Windows 10 being Win10 possibly..., my post was to reflect that you keep it installed, and disable the util keeping it installed, so Win10 won't keep asking you to reinstall that driver over and over.

 

Not ideal, you want it all gone I know... but I have no solution for that.

Windows doesn't keep asking me to reinstall the driver unless i uninstall it. Installing the utilities won't fix that (well, i think it won't, and it shouldn't).

This issue consistently causes crashes in a couple of games i play. In particular, World of Tanks (which i've been playing a lot of recently. The pain of having my PC crash, and then returning to a battle to find my tank dead and 29 people deciding that i'm an idiot for driving right into the enemy... Well i don't enjoy it.

hmm it the boot order i noly have samsung or hgst, in which i dragged samsung to the top if that what you mean. I dont seem to see any "windows boot loader". I did however update my bios and timing  again i got 18 seconds. Is this considered fast? I see some youtube comments saying they got 7 seconds but these are youtube comments so im not too sure how reliable they are

 

edit: on reddit i see some ppl are getting 10-20 seconds on a hdd so ya im now pretty sure my startup time is relatively slow. what shld i do??

You updated your BIOS!!!! Did you read what i said???

Was 18 seconds a typo, or have we got this booting faster?

EDIT: Wow, I recorded a boot time of 26 seconds. To be fair my PC boots to grub (linux bootloader) and then to Windows. But, 18 seconds is still perfectly fine.

Install the Asus Utility, and then never run it or have it run ever.... Disable it from startup, but leave the system service so it doesn't bug you.

 

It's what I did, installed, added some custom fan curves, stopped it from starting at all @ startup but left the Asus services alone.

Okay, but how is that going to keep the driver uninstalled?

Having the utilities installed will only make things worse, since the services will still be there.

This isn't a dependencies problem, this is Windows 10 continually installing a driver, and giving the user no choice in the matter,

Sorry noob question, did you install the driver before you try to disable it?

I haven't installed the driver manually, no.

I believe the motherboard is telling windows to install the driver (it is only necessary for the utilities)

disabling it thru device manager still cause problem?

A good point and something that i didn't think of.

Buuuuut the disable option is greyed out

hahaha i just went into my bios and apparently fast boot was already enabled

Okay let's try the boot order in the BIOS. Is it filled with a bunch of options, and have you got the correct one set first. For windows it should be "Windows Boot loader" or similar.

Get rid of the awful ASUS utilities

Perhaps i should've mentioned that they are not installed. The driver reinstalls regardless. I figured it was inferred, given how much i hate those utilities.

I just timed my bootup and it was an entire 28 seconds? While this may have been super fast 5-10 years ago, in 2015 with windows 10 on a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD I don't believe this is the best it can do.

 

What could be the issue? When i say 28 seconds i refer to the time it takes from the moment i press the on switch to the login screen so i doubt startup apps could be the issue right?

 

Some info that could help i noticed that there after the "ASUS" screeen and before the 'windows logo" screen there was a black screen with a blinking dash on the top left hand corner. What do i do?

I'm assuming this is on the PC you've got in the description. If so, that kind of hardware really shouldn't be booting that slow.

Go to the support page for your motherboard and check for BIOS updates. Just in case there's some kind of fix (you'll know when you see it). If there's not a fix that will almost definitely solve this, don't update your BIOS. That would be a very unnecessary risk.

As for fast startup, it's worth a shot. But you should note that it must be disabled if you're going to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu (or possibly OSX, but i wouldn't know because why would anyone do that...). Fast startup should be enabled both in BIOS and in Windows (control panel -> power options -> choose what the power buttons do)

Hi

If you've got an Asus motherboard you might've heard of this fiendish driver. Those awful Asus utilities require this AMDA00 driver. Unfortunately both of these things cause issues (including random shutdowns in games)

I've stopped automatic driver updates in device installation settings. But that only stop Windows from messing with a driver that has been manually installed.

So, after removing the driver, it reinstalls five seconds later. I've tried that troubleshooter from windows to hide updates, but it isn't shown there. 

Hope you can help, thanks in advance.

Have you altered the privacy options in the win 10 settings menu. There's a couple that mess with Windows mail.

Why won't it let you remove your account?

Also what's with the link to windowsphone.com ...

Yeah, i thought there was something suspicious about that. Why would microsoft link you to "windowsphone.com". They usually just bing search "windows 10 help"...

So that's showing up in a Windows 10 app. Which suggests a virus. 

EDIT: You're on desktop Windows 10 right? Just checking.

i dident went on new egg did i say i went to new egg no i went to amazon still nothing

....... We're looking at old server parts. EBay, Craigslist. That's where you'll find this sort of thing.

Here's a poll for everyone. I'm doubtful as to whether we'll get a decent sample size, but let's have a go.

I meant directly, as in the way a franchise like Fallout which originated as a PC game series, I don't know what they have in the works for ideas, I'm sure some of them are fans given the storm trooper helmet, but they usually pick ideas rather randomly so who knows.

It might not be directly, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, right?

not a star wars fan lack of plot and too many plotholes

Fair enough. But there are plenty of people in the PC community who are star wars fans.

This makes me wish i'd setup a vote...

True, idk they aren't likely to do it as star wars doesn't have much to do with the PC community minus battlefront which is just EAs new cash grab

What?

Sorry, but i would argue that Star Wars is closer to the PC community than a lot of things.

I've never met someone who's into PCs, that isn't at least a small Star Wars fan

Because Disney copyrights are not something a sane man messes with./jk

 

WTF would they build an R2D2 computer, it's been done before unlike their fallout bomb build

No one said R2D2. Maybe BB8, or something like that.

They did a Fallout one and it was 2 videos, and it was only 2 parts because it didn't work out so well the first time, otherwise it would have been one.

Three videos, the conclusion is on Vessel at the moment.

The main problem with the Fallout build was the form factor. But, Luke did well with what he had.

it would take way too much time for it to be worth it for just one video unless you want a seven part series once a week....

So basically the Fallout build. I'm pretty sure (Vessel) that Luke said they'd want to do more themed builds.

Okay so, Star Wars Battlefront has been released, and Luke said that they won't do a Star Wars build because they've missed the launch. Which is fair enough.

The thing is, most PC gamers don't give a rats behind about Battlefront. 

This is what we all (most) care about. So, (provided that LTT wants to, (regarding user stats and all that) why not do a Star Wars build for Star Wars The Force Awakens. 

I just need links im capeable to build a pc so i just help i dont want any trouble 

Like i said. If you don't want to do the research, don't do. This isn't as simple as going to Newegg and picking some parts, with your mind slightly focused on compatibility.

Can sombody help me i tried to look for this and no luck can somebody like send me links so i can buy it please 

If you're incapable of researching the parts for yourself, then you really don't want to do this.

Go and buy/build a pc with modern components, unless you know what you're doing, and want to be adventurous, or you just want to learn the hard way.

When we post topics about Vessel videos non-Vessel people complain, when we don't post topics Vessel people complain... Can't really win either way

When a Vessel video is released, create a thread for it titled [VESSEL] _________. And then ________ for youtube.

The fact is, people are going to hate. So go with what makes sense. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems as if you guys are trying to please everybody, or something along those lines...

Can you build a badass gaming rig on the cheap using old server hardware?

 

 

This looks really interesting (well it did last week when i watched it on Vessel. But apparently we have nowhere to discuss videos...)

Only problem is, now all of LTT's subscribers know, so that's a bummer. I'd like to look into this, not as a serious budget PC. More as a cheaper (than getting two new xeons....) PC, that would be capable of doing what you guys did with Unraid, 2in1pc virtualisation.

I hope the sequel will have something interesting to offer. It's not like I want to hate it. I would really appreciate an awesome new Star Wars game.

Yeah, i don't get the "love to hate" mentality...

It's a shame that the new SWBF didn't live up to [my] expectations. But alas, i'll be playing SWBF2 at a LAN party, which is fine by me.

well...you know...a core 2 quad Q6600 and GTX 750ti machine should cost less than a PS4...and if it can reach similar or better gaming experience then it's all good.

That's very true, which is why i'm sorry
