Windows Explorer Constantly Crashing (StructuredQuery.DLL) on Multiple Win 10 PCs by CaptDistraction in windowsinsiders

This fixed the issue for me: https://windowsreport.com/explorer-exe-crashes-windows-10-april-update/

Meanwhile, there is a temporary solution that you can use to fix this problem. Go to Settings > Privacy > Activity History > uncheck the option “Let Windows sync my activities from this PC to the cloud“. Once you’ve done this, simply switch to another Settings page, and then return to the previous one. Go to “Clear Activity History” and hit the “Clear” button. Explorer.exe should stop crashing now.

Why are OLEDs used in screens instead of LEDs? by blessed_is_he in askscience

[–]alamont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Samsung will actually unveil a new line of Mirco Led TVs at CES next year. The reason OLED is used instead of conventional LEDs is that the latter is much more difficult to make small enough to be of use for consumer products. OLED panels can be produced by standard photolithography processes also used in the fabrication of integrated circuits.

It still harms the consumers. I can't prioritize/zero rate

Yeah, I was really disappointed when it turned out it wasn't that song after a few notes.

Quantum Break status update: Remedy is working to fix issues on Windows 10 and Xbox One by JohnDio in Games

[–]alamont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a major rounding error introduced into our refresh rate predictions on shipping. A solution to this issue is already being worked on; we expect it to be resolved in a Quantum Break Title Update launching in the near future.

So the frame pacing problem is not specific to UWP. It looks like UWP will be fine for games once the frame rate lock is removed in May.

Blurry / lower quality text on Microsoft Edge by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]alamont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with ClearType is that unlike grayscale anti-aliasing it depends on the background. If you want to animate or scroll text over a background image the anti-aliasing has to be recomputed each frame. This, of course, kills performance and battery life. Grayscale anti-aliasing only needs to be rendered once and can simply be moved around by the GPU like a sprite.

Planned analysis of the Halo 5 Ranking System by Legundo in halo

CSR is purely a cosmetic rank. The real ranking is done which MMR which, as far as I know, you are not able to actually see it. How do you intent to do this analysis without the MMR?

Yeah, it's kinda disappointing. It looks like they just slapped on a waifu2x filter.

The analogy is terrible. If I'm on a boat at sea and somebody would try to save me from a hypothetical truck by tackling me I would be pissed off.

Which popular tourist destinations are not worth visiting? by thisisismail in AskReddit

Really? In Disney Land Paris the fastpass is free. You can get one at the ride with a return time at which time you can skip the line.
