    News Microsoft to offer Windows 10 subscription plan for customers who want to keep getting updates after October 2025 — for both businesses and individ...

    I didn't try the creation tool as I wanted to upgrade instead of a clean install. The migration assistant refused to proceed due to requirements not met and with the ISO image I had to stop the installation sometime at the beginning and update the registry via command line commmands to disable...

    These practices sometimes look so much like theft in disguise. Prevent users from upgrading to Windows 11 (hardware not meeting the requirements) then charge them for extended Windows 10 support ! Look at those non technical unfortunates that would find it cheaper to pay for extended Windows 10...

    News GTAV Fan Fixes GTA Online's Super Lengthy Load Times

    This long load time seems to be bad programming and the Rockstar Game Launcher keeps it consistent with this: at every launch one gets the annoying "Installing Rockstar Games Social Club" (while it is, of course, already installed) which seems to follow a complete installation process, instead...

    News DisplayPort vs. HDMI: Which Is Better For Gaming?

    Nice article ! I instinctively went with DP whenever was possible (also thanks to Dell for being among the first adopters of DP on their laptops) since I felt that with higher bandwidth one could do more or the hardware will struggle less to do the same as with HDMI, without knowing the...

    Review EVGA Nu Audio Pro Review: Who Needs a Sound Card in 2020?

    Nice work ! Too bad we had to wait for ages since the previous sound card review on THW but here we are. There was no secret that with cheap audio equipment is difficult to see any improvements over the on board audio but it's always useful to remind this to some readers. Nice point also in...

    [SOLVED] Do these Gainward GeForce GTX 1650 Pegasus DisplayPort really exist ?

    Awesome ! I wonder why my googling didn't found it but thanks a lot ! I'm looking to go passive GPU cooling and the single slot is mandatory since the Streacom DB4 case cannot host double slot graphic cards. Another requirement is max 75 W power and from the PCIe slot since the PSU has only the...

    I don't update Win 10 every 6 months. I just manually install security updates from time to time but not major Win releases then I disable the updates that failed till I have more time/patience to troubleshoot the failed updates. I usually disable lots of useless services (hence some failed...

    15 Windows Tips to Help You Work Faster and Smarter

    Not sure this is the case anymore since I disabled W10 updates long ago, but as long as W10 could restart your PC after an update with no questions asked I wouldn't recommend force windows app to close at shutdown setting. Thus you'll avoid bad surprises when you come back from lunch...

    News AMD Launches Radeon RX 5600 XT: Ultimate 1080p Gaming GPU at $279

    ROFL: 10-20 % better performance than GTX 1660 Ti while eating 25% more energy (120 W vs 150 W) ? Performance per watt is worse so thank you but not, I'll still stick to the greener card. One could always overclock the GTX to get slightly similar performance and power consumption...

    News Intel Rapid Storage Technology Vulnerability Allows Persistent Malware

    That could be indeed useful for some advanced users. I personally use Comodo Security Suite which is quite helpful to prevent DLL hijacking. Using the 'Purge' functionality is removes the trust of no longer existing binary files thus when they pop up again you are required to allow them. You are...
