  1. Windows 10 broke my laptop


    I have an ASUS X540LJ, I tried installing Windows 10 on it, once it installed, there were audio drivers but audio itself wasn't working. The RAM usage went too high and the laptop itself began heating up quickly. Then I reinstalled Windows 8.0 on it and sound still wasn't working, except it did when I first installed 8.0 on this computer using the same media. I decided to restart and after the bootscreen, there was a black screen for more than a minute until I got a bluescreen. once it restarted, I got blue screen again and the error code in both of these were PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I was too stupid to realize Windows 10 had done it's thing and killed my memory. Once ripping out RAM from one of my older laptops this one has a dead processor and putting it in this one, Windows booted successfully, sound was working again and the old memory had to go to trash. Thanks a lot Microsoft, be glad that, that broken laptop of mine didn't have broken memory.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
