  1. Why is my laptop taking long to update?


    I'm using a Huawei laptop, windows 11 and it is not getting updated. From last week I have been trying to update it. After scanning it says "download and install" I did that and it started to download. The download gets stuck at 8% and then it says "error, retry all" and "completed" I have a stable internet connection so that's not the issue.

    :)

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.

  3. Laptop takes too long time to reboot to desktop on Windows 10

    Hi David,

    As per the description I understand that you are facing issues with booting the laptop to desktop as it is taking long time. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    • Do let us know the make and model of your laptop?
    • What is the current version Windows 10 installed on your laptop?

    This issue might have occurred due to incorrect settings to startup the device. Let us try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to check if
    Fast Startup
    option on your device is enabled.

    Fast startup is a new feature in Windows to help your PC start up faster after shutting down. When turned on, Windows does this by using a hybrid shutdown (a partial hibernate) method that saves only the kernel session and device drivers (system
    information) to hibernate (hiberfil.sys) file on disk instead of closing it when you shut down your PC.

    Steps:

    • Press Windows +
      X
      key and click Control Panel.
    • Click on Power options.
    • Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
    • Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable. If it prompts to click on yes, then click
      Yes.
    • Make sure Turn on fast startup (Recommended)
      option is Enabled/ check marked under shutdown settings.
    • If not, check mark it and click Save changes
      to configure the settings.

    Step 2: Run the Power Troubleshooter


    Power troubleshooter find and fix problems with your computer's power settings to conserve power and extent battery life


    • Type Troubleshooting in the
      Search bar on the desktop and press Enter.

    • In the Troubleshooting window, click on
      View All on the left pane.

    • Click on Power.

    • Click on Advanced and then click on
      Run as Administrator.

    • Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    Hope it helps you to boot the system faster. Let us know for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
