  1. How do I stop things I download from being seen by all of the users on the same device?


    Every time I download something for example, Bluestacks, every other user on my device can see, and open it. If they uninstall it, it uninstalls for me as well. And, they can use the same account I use when they open it. I want a bit of privacy, but I don't know how to hide it from their accounts, or delete it from their accounts. Does anyone know how?Also, I have Windows 10, and I am a administrator, along with one other person.

    :)

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    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
