Assuming the task manager screenshot from earlier was taken when the problem was occurring, he's not having a commit problem as there was ~15GB free of commit. If that was just some random screenshot, then yeah you might be running out of commit.

That shot wasn't technically from the moment it was happening, but I can tell you my commit was 2GB more than the shot when it was complaining. It's one of the first things I checked, since I actually have had problems with my commit in the past (usually when I have chrome open for a few weeks at a time)

This probably gets asked every couple pages, but I got win10 home on a new laptop and am not seeing to disable the automatic reboot (I reboot regularly, but I never ever want it to happen without me manually initiating it). I tried a few things in the registry and task scheduler, but there's still a task to reboot. E: saw the exact same question a few pages back. looks like I have to do some pretty hacky stuff....

I just need a little help getting a second hard drive on my desktop up and running. It's installed the brand new drive, the computer is picking it up. Now I just need to get Windows 10 to use it right. Im going into management and disk management to assign it a drive letter but then it says that the drive needs to be initialized. Do I pick MBR or GPT? I'm using this second drive to install and run games and save stuff mostly. For now i do have it assigned as drive D and it's calling it System Reserve.

Use GPT unless you for some reason need backwards compatibility with XP systems or older, it's a newer standard that allows for EFI boot and drives over 2TB. It doesn't really matter if you're never going to boot off the drive and it's <=2TB, but I'm not aware of a downside except needing OS support and it's been around a while now.

 Hour-old fresh install of 10, on a 80 gigabyte disk, somehow thinks it has 3.9 terabytes of "Windows Update Cleanup" it can do. At least it's not stuck in a BSOD loop after getting the latest Insider build like the last install. Edit: I like how a machine with just the OS installed already has system error memory dump files too.

Deviant posted:What the hell is Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry, why is it making my disk grind and spin and act like crazy, and how do I make it stop? I was Googling about that last week for the same reason, and it seems to be this thing:  Some people say that setting it to Basic will stop it from trying to do whatever dumb poo poo it's doing on startup. Alternatively, some people have killed the service entirely, but I don't know if that's a good thing in the long term.

redeyes posted:The first thing is a bug. Reboot, do it again, should be fine. It's a VM so I rather doubt the RAM is at fault here. Also no reason for the BSODs to begin occurring only upon performing an in-place upgrade. I will say that of the few hundred upgrades we've done this is the first that has utterly broken things, so at least the release track seems to be doing well. Edit: this is reproducible for us now - installing 1607 then upgrading to 14986 in-place goes from totally stable to random BSODs. Sheep fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Just regular right-clicking will give you "Open With"->"Choose Program," with the option to make that selection permanent, won't it?

A good poster posted:Just regular right-clicking will give you "Open With"->"Choose Program," with the option to make that selection permanent, won't it? If I just regular right-click instead of using shift, going with "Open With"->"Choose Program" just straight opens the file without having the option to make it permanent.

I recently installed Windows 10 Enterprise on my work laptop and I have to say, 1607 works surprisingly well. So far I've only encountered one bug and it has to do with the lock screen turning into a black background. If anyone encounters this, the "fix" for it is to play around with the settings under System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Visual Effects. Selecting "Adjust for best appearance" should alleviate the problem. Not sure why MS hasn't fixed that yet. With that said, the most impressive thing that's sold me on Windows 10 is the huge improvement I've seen to RDP performance. I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with the RDP Gateway role configured. If I were to connect from a Windows 7 machine through the RDP gateway to another Windows 7 machine, performance was choppy and abysmal. However, if I now connect from a Windows 10 Enterprise machine through the RDP gateway to Windows 7, performance is nearly flawless.

Defender turns itself off when it detects another AV. It's pretty much the consensus nowadays(at least here at SA) that Defender is superior to aftermarket AV's due to the latter being security risks.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:What's the reasoning behind this? Genuinely curious. Also, what actually is best security practice? Most other anti virus software has to insert its own deep hooks into the system and kernel in order to function. Any fuckup there means malware can use that to give itself access. Sometimes these hooks gently caress things up in other ways, including companies accidentally damaging SSL/TLS certificate security by loving up the way they look into such connections to scan for malware. Since Microsoft already made Windows themselves and included Defender with it, no extra stuff needs to be included for Defender to function properly. Thus continuing to use Defender doesn't add any extra ways for malware to get in. Defender also catches all the same poo poo in the real world that all the other anti-malware solutions do, at least the ones that don't require having a whole separate server on your network inspecting all traffic. So the other things aren't offering anything useful to justify the problems they can incur.

If one AV scans something that can count as an access, which triggers the other AV to scan, which triggers the first to scan again, in a loop. That's just one possibility, but yeah multiple real-time AV going at the same time makes a mess in various ways. Best practice is leave Windows Defender alone, and be very mindful of what you allow admin permission.

I'm not entirely sure why I keep letting myself getting dragged into these stupid discussions, but elsewhere someone tries to convince me that the Windows 7 and 10 kernels are practically the same, because security vulnerabilities span multiple kernel generations and because applications are backwards compatible.

You can stop mbam from running on startup and kill the nag that way. Given that MBAM for Mac and ADWCleaner don't have the same issues I'd have to say I'd rather they get bought out by mbam than any AV firm. TronScript looks nice but there's a whole  section about how the telemetry is  SPYWARE and how you must disable it in order to make the system secure.
