  1. My desktop machine is throttling wifi to 1.5Mbps, can't figure out why. All other machines...


    Every other machine on my desk has full bars, 25Mbps wifi connection. My desktop shows only 700kps to 1.5Mbps over wifi. Has a good connection, connected to the same brand new cable modem/router. Nothing showing in task manager as eating up the network. Drive and cpu utilization minimal. Seems like a QOS setting somewhere on this machine is limiting the speed.


    Is there anything I can check to remove any throttling for this Windows 10 machine?

    :)

    Win10 BSOD Machine Check Exception

    Hey everyone, so recently I started getting a lot of Machine Check Exception bluescreens and Im not sure what the cause is. Is there a list of steps to figure out what is causing it?

    Thank you for your time.

  3. Mounting Windows 10 machine's disk on an XP machine via network share

    So it's still not working: I still can't access my laptop (Win 10) drive from my desktop machine (Win XP). But I can access the my desktop (Win XP) machine's drive from my Win 10 Laptop. It used to work both ways before I "upgraded" the laptop to Win 10.

    Here is what I have tried since then.

    (1) Made sure that the sharing permissions on my laptop give "full control" to members of group Administrators.

    (2) My account on both machines is a member of group Administrators with the same username and password.

    (3) Followed Arun B J.'s steps (above) to activate the Administrator account.

    Please note that my desktop can mount the laptop's drive (i.e. assign it a drive letter), I just get an "Access Denied" error message when I try to list or access its files.

    UPDATE: Referring to step (1) above: If I change the permissions to give "full control" to Everyone, then my desktop can access it OK. It is only when I restrict access to group Administrators that I get "Access Denied." My username and
    password are the same on both machines, and my account on both has Administrator privileges; why doesn't Windows 10 acknowledge that I am, in fact, an Administrator?

    Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

    Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

    The three most popular choices are:

    • VirtualBox (from Oracle)
    • VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
    • Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

    Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

    As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

    Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
    paid version.
