    So windows defender is using 90 percent of CPU power during a full scan which it predicts the last 8 hours. **** is this. I can't even change defender's cpu affinity or priority. Is this normal?

    :)

  3. Device List going crazy

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium and the last couple of times I've needed to open my Device Manager the list of devices has been going crazy. It opens, closes, opens, closes, opens, closes and just keeps on doing that. It's kind of hard to find the device
    you're looking for when that is going on. Does anyone out there know how to make the list behave and stay open?

    Windows 10 - fonts going crazy

    Hi,

    Let's find out why this happened on your Windows 10 tablet. Please provide answers to the following:

    • Did you make any changes in your settings before you last turned off your device?
    • Was there a recent update that was installed?

    This could just be a result of your settings for the text size being altered. To correct it, please follow these steps:

    • Go to Control Panel.
    • Select Appearance and Personalization.
    • Select Display.
    • Under Change only the text size, choose the item with the text size you want to resize.
    • Lower down the size number for that item.
    • Click Apply.
    We suggest you select 9 as the size for all items since this is the standard size that Windows uses.

    Let us know if you need more help.
