  1. Windows 10: no sound, no connections available, and background image turns into plain gray...


    My windows 10 laptop has been having problems with the internet connection, seems like it was a problem with the driver. This has been happening for the past months. Each time there is a windows update, my laptop becomes unable to connect (detect WiFi specifically) to the internet. After some updates it is fixed, sometimes not so I use a wireless USB adapter.


    - In the past it gets fixed, now it doesn't so I always have the adapter plugged in.

    - A few days ago, every time I open my pc, my wallpaper appears just fine. After using the laptop for a while (opening chrome, browsing the internet, learning programming with python using an IDE), the wallpaper becomes gray with patterned dots.

    - Another one which I haven't noticed for the past few days is the sound of my laptop. I muted the sound using fn + f10 since the windows notifications annoys me in my studies. Today when I unmuted, there was no sound at all, the sound icon at the bottom is just fine, I looked up the status of the device and it's working. I tried updating drivers since windows updates might have messed up with my pc again.


    How do I fix this?

    :)

    Gray background active windows - does it exist yet?


    Hi mousegolf.
    We have a theme thread and some of the guys are really good at changing colors around the system. Of course, there are some areas that are like "snap-ins" and are fixed, but you'll see in their themes, you can accomplish a lot.
