Yeah that's a feature I liked with f.lux, it would be a very gradual move. On my first PC it would freeze the whole thing for like 20 seconds while it did it, but that was a piece of crap anyway. Disabling it is also nice, since it changes the colour, it might make games look different. F.lux it is then, thanks for the info everyone.

Anyone have delt with DisplayPort? I recently got new monitors and now they are connected via DP, and whenever my PC had turned off the monitor and they come back, all windows are resized and back on the main display. I'm guessing this is a bug where it "Disconnects" the displays in standby. I really want to fix this.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. e: Looks like it totally is a displayport thing, sorry. I've never heard of this and I've had DP for years.

It's a display port quirk, the way the power saving works Windows thinks you unplugged the monitor and it picks poor default values for arranging your windows in a fail safe mode. It doesn't happen on all systems, it might be a bad combination of driver, video card and monitor that triggers it. You can supposedly dig into the registry to deal with it but I haven't had to do it myself so can't tell you if it actually helps. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...e9-e9157334bb2f

I've resolved it by firmware upgrades. Our HP's have firmware upgrades just for DisplayPorts.

I've followed some version of those instructions before and can confirm that it works. Happily, Windows 11 is supposed to handle this without tinkering.

Yeah the displays are meant to tell the PC they are still there even when in standby, some don't do this.

Any recommendations on a tool to sort through 1000's of photos and rename based on EXIF data? I have pictures scattered across a ton of different folders, and I just want to pull the date out and put them into folders based on the year. There are approximately 5 billion of these apps, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

It doesn't happen on all systems, it might be a bad combination of driver, video card and monitor that triggers it. Happens with HDMI as well. Apparently, there's a new option that fixes it in Windows 11? In my experience, it depends on the graphics card: I had the issue with the same PC and monitors with one graphics card, but not the other. Some Asus monitors have the option to disable "deep sleep" in the OSD, that fixes it as well.

Renamer will also do this. It's sorta-free-shareware that's partly crippled but if I understand what you're doing, it'll do it. http://www.den4b.com/download/renamer/portable I used it to rename thousands of image files for a work thing, then put those names in the meta tags, then use other metadata to change the names again. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Aug 21, 2021 |

This seems pretty niche but thought I'd ask. I recently got a 34" monitor and it's awesome, but some older programs really suck at dealing with the upgraded resolution. Are there any programs where I can magnify a small portion of the screen? Like highlight the bottom corner and have it blown up?

It took me a month of random searching to make mine stop waking up in the middle of the night. Too long ago to remember though, something to do with checking the event viewer and finding what was causing it. Not much help but may steer you or someone in the right direction.

Event Viewer -> Power-Troubleshooter -> "what's the wake/sleep history?" For me, it was Windows Update, running every ten minutes, doing nothing, keeping my PC awake for no reason. After some updates, it stopped. After some more updates, it started again. The beauty of it is that every computer is different.

Same There is no reason it shouldn’t. The problem has persisted between two fresh installs and two different graphics cards. It’s a bit frustrating tbh. Hell for mine the screen saver doesn’t even kick on. If I manually do it the screen saver stays on so it’s not a phantom input issue.

MS Quick Assist requires a MS account, does 10S still have access to standard Remote Assistance? I've used Remote Assistance, with no MS accounts and the invite thing shared via email, to help out my mom. Very easy if your folks can handle dragging and dropping a file into an email attachment.
