    How Block Unwanted Software From Starting


    Windows 10 Version 1903

    NCH Software seems to have installed 28 of their programs on my PC. There is a directory showing shortcuts to them, including one called Doxillion.

    Now, when I try to edit a doc file by clicking on the filename in my directory program, l get a message telling me to run Doxillion if I want to edit the doc.

    None of the NCH programs are listed in the installed apps in Windows Settings, so I can't uninstall.

    How do I block or uninstall the NCH stuff?

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Blocking unwanted software messages to purchase such as slimware plus

    Hello DonDellett

    I'm Peter F

    Please follow these steps

    Click on the menu icon (three stacked dots) on the top-right of the Chrome screen.

    Click “Settings”.

    Scroll to the bottom and click “Advanced”.

    In the Privacy and Security section, scroll down and click “Content Settings”.

    Click “Notifications”.

    At the top of the page, there’s a toggle that’s set to “Ask before sending (recommended)”. Flip the toggle to “Blocked” to stop the pop-up windows. Below the toggle is “Block” and “Allow” lists. The entries in these lists override the toggle. If you want to
    get notifications from a website, add it's URL to the "Allow" list.

    I hope it helps

    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
