    Settings shaded so I can't change.


    I have a Lenovo L-340 Laptop that is 17 months old running windows 10 home. I have been the only User since it was new but there are settings that I can't change such as "Project to this PC" because the button is shaded and in the ON position. What makes this really strange is at the top of the settings page it says "This device doesn't support Miracast, so you can not project to it wirelessly." It baffles me why I can't turn it to the OFF position. Thanks in advance for any input you can give. JRP12-425.

    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

    Windows 10 Shaded out Settings

    I have recently been in contact with Microsoft Support about settings in Windows 10 that reset or change from the settings I apply, and settings that are shaded out so I can't control or apply changes to them. One such setting is Project to this PC. It is
    ON and every thing is shaded out. X-box settings will be tuned on to record my game and audio, and Broadcast settings will also change from my settings. Share my connection turns on . The uninstall apps buttons are shaded out on 15 of the 27 apps that are
    installed. This PC is my personal Laptop and I am the only person to have ever used it since new. Is this every ones experience with Win. 10 settings? Thanks in advance for any input.
