    Question Problem making phone calls with Phone Link app and talking through the computer headset ?

    I tried all that and no change. Thanks for the advice. I could never make Phone Link work with the headphones connected to the PC, maybe because it's intended to have them connected to the phone. I tried with another bluetooth headset with mic with the same result. The other features in...

    Question Problem making phone calls with Phone Link app and talking through the computer headset ?

    I’m trying to make phone calls from my windows 11 computer using a wired USB headset with mic (EPOS PC 8 USB On-Ear Stereo Headset) connected to the computer, but the audio on the PC headset is choppy. I also tried pairing a Bluetooth headset (Nuroum HP30) with mic to the PC and I couldn't hear...

    Question Any way to back up Google Drive and Onedrive content on my PC with File History?

    I eventually created a bat file with some robocopy commands to run every day with task scheduler and it's working fine. It's not messing up anything as I'm not copying back to the original location. I just want a local backup of my google drive files just in case google fails me some day...

    Question Any way to back up Google Drive and Onedrive content on my PC with File History?

    When I try to add the Onedrive or Google Drive folders to File History so that they are backed up to my external hard drive, the are not added. Probably becase these are virtual drive folders. This wasn't an issue a few weeks ago, before I reinstalled Windows 10 to clear some issues. Is there...

    Question Advice on extending my home WIFI simply.

    WIFI doesn't reach to a far away room at home. So I've thought of just wiring an access point to the home router using a patch cable (I can easily do that). That would be more than enough. This is a rented house so I don't want to spend much. I like this idea more than getting a Mesh WIFI...

    Question Fan in my Asrock Z77 Pro3 is stalling, fan or motherboard issue?

    No change. I flashed the bios to 2.20 > started the PC > shut down > cleared CMOS with the jumper. My doubt is if the new fan may be faulty? as it's doing something different: the old one was stalling then spiking to 3349RPM then using normal RPM most of the time; this one is stuck at...

    Question Fan in my Asrock Z77 Pro3 is stalling, fan or motherboard issue?

    The CPU fan in my desktop began artifacting. Every few minutes it stalls to 0RPM. It stalls for a split, then spikes to 3349RPM for 4 seconds or so then goes normal speed for a few minutes or so (sort of random: can be normal for 1 minute or 40 minutes or 10 minutes), see picture. I tried...

    Question How should I check my Windows PC CPU temperature?

    OK, I see, so I'll just ignore this one

    Question How should I check my Windows PC CPU temperature?

    I use HWinfo to check temperatures but I get all these readings, so I usually trust "whicever is the maximum". Now, HWinfo shows "CPU package. This is the recommended CPU temperature to watch", which seems useful. However, I find this other reading "Core distance to TjMax" that sometimes...
