You mean the Realtek HD Audio manager/ Panel? with audio presets, equalizer etc??? Yeah i was dealing with that last night, windows 10 installed the realtek driver while updating with windows update and i was looking for realtek manager everywhere to change audio settings but i couldn't find it, then uninstalled that crap windows update installed and i downloaded the latest audio driver from MSI site (i have b550 tomahawk) and nope, it didn't solve the issue. Long story short, seems like newer Realtek drivers doesn't have the audio panel/manager service.. whatever, you had to find one that has been "tweaked" in github or download the "UWP version application, from Microsoft Store" so go to your motherboard website and look in the drivers section under utilities, etc other software and drivers section. BUT i did something different... i still use CD/DVD drive so i grabbed my old motherboard DVD and installed old drivers, i didn't know if that could work but it did, i have the realtek manager now i can select different presets, access the equalizer, speaker configuration, balance, sound effects, room correction etc. Driver version is 6.0.1.8040 I hope this helps, btw uninstall current realtek driver, then restart, go and uninstall the windows default audio driver BUT don't restart else it will reinstall the default driver so just keep going with the old realtek driver like the 6.0.1.8040 or some other, you could try a more recent version but not too recent cuz once again those don't include the audio manager service anymore , at least that's what i read last night.

Sorry for the late reply but that doesn't work, Windows 10 doesn't give a fk and sorry for the language but im already pissed off with this OS. I doesn't let me uninstall it's own shtty antena driver and now i want to get rid of windows default audio driver so i can install the one from realtek and get access to realtek panel and equalizer... nope, windows keeps reinstalling same bs microsoft driver no matter how many times i uninstall it and going to system protection then to device installation settings does absolutely nothing. No matter what windows won't let me install a different driver.

btw do i need a quick format or full format for the new hard drive??? i know it's not recommended for SSD's cuz the hugeee read/write cycles wearing it out but for HDD's?? i mean it's a new HD so quick format sounds good but im not sure.

Greetings! i'm about to install win10, i'm a newbie with this OS and i was wondering if someone knows where to find a list of unnecessary, useless, bloatware and spy, telemetry services & apps that i can deactivate through powershell, registry or just in the services list. With win7 i think i have no more than 27 or 29 processes, (task manager) my sister's computer with win10 has probably twice or more, anyways i'll keep looking but i would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction and by all means i don't want to be rude but there's no need to tell me "oh but why? don't touch that, get more ram, the gains are negligible, you might break something, you play on potato?" there's plenty of such useless comments in reddit already, thx in advance!

alright i'll do it with disk management thx!! how the hec can i do that? i need like a calculator and do math right? i don't wanna install extra software to do it damn xD this is getting more complicated every minute. For what im reading there's a performance increase but now im worried cuz some say that "every write operation must clear 2 cells and write 2 cells" if ssd is not aligned then this: "4K alignment is the process by which the partition on a hard drive is aligned to the physical storage space on a disk to process data more efficiently. If the partition is not aligned properly, the SSD has to access twice as many the SSD's physical sections for any file operations." Means i've been wearing out my drives for years and i didn't even know bout this aligment thing till now, i always created partitions as i pleased like eg: dividing 1tb hardrive into two 465gb partitions without caring for the difference in one or two GB and MB or KB.

Greetings!!! Some years i used disk management to create new volumes, partition & format my old SSD drive (GPT table), just to be sure i spent some minutes in google to see if did it right back then and...well... Seems like most people do it with CMD and "diskpart"... Personally i consider myself a very clumsy person, i don't like messing with stuff like this without a graphic interface, that's why i like disk management but what's the real difference? why so many do partitions and more with cmd and diskpart? why don't just use the disk management and few mouse clicks? Anyways let me know if i can partition my new drives with disk management like i did some time ago, thx in advance! btw same goes for some usb sticks and im a windows 7 user, not for long cuz im installing win10 soon!

Greetings! I'm trying to make this dumb TL-WN8200ND V1 wireless usb adapter to work with Windows 10, it keeps losing the signal every 3-5 minutes and disconnecting so i have to "fix" the connection with win10 help again and again. The V1 is not fully compatible with windows 10 not like the v2 and v3 models. this is the website for the tl wn8200nd adapter https://www.tp-link.com/mx/support/download/tl-wn8200nd/v1/#Driver I've been looking around and one possible solution would be installing the windows 8 driver (according to some other people with the same issue) BUT windows 10 installs a default, generic driver and i have no idea how to get rid of that, there is no option to remove the driver while uninstalling the adapter and everytime i restart, windows keeps installing the same driver. I thought "hmm maybe i can locate the win10 driver for this device in system32 folder and just delete and replace with the win8 driver" but some people advice not touching system32 drivers not even this one from "realtek" Yet TP-LINK advice deleting the driver in system32 (this is for another tplink product tho) https://www.tp-link.com/es/support/faq/861/ Any suggestions? ima buy a new antenna if i can't fix this but i truly want to save some money and make it work, thx for the help!!

TYVM for all the help, i think i got lucky since computer did POST and got video signal with a BIOS screen showing that this motherboard has F14 bios version and the minimum required for 5000g series was F13 so i think there's no point in updating bios unless there's a significant improvement in newer versions right? Anyways i freaked out a little bit, the 1st time i turned the system on i saw nothing on screen and the rgb in ram modules stopped working after 12 seconds or so, then i waited like 7 minutes and i was thinking "damn maybe this is what happens when BIOS is not compatible, well i guess it's time to use q-flash button and usb stick.." i pressed the power button like 5 seconds to shut down the system but nothing happened hmm everything was still spinning as in CPU and psu fans, so i hit the power button one more time and looks like the system restarted... Then RGB in ram was on in this rainbow pattern, everything looked fine and finally video signal!!! a bios screen with some info of ftmp bitlocker sht whatever, anyways that was a relief cuz the screen said this computer had F14 bios version still i wonder what happened the very 1st time i turn it on, that was scary.

Greetings!! I'm a newbie and i just finished this build with new ryzen 5600g and b550 gaming x V2 and no other hardware except CPU and RAM, means no SSD, Nvme or HDD connected, so i started the system and i got this message: New CPU installed. fTPM NV corrupted or fTPM NV structure changed. Press Y to reset fTPM. If you have Bitlocker or encryption enabled, the system will not boot without a recovery key. Press N to keep previous fTPM record and continue system boot. fTPM will not enable in new CPU, you can swap back to the old CPU to recover TPM related keys and data. What does it mean? what do i need to press?? Y or N ? Corrupted? Changed? why ? this is a new system!! System will not boot without a freaking key??? i don't like this. I don't want to activate any encryption thing whatsoever so what should i do???? BTW i'm gonna install Windows 10 i don't care about windows 11 atm. Thx in advance!!!

Sry for double post but, when flashing bios with q-flash button and CPU installed.... do i have to connect the cpu cooler fan to motherboard? you know to the 3 pin cpu connector? kinda sounds like the right thing to do but im not sure, thx!

Alright so no problem by using flash bios button / q-flash plus button having cpu or even ram installed while doing it. Thx!! i was a little worried due all the post in reddit talking about not doing it with any component installed and then people saying that it'll be fine with cpu, ram etc just like you said. I like mike's guides but in this video he says that Q-flash won't work with CPU installed... That's why me and probably many others are so confused, not because of mike's video alone but many others repeating the same idea from different sources. But that's a 2 years old video, now here's a 2 months old video where he says "ideally" or "up to you" or "just in case" Next video is for the board we talking about the Gaming X V2 The BIOS which adds compatibility with Ryzen 5000G series was released in July 2021 i would be very surprised if bios is not updated as it was bought last month, in 2023 !!!! Might just give it a try and see if post, if it doesn't i flash it and cross fingers, thx for the help!

About the PSU's we have the Corsair CX650, CX550 and Cooler Master MWE 600w. So do you recommend installing everything except SSD's etc then turn it, see if POST and shows something on screen? and if nothing happens then use flash bios button with latest, stable BIOS available? I was hesitating about doing it like that, again, some people say CPU shouldn't be installed while doing bios flash, no RAM and pretty much nothing installed except PSU and obviously the motherboard but if it's ok to do it with CPU installed then i'll go ahead and do it this way.

Greetings!! Recently i purchased two B550 boards, the MSI Tomahawk and Gigabyte Gaming X V2, one for me one for family member. Tomahawk https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK/Overview Gaming X V2 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550-GAMING-X-V2-rev-10-11-12#kf But i have no idea whatsoever about what BIOS version is installed on each one of the boards, Both have the "AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop Ready" sticker in the box and that doesn't necessarily mean that they are compatible with Ryzen 5700x and Ryzen 5600g since there's an endless amount of topics about people who couldn't boot the system until they upgraded BIOS eventho motherboard claimed to be "ryzen 500 desktop ready" Who knows? maybe i'm lucky and i got recent versions as i bought the motherboards not long ago (Last month) but maybe im unlucky and i got boards that have been sitting on some shelf for months...anyways, i really don't want to install the CPU's and find out that system won't boot due wrong BIOS version because then i'll have to remove the CPU, waste more thermal paste, clean it with isopropyl, re-apply later and use the flash bios button etc. Do you know if there's any info about the BIOS version by looking at the board itself or the serial number and other codes in the box and motherboard? Now about the Flash Bios Button (MSI) and Q-Flash button (Gigabyte) Some people say you have to use some old USB drive between 2gb and 8gb size for better results, some say you need to use FAT16 and not FAT32, some say old power supplies won't work (how old? 5y old? 2y? 10 years old?) etc some say you can brick the motherboard and some others claim that you can flash it non-stop multiple times and even if power goes off you can pretty much inject bios no matter what thx to flash bios button, then we have people who followed the instructions from mobo website and flash failed and TBH this is giving me a massive headache already with all the multiple and contradictory answers, or maybe just different results for many people? either way, what do you recommend for both motherboards in case i have to use the flash button feature? 1- Should i get the latest non-beta BIOS for both just to be in the safe zone? 2- What if i flash using the same BIOS version currently installed in the motherboard? (coz again not knowing what version is currently installed is like doing it blindfolded) 3- Can the mobo boot and show BIOS on screen even without CPU installed? i've read that some motherboards can do that but im not sure plus no idea if that can cause any problem or damage to the board or bios itself by booting with no CPU and/or Ram sticks. Thx for the help!!!

Ohh i forgot to mention the M5A78L-M LX has integrated hd 3000 gpu, back in the day before using the computer with the radeon hd6780 the integrated hd 3000 was working just fine.

Greetings!! I had this old Asus M5A78L-M LX am3+ motherboard with AMD Athlon II x4 and windows 7 for my sister, she uses the computer just for social media, netflix etc so it was more than enough imo, anyways last month she was watching netflix as usual, she always use "suspend (sleep)" to save energy but that day when she came back after having dinner well... the computer didn't react and just showed "No signal" on monitor. We restarted the potato, turned off for 15 min, we removed the battery and hit power button few times, we even hold the button for 20 seconds etc and still no signal. I Tried with just one ram stick then changed ram to different slots. Nothing. Removed the ATI HD6780 or something and tried with integrated graphics. Nothing. Used a different monitor and cables, still Nothing. Then put everything together outside the pc case over some boxes just in case the case was doing something weird and same result. Nothing no video signal. Finally i got an old PSU and again same result, no video signal with different power supply so i took the power supply of this M5A78L motherboard just in case that one was faulty but it worked with old HP Pavilion Pentium IV computer, no issues whatsoever, windows XP fully loaded and i didn't hear or even smell something funny. M5A78L Motherboard doesn't give any kind of sound/beep with Buzzer and i tried with two different buzzers. The only sign of life is this little green led and it makes the fans spin at regular speed but nothing else. This is not the 1st time the exact same problem happened, some years ago my old AM3+ system with Asus M5A97 motherboard died just like that because i always used to put computer into sleep mode so i could just come back anytime and move the mice to start the system immediatly but one day after waking up, i moved the mice and nope, no signal, i restarted and nope nothing. I changed ram, cmons battery, different power supply etc and nothing happened. I think the motherboards just died for whatever reason but it has something to do with the sleep mode, it can't be just coincidence that two asus motherboards stopped working after using windows 7 sleep mode. What do you think happened?
