I'm just gonna give up on this, I feel like I've tried everything. It's only for a few more days anyway. Thank you all for all the help.

Okay a little update. When I deliberately input a wrong username/password it connects for a while not really doing anything before spitting out "access is denied" but if I input the correct username and password it instantly returns "access is denied" which leads me to believe it's some other issue maybe?

It could still be, I'm using a Microsoft account as my login on both machines so am I supposed to put my email into the username bit? Does it need any quotation marks around it or anything? Am I meant to use my pin instead of my Microsoft acc password?

Just getting "Access is denied", I did the "net use" command and still just nothing. Unless there is something in Hamachi I could change?

File sharing and Plex still work.

This is a pretty petty issue but basically I've been away from home to visit family, and I've been using Parsec to stream games over to my laptop, the computer has completely frozen after about 27 days of working great. There is only a black screen when connecting through Parsec or Remote desktop, I've tried doing the Win+Ctrl+Shift+B to restart the graphics driver but no results. I have no direct access to the PC as there is no port forwarding available on its network so I use Hamachi which is still up and running on the remote PC meaning I can use file sharing perfectly fine. The Plex server running on that machine is also working fine. I've been trying to use commands to restart the PC through the command line as the account on my laptop is the same as the account on the remote PC. I've used: shutdown -m \\hamachi-ip-address -r -f psshutdown \\hamachi-ip-address -u username -p password -r But I got "hamachi-ip-address" is already performing a shutdown operation, you must abort it before issuing a different command" I tried adding -a but it couldn't find the psshutdown process so I assume it needs to be installed on both machines for that. The PC has been performing a shutdown operation for over a day now so idk. The only thing that I feel like could work is the PsKill.exe command and killing winlogon with it, the issue is that all I get is "access denied" no matter what I seem to do. pskill.exe \\hamachi-ip-address -u username -p password winlogon Which returns "Couldn't access hamachi-ip-addres: Access is Denied". If anyone can help that would be great, I can't get physical access to the PC until I go back and nobody would be able to do it for me either. Cheers.

Hi, apologies in advance if this is asked often. So basically I have a budget of £400 for my PC upgrades right, and I am definitely set on getting one of the Ryzen CPUs, I was looking at the Ryzen 5 3600 but I'm not sure it it supports the AMD IOMMU GPU pass-through thing. I want to switch over to Linux full-time and have a Windows VM for when I need specific software, can anyone recommend a motherboard and AMD CPU combo that supports GPU pass-through to a VM that comes under £400? I currently have a GTX 980 but I'm going to pick up a crappy GPU to use for the host machine until I can get an upgrade for my 980, then the 980 will be the host's card. Let me know if I have missed any crucial info out. Cheers.

So on my next PC build, I will make sure it is capable of AMD-Vi for IOMMU, mainly becasue I want to switch to Linux and have a full-performance (almost) Windows 10 virtual machine that I will use for audio middleware, digital audio workstations and also gaming. I will be using Qemu for this. I use a Focusrite USB 3.0 audio interface for my headphones and speakers, but I am wondering, if I pass through the audio interface into the virtual Windows 10 machine, and install the device's drivers inside the W10 machine, will the audio coming from my interface be directly from the virtual machine to achieve the full quality of 96kHz or will it have to pass through pulseaudio on the host machine for some reason? If it does, will it matter? Can I still get the low latency audio and full 32bit@96kHz audio I need? Or perhaps change some host settings to get around the issue? Let me know if I have missed anything out that would be helpful to know for an answer. Cheers. Note: The OS I will be using is Manjaro.

Basically I have been wanting to switch to Linux permenantly for a long time but I am limited becasue I use a lot of audio software that just isn't there on Linux and all the games I play either don't work through Wine or don't have native ports. My ideal setup would be to run Manjaro as my main OS and use Qemu to run a Windows 10 machine with close to the performance of a native install as I've seen people do with hardware that supports it. I am thinking of getting either a Ryzen 5 3600 or 3600X depending on what happens later in the year but I want to know if it will support AMD-Vi or not. I know the Ryzen 5 2700X does and I am happy to just buy that instead if 3rd gen doesn't have it. Thanks.

Ah okay, thank you. I'll keep an eye out for information about it. Thanks for the help

Wow the base 3600 seems like a really good value, would anyone recommend that over the X version?

Have they released any information on the price of the 3600X? Cheers.

I can't imagine it being a PSU problem as it's the newest part in my system (a corsair 650W I got last year), although it could still be a PSU issue I believe it is either the RAM as two of my sticks are secondhand, or the motherboard as it is just plain old (It's an Asrock z75 Pro3).

My computer is on it's way out, it will only turn on 10% of the time although when it's on it works fine until I turn it off then it's pure luck if it will turn back on for the rest of the day. I have chosen to ignore this issue as I will be upgrading my PC this year anyway. My i5-3570K just doesn't cut it anymore, even at 4.2GHz. I do a lot of emulation on Cemu, RPCS3, Xenia and Yuzu, my CPU can handle Cemu okay but for RPCS3 it runs horribly on games that are supposed to be fully playable at constant 60fps for other people. Yuzu is bound to have bad performance for most hardware I know so I won't see that much improvement with that until the emulator is improved upon. Alongside emulation I do a lot of audio work where my CPU will not be powerful enough to process the amount of things going on in my projects leaving me to have to render out stems to .wav files which is annoying if I want to change it later. In addition to emulation I run a Plex server on my PC as well which usually has someone streaming from it at any one time, if I try to use an emulator such as Xenia or RPCS3, the stream will stutter and freeze so I am basically unable to use emulators when people are using my Plex server. The GPU I have is a EVGA GTX 980SC which I think could be bottlenecked by my CPU in certain tasks. Anyway, is going from an i5-3570K to a Ryzen 5 2600X going to be worth it? What are the differences? Will the performance really be improved that much? (Bearing in mind I will be upgrading from DDR3 to DDR4 RAM in the process too, along with a decent motherboard this time around) Thank you.
