  1. Your app is being used for sharing


    I have a very annoying issue over various PCs, its like there is an invisible overlay on the screen, when I am dragging images around in an app it will sometimes be 'captured' the image being dragged then is frozen to the screen with a 'stop sign' in it, this sits attop all apps. When I try and quit the app it shows me this:


    Your app is being used for sharing 736390f2-78a2-4327-9ce9-6b30120ce0a9?upload=true.jpg


    Please note this happens in a variety of apps with the only constant being I am dragging around images, typically JPGs within the app.


    The behavior of this screen is odd, for instance to capture it I had to use the desktop shortcut as it goes away if I click anywhere else. Further more the above image is a whole screen image grab, its most bizzare.


    This is quite annoying as I have to quit apps and reload to get back to where I need to be.


    Thanks

    :)

    Cannot access shared network drive


    Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


    If this helps.
    step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
    step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
    step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
    step 3a remove Everyone from list
    step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
    step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
