What PC games would you recommend for a middle class laptop?

I started making a list and then came across this: http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2014/01/14/...omputer-games/

 

WiFi kept turning ON, refused to turn off

hello, I have a brand new ASUS laptop, bought last week (Sept 1st, 2017). this would be my 3rd time turning on the laptop since it is bought and I just noticed a problem. my country isn't big in internet (so expensive to have one installed for home use),
so I used my android phones as hotspot for the laptop to connect to internet. I managed to set the connection as metered, so no worry for laptop killing the whole data plan again today I went online to check update for antivirus and updating the VLC media
player that I used.

so, my current problem that I just noticed, I turned off the hotspot. the wifi icon is supposed to have red X on it right? but it's not. it has a star and it kept on listing the neighbors' hotspot and kept on telling me to connect to it. then I click on
the wifi icon, which brings up all the list of networks available to connect to. the last time I clicked on the wifi icon while the list of networks is displayed, the wifi will turn off and give me a box of "turn on wifi manually". but this time, it isn't.
it just happily turned itself back on. then I searched google, and it said that I can go try the message box thing on the corner next to the clock and date, which just came back to the same page while wifi is kept turning back on after I turned it off.

another search on google, there's no question of not being able to turn off wifi, all questions if about wifi connection kept killing itself after updates.

can anyone help? this wifi from neighboring houses are ALWAYS ON, 24/7, unless there's power outage. they're not actually internet hotspot, but used for the tv, as a bundled deal due to using the ISP's internet. THANKS!

 

Internet through wifi connection

Hi Sammy,

A few possible reasons can cause WiFi connection issues. To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

• Can you connect to the WiFi hotspot of your router? If yes, what is the status of the connection?
• Does your laptop automatically connect to the WiFi? Do you need to type a password when connecting?
• Can your laptop detect other WiFi hotspots around your location?

In the meantime, let's run the Network troubleshooter while connected using WiFi. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. To run it, follow the steps below:

• Click Start.
• In the search bar, type Network problems, and then select Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.
