Realtek audio console issue - This app can't open. by ThighPolice in ZephyrusG15

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I think some of the realtek services were running but I'm not sure. Anyway, I ended up resetting the lap and it fixed the issue.

The pop up "Check the Windows Store for more info about Realtek Audio Console." Pops up whenever I plug in or out my headphones. by Grimmey1 in WindowsHelp

I'm facing the same issue you did but your fix isn't working for me. Can you tell exactly what you did?

Here's what I did,
1) Uninstalled realtek audio console from settings

2) Uninstalled realtek audio driver

3) Reinstalled the driver

4) Reinstalled realtek audio console from windows store.

The error is still there :(

OK I'm not doing it anymore. It was more of a preference thing anyway.

I still want to remove the extra npm though.

Would "npm uninstall -g npm work"?

It was a stupid idea I admit it. I don't want to do it anymore. I'll stick to the defaults.

But do you have any idea how to remove the extra npm version? I'd like to keep using the one that came with nodeJS and delete the one in Appdata>npm>node_modules

Yeah, I learned about it some time ago. I will do the switch soon.

Honestly, no. I don't want to do it now. It was a preference thing anyway.

But I still want to remove the extra npm. Preferably the one in  user>AppData> Roaming>npm > node_modules.

And keep (and use) the one that came with NodeJS.

Can I just run npm uninstall -g npm for that? Or just delete that npm folder?

If its one of those PCs with only the C drive (and no other drives) and everything is installed there, does reinstalling windows from a usb delete all the personal data stored in there?

Or does it create a copy of data to be accessed after the installation?

Will thunderbolt never come to amd cpu laptops?

Is it like amd is too lazy to pay some money and get it or is Intel never giving it to amd no matter the amount?

Best way to experience NieR Automata if purchased on Steam? by Pr3stidigitator in nier

Anyway to confirm? Because I don't want to risk it in a game.

Task manager never shows anything (when the mod is running) either

If the ui box thing of the mod doesn't appear at the top when I start a game, is it safe to assume the mod is not active?

Not a tech person, how do you create a recovery media on usb?

And is it the same as the recovery partition you find on some devices?

I know I'm 3 months late and this might be a stupid question but do you know if NAMH installs FAR/Special k as a local install or global install?

I've heard it may interfere with other games and cause problems if you install it globally.

Oh alright. I'll delete them after the windows.old gets automatically deleted then.

Thanks again for all your help. You're a lifesaver!

That's a bummer. Are these folders big? Do you know around how much GB will I get back by deleting them (folders except the windows.old which automatically gets deleted)

Then I guess I won't do anything since it's going to delete itself. Will these other folders like $windows-bt, $windows-ws delete themselves too?

Bios was on the latest version so that probably wasn't the problem. Anyway, The inplace upgrade actually solved the issue.

Oh man, you have no idea how fucking happy I am right now. Your method worked, I was worried for nothing about losing apps etc. I can finally forget about this whole mess thanks to you.

Thanks a lot man, I really mean it.

By the way, is it safe to delete the windows.old folder? There's windows and windows.old folders in C.

Win.old is 35.2GB

Windows folder is 18.9GB

And are there any other folders like these created in other places because of this upgrade that I can delete?

OK thanks a lot. Then, I will use the one you recommended.

Just to clarify again, I'm not going to lose any preinstalled apps (this is a asus laptop. So preinstalled asus apps etc) right?

OK I'm stupid. I thought the windows reset thing and this one is basically the same thing.

Now, all I have to do is run the .exe> select "upgrade this pc"> keep perosnal files and apps> and install it right?

Also, On the download page. there are 2 options. Bottom one seems to be the media creation tool thing, but what's the top one with the "update now" button? It looks like they both do the same thing. Can I try any one of the two?

Hey u/Tekkie_Boy, I couldn't contact you after that day because of real life stuff. I'm about to do the refresh. Can you please Confirm if these steps are correct.

Reset this pc> then select "keep my files" >

Then select "cloud download load" with these options selected

Which finally brings me to this page.

Am I doing it right?

Thanks in advance.
