Hi, after a desaterous deinstallation of Comodo Firewall (bluescreen!! followed by a windows reinstall) I did reinstall Windows 10 and would like to set the internal windows defender firewall up in a way that it blocks ALL internet access via wifi except Firefox and Thunderbird. I managed to...

Thanks.

Hi, I have a brand new ultra powerful notebook (XMG Apex 15). I'm very pleased with it but, there is one drawback, it does not have Thunderbolt technology. I have 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen2, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen2 onboard as fastest means to attach an external backup drive. I learned also that HDD are more...

Don't worry, that's not the plan. There are 2 PCI bays for the SSD's. The HDD is separate. Well see over time what happens. The HP Z800 I run at the moment had a Raid 1 for the working files. Which, once saved my butt. Unfortunately that's not possible on the Apex. Raid 1 on the 2 SSD working...

Thanks. I did not know that a SSD just speeds up read. Btw. Regarding the internal SSD of 1 TB. That's the solution for now. Once prices come down in 2-3years, I'll replace the single 1TB SSD with a 2TB SSD and add another 2TB SSD in the empty second bay. Might even run them as Raid 1 than...

Thank you. Interesting still, just that I understand, why would the extra buffer partition on the SSD not accelerate the 2TB HDD (5400rpm)? Would that not work similar to a Hybrid drive (which I would have opted for but it's not available through my supplier right now). Regarding the Sata 3...

Hi, I just bought a new high end notebook with the following details and usage and need some advice for the best way to set the machine up for maximum performance. CONFIGURATION: Model: XMG Apex 15 Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X RAM: 2x 32GB DDR4-2666 Samsung Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX...

Thanks, actually I do not need a workstation GPU. Neither Blender nor Rhino need it anymore ;-) Currently I use a 1060 GTX. Creating a custom unit would be something I'd like to avoid. I'm a one woman show ;-) so its unlikely AMD will create something for me.

Hi, up front some info. I am professionally creating design and archviz renderings. Typically 360degree stills (Up too 12000x6000 pixels) and animations (Typically a couple of hundred 1920x1080 pixel images) in Blender 2.81 As render engine I do use predominantly Cycles and, to some extent...

In event viewer I get in close time proximity of the last booting into unresponsivness: App Container profile failed with error 0x800700B7 because it was unable to register the AppContainer SID. Failed with 0x490 modifying AppModel Runtime status for package...

Dear Hang-the-9, well, disk is replaced and resynced. All disks ok according to CrystalDisk. Still the machine hangs occassionally after booting. Any suggestions? Thanks, Franziska

Good. Will fix the drive first. Slide in slide out should work with the one you recommended under RAID 1. Correct?

Hey, seems I've got a similar issue. As I am a user not a software specialist I would appreciate your help. My Windows 10 Hewlett Packard Z800 with 24GB Ram frequently boots into windows but remains unresponsive once booted. I can move the mouse, but I can not manually start programs. When I...
