Tried with both the lid open and closed, same results. Also tried it plugged in and out, still, the problem is there.

Strangely enough, this did not pop up on the search results when I Googled it. Thanks a lot, will be reinstalling my GPU drivers now

You completely failed to see my point and just made random assumptions. First, my laptop is freakin power hungry. Look it the TDP of my processor. This thing lasts an an hour or so outside of the charger. Second, I play CS:GO on this thing. What kind of a doofus plays on a laptop on battery power? Your "easy af" statement killed me. This issue did not exist before. Before, when I shut my system down, everything turns off, the fans, the HDD, etc. And whenever I would turn my system on, it wouldn't show as charging as no power was being wasted. Now, it the fans spin and blow out hot air until the laptop's battery goes to 0%, meaning that the thing is STILL RUNNING EVEN AFTER I SHUT IT DOWN. When I boot this thing up, the battery charges from 0%, meaning that the battery has been drained from the system RUNNING even though I already shut it down. Fourth, no one in my previous thread provided concrete answers. That is why I deleted it and started a new one. And btw, do you even know what spam is? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Use your brain next time

Hi there! My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7447. A few weeks ago, I noticed something strange. Whenever I would turn on my laptop, the battery indicator would show as charging, which is really weird since I never use my laptop unplugged from the outlet. I just unplug it every night for safety concerns (but the laptop is turned off). I did some observations and found that after shutting it down, the exhaust vent would still blow out hot air, meaning that it wasn't COMPLETELY turned off. I already tried disabling fast startup via Power Options in the Control Panel but the problem still persists. For now, there is a workaround - I have to hold down the power button for five seconds after the screen goes blank. However, being the OCD guy that I am (I freak out when something isn't normal with my gadgets), it continues to bug me. This has only started happening recently. Please help and thank you in advance!

Posted in TenForums and turns out, it's a bug in the latest update of Windows.

When I try to run it (with Administrator privileges), it shows that it has 76.9 MB of files to clean. After cleaning, I try to run it again, but it still shows that it still has 76.9 MB of files to clean, like it didn't clean anything. Is there a way for me to reset Disk Cleanup?

It's laggy as hell. I'm talking about client apps like Boost, Sync, RiF, Relay, etc.

Title says it all.

I only use Defender. And no one gave useful answers (one guy told me to go install Linux lol)

Something like McShield, though it is, unfortunately, very outdated.

My friend asked me to fix his ASUS laptop. He said it wasn't booting up. Sure enough, it boots straight into Automatic Repair, and after that, it goes into this error screen. I went into the ASUS website to learn how to boot the thing up into the BIOS/UEFI in order to set it to boot from the flash drive that has Windows 8.1 installation media. It stated to shut it down, hold the F2 key, and press the power button. Alas, nothing happened: it still boots up into Automatic Repair. Could you guys help me out?

You do realize the subforum that I posted this on is Phones and Tablets

I have this impulse to clear cache many times in a day (through the Settings app and SD Maid Pro). I also clear the cache partition (done via recovery) every few days. I was wondering, is there any negative effect by doing so this frequently? If so, how often should I perform it instead?

While I do understand your point, and I hate to be an asshole because I'm the one asking for help... are you kidding me?

I occasionally deal with my classmates' thumb drives because of, you know, school work. More often that not, these things have malware on them, and I'm tired of running an MBAM scan every time I plug one into my laptop. Windows Defender doesn't seem to scan flash drives when I insert them, and I'm not really keen on the idea of purchasing an AV that does this since I'm broke. Do you guys have any suggestions on what program would work best for me?

Thanks for rhe feedback! Do you have any recommendations for free AV that scans flash drives upon insertion?

It heats up within seconds?

I have a 16 GB SanDisk flash drive (dual OTG, USB-A and C). It's been fine for the first few weeks that I had it, but recently, I noticed something strange. When I plug it in, Windows would inform me that something is wrong with the drive, and that I should run a scan. After doing so, strangely enough, it tells me that nothing is wrong. I tried cleaning and formatting the drive using Diskpart (FAT32), and still, the problem remains. Sometimes when I try to copy a file, and right click on the an empty space on the drive and click on "Paste", it would just disconnect and I would have to reconnect it. And by the time a file transfer is on the way, say a 4 GB movie, after 10% is complete, the 30-40 MB/s transfer speed crawls to 10%. I tried using h2testw to verify any bad sectors and it reports that everything is fine. I also tried using USB Flash Benchmark and the speeds seem alright. What the hell is wrong with this thing?

Title says it all. I'm in need of a program that tests flash drives if they are counterfeit or not.

As a student, my flash drives occasionally get plugged in and out of my classmates' laptops and print shop PCs, which may or may not contain malware. I find it very frustrating to not be able to do something about it, so I did some research and I've read that I should to download an "immunizer" application that disables some autorun scripts on the flash drive itself in order to prevent the malware from executing its functions. Just wondering, is this legit? Here's sample links of the programs I'm referring: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/BitDefender-USB-Immunizer.shtml http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/Panda-USB-Vaccine.shtml Also, what free program can scan flash drives upon plugging them and remove malware in the process?

Yup, I used AIDA64 with CPU, FPU, cache, and RAM checked when I undervolted the CORE ONLY to -0.90mV. It passed an eight-hour run, but would crash a few hours into CS:GO. Reduced the undervolt to -0.85mV (both core and cache this time) and ran AIDA64 again (same boxes ticked) for eight hours and it passed. Haven't tried to play CS:GO yet. I might disconnect from a competitive match again lol. Is there any other stress tester that will help catch errors that AIDA64 cannot?

Thanks, guys! What stress test program should I use and how long should I run it?

I don't experience any throttling, but it gets a bit warm when under load (not that much). Should I undervolt it?

Windows Spotlight seems to be broken in my system. I already tried the tutorial here to reset the feature (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/82156-reset-re-register-windows-spotlight-windows-10-a.html), but it doesn't work. Every time I choose "Windows Spotlight" as the lock screen, click the back arrow, and click "Lock screen" again check to see if it works, it reverts back to "Picture". This is getting really frustrating. Please help
