Bender Blues

All tracks were 'read-only'. Unchecked for editing. Reapplied 'read only' then save. The only thing changed in metadata was the "Halo 9" removed from the end of the album name. Save metadata, poof: all details gone. If you look back into the metadata - all the info is in there: title, artist, track etc (untouched). What gives here?!

Ohhh lorrddyyy!!! I can not thank you enough, thank you thank you!!! Spent 20 minutes with GPT and Bard trying to explain what this feature does and neither could ID it. Bard told me to call MS Thanks again si1enze!!!!

W10 I enabled this 6 months ago and must turn it off - problem is, I can't remember what its called. Worse, don't know if I can explain it. Say you have four explorer boxes on your desktop, maybe a photo in a resized window. None of them are "active", you have to click in it to "wake" said title bar or box. This feature is so you don't have to click, you can just hover your mouse over one of them and its 'active' or 'awake' and the title bar turns to whatever theme color you have. This is so hard to explain, I hope someone understands it. Arrggh.

Gotcha. I explained above, think I've interpreted something wrong I saw. Thanks a bunch.

Thank You. Yeah, I've always had it at 1920, further down the list. But I thought after you enabled the scaler, you were supposed to pick one of those resolutions at the top, then chose in-game. Thats what in a yt clip, after he picked one of those scaled resolutions at the top and he hit apply, it didn't change his desktop resolution. Then he want in-game. Fair to say that's wrong? Thank you again, much appreciated.

Native 1080p here. Enabled image scaling in Nvidia control panel. Then went to 'change resolution'. Lists the scaled resolutions above the native resolutions in the drop down. If I pick like in the picture, 1080p, its resizing the entire desktop. Asks if I want to keep - uh no. Why is it changing my desktop resolution? I thought the nvidia image scaler was only for use in games? And if so, why is it doing this?! Thank you.

Negative, this is no lights on front, no nothing. Pressing power is like like not pressing it. No fan, no lights - nothing. As I said, tried two Tosh working PS's. Both metered 19.2V output. Thanks though

Died for no reason. She's older, but its use is a single task, so kinda need it. Two power supplies (orig / extra) both metered @ 19.2V, no startup, no lights, zip. Removed battery, tried both Tosh PS's. No workie. Disassembled, everything removed to get to the mobo. 19V to the back of the female charge jack. 19V to the motherboard, where power jack ribbon attaches. 19V on both hot lines after the attachment, going toward power switch. 19V at the micro power switch on the motherboard. Zero lights on the front of laptop. Maybe some ideas? TY, hope your Sundays going well.

Yes, many several years ago. Good catch on that 140MB/s, talk about misleading. Thats not what I read on the description when I bought it. Glad to hear its fine. Thanks to JL above, that policy change did actually make a difference. 3+ hours to transfer originally to 45 minutes. I can live with these numbers now hehh. Ahh see what you're saying on the connection. It is SATA. But its "portable" so its SATA>USB - which isn't ideal. Cheers Bondi!

Ahh I see, my apologies for misreading. Here ya go. It is 100% the E: drive and selected. Wonder why it says interface is serial ATA - weird. Its USB.

After reading this thread just now, sounds about as good as its gonna get... argh. But! Changing that policy did yield a bump in writes, so thats not a bad thing! Cheers, and TY for your solution. EDIT: Damn, that policy change and that slight bump in writes went from 3 hours+ for the transfer to 42 minutes. Nicely done JL! Ill take the bump

Someone asked what drive it was, thats why the link. There is no searching, that is the drive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4XH5IG/ If you want to know whats on the inside, its in the first post, on the purple screen. Maybe you didn't catch it.

This is an external. Its this one, nice at the time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4XH5IG/ Did the policy thing. It was set for quick removal. Clicked performance and cachhing checkbox (need to use 'safely removal USB' now). Same speeds. But Im gonna reboot and test with Crystal again. TY!

Seagate, right here, bought in new years ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4XH5IG/ Defraged her a few weeks ago. Not a lot of activity on it since. Its not that far off? Man, I would assume it cant crawl that slow. Thanks for replying!

My conundrum: Atrocious USB transfer speeds. These are the results on my USB HDD, using 3.0 port. Tested the other 3.0 port, same speed. 2.0 port obviously worse. I understand its a 1gb 5400 spinner with "ok" R/W speeds, but that can't be even 'ok'. Tested another 2tb drive, horrid. Tried two other cables, same crawling speeds. Rebooted just for kicks, same. Any ideas/tips on what to try on this W10 machine? CPU/ram a plenty, and plenty fast ( i7 - 16gb). Its not hardware bottlenecked. Thank You.

Awesome! I'll give those a look when done replying. Thats the answers I'm looking for, Thank You! Anymore, anyone?! Some favorites maybe?

I'll give that a try. Although, everything I've read - all things equal, Tera is a bit slower than FastCopy.

Right. Yes, its a 2tb USB drive on 3.0 The speed of the drive not really an important - if its slow or fast, in will be slow or fast with various copy programs. So all things equal, I'm just looking for a program thats faster then explorer. And so far, they are slower.

Need to keep a folder up to date maybe every month or so. I usually copy said newer folder, paste it, delete the old. This folder is roughly 100gb in size. Windows (10) takes roughly 3 hours to complete. So I thought I'd go find something.... all the talk about "FastCopy", installed and... Its horrible. Same 100gb folder would take 6 hours and 20 minutes with FastCopy. wtf?! Used windows Robocopy - its twice as slow as copy/pasting. WizFile is an awesome (magical) search program. Somehow, its search is just as fast as pressing the enter key. That fast. Building the database when first opening, its a flash of time. Wish they made something for copy/pasting Any ideas?!

Wow, thats cool! Never heard of such a thing. I hope others will share here, not sure why I'm not seeing more replys

Little lame I know, still a fun time killer. This site: https://antibody-software.com/munchyworm has a fun, in browser "Centipede" like game. Try it, you'll get hooked Now with the GPU playing a big role in browsing - where are some cool websites to play? For example, years ago, I remember a website that had every Atari game from the arcade days to play in your browser. I'll be damned if I can find it. Googled around, just not seeing game play. Can anyone list some fun sites?! THANK YOU! MunchyWorm

OK, will try that, last piece of the puzzle! Your setup looks fantastic, nicely done. Not any idea here.... but the creators of this excellent tool, would it take a miracle to update it to maybe have an option for in-game overlay, full screen? I'm assuming its been mentioned or thought of, just found it kinda odd that such an excellent piece of software like this doesn't have that last little golden nugget. Cheers!!

Enabled it. Panel stays on top of all programs. But not in game, damn.

The gauges are just temps in Fahrenheit. Wanted them to see when throttling starts if ever. Throttling begins roughly at 149f for this CPU, set the offset in the config. 155f for GPU throttling. Basically 150ish for both

Havent tried that! Will try now and get back. Did find it kinda strange the moderator at AIDA's forum said you can't.
