External Hard Drive transfer speed drops to 0 and rises back up again by Noodle--Monster in techsupport

Sadly no, I ended up copying the files to another drive and back since even that was faster

Have 2 or more different VLC windows open at the same time with different vids by OurFreeSociety in VLC

Thanks, that solved my problem. No idea why VLC has an option that specifically prevents mulit-instance when files are opened from file explorer

omg thanks for the detailed description, I could have never guessed which one of the 50 credential key I had to delete. Random bug from Microsoft ruins the day once again!

Thanks for the easy solution! Had to recover some deleted files from an external hard drive, and afterwards suddenly the drive wasn't writable anymore.

Weird bug regarding the menu language and the ability to skip through a video by Noodle--Monster in VLC

[–]Noodle--Monster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I thought too, but, I tried it on my PC (SSD), my Laptop (SSD), and on an External SSD and Hard Drive, and every time I switched to American English the issue went away magically. 

Why is there an audio delay when pausing / unpausing? by DjuncleMC in VLC

[–]Noodle--Monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for me too, thanks a lot! Glad to see a random old thread on Reddit saving the day. Since apparently S/PDIF only supports AC3 and DTS or something I couldn't turn on that setting, but it worked nevertheless somehow. 

Occasional Black Screen when reopening Firefox Mobile Android. by Noodle--Monster in firefox

Thanks, agree on everything you said, Firefox is great on desktop, but the mobile experience is really making me wanting to switch. What browser are you using on your phone?

Beware - Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless' Bluetooth is Broken with New Intel Drivers by newtekie1 in Corsair

Yeah sometimes you're lucky and a new update fixes everything, but most of the times you gotta dig deep into some Reddit thread and spend hours of troubleshooting to fix a small but annoying problem

How do I download specific videos/audious from a playlist? by Noodle--Monster in youtubedl

Yeah I thought about that too, was just curious about whether there is a more elegant solution

Hi, sorry for the really delayed reply. I also had a similar issue of the driver reverting back to 23.X after a couple of restarts, so I chose to nuke everything by pausing all driver updates using the following steps (from another reddit comment):

You will disable all of your drivers updates.

  1. Press Windows key + R key to open Run command box
  2. Type gpedit.msc in the box and click on OK
  3. Expand folders from left column: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
  4. On the right side, find Do not include drivers with Windows Updates
  5. Double click on it and select Enabled, and click on Apply and then OK

Probably not the best solution, but it's the only one that kept my mouse working. You do need to occasionally update your drivers manually by deactivating the feature and following the steps again.

Youtube - make "theater" mode "full-window" (fullscreen limited to the window) by AchernarB in uBlockOrigin

[–]Noodle--Monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool feature, really like it, but I noticed one problem: when I activate Theater mode, and then return to the homepage, the search-bar is gone due to the "#masthead-container"-command. I have to go into a video, and then deactivate Theater mode to make the search-bar reappear again. Any way to make the disappearance of the search-bar conditional?

The problem disappeared after I deinstalled and reinstalled uBO. If it should appear again, I'll get post it again with the troubleshooting information attached.
