I have a Microsoft account linked as well. I'm also running Windows 11 Pro, in case that's the differing factor.

You are right, it was set up before upgrading to Windows 11. But even now it seems that the option is still there for me. This seems to have solved it, thank you.

Worst case scenario just use zip ties. Realistically you can't go wrong as long as it fits.

Hi all, I upgraded my PC to Windows 11 and there seems to now be an issue. I have set my settings on netplwiz to not ask me for a password/pin when starting the PC, but ever since installing Windows 11, another ghost user has appeared, which it tries to log in to on the initial startup. https://prnt.sc/7kGw16_zmmz3 While my actual profile should be the one on top https://prnt.sc/gHmcfoA8gIei And now there's that annoying step of having to switch over and enter my pin every time I boot up my PC. Note that both of the users also have the same name. If anyone has an idea where this has come from and how to get rid of it, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hiya. New year, new problems, I guess. Having a slight frustrating problem with users on my Windows 10 machine. Basically, I want it to start up on my user profile instead of the "Administrator" profile Windows randomly decided to create. https://prnt.sc/p8oz63 This is the screen I am greeted with after starting up my pc, instead of it just loading into my personal user profile. https://prnt.sc/p8p00i And I'm fairly sure the other 2 profiles weren't even there before. The top one is the one I want windows to start up on. https://prnt.sc/p8p14z I also know for a fact, that that Administrator profile was not on this screen before, but I can't seem to remove it. Not really the biggest problem in the world, but frustrating, when I have to do extra steps just to get my PC up and running. Also makes me type in the password of my user every time. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

No, yes, no. It does have a pin, but that's not the point. My problem is that it tries to auto sign in with none of the details entered. After it shows it as incorrect, i must go click on another user and input the pin. I used to be able to hit the power button, go make myaelf some coffee and come back to a booted pc, now i have to wait until i get to type in the pin and then i can leave. It's wasted literally about 4 hours of my life already.

Hello. This might be difficult to explain, but it has been bothering me for the past few months. So, whenever I got this PC, I disabled sign-in to windows upon startup, but a few months ago it re-enabled itself, while it actually shows as disabled. The biggest issue with this is, that whenever the PC starts, it tries signing into Windows with both fields blank (no e-mail, no password, no anything) wasting my time and killing brain cells.(It actually tries to sign in, as in it shows "wrong user/password" every time, even though I haven't even touched the keyboard) Now I have to go out of my way to grab my mouse, go down to the bottom left corner and choose the other account and proceed entering my PIN or password. (Note, that they're both the exact same name and one of them is the blank one. I have no actual clue where it came from, since there's only one Microsoft account connected to the PC) Anyone else had this happen to them? If so, how'd you solve it, if you did? My time management is screwed by this little thing and I think I'm losing a few brain cells because of it every single day. It happened after some update a few months ago. It's W10 by the way. Thank you for your time, hope this made at least a bit of sense.

That was the plan either way, but I might just wait a little longer than that. Thank you for the answers.

So the best I'm getting from this is.. I should wait a few months?

I'd be able to upgrade one of them within the next couple of weeks, the other would take up to 4 months. 300-350$ would be dirt cheap to get that over here, I can't seem to put all of that together for less than 450. Used hardware market here is pretty much non-existant. I'd be paying a fortune to purchase the stuff from elsewhere. I'm aware of that, I also have a friend that is oooking to upgrade from his pentium 3,so I might be able to get some money towards the graphics card as well if I do the CPU first. Sorry for these posts being quite chaotic and perhaps not very thought out, I'm a bit tired and typing on a mobile.

Thought I should mention: I mostly play CSGO, which is more CPU dependant and I render videos. But I'd also like to crank up graphics in games like GTA V.

Hiya, I've decided I want to uograde something on my PC, I don't have enough money to upgrade the whole thing. The question is, which to upgrade first? My plan was: Fx-6300 to r5 1600 or r7 360 to gtx 1060. Motherboard doesn't support overclockint, so that's out of the question.

Basically, the question's in the title. Lately I've been enjoying the freedom of my own movement and comfort of speakers, and I finally want to get my own. It doesn't matter what they are, as long as they have bass, sound good and are under €150. Thanks in advance.

I'm using windows 10. Alright, thank you. I'll peep this out whenever I get back home. I'll report back on this post if I have further questions.

Hey, thank you for the answer. Probably a stupid question, but how would I know which I have?

Hello, The time has come, that I have to upgrade my CPU. I'll be going from an fx-6300 to a Ryzen 5 1600, which includes a mobo and ram swap. My question is, would I still be able to use the same copy of windows already installed on the same HDD? When I got this PC I couldn't get the old drive to boot up windows on the new PC, while it worked fine on the old one.

Top of the line and not overkill? I think you're looking for a rainbow unicorn.

Windows defender is enough for me..

Ah, I was hoping it'd be a software issue, oh well. I was looking at local discounts recently, saw that you can get a G900 for 60 euros, might give that thing a swing. Thanks.

Hello, I've owned my Steelseries Rival 300 for about a year now, absolutely love it, works great, except.. recently, whenever I click in the mouse wheel(to open a link in a new tab, for example) it usually either double clicks or quadruple click(yes, clicking once on a link opens it 4 times). The mouse hasn't taken any physical abuse, just normal wear and tear. Any ideas on how I could solve this? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.

Hello, I'm not very "headphone savvy", if I could say that, but I've come to a conclusion, that I need to replace the pleather ear cups on my AT ATH-PG1 headset. They've become very hard and my ear is often scraping against the inside of the ear cup, it honestly hurts. Now, the question is, what would be the best ear cups that could fit on this headset? I want them to be soft and comfortable and, perhaps, isolate more of the sounds in the background. Preferably under $50. Thank you in advance.

This. The Razer Krakens sound like sponges in your ears, it's horrible. Your best bet would probably be to re-buy HyperX Cloud.

Hello, So I've been using these headphones for a couple of months now and I can't help but notice how the leather ear-cups of the headphones have gotten "harder" (same goes with the headband). I usually put quite a bit of "junk" in my hair, I suspect this to be the cause of them getting hard. So, the question is, is there a properly effective way to clean them? Simply water and soap hasn't seemed to help, I'm also too scared to rub them too hard since I've had "accidents" of ripping the leather by rubbing it.

Hello, I really have no clue if this is something I've messed up somehow, but ever since last night, I've been getting German search results etc. So, this morning, I go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and it shows my location as Germany, Free State of Bavaria. I have no clue why this would happen, I currently live in Latvia. The issue with this is, that I keep getting German search results on google, before, when I watched a YouTube video with 5 ads, it would show 1 at max, because, well, Latvia, but now it shows all 5 of them. Because Germany. It also puts me in German servers on CS:GO, which can be quite annoying. So the question is, is there a way to solve this and could this be somehow my fault or is it just my internet provider?

The high disk usage was caused by Windows acting up and failing to install updates in the background over and over again. Turning off the PC and completely draining the power seems to have fixed the issue. The disk usage no longer exceeds 10% when simply browsing the web.
