a GTX 650 Ti BOOST so it was a huge improvement... I was so happy with that. I love that GPU... This is a photo from 2019 April, just few months before I upgraded. At the...

This answer sums it up quite nicely. Thanks for the help everyone! :)

I got exhausted with this garbage. Since most of the zip files were from downloads folder, I used ReNamer to rename every single zip file to change it's extension to rar in downloads folder. 7Zip opens as rar but is still able to read the file so it makes no practical difference anyways. I'll...

I carefully monitored everything and it's happening again - even with BitDefender working. The process explorer.exe was started by this code: C:\Windows\explorer.exe /factory,{ceff45ee-c862-41de-aee2-a022c81eda92} -Embedding And again, creating temp3_ and temp4_ files in the temp directory...

It just happened again. I even know how often this happens, since I had a game trainer downloaded which gets false detected as a virus, in downloads, since years now. Everytime this Temp_ extraction starts, it also extracts that trainer and Windows Defender has a long history of blocking that...

For now - deleted all temp files/folders and waited for this crap to start all over again. I killed explorer.exe when it finished with Temp1_ ... files and started cmd using taskmgr In cmd, I did: cd %localappdata%\Temp del * /s /q /f cacls * /e /p everyone:n First line selects temp folder...

It's been 2 months now and I've been noticing that at random, the Appdata > Local > Temp folder randomly starts getting gigantic, with explorer.exe extracting EVERY DAMN ZIP FILE ON MY SYSTEM. It extracts every single zip file, named Temp1_zipName.zip with the file's contents inside, and it...

Thanks for all the replies... Believe me, I know the importance of backups. Also, thanks for all the backup reminders. It's been a while since I backed up, and since I have a proper internet connection now, I'll start backing up to Google Drive as well, while also keeping a copy on a...

I built my first system in 2013 and my first hard drive ever was WD Caviar Green 1TB. The same drive still has a lot of data, but I installed Windows to an SSD and use it from an SSD ever since. All of these drives have been sitting on the exact same desk, at the exact same spot. (I...

I don't think any software trick would work when it comes to this part ^ If my laptop is off the desk and I need to access the same drive via wifi, I have to map it again and change the IP address to the share name everywhere... "Never let form get in the way of function" -- well said... One...

The last time I tried, I was using THREE slashes instead of TWO ( \\\192.168.2.101\ ) Doing that the correct way: This PC > Map Network Drive > \\192.168.2.101\WindowsDrive \\192.168.2.101\BackupDrive \\192.168.2.101\Music&Movies Worked instantly! Finally a software solution that'll work ^^...

I've reached google's page 3 searching on how to access shares using IP addresses but couldn't find anything on how to do this. Please tell me how to do this...?

Thought of this as well but I have two android devices which I use to stream movies and TV episodes using the same windows shares method from the same desktop and the same WiFi network... if I enable AP isolation, that won't work either. At times I'm also using one of my phone's wifi hotspot...

Again - the whole point was to find a software way to do this with the hardware I have right now.
