    Can windows updates be throttled?

    Making an image of the end result really is a good idea, can't believe I never thought of that. I'll definitely make one. I was aware that Windows update was always unnecessarily difficult to use but it was even more so lately is all. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Can windows updates be throttled?

    Hello, I run a computer repair shop and I do fresh Windows installs (mostly 7)usually several times a week. With each fresh load I like to make sure all the windows updates are installed, all thousands of them. Years or even months ago they seemed to be found and downloaded much faster and...

    No option to revert to 8.1 after upgrading to 10

    From 8.1, I clicked the Windows 10 icon near the clock towards the lower right (the icon that appeared after reserving Win10), and followed the steps from there. I opted to keep my files. It went through the process and eventually popped up with Windows 10 on it, and that's pretty much it.

    No option to revert to 8.1 after upgrading to 10

    I have a nvidia 745m gpu, and my issue with it was that I could not get past the device manager displaying error 43, and when I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, it now says the 745m drivers are not compatible and the installer closes. I am logged in as an administrator. I have...

    No option to revert to 8.1 after upgrading to 10

    Pretty self explanatory. There's no option to revert to 8.1 (or anything besides a clean install) from start -> settings -> recovery. I need to revert because my graphics card is having a whole list of problems with Win10 and i want to revert while these get figured out. Lost on what to do. Advice?

    laptop will only boot bios

    Let's assume my windows is in fact corrupted, would I still be able to take files off of the hard drive through a SATA wire onto a different computer?

    laptop will only boot bios

    I was going to turn off my laptop, and for some reason when I clicked the power button, nothing would happen after several tries and minutes of waiting. Hasn't happened before, so I just held the power button for 6 seconds, and when I tried to turn it on again later it would show the windows 8...

    My computer has unexpectedly and frustratingly started working like crap

    So I have this laptop, about four months old, fresh out of the box. It works fantastically for anything you could imagine, anything at all, or at least it should. I was playing a game, and, in a matter of about three seconds, my framerate went to zero, and if negatives were possible, it would be...

    My computer suddenly has a hard time running ALL of my games

    I did try using game booster a while ago, and it hardly made a change. I tried using it again and it's a very small difference, but noticable. How would I go about judging if my PSU is granting enough power? Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not exactly the smartest computer person, I mostly...

    My computer suddenly has a hard time running ALL of my games

    I tried reinstalling them, and nothing changes. Could it be that my processor could be going bad? Since load screens take forever now?

    My computer suddenly has a hard time running ALL of my games

    So, about a month ago, I do believe I was playing LoL when I noticed I was getting unusually bad FPS, I usually hang at a solid 60 all the time, and this game was constantly at 20-45. I thought nothing of it, because every now and then I'd get a game like that. This time it didn't go away. Every...
