Win + R "gpedit.msc" just gives me errors. What disk should I run the commands on? Mine was C:\WINDOWS\System32

I do know what I’m doing, but I don’t know everything. MacOS works beautifully for me in all aspects except this. I asked this forum to figure out what I can do to fix a problem I have. If your nipples are in a twist because you’re getting an Apple-fanboy vibe from me, you can rest assured because I’m very much a Windows guy. I just built a dual-boot system because I love the tinkering.

-- Backstory -- I'm rocking a (objectively) sweet dual monitor setup. Monitor 1 is a 27-inch Lenovo Y27G at 144Hz with G-Sync (I got it to play Minecraft :D), and monitor 2 is a 27-inch Samsung S27E510C at 60Hz with no G-Sync. They are both plugged into DisplayPort ports on my EVGA GTX 1060, with monitor 2 using a DP to HDMI adapter. G-Sync is properly set up on monitor 1. -- Main Plot -- I recently downloaded some flash games that are close to my heart for nostalgia purposes. HD versions of all Mateusz Skutnik's Submachine games purchased from his website, to be exact. I love these games, and you should check them out if you somehow haven't already. Anyway, I load one on monitor 1 and start playing. I notice immediately that the animations look kinda bad, all stuttery and slow and whatnot. It wasn't unplayable or anything, and I just thought it was an inherent property of Adobe Flash Player 11, so I played on. After an hour (long Flash game, right) of playing I move the window to monitor 2 to do something real quick, and I notice the game starts to be all snappy and responsive. This is where it gets funky. I was intrigued, so I started playing around with the window. I put it halfway between my monitors, and I saw the entire window stutter when it was more than 50% on monitor 1, but when it was more than 50% on monitor 2, the whole window would be smooth, even the part on monitor 1. I observed this with another downloaded flash game too. TF? Naturally, I'm confused, so I'm asking and Flash aficionados out there. I didn't do much more testing, because it wasn't really a problem. However, I'd like to know what's up because it's interesting. I put my computer in sleep because I feel restarting might fix it, and I wanna figure it out. UPDATE: Okay now it's a problem. All games are doing this, even after a restart. Send help! UPDATE 2: IDK man, Minecraft is working at 14 Hz. This is weird. UPDATE 3: NVM. I think I fixed it lol. TIL that not all games support G-Sync, and when they don't, they DON'T.

I chose your latter method, and it worked! For how long, ig I'll see, but thank you so much. I was raging.

You might want to look into getting a hybrid SSHD like the Seagate FireCuda. I have two and the speed increase is worth the 20 or so extra dollars.

I am the proud owner of a dual-boot MacOS and Windows system, and I recently got a new monitor. It's a Lenovo Y27G, and even though it has been panned as having horrible value, I bought it because the price dropped to half MSRP. Anyway, it's got all the bells and whistles. Among them is a 3-port USB 3.0 hub. Sick, right? Never had one on a monitor, so I was excited. I plugged my mouse, keyboard, and webcam into it and was ready to rock n' roll. I said, "Let's gooooo!" and fired her up, only to crash 20 seconds after boot. Boo. I think I saw something about MacOS having a hard cap of USB ports, but FR? a crash? If there's any way I can fix this, I'd love to be able to do so. It works just fine in Windows, so it's software, and it's MacOS's fault. EDIT: I forgot to attach the crash report. It's attached now. Also, the hub crashed my system only when it's plugged in during startup, with or without devices connected to it. MacOS USB Hub Crash Report.rtf EDIT 2: Apparently it was the USB port it was plugged into. MacOS must have beef with USB 3.1. The 3.0 port works fine. Case closed, ig. lol I have no idea why though. Perhaps someone could shed some light...

Would that fix my BIOS not remembering the time? It forgets after I set it and directly boot into Windows.

It’s like, 4 hours ahead I think.

I have a dual boot system with MacOS High Sierra and Windows 10 installed. My full system specs: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 (UEFI BIOS vF6, ID 8A0DAG0A) Nvidia GTX 1060 6BG Intel i5 8600k Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB RAM @2400MHz Corsair RM550x (550 Watts) Windows 10 Home 64 bit MacOS X High Sierra 10.13.6 Clover Bootloader v2.4k, rev 4630 My problem is that my motherboard won't remember the date and time after I set it. I don't believe it's a normal CMOS screw-up, as I've replaced the battery. It remembers all other settings, and it forgets the date and time even after I hit "save and exit" and boot into windows. So basically, my BIOS is like "sure dude, I'll tell Windows it's 11:27 PM. No prob G." Then when the Windows lock screen shows up, Windows is like, "Brooooo! You still up? It's 5 AM dog. You got school in two hours, fam." And then when I restart to ask my BIOS wtf is going on, I find out it was high as a kite, and didn't remember the time I told it last. I really don't know what to do. Is there a motherboard daycare I can take it to so it learns to behave? MacOS is fine, however, because I assume it knows the BIOS smokes weed every day, unlike Windows, who's probably high too. EDIT: Problem fixed. I shut her down, turned off the PSU, held the power button for a few seconds, went to bed, got up, failed a test at school, came home, turned her on ;), let the BIOS know what time it was, and, viola! It remembered!
