    Is it really possible to break into a computer that is locked?


    Hi,

    This is not a question on how to do it, but to clarify if it is possible and if so how to make sure it does not happen.

    A family member told me a few days ago that he would have little problem accessing my PC that was locked if he used a small program that that he brought along on a USB.

    I have set up all accounts on my computer at home with PIN codes. Would he really be able to access my user on my computer as he claims (or in any other way)?

    This is a guy that works with computers so I do not know if he told me this only to scare me or if he would really be capable of doing what he say.

    Therefore I ask you guys Is it really possible to break into a computer that is locked? :)

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

  3. is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

    Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:

    Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.



    Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



    It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



    I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



    Try the following steps:


    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command

    • Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter

    • Search for the programs and un-install it.


    Regards,
