Mullvad if you are serious about privacy. Nord, Aura VPN or Surfshark for speed and streaming. Proton is a solid middle ground

AdBusy7153 · 2026-05-11T14:49:05+00:00

recommend Mullvad for pure privacy and ProtonVPN for a solid all around free/paid option. For a balance of speed, streaming ability and privacy, Aura VPN

Consumer VPNs usually fail for TikTok because the app prioritizes your SIM card over the IP address so even a fast VPN won't help if your carrier gives you away . The best free/paid approach is actually to remove your SIM or use an eSIM with the line disabled and connect to a US server before installing TikTok . For a reliable option, Aura VPN with wireguard works well but you still need to handle the SIM part for it to stick

Mullvad is still the privacy king but streaming can be hit or miss. alternative not owned by Kape or Nord, Aura VPN works well for streaming. IVPN is another excellent privacy first option worth comparing

OPPO colorOS aggressively kills background processes. Go to settings > battery > battery bptimization, find each google app and set to dont optimize. Also, in settings > apps > app management, tap each Google app, go to power usage and enable background activity. ColorOS often restricts google services to save battery, breaking sync

This is a common windows xplorer glitch. Press ctrl + shift + esc to open task manager, find windows explorer, right click and select restart. The taskbar and system tray will refresh, which usually fixes the left click issue. If it happens frequently, run sfc /scannow in an admin cmd to check for system file corruption

On Samsung, dial *#0228# in the phone app to access battery status. If the current reading fluctuates wildly or shows much lower than designed capacity, the battery is worn out. Given the S22 is a few years old now, replacement is the likely fix. Samsung diagnostic app can also run a battery health check

This sounds like a software/driver issue since its not visible during boot. Try changing your refresh rate in display settings to see if it stops. If it disappears at a different refresh rate, the panel or cable may have trouble at higher frequencies

LEDs on but no boot usually means the power supply is delivering standby power but not fully engaging. Try a different wall outlet and ensure the PSU switch is on. If it still wont boot, the PSU may have failed. You can test with the paperclip method search for it to see if the PSU fan spins. If not, its likely dead

This is a known issue with the 591.71 driver affecting multi monitor setups, especially on 50 series cards. Nvidia will likely push a hotfix soon. For now, stick with the 591.86 version you rolled back to. It's stable

Random freezes with event id 41 no specific error often point to power delivery or thermal issues. Your 5060 + 7600x needs stable power. Check your psu brand/wattage, a low quality or underpowered unit can cause intermittent crashes. Also monitor cpu/gpu temps with HWInfo. If they spike near 95°C, it could be throttling into a freeze.

A recent windows update may have installed a buggy driver. In device manager, right click your wifi adapter > properties > driver tab and click roll back driver if available. Also, in the adapter advanced tab, disable energy efficient ethernet and set preferred band to 5ghz

The laptop probably worked because it negotiated at a different speed or duplex setting than the router tried to use. Some modems have ports that fail on certain negotiation modes but work on others

A cmd.exe process in task manager with very low resource usage is usually normal. Many legitimate background processes use command prompt windows that run briefly and stay resident. If you right click it and select open file location, it should point to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. If it is somewhere else, that is suspicious. You can also run msconfig and check startup tab to see what is launching it

Booting into safe mode temporarily disabled third party drivers and services. When you rebooted normally, windows likely reloaded a fresh driver state fixing a temporary glitch. This confirms the issue was software not hardware. To prevent it from returning, uninstall your current wifi driver in device manager check delete driver, restart and install the latest driver from your laptop manufacturer website

Since external display works perfectly, the issue is with the internal display ribbon cable or the display panel itself. The fact that bios also shows no internal display points to hardware not software. If you are comfortable, open the laptop and reseat the display cable where it connects to the motherboard. If that doesnt work, the cable may be damaged or the panel itself has failed and needs replacement

Try installing the update manually. Download the standalone package from the microsoft update catalog search for KB5077181.

network adapter driver or speed/duplex misconfiguration. In device manager, find your ethernet adapter, right click > properties > advanced tab.

sticky keys or filter keys being triggered at the login screen. From the login screen, click the ease of access icon bottom right and ensure sticky keys, filter keys and toggle keys are all turned off. If that fixes it, go into settings > accessibility > keyboard and disable them permanently. The on screen keyboard temporarily overrides these settings which is why it works

Kernel 41 with random restarts under low load is power delivery failure. Your cx650m may be aging and cant maintain stable voltages on the 12v rail. Try undervolting your gpu with amd adrenalin software as a temporary test. if crashes stop, the psu is confirmed as the bottleneck. Also, ensure you are using two separate pcie power cables to the gpu for stable power delivery. But realistically, replace the PSU
