SWKS

Ah, for some reason that was obscured by a notice, once I clicked that it cleared away and I could view the history. Thanks.

Honestly though, how? Such a simple task that Windows just basically ruined in another crap update. Every site I've gone to including Microsoft says go to the history tab but ever since one of these new updates, they completely redone Windows Defender and the history tab is gone. I don't even know what version I'm on. Please help.

I just upgraded my graphics card and I noticed when using ear buds or headphones, a faint whirring/whining sound comes through and in more graphically intense loads such as games, it manifests into a more clicky-buzzing sound that's much more noticeable. The noise also seems to vary by what you're doing. Going back on a webpage or clicking a link will pause the noise until the page fully loads again and at least in Skyrim, the menu halts the noise. Its not my headphones/earbuds issue since turning the volume to zero still emits that noise and connecting to another device such as my phone yields nothing. I believe its coil whine from the GPU since it persists in multiple applications and it didn't occur in my old GPU, although I can't really hear it from my GPU and its a lot less "screechy" and loud then what I've heard from other examples. Its not bad enough for me to return it but its rather annoying. I've heard that GPU coil whine goes away after a while. Or is this something different and there is a solution for it?

I noticed that Chrome and Firefox were freezing constantly and some online games such as War Thunder just refused to launch. So I ran Malwarebytes, did a full scan and it found a couple of adware, asked me to restart to complete the process and everything went normally. Until I got into the desktop and found a black screen with only CMD open. Typing "explorer.exe" works and Chrome and War Thunder now work properly but its getting really annoying typing into CMD everytime I login. I heard some stuff about going into Registry and finding if "Winlogon\shell" leads to explorer.exe, which it does so no solution there. Also saw recommendations of resetting Windows to go back to a previous point but doesn't that just mean I start back at square one with the adware? Any solutions?
