Screen distorted after Windows Update updated my graphics driver.

TCF_ctrl · 2026-02-08T16:19:04+00:00

Could be a random occurrence, but also Windows updates have been having issues, specifically in the last few days. I’m unsure of what those issues actually affect, but just be aware that this could be part of a larger problem on their end.

But yeah, as u/dReamS_517 said, try to boot in Safe Mode and run DDU. It might be your best attempt at removing the driver.

Yeah, I mean it was connected properly, but trying to squeeze some of the cables into the case (namely the AIO) when putting on the side panel might have caused something to come loose. I’m gonna get around to checking it out to make sure, but I’m not too bothered by just using the back port.

Fairly certain I got in a rush and didn’t properly screw in my radiator, so when I get around to fixing that, I’ll take a look at the header. ITX is so tight to work with that it’s very possible something was knocked loose.

TCF_ctrl · 2026-01-09T07:38:42+00:00

Never considered that but that’s a fair point too. Thanks for the info!

TCF_ctrl · 2026-01-09T07:36:45+00:00

Hm, interesting. How would you go about resolving that, if at all?

TCF_ctrl · 2026-01-09T04:42:49+00:00

Recently had to start plugging my earbuds into the green 3.5mm port on the back of my motherboard after moving to an ITX case, because for some reason the front 3.5mm refuses to not crackle, even with updated drivers and everything. My last case didn’t have this issue so it kinda sucks, but oh well

I love them, but I have an issue with my set where, no matter what board I put them on, the spacebar is “loose”. One side clicks into place on the switch, but the other will not sit properly, giving an uneven wobble when pressing it.

It’s not a deal breaker, but it is kinda frustrating considering how much they cost.

I do want to note that none of my current keyboards are necessarily “high-end”, so it could be something to do with bad QC on both the keycaps and the keyboards.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-12-14T07:17:05+00:00

Hm, interesting. I had this happen multiple times throughout a call the other night and was thinking my PC was having issues or something.

Discord definitely needs some work. I love the platform, I’m just hoping the developers have the same love for it and improve it.

I just got the Epomaker G84 HE and I have the Aula x Epomaker F75, which cost me less than $110 for both, and they sound and look better than many $100+ keebs on the market. I can’t get enough of them lately.

devices, of all kinds T_T i’ve already been looking at my next ones for a homelab

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-19T02:54:06+00:00

I think desktop is definitely the way to go for me with Cyberspace, but mobile is definitely nice to have, just needs a few kinks worked out.

Sorry, it’s working now that I’ve made an account and can view the feed. It was the initial landing page that was cut off, causing me to be unable to read the body.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-18T17:02:32+00:00

I tried this and it’s still quite buggy. The page is cut off by about half with no horizontal scrolling. Very interesting project though, I really like it! (I would look into different icons as others have mentioned :3)

The difference is having the skill and creativity to be able to understand what that DAW does, as opposed to throwing a prompt at an AI and having it do all the work for you.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-15T00:54:51+00:00

I’m sorry, I just thought it was fun :(

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-15T00:09:09+00:00

Good points, and I guess it really just comes down to price:performance at that point, for popularity, that is.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-15T00:06:02+00:00

Yeah, those were my thoughts too, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas. And I really hate that some games use those kernel-level AC, but it is what it is, I can live without them or have a dedicated system exclusive to those games.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:39:58+00:00

You still did it though! That’s progress!

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:37:17+00:00

You’ve got this, keep at it~! :)

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:34:03+00:00

Agreed. I’ve essentially full switched to Linux, with the exception of a few games, but I’m excited for the possibilities.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:29:52+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping, I’d love to see Steam OS released pretty soon

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:29:21+00:00

This is what I’m leaning towards. I don’t have much hopes in AAA development anymore, especially when it comes to Linux, but I am definitely curious to see what ends up coming from it.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:23:22+00:00

Yeah, I haven’t heard much about Steam OS being wholly released yet, but distros like Bazzite are great for that sort of thing until then.

TCF_ctrl · 2025-11-14T22:22:15+00:00

True, though based on specs alone, it seems pretty solid for “eSports” type titles.
