  1. Desktop Screen Missing


    I do not know how it occurred, but my desktop screen is not showing and I have the start menu down the left hand side of my screen.


    I prefer to have my Desktop and Desktop icons as the main home screen. The Desktop screen and Icons will come up monetarily when I close out of an application. I have tried everything I can from the personalization and I can figure out how to get back to my previous screen settings.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    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)

    Poll: Desktop Screen Size

    This goes along with my Desktop Screen Res poll. A lot of people have been posting their monitor size in addition to voting in the poll, but I wanted to make an actual poll to put the screen size votes in a more easily readable format.

    This is for desktop systems, not laptops. I've tried to include all screen sizes that people are likely to have; if yours is not listed, round up. If you have multiple, different-sized screens, check all that apply. I've also listed projectors as an option.

    I didn't list individual sizes over 32" as these are typically not intended as PC monitors; just select "Larger."
