Khorne posted:What is the best way to put OBS on the worse CCX of my 5950x & try to make sure games run on the other CCX. I've been playing some fps games & trying to record/stream them but my fps mins get screwed up really bad with OBS running and there's noticeable input delay while aiming. I think it's due to the fps games I'm playing being real old & capped at 333 fps & using not even half of the fastest core because with the same OBS settings I can play far more demanding games with no perceivable change in minimum fps. On a 5950 the root problem might be that the game is getting moved back and forth from one CCX to the other, which is bad because the cache then has to get moved over. Windows scheduler is supposed to avoid that, but in the case of an old game + OBS I bet it's getting tricked into thinking that OBS is the most important app that it needs to give priority -- it's using the most CPU time after all. So I'd go for setting the game to run on only one core, or a short selection of cores on one CCX. If the cache issue is what's causing the slowdown, that's the best way to solve it. On windows you can launch a program with start /affinity with a hex mask to lock which cores it uses.

CCX hopping also makes sense. It's very strange how it makes aiming feel. It's almost like streaming used to feel in 2010 where you gain significant input delay from it, but back then I had a terrible 2 core processor.

I recently got a new printer, and apparently in order to get it to print duplex, I have to install the PCL driver rather than whatever Windows automatically installed. I downloaded the package from Xerox, but when I point the "update driver" dialog at that folder, it tells me that the best driver is already installed. How can I force it to let me override the driver?

I ended up just biting the bullet and grabbing the bundled installer from Xerox. At least I could uncheck the extra utilities it wanted to install, but duplex printing works now (sort of; turns out it's manual duplex).

Show desktop is normally to the right of the clock. That space usually shows a button labeled with the current keyboard locale. It normally shows ENG if you're using an English layout.

Does anyone know how to prevent Windows 10 from prioritizing USB tethering instead of Wifi? I recently enabled my iPhone's mobile hotspot, and now whenever I plug it into my computer Windows 10 chooses to use it over my Wifi connection. The only "solution" I've found elsewhere is to disable USB devices entirely, which, uh... isn't really a solution? I can also manually disable my mobile hotspot every time I want to connect via USB, but that's a bit of an annoyance if there's a way to make Windows do the sensible thing automatically.

I never found a solution, though what I wanted is for it to prioritize one WiFi connection over another, cause it would usually default to the slower one.

Can you not just turn the hotspot on and off in the pull-down menu like on Android? It takes like three seconds. I can't think of any reason I'd want hotspot turned on by default in the home, or even most of the time outside the home.

Yeah you press-hold on the wifi icon in the pull down control center and it expands and there's a hotspot toggle in there. Not going to blame anyone for not knowing about that completely undiscoverable interaction

You may be able to do that by adjusting the metric values. I've done that ages ago to prioritize between ethernet, WiFi and VPN. Go to Network and Internet - Ethernet, on the top right choose "Change adapter options". This brings you to the old Control Panel. Right click the adapter you want to adjust, choose Properties, in the items-list choose "Internet Protocol Version 4" and click Properties. On the next window click Advanced and then uncheck "Automatic metric" and set a suitable value. Values between 10 and 100 probably work okay, smaller is higher priority. Repeat this to all competing adapters. But this is pretty arcane stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft has fucker things up in Win 10 and with weirder adapters.

Yeah, I found that option while searching after the original post, but it didn’t seem to work for me. I might mess with it again. For now I can just use the long-press in the pull-down menu on iOS that Jenny Agutter pointed out (which I indeed didn’t know about, so thanks!).

Fun mystery here - can anyone figure out why Windows thinks my gigabit connection is a 100Mb one when it wakes from sleep? The PC is connected via powerline with every part of the connection being gigabit rated, and on boot Windows correctly shows the connection as gigabit and gets about 350-400Mb on speed tests. However if I allow it to go to sleep and wake it, Windows thinks the connection is a 100Mb one and throttles it accordingly. Is there some setting I can change that'll stop it doing this?

What brand is your onboard Ethernet - Realtek, Intel or another company? I had the same issue with a Realtek NIC, and after endless loving around, figured out that Win 10 kept replacing my existing driver with a newer one, one that caused all sorts of link speed weirdness. Once I reverted back to an older driver, it would stay at 1gb speed even after sleep.

Yeah it's Realtek. Stop loving up my computer, crab! There was a setting for "WOL & Shutdown Link Speed" which looks like it reduces the speed of the adapter when in hibernation. I've set that to "not speed down" just in case Windows was struggling with increasing the speed again after it woke up and a quick test of manually putting it to sleep seemed to work. We'll see if it still works when I do wake on LAN.

Arivia posted:What were the two programs/commands for checking reasons for reboots/shutdowns/etc? Twice in a week I’ve woken and my computer is shut down for some reason. 1. Reliability Monitor (type reliability in start for the easiest way to get it) -- if the shutdown was unexpected this will show you a red X in the "windows failures" row. If it was a BSOD you'll get an item related to the BSOD that says "windows stopped working" plus one that says "windows was not properly shut down". Example:  If it was a hard failure (power loss, a hardlock that required the reset button, or similar) you just get the not properly shut down one. OTOH reliability monitor doesn't show reboots / shutdowns that were intentional. For that you need: 2. Event Viewer - follow these instructions. This will will show you all shutdowns including intentional ones. A shutdown that you did yourself will look like: "The process C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe (COMPUTER) has initiated the restart of computer COMPUTER on behalf of user COMPUTER\User for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found"

Is there anything weird with the way Windows 10 reports on RAM? My dad's old PC was becoming almost unusable, and looking at the Performance tab in the Process Manager it showed 6GB of RAM running at 400Mhz. The sticks are DDR3 and rated up to at least 1333Mhz so I didn't know where that 400 was coming from. Took a look through the BIOS and the memory timing was set to [AUTO] which was claiming to be 1066. If I manually set the multiplier (I don't remember the exact numbers) the smallest value gave me a speed of 800 (which I believe would be reported as 400 in Windows because of DDR(?)), the second value changed the number to 1066 and the third value took it up to 1333, which both the RAM and motherboard should support. Is there a better way to check/configure RAM timings? I didn't want to start changing too much in the BIOS since it already doesn't line up with what we're seeing in Windows.

CPU-Z's Memory tab will show the current RAM speeds (at half the actual speed because DDR does its thing on the rise and fall of the pulse). The SPD tab will show the timings supported by the RAM modules.

Takes No Damage posted:Is there anything weird with the way Windows 10 reports on RAM?  My RAM is running slightly off normal clocks (1313 instead of 1333) so it's rounding a bit, but it's displaying the expected clock as would be advertised for this mode. Also apparently I need to figure out what's up with my BIOS RAM mode selection as it's running in the lowest mode and totally ignoring the XMP tables.

My wife's job just became permanently work from home. They gave her a Windows 10 laptop (a really old ThinkPad, but we both love Thinkpads due to the trackpoint mouse so that's cool). Her job is to answer occasional phone calls using a Cisco IP phone emulator program that's on the computer. Anyway the microphone on this thing really sucks because whenever she answers the phone, people can barely understand her. So I bought some cheap wires earbuds that have that little microphone thing on them and when she uses it, everyone says she comes in crystal clear. The only issue is if she leaves it plugged in, she doesn't hear the phone ring which is obviously a huge problem. Leaving it in her ear 10 hours a day isn't really an option. She could simply plug it in when she gets a call but the phone software locks up for a good 15 seconds when doing that so it's not really an option. I guess my question is, is there some way in Windows 10 to have audio play through the laptop speakers even when headphones are plugged in? That way she can both hear the phone ring while the earbud is plugged in, and also quickly put the earbud in her ear to talk to the person. Keep in mind this would have to be a built in feature of Windows 10 because this computer is locked down crazy tight so external software is not an option. Hell, if she so much as plugs in a thumb drive the computer automatically shuts itself down and locks itself.

That depends on the softphone used. What do they use to make/take calls? In Microsoft Teams it's possible to configure a secondary ringing device, i.e. another audio device that will also play the ringing sound. Other telephony software should have something similar, where you can choose the device for ringing separate from the device for speak.
