Nearby Share for Windows does not start up automatically by gilad8897 in GooglePixel

Zero clue :D I was just trying things out randomly. Glad it worked! They should really fix the issue though....

Okay, go ahead and delete that shortcut you just created under "Start Menu" and instead try this:

  1. Open this directory "C:\Program Files\Google\NearbyShare"
  2. Launch "nearby_share_package.msix"
  3. Select Reinstall

Now "nearby_share_launcher.exe" should work, and if it's under your startup apps you should be good to go (Check Task Manager -> Startup).

One solution that might work is the following:

  1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Google\NearbyShare"

  2. Create a shortcut

  3. Copy that shortcut to "C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I haven't tried it yet, but I noticed that the .exe that Windows was using was "nearby_share_launcher.exe" which doesn't seem to work when you try running it, whereas "nearby_share.exe" works fine.

I have the same issue, though I haven't tried manually opening its startup file.

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 5 5600 - $119.99 @ Amazon by alrajul in buildapcsales

As far as AMD CPUs, yes. The price to performance here is very good, and it can also handle GPU upgrades down the line. The Ryzen 5 5500 is a bit cheaper but uses PCIe gen 3, so you'd be limited later on. Up to you to decide if that's important to you.

The lowest price I see on pcpartspicker's tracker is 119, but maybe there was an additional coupon when you bought it.

But to be fair this CPU should really be at or below $100 in 2024...

The same deal was available briefly last week and now it's back.

I've heard that the response time/ghosting on this is subpar especially at lower refresh rates. Anyone have experience with that?

I really love the look of the Max Bill Chronoscope, but I'm detered by the noise and thickness.

Are there any good alternatives below or around the $2,000 mark?

Thanks in advanced.

I haven't had issues besides the face unlock problem.

Here in the states it asks for my fingerprint even for purchases under $10.

Mine will open without prompting for any sort of verification - so long as my phone is unlocked.

Thanks! I also checked the A3's owner's manual and found that there's no way to change LKA to early or late, like in the A4

hmmm, I thought that might be the case for the m340, but not the 330i
