    Cannot install new software


    Hi, lately I'm having some problems with my laptop.
    About a week ago I had an issue where I couldn't log into my Microsoft account after installing some updates, it kept saying "Preparing Windows" and then logging me into a temporary account, but I fixed that by restarting. Then immediately after I couldn't open programs, because apparently I didn't have permissions over the Program Files folder (even though I'm an administrator), but I fixed that by going through all the program folders one by one (see attached pic).

    I'm mentioning this because it's probably related, because now I also cannot install any new programs, I keep getting various errors. I tried installing the new Microsoft Edge, iTunes and Malwarebytes but they all gave me an error. I tried installing apps from the Microsoft Store, but that gave me error 0x80010108. I also tried to install some updates, and that gave me an error as well, 0x800700b7.
    The only thing I remember doing before this was installing some drivers, which Dell recommended based on my system, so they were compatible with my laptop.
    Even before this, I had a memory management error which made me do a clean installation of Windows 10, but everything was fine after that so it's most likely irrelevant to my current issue.
    I'm running Window 10 Home 64-bit, version 1909.
    What could be the issue here and what could I do to fix it?

    :)

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
