Dedup should be a standard feature for a cloud provider. When I hooked up my OneDrive after a reformat, I just pointed it to the folder I had copied from before and it knew which files were new, and only downloaded those. Same with Mega. Don't know if Google Drive or Dropbox has a problem with that. EDIT: I guess Dropbox doesn't have a problem with that

Learned that the hard way when it uploaded everything again so I had doubles of everything. OneDrive and any semi-current Windows 10 build will allow you to sync placeholders for your cloud data which then gets downloaded on demand, saving you both bandwidth and space if you have a lot of files you store but don't often access. IIRC it also will match the hashes of your files so if you're setting up a second machine and copy all your files from your OneDrive folder on your first machine across, it realises the files are the same and skips downloading (or uploading) them if you're not doing the on-demand thing.

Ugh, now the Spotify desktop application is loving with the DWM in Windows 10, at least with NVidia drivers. Going to testufo.com, everything is 144fps, with Chrome in background and any other application in foreground. Except Spotify, then the DWM drops to 42fps for whatever loving reason, as evidenced by testufo.com dropping in framerate, too. --edit: Nevermind, it's triggering windowed G-Sync for whatever reason.

Yeah. I'm not sure why these apps even feel like Vsync'ing. Spotify is a Chromium web app, that doesn't play any video. There's zero need for syncing (there's nothing that needs to be perceived smooth). Chrome itself doesn't do it either, so what the hell.

You can get video ads in the Spotify desktop app, so that might be why. I don't know if you have premium, which would explain why you wouldn't see any.

I upgraded my laptop and desktop both windows 10 Pro to the April 1803 update and now I can't remote from the desktop to the laptop anymore. I just get a " internal error has occurred" when trying to remote from desktop to laptop. I know that the april update killed homegroup but did they change some other network settings as well that I need to check?

The Spotify Windows client is a piece of poo poo that installs itself to your Appdata folder instead of Program Files. There's no telling what other boneheaded crap is in its code.

Creators Update messed up the sound card driver for my desktop, and now whatever the recent large update that just went through took out my laptop's sound card. Pwned again by Microsoft, and then they teabagged me by adding a shortcut to Edge browser on my desktop. gently caress. e: removing/reinstalling the sound card driver isn't working this time either.

Windows updates always reset your default playback/recording devices for some reason, can you not change them back?

ufarn posted:Windows updates always reset your default playback/recording devices for some reason, can you not change them back? No, the sound settings says "No Audio Output Device is installed." The "Realtek HW Audio Codec" in Device Manager says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." I've tried reinstalling the driver several times after uninstalling it through Device Manager or Programs and Features, and the driver installer itself also uninstalls the existing driver and reboots before installing itself... but I get the same error every time. I noticed when I uninstall from Device Manager, it comes back immediately, so maybe Windows is overriding it?

One setting that I found after some googling is to (supposedly) disable driver updates: run regedit and go here - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings. Change "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" from 0 to 1. This is available in all versions. I say "supposedly" because I set this flag on my recent reformat before being connected to any network, and once I was online, Update gave me an Intel Management Engine driver anyway (and it wasn't even the latest version from their catalog, haha). As long as it doesn't touch my video, audio, chipset, NVMe, or network drivers, I'm good though. Ofecks fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jul 11, 2018 |

So I have had to disable fast boot (wtf is even the point of this when I have a Samsung 850 evo as my boot drive?? Boots in 2 seconds either way) for my laptop after every update otherwise using shutdown will leave my laptop without any juice next boot (yet another great idea MS). That by itself is annoying but at least I can fix it. Now with the latest updates I am getting the no juice on the next boot problem but now I can't find any options for fast boot and hibernate is disabled. Is there a workaround for this? Is anyone else dealing with this or is it my imagination?

okay I don't know if this is a Windows 10 problem or a hardware issue but here goes. I bought a HORI racing wheel for my PC which specifies it is compatible, and there are a whole bunch of video reviews by people using the wheel on their PC so I don't have a reason to believe I have the wrong wheel. It doesn't show up as a controller in device manager. It looks like a generic boxy looking placeholder icon. Nothing is recognizing it as a controller. Here's why I'm posting in here: if I right-click on the device manager icon and go to troubleshoot, the only resolution it offers is plugging the device into a usb 2.0 slot. At first it wasn't. I plugged it into USB 3 like I do everything I buy that uses a USB slot in 2018. I tried unplugging the wheel, removing the device in device manager, then restarting my PC with the wheel being plugged into the usb 2 slot. Still nothing. Troubleshoot still recommends trying a usb 2 slot because this device may not work with usb 3. =/ Is the wheel defective or is this some lovely windows issue that I've never run into? I've even tried a controller remapping program (Xboxce) which won't even list the device as being plugged in.

I found some possible solutions that I'll try out when I get home. I'll also try setting it up on my wife's PC which is still on windows 8 or something. I'm more interested in whether this issue (the USB conflict) is something any of you have heard of happening on Win 10. I haven't had this issue on any PC in the past, regardless of Windows version. Before Windows 10 I just assumed that if something didn't work right away there was probably a driver for it.

That really sounds like a hardware issue. Every USB wheel I've ever used has showed up as a generic HID game controller before driver installation, and in that state should still work at a basic level, just usually without force feedback and maybe with games assuming it's a gamepad rather than a wheel. It could be one of those screwball devices that doesn't support any standard profiles and only works with its drivers installed, but it sounds like Windows isn't even able to initialize it as a USB device rather than a lack of software support.

Yes, exactly this. There was no initial setup that a new hardware device generally goes through where at the very least you see a notification in the tray stating that it's installing something.

If Windows can't figure out what drivers it needs and manually installing the drivers doesn't help, it's almost assuredly defective.

Look in Device Manager whether it pops up as anything at all. If it doesn't, something is wrong with the device, the cable, or the USB controller (or just single port) in the computer.

I use it at home to dump my work Slack onto a different desktop so I don't have to look at it, but otherwise it sucks because I only want to context switch one monitor not both

In Devices and Printers or whatever Win 10 calls it, this is the icon the wheel was showing up with:  I just wanted to play GTA V in VR while actually driving with a steering wheel instead of controller =/
