ok yup you were right. I got discord back up, but windows search and settings is still acting weird. Any idea how to fix that?

i did. After reinstalling discord it still won't open and gives the same message. It also broke search within windows see og post for details

Bruuuuh why does windows have to be so doo doo. So no fix? Nothing? Just uninstall windows and then waste two days setting everything back up?

welp i thought i would be easier than having to view hidden all the time, i didn't realize it actually did anything. I thought it was a just an appearance thing.

So a couple days ago I changed the AppData folder to "unhidden" and gave admin permissions for the process. After I realized it was going to take a long time I canceled the process at about the quarter mark and then went back into properties and changed it back to hidden and this time waited for the process to finish. My computer was working fine until I restarted it today. When launching discord I get a fatal java error. Windows search also doesn't work. I can't open the cmd from the windows search menu and have to use the run command. The search function within windows settings is also broken. I checked in Services.msg and windows search is turned on. I'm not sure of any other apps not working as I haven't tried launching other apps. When using sfc/scannow it returns "Windows resource protection could not perform the requested". DISM also doesn't do anything and i have tried both commands in safe mode. Im not sure what exactly the problem is or how to fix it but I have a feeling it has something to do with AppData. Hopefully there is a way to solve it without doing a clean reinstall because I've done one a while back and setting everything up takes forever. As always thanks for any help!

Alright thanks so much. Last question, where would you find those apps and tools, are they listed on the app store or are they an apk download?

Yea thats a good idea. Are there things that could pop up later on after the 30 days have passed? I dunno if this is being paranoid but i don't want to end up with a phone with a hidden problem that appears after its too late. But thanks for the advice anyways.

I was going to take the advice that you gave in the first paragraph and buy a used 7 Pro specifically this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-OnePlus-7T-Pro-5G-McLaren-Limited-Edition-256GB-GSM-Unlocked-More/324245581616?epid=18035142748&hash=item4b7e8aef30:g:s~kAAOSwDIJeRsjz:sc:USPSPriority!48085!US!-1 But I was not sure if the phone was legit given I have gotten scammed on ebay before. They are selling the 7t Pro McLaren Edition which retails for 900 USD and they are selling it for 540 USD which makes me skeptical. The phone is used and probably has some minor scratches or dents but that is the least of my worries. Should I pull the trigger on this or go for an s10 or one of the LG phones that were recommended?

Ok so currently I use TracFone which rides on multiple networks, but my sim uses the one from Verizon as I've found that one to work the best. I know Verizon is on cdma so cdma compatibility would be a really nice feature but not having it wouldn't be a deal breaker if the rest of the phone is good. So I guess to answer your question; no its not too important.

My LG G5 has a 1440p screen with 555 ppi. That's why I want a similar screen. My phone was only 200 bucks new so I would expect every 600 dollar phone to have a screen that is similar quality.

First off the screen needs to be good. I would consider 500 ppi to be a good screen as thats around the pixel density of my current phone. I expect any modern phone would have better cameras than the G5 so thats not as important. Also I would want the phone to last me a while so a good battery is important as I've gone through 3 batteries over 3 years with my current phone. Im fine with the performance of an 855 or any modern 800 series.

the s10 seems the quite popular. I dunno about the 4a since i kinda need the phone to last a while. Thanks

I'm looking at the oneplus 7 pro but its been out of stock for quite a while now so I'm thinking they've discontinued the phone. Are there any other good phones for under 600 dollars that would be worth buying. Used is an option as long as it doesn't have a lot of wear, both aesthetically and on the battery since I guess new phones don't have replaceable batteries. Anyways thanks for any help.

So I got davinci resolve to make a quick montage and I noticed that the app was running at a really low fps. I'm not taking about the video playback in the timeline but rather that the app itself was running at a low fps and was stuttering. The refresh rate counter on my monitor (which is synced to the fps) shows resolve is running at anywhere from 40 to 3 fps. This is when I'm not playing back the timeline and just editing. When I'm playing back the timeline the fps goes up to 60 as that the frame rate of the video I am editing. The transition is not smooth but it does get to 60. In most apps like chrome my refresh rate counter stays locked at 144. I don't know why resolve is doing this but it is making the software pretty much unusable from the stutter. I have the same problem in handbrake as well. I used to have this problem in spotify but the solution to that was disabling hardware acceleration in the app. This doesn't seem like a valid solution for resolve though, if its even possible. My specs are as follows Ryzen 7 1800x GTX 1060 6gb 16 gb of 3133 ram Thanks for any help

Check your usage for each tread on the CPU, because Minecraft is mostly single threaded so while your entire CPU may not have 100% usage, one of your threads probably does. To check go to task manager --> CPU --> Right click on graph --> change graph to --> Logical processors.

So you're saying that a multi million dollar game with millions of users was programmed such that it can't use a GPU and has to resort to the CPU to render the graphics? I find that hard to believe and if it is using my CPU to render graphics why only one core?

Ok, so then how do I get my GPU to render the game instead of my CPU?

?

yeah

My CPU doesn't have integrated graphics so that would be impossible. It can't render 3D graphics.

So I just downloaded BSL shaders for Minecraft and in game I'm getting only 20-30 fps. I thought that maybe the shaders were too much for my GPU ( I have a 1060), but when I checked my GPU usage it was only at 30%. So then I looked to see if I was having a CPU bottleneck and CPU usage was only 10-20% except for CPU 11 which was spiking in the high 90s. Is there any way to get rid of this bottleneck or otherwise get higher FPS? Thanks for any help! (BTW I'm running Minecraft 1.15.2 with OpiFine 1.15.2 preview 13.)
