  1. When will we EVER get a say in what settings will be enabled or software installed?


    Updates are appreciated.However, updates that include changes to settings, or enabling features or adding software, or whatever you want to call it, without informing us is rather, well, rude. Call me provincial. I set up my computer to control distractions, and no, "Focus assist" is not an acceptable solution. When I have to undo settings I've disabled after an update is one such distraction. There is software that I prefer, and I really don't care if Microsoft feels that I would do better with their version, like Edge. Don't like it? Too bad. I prefer Chrome. I may switch to another web

    :)

    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

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    Hello Mohan,

    Please answer the questions below for better assistance.

    • Which version of windows is running on your system?

    Method 1: Disable security software on the system.

    Disable Antivirus and security-related products, if you have any Antivirus installed for (Free) uninstall it, if not then disable the Antivirus, try again to Change the proxy setting and check if issue is resolved.

    Disclaimer:
    Antivirus software helps protecting your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software and\or
    troubleshoot any pertinent issue, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you are connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to malware attacks
