Hi, For some time I have been experiencing automatic volume increase when turning on my PC. It happens rarely but I still want to identify whether it’s a faulty volume wheel on my Logiteh G915 TKL keyboard, G Hub or anything else. I think it usually happend when I do not use the PC for a day, but I may be wrong. I have switched to onboard memory of the keyboard two days ago and today it happened again. G Hub was running though so it also might have been it thus I have disabled autostart. Is there a way to check what was the source of the volume changes? Did anyone encounter this situation? I’m running Windows 11 fully up to date. Edit: I think it might also be doubling the old settings -> from 12 to 24 volume Edit2: If anyone is interested, I think it might have been an issue/quirk with the driver when the screen was put into sleep mode. Sometimes after this the sound stops working and the sound card is not detected at all over hdmi. Not sure though but seems to be the most likely cause.

Hi, I have an Aorus 1660Ti GPU and I have a question to those who have more knowledge about fans and fan bearings. Today I accidentally set a fan profile which I normally use for custom temperature and acoustic testing and the fans jumped from about 0-40% speed up to abput 80%, it was a very dramatic increase over a minimal period of time which I reduced. My question would be how detrimental or damaging is it for the bearings? The GPU is mounter horizontally. I also can hear strange noises, similar to grinding, at about 80% but it goes away above or below that. I assum that it's just fan vireations due to that speciffic spead, right? Can the fans run at max speed, not for longer periods of time, just ocasionally? Thanks in advance.

That is good news! I would try contacting Corsair for a replacement.

He could replicate it with just the cpu and a single stick of ram.

I don’t think you can get a replacement unil they diagnose your so 2-3 weeks of waiting. I think it’s worth it though.

Is this maybe a dual bios motherboard? Seems like it needs to be replaced though..

Let me know what you find out from support, maybe they will have to replace it.

Next thing would be disabling fast boot both in the OS and the bios then.

You might also want to disable CSM in the bios itself, in some cases it may require an OS reinstallation, but you can turn it back on if it does not help.

Greetings from reddit, I’ve done some digging and there seems to be two ways to update Gigabyte bios which is fast and intact, can you try the second method? In general it sounds like a motherboard problem. Are you using a wireless keyboard?

Hi, I have a question about the Nvidia Control Panel Windows Store App. Upon first installation in 20H2, automatic with a clean install, it asks to accept a EULA when first launched, but when I installed it on another PC without an MS user account it is the normal app without the license prompt. Does anyone know why? Does resetting the app via Apps & Features will prompt it again besides removing all of my custom settings?

That’s how it was in my case, it was being blocked, but along with 2 other clients one of which has not been changed for some years now and all of them were from secure sites. I did not go that far as to add exceptions or confirm to download one of them twice (it warned a second time after confirming that I want to download it). Before I install something new I also routinely do an antivirus scan just in case. I’ve also found that starting from the beginning of March most torrent clients were being flagged as such. It was reported on reddit, but at the time of my blocking I just shrugged it off and did not attempt to download again. I just tried it a few days later on a more “dirty” PC and the time correlation of those apps starting to run/being downloadable adds up.

I think that’s how it exactly is, I was just curious why it was blocking one PC while not the other, but it seems that the definitions made the difference. Maybe a pointless discussion but at least I get some insight on new things. Still O regret not checking the protection history for details, but it’s water under the bridge now.. PUA leaves Defender entries, right?

I’ve done some digging about the PUA (potentially unwanted software) function and I think it’s what caused my confusion. In this article (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/criteria) it says that torrent software can be categorized as such but there is the disclaimer that it concerns enterprise while I had the normal home version on all PCs. Maybe a false positive or the function being overprotective? I did not try it again on the same PC after a clean install though, but with all the updates in between it’s not a good test.

Good to know, thanks. I have used that site in the past and monitor each link so I’m pretty sure it was safe, especially since at that time 3 other sites with the same software were also flagged as suspicious/malicious. Maybe indeed those were definitions, maybe I’ll try again just to verify.
