  1. Files altered/changed before I got my computer


    Hey sorry if this is an stupid question but I am bit confused. Got a new computer about 2 months ago but today when I whent diggin around through my files it said that a lot of files were last opened/edited in 2019 and one was last edited in 2018. I bought it brand new so this just seems odd to me. Are their any explanations?

    Unable to alter default apps for opening files to specific applications

    Hi Keegan Sanchez,

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.

    I would like you to try the following steps:

    · On the start menu, select settings.

    · Select Apps and then select Default apps.

    · To choose a default apps for each file type (for example, .mp3 files), scroll down to the file type and click on the app which is currently set as default.

    · You will see the list of all the applications which can be associated with that file type. You may chose the application from that list.

    Try with the above steps, and let us know, if you can alter default apps opening files, we look forward for your reply.

    You can also refer this link:

    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)
