I now took the C920 camera that was upstairs on Windows 8.1 and swapped it into the computer downstairs with Win 10. It works fine on the downstairs computer. Therefore, there is some kind of software issue on Win 8.1 that I am unable to resolve so far.

Well my wife's logitech 270 will show a visual image in the CAMERA function of windows but won't link up to zoom. My own logitech 920 shows as having a problem. I can try my other logitech 920 to eliminate a theoretical hardware problem. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to go to Win 10 to...

Trying to get any Windows program to go to sleep or turn off at a specified time has been elusive for me for the past thirty years. Here is what works for me. 1. I use keyboards with a "sleep mode" button. These seem to work pretty well. Currently am using Hewlett Packard HPKBAR211 model...

Well I have a logitech camera settings showing on the desktop but when I click on it, it says, "already running!" and won't open any controls (if any are there). I also see it in "settings" which when you click on it says "already running!" But when I go to device settings it says "device app...

I've been using Win 8.1. I don't know if that counts. My google searches such as "logitech drivers download" did not take me there, and I must say compared to some other OEM web pages where drivers are available I find logitech's difficult. More to the point I don't understand why this camera...

Well I'll see how this goes. I was on the logitech pages several times and drew a blank. I hope your link works! thanks for looking it up

My goal in posting is 1. To put the symptom and cure out there and 2. To find out if there are other updates that will lead to system collapse if I ignore them? My desktop started behaving weirdly. The mouse would freeze was symptom number one, making it difficult to use the desktop at...

Thank you it's going to take me some time to work through this.

I am having difficulty getting my Alienware monitor, which is spec'd at 240 Hz, to go anywhere near that (60 Hz at the moment). I have read a few Tom's threads and internet videos on how to up the setting. I run in "duplicate this screen" mode with a Panasonic TV that is stuck at 60 Hz. It...

I once decided to swap out a modular power supply (thermaltake) for another one (seasonic) and said to myself: Well this here PC is so well set up, all the cables zip tied in place, I'll just leave the modular cables in place and put in the new psu. Which I did. And I turned it on. And fried...

This is where it becomes a paying proposition to have a second computer in the household. I know it sounds like an extravagance, and I suppose it is, but after my kid moved out of the house I have been maintaining two computers. My main build gets more glitzy equipment. But in a situation...

RX 580 drove me insane. I had three of them, was able to return two. One sort of works and is in the backup computer upstairs. But my main build now has GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (MSI). It worked where the others wouldn't. Sometimes in this game I've just had to give up and move on to something...

You might consider the AW2521HF twenty-five inch which I have had exactly one day. 240 Hz and 1 ms response time, should be good for gamers. I tend to buy gaming quality hardware (well, mid-range gaming) because I find that it ages better relative to the rest of the internet (for example...

Well I tend to put the PC into sleep mode. There are some keyboards out there (Kensington, HP) that have sleep mode buttons which I find convenient when popping out of the house or going to bed. Every now and again the system bothers me for a reboot related to updates. My upstairs computer...
