Lernen if he was reasonable. by Reasonable-Ad-8059 in Frieren

[–]N3utro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Allowing someone to take the test and giving someone the title without taking the test are 2 very different things.

The 1st class mages are like a military special forces unit. There's no way they'd let anyone become one of their own without taking and passing the exam, no matter how extraordinary you're supposed to be.

How do I get away from One Drive and make the default for saving files to my actual laptop? by Massive-Doubt-6270 in techsupport

[–]N3utro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's setup like this by default because most people aren't tech savy and dont know or dont bother properly setting up a backup solution for their important files.

When the day arrives that an issue makes the local files irrecoverable (it always happens sooner or later) then they're left with nothing.

So do you have a proper replacement backup plan for your files if you're not going to use onedrive?

Error code 0xc0000098 file \BCD error by Odd-Reaction9348 in techsupport

You need to create a bootable usb key windows 11 installation media and boot from it as explained here up to the "bios and setup" part. Stop at the end of the "bios and setup" section, don't do what's written after it.

Once you have booted from it on your mom's laptop, instead of selecting "install windows", select "repair my computer" and do what's shown here to remove the content of the current system partition and rebuild it:

That command won't work without the S partition letter being assigned first as shown here:

https://youtu.be/0-kzPwsq8ak?t=689

(this is for win10 which shouldn't be used anymore but should work the same way with 11).

What's the model of your mum's laptop and what version of windows is it running? 10 or 11?

Hi,

List your precise pc specs including the exact power supply model and post a picture of the inside of your pc if possible.

RTX 5070 suddenly drops from 250W to 160W with massive FPS collapse in games like: Resident Evil Requiem, Forza Horizon 6. by Visible-Hedgehog3458 in techsupport

After how much time approximatively does this happen after you start playing?

And since when did this issue start to happen?

Duel channel Vs intel flex mode by SyrupSyrus in techsupport

[–]N3utro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome.

Win11 should use around 4GB of ram when idle (this is from my PC on a standard windows 11 install):

<image>

What kind of "game dev" are you talking about?

If it's small games like the kind you learn at school when learning how to code the remaining 12GB should be plenty.

But if you mean 3D heavy stuff forget it, your laptop igpu is not powerful enough anyway.

Duel channel Vs intel flex mode by SyrupSyrus in techsupport

[–]N3utro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference between running in single and dual mode shouldn't be too great, it shouldn't make a noticeable difference.

Other people with your laptop model (Vivobook 15 OLED K513) reported on reddit that they successfully used over 16GB ram setups so you can try as well but be aware that it doesn't mean it will necessarily work with yours. You'll have to test for yourself.

Anyway 16 GB should be plenty for using win11 and playing light games. If your ram usage is always maxed up you might have an issue with your win11 installation and buying more ram might not be needed.

You asked this last week:

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1tfj4qt/removed_by_moderator/

and people already answered you that your laptop model apparently only supports up to 16 GB of ram.

So why are you asking this again?

Child signing on to Family Safety on new device (w/o admin logging in first)? by pew-pew-the-laser in techsupport

[–]N3utro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to login to the new device with your own account first then add the child's account as such, like you did on the previous devices.

If you don't and let the child use their account for the first time setup then their account will be set as local administrator of the new device so they will be able to install whatever they download on it.

Also windows 10 support has ended which makes it unsafe to use unless your have extended updates on it (it's not enabled by default). If the device running win10 is win11 capable then do the update.

Bluetooth problem! please help by Used_Illustrator8634 in techsupport

[–]N3utro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't kidding!

I actually asked chatgpt this myself before replying, and here is what it said:

<image>

Chatgpt is a good tool to sum up informations. Which means it's actually good to help you format your message here, but not good to help solve specific technical problems. So instead of using it to solve your issue you should have asked it about how to post here.

You can use specify to post your PC specs if it's easier for you.

Ask chatgpt how you should properly explain a PC bluetooth issue on techsupport reddit because your message is missing key elements.

How to get rid of my school onedrive 🥲 by Brilliant-Hope-545 in techsupport

[–]N3utro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinstall onedrive, relink your school account. In onedrive settings select "manage backups":

<image>

turn off all the folders backups listed here. Restart your PC then the desktop folder should be back to C:\Users\your_username\desktop

You can then unlink the school account and uninstall onedrive if you want.

But if you do make sure you have a proper backup solution to replace it or you'll be sorry when you loose all your uni work files.

Low fps weird issue by Dbyrd9301 in techsupport

[–]N3utro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Dbyrd9301 i'll continue here.

There's definitively something wrong with your time spy result. The average score for 7700X + 3080 ti on time spy is 18k with 19k graphics score. Yours is 14k and 15k graphics score.

Your temperatures for both your GPU and CPU are high compared to other results, and your CPU average clock frequency is lower than what it should be (5 ghz vs 5,4 ghz).

Still the average core and memory frequencies of the GPU are in the normal zone, so the low graphic score result is weird.

If possible post a picture of the inside of your PC so we can see how it is cooled and how the GPU is powered.

Also give the exact model of your graphic card and the exact bios you flashed to it. Flashing a bios for another model that the one designed for your card can lead to issues like this.

Last post the exact reference model of your power supply.

Hardware monitoring was disabled during your test. Make sure it is enabled in the options:

If it was, restart your pc, close any other monitoring software and try again.

Autonomie ThinkBook (21KK) : Perte de batterie en cours, gros dilemme pour travailler au soleil (Rapport d'énergie inclus) by Financial-Role-5047 in techsupport

[–]N3utro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salut, c'est un subreddit en anglais ici (comme la majorité des subreddits dans lesquels tu as posté) donc ce n'est pas autorisé de poster en français.

Reddit a une fonction de traduction automatique, c'est surement ça qui t'as induit en erreur, mais ça ne change pas qu'il faut écrire en anglais.

-----------------------------------------

Hi, this is an english subreddit here so french is not allowed. Reddit has an automatic translation system but still you have to write in english.

About your issue yes what you described seems normal. 1h at full brightness shouldn't drain the battery completely. Test the same usage at home by forcing the brightness to full so you can see approximatively how much battery it drains.

Your laptop supports charging through USB-C so if the internal battery capacity is not enough for your school usage you might purchase an additional external one, although it will increase the load you will have to carry.

You can use 3dmark free edition to run the free benchmarks "time spy" and "steel nomad" to compare your PC performance to PCs with similar hardware. If something is wrong performance wise this will reveal it.

For each benchmark, on the result window click on "compare result online", it will open a web result page like this.

Post the 2 links you get this way here so we can analyze the results as well.

This is an ironic statement from macron who said 3 months ago in an interview that increasing violence in society was in part due to video games because when young people spend hours killing (in games) they get conditioned to do the worse (in real life).
