I made the mistake of not doing clean install of Windows when I got my new laptop and now every day it gets harder to pull the trigger. Never don't install fresh Windows ASAP

Sounds like O&O AppBuster came out at the right time, looks to be just a gui version of powershell scripts so nothing revolutionary, but a nice tool oriented for those who like to tweak but don't possess the skills to do it manually. Will probably add this to the gaint list of things I always run on every major Windows update.

Such as? Edit: Just to be clear I've had no issues with my PC and consider it solid, the bugs I've encountered are obvious bugs that the mass majority of people encounter from Windows like Task Manager being hosed when 1809 hit and CPU spiking doing context menu spam.

I think you can actually build a little USB stick with a .ppkg file that only instructs Windows to basically kill all the OEM pack in garbage during the OOBE setup. Stick the drive in, acknowledge the prompt, and the machine basically self-cleans.

My first instinct is to try MPC-HC, but if that doesn't work you could always get PowerDVD another way A third/more modern solution is to rip those DVDs and just make mp4s/mkvs of whatever movies and play those

Search the Store for MPEG-2 Video Extensions and Web Media Extensions, both by Microsoft, that cleared up a bunch of playback issues I was having.

I'm medium sure that MPC-HC development has ended. Use MPC-BE

You might also consider the maintenance releases from former MPC-HC contributer clsid2: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

Uh huh. (Assuming the third-party is the anti-cheat people) https://twitter.com/donasarkar/status/1100150769402109952

I think it's partially their own fault though because they're too political about it and refuse to say who it is. I say name and shame each and every time, loudly. Keep a public scoreboard of how many times each vendor has caused this kind of nonsense and officially recommend against anyone at the top of the list. Make it so the world actually knows who's at fault and why. lovely vendors won't change until they actually see it costing them money. In a case like this where a bad driver is causing system-wide crashes, the update should disable the driver and pop up a dialog explicitly stating what was disabled and why, then telling them to get a new version that doesn't suck from $vendor if they want it to work again. Or I guess if they want to be nice about it and the update isn't security-critical they could prompt before. wolrah fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Feb 28, 2019 |
