Hi, I recently installed Windows 10 pro on my main rig a little while ago and joined it to my active directory it is able to work independently from my AD (I have those servers off because I am waiting for parts right now). The computer has some Xbox Game Pass, Steam, and Blizzard games along with Autodesk CAD software overall it is a really blank and clean slate of Windows, however going back and forth between menus and using shortcuts like I normally do has been leading to some unwanted slowdowns. e.x. I'll press win + e to open file explorer on my laptop it opens just fine, very snappy, but on my desktop could take up to a few minutes, same goes for basically anything its almost like the SSD that I have is dying of some sort it is a Western Digital NVME 4th gen PCIE and I bought it back in November. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts as it what it could be let me know. Also I have run virus scans and sfc /scannow and everything came back clean

hmmm

I am going to contact PIA about it today and I will see what they say

I am just wondering if anyone else has this issue and this is more of a rant. Why does Microsoft give a flying frick about whether or not I use a VPN. Every time I connect to PIA in DC through auto connect all of my Microsoft services kick offline I have even found that it goes as far as to unregistering your computer because the block VPNs. Very strange as this seems like why would it matter where I am connected just let access the dang microsoft store so I can update Minecraft. You wanna know the fun part? Windows Updates still works as if this is a localized issue for just their content network like microsoft store, onedrive, and freaking microsoft office of all things won't work with a VPN does the all father Bill Gates care if I am typing my school essay ONLINE or LOCAL god forbid we do anything locally nowadays.

Issue solved

Hello everyone, Recently I encountered an issue with my laptop trying to access my LAN devices, servers and switches. When I go to the IP of my NAS '10.0.0.20' I get hit with firewall blocked this type message in chrome. I allowed all of the IPs I am going to be using in windows defender firewall and bitdefender but I still get the same issue. Also I have tried my lan desktop and my brothers wifi enabled laptop and they do not have issues accessing the servers so. I have also tried pinging a device on the router and it comes back as "General Failure" (I checked my DNS server because I thought it was that and I flushed it in cmd and changed it to 1.1.1.1 to make sure that nothing setup with my DNS servers and VLANS were messing with it because I have subnet blocking enabled for the one wifi network)

Hello everyone, So for context I have three Unifi Access Points, I have a Main network, a restricted network, an IOT network, and a guest network. My main router at the moment is an Edge Router 4 and I just got a Unifi USW-16-POE that I am trying to setup VLANs per WiFi network. I was trying to setup for the restricted network because its for the children in the house so that they can't be on bad sites (using openDNS family shield as a DNS level firewall) and so far its not working I have the network profile, Switch, and router profile setup with a DHCP server but so far it is not working maybe someone can guide me through this. Also I am hoping to have the Restricted, IOT and Main network still be able to communicate with things like printers so maybe someone could also help guide me through firewall rules for that if everyone of the Vlans are on their own DHCP server ranging from 10.0.0.x - 10.0.50.x

Hi Everyone, I was going to be getting a managed Unifi switch so I can setup Vlans. With those Vlans I am going to be setting up separate DHCP servers for every category of devices in the house and it would look something like this. 10.0.0.x - Main Home WiFi, Access to servers on subnet 10.0.10.x - Restricted Network for the kids 10.0.20.x - IOT Restricted network only 10.0.30.x - Guest Lan Okay so my big question is lets say I am a device on 10.0.0.x and I want to print to a printer on 10.0.30.x could I do that. Second big question is if I am a guest on 10.0.40.x I would not want to be able to access printers, speakers, TVS etc. Is that possible to setup in a UniFi Edgerouter 4 (I am going to be building a PFSense box later).

I know this is kinda shot in the dark but any ways. I bought a Dell Inspiron 7500 2 in 1 for school and I have noticed and its bugging me that when I switch from tab to tab, program to program the brightness changes constantly. I am running windows 10 I have auto brightness off. I did read somewhere it could be dells intelligent display software but I can't seem to find with a guide most recent enough any help appreciated.

It is possible because I was having the same issue that you have to go to the motherboard website and get the newest drivers for the lan card. I did that and it worked very well haven't had an issue since Discard that I often read very fast and I read over the part where you said that you tried different drivers

It's very rare the an ethernet cable just breaks unless it has been tugged on a lot

Unless that modem is a modem-router combo doing it that way isn't going to work you are going to have to do modem>router>switch>devices

Perhaps if your switch is managed maybe it isn't setup correctly? Is your modem connected to your router then your switch then your devices?

My brothers laptop is a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop while mine is an HP envy X360 we are running the same version of windows and I only have one FTP user to login to and it worked great first try for him when I went and logged in, we aren't the same windows user though I am have my own account (I am trying to update to 2004 from 1909 to see if that help we are both running currently 1909)

5550 is the port I chose to use and I am not directly going into a sub folder but thanks for the reply
