    [SOLVED] Started computer today only have Black screen with mouse functionality, can browse and access files but desktop not working.

    Thanks for the help everyone, I was able to find the resolution here. I believe this registry key only came to be after I installed the latest update? I had no issues prior to updating Windows 10 a couple days ago...

    [SOLVED] Started computer today only have Black screen with mouse functionality, can browse and access files but desktop not working.

    I actually figured out the problem. Apparently explorer.exe doesn't run on Startup anymore. Why exactly thats the case since today I have no idea, but I'm currently trying to find a way to fix that.

    Question Arris SBG6950AC2 Modem/Router When modem is unplugged most websites dont load but some do, only fixed with factory reset,

    No it was a modem/router combo that I also replaced. Mediacom's modem/router is unplugged and removed from my "service page" and just sitting in the corner. And yes that is the path I have now. My PC is a desktop PC, I tried a Nintendo Switch, my LG G5 phone and a laptop and when the Arris is...

    Bright white spot on brand new monitor? ASUS VG248QE

    Please don't tell me that they are dead pixels and there's nothing I can do.... Here is an image of it: https://imgur.com/a/4ZgJT In darker moving images it is unnoticable but in solid blacks and solid whites it is. When a light or black image move through it it remains.

    Pairing a monitor with a Asus VG248QE 144hz 24"?

    It's a waste to buy two Asus VG248QE 144hz monitors if only one is going to be for gaming and the other for web browsing, right? It would just mean extra drain on my gpu, correct? Otherwise I was thinking of just buying a second Asus VG248QE to make them match, but only one would ever be used...

    Gaming PC with a 4790k CPU and Cooler Master GeminII S524? Adequate cooler?
