  1. Required sign-in to Windows every two years


    Hi,

    I keep reading articles about Windows online and, I'm getting confused because not every thing posted on the Internet is accurate. I read an article the other day that said that in August, Microsoft was going to effectively deactivate accounts where people hadn't logged in in over two years. I'm just clarifying. It said it doesn't apply to people with paid subscriptions, or people who maintain a subscription- this would be me- Office 365, which is paid every year.


    I'm asking because I never log out of my accounts! I just want to know more about the new policy.

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    not able to disable driving signing requirement


    I'm trying to install a program on Windows 10, from several years ago, and getting the error "A digitally signed driver is required." I looked up how to disable this requirement, and followed the steps.

    Shift-Shutdown

    Selecting configuration option for startup configurations, reboot

    Hitting F7 once I get to the options screen

    reboot

    And I still get the error while trying to install the program. I tried this a few times to no avail.

    password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.
