  1. "Go back to the previous version of Windows 10" taking more than 2.5 hours


    I istalled an update yesterday and upon turingn on my pc today, it wouldn't recognize my keyboard or mouse. The only way I got it to work was to connect another mouse and it worked. I decided to us the "Go back to the previous version of Windows 10" feature, but it has now been more than 2.5 hours on the windows logo and moving dots screen. Is that normal? Thanks!

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    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.
