I have wallpaper setup in Active Directory in Windows Server 2012 r2, and I'm trying to give a single user the ability to change their own wallpaper. The user computer uses Windows 10 Pro edition, and I've already tried Googling the answer with no luck. I have a GPO set to have all of the...

Hi On my desktop PC that runs on Windows 10 Pro, I have two accounts: an administrator and the other a standard account. Today, I noticed that μTorrent, which is installed in the admin, is absent in the standard one. I tried installing it in the latter, provided my PIN and finished everything...

Ok, this is gonna be long, and I apologize, I also would've put this up on Microsoft answers community but they seem to be unavailable at the moment (4/26 @11:30pm) but, here it goes: Okay, first, i only had one account ever on my computer (laptop), and that was the main one that would always...

When I open Core Temp, I notice that the frequency of my CPU will randomly jump between 4400hz, 800hz, 2200hz and etc. The same happens with the power, it'll jump from like 12W to 62W. Is this something to worry about? My CPU is an Intel i7-4790k and has not been overclocked.

Okay, so i got this PC about 2 years ago, at first it worked like a charm, but after some time it started being slow, but not just in games.

Good morning all, I seem to be having a problem with my old HP Elitebook 2560P. Some of the keyboard letters are typing double and wrong , for example when I press the 'c' key I get 'ce' or if I press the 'e' key I get 'ce' . If I press 'P' I get #P and a few others. I've tried removing...

Every once in a while my computer will randomly stutter, it will freeze up and make a du du du du noise for about 5-7 seconds, then it will go back to normal. This has happened to me when I am playing a game, it's happened while watching a stream and I believe it's happened while I was just...

When I first got this monitor I checked nvidia everything was normal there's not supposed to be g sync or anything but after updating my driver I checked again and I was able to put on G sync but my monitor is not supposed to support it so I was wondering if I should put it on or not

My PC: core i7 4790 8 GB ram 1 TB HDD GTX 1070 graphic card H81-C Motherboard My CPU fan was full of dust so I decided to clean it up. I removed it, cleaned it, removed old thermal paste and put new one and closed it. It was a bit stuck but eventually it closed. The thing is the PC wouldn't...

I dropped a bit of thermal paste on the bottom side of the CPU. It looks like this picture. The blue lines are the excess paste that fell off as I moved the paste away from the CPU. I should have moved it away upwards but i was ignorant.the green circle is just there to aid in helping look for...

Hello guys. My friend has a i3 7100 and a gtx 1050.I want to know if I would buy a i3 8100 and pair it with a gtx 1050,would there be any bottleneck at all?

The specs for it says that it supports "Memory Types: DDR4-2666". Does this mean that even if I use faster (i.e. DDR4-3200) RAM, it will only run at up to 2666? It was recommend that I buy 3200 RAM so I have no idea how it will work if the limit is stuck at 2666.

Everything is working except the additional HDD I bought (amazon) after receiving it I shut down my PC and unplugged it, hooked it up after installing it in the HDD bay.

Back in the day, when purchasing a retail disc for games a key code would come with it. My question is how do makes control the use of the game especially if its an offline game (single payer) if people just rent it to a friend. Do the makers know if you simply use it offline. Or is the set of...

Hi there For some reason these two games are causing my whole system to shut down and restart. My PC is about 7 years old, has always run these games perfectly until now, I've never had this issue before. I've checked my GPU temps and that only heats up to about 54 degrees, I've recently...

Earlier I upgraded to an SSD from an HDD, and after installing all the drivers and everything, my front two 3 pin fans that were able to be controlled prior to the upgrade via the motherboard no longer have the option to be controlled. I have searched through the Bios and AI Suite 3 to see if I...

LONG delay between Win XP Pro SP3 splash screen and OS launch. Maybe 5 mins? Once it is running, there are no issues. I have used other hard drives (same model HD, different image) in place of the one that appears to be the source of the lag with no issues, so that would seem to rule out BIOS...
