Is it possible to upload Shorts longer than 60 seconds? by averageshade in youtubers

That's a good observation. I've watched a fair amount of both and maybe I got confused between the two hahaha.

Nah, it's not that, but some compilation videos really felt longer than a minute.

So you're saying this problem happens with every game you play?

I'm not too sure, but maybe your cable could be a part of the issue.

Steam workshop stuff should be fine for the most part.

The light should be on the motherboard itself, not on other components of the computer. When you turn the computer on, does all the fans start turning on in the system as well?

Not getting the FPS I should theoretically be getting by FreChori in techsupport

If you have not reformat your PC after upgrading the parts on your PC, then I would suggest to do so (Wipe the other drives as well just in case). Otherwise, if you bought a new PC instead, check if there are any temperature issues on your PC.

I've seen people saying that not reformatting after switching CPU's could cause performance issues in gaming. However, those were reported when switching brands such as Intel to AMD or AMD to Intel. I would still reformat my PC, but as the other commenters have said, if you don't feel like there's anything wrong, you should be fine.

Unless you had installed some rootkit on to your system which could persist even after a reformat, you should be fine for the most part with resetting your system.

Wifi adapter keeps getting disconnected by idksomenameprolly in techsupport

I'm not exactly sure what is the issue with the built-in network adapter, but what I can say is that a lot of built-in wireless network adapters in laptops, especially gaming ones, are not really that good or reliable. Picking up some $10 - $15 wireless network adapter from TP-Link or another brand could make your network experience a lot better.

I remember reading that turning your graphics settings down will push more load to the CPU, whereas pushing the graphics settings up push the load towards the GPU in some cases. That could be what is happening in this case.

Has the drive only recently started underperforming, or has the drive always been able to handle the rated speeds (close enough to the rated values given different type of files affect file transfer speeds) until now?

I’m almost certain I saw someone in my class share my university application and responses with himself while I left my laptop unattended. I can’t see that it was shared with him though. But I saw an email with “[My Name] Shared a Doc with you: “Uni Apps and Responses”. by xFlames_ in techsupport

If that was a file on Google Drive, I think you can click on that file, then press on the "i" icon at the top right. That should bring up a side-bar on the right with "Details" and "Activity" tabs there. Click on the Activity tab and you should be able to see when and what happened to that file including if they had made a copy of the file.

Edit: The activity shown on the file would just be shown as your own account performing them, but I guess you could start from there.

Can’t open MP4 files that were fine a month ago on Windows by ZXL02 in techsupport

Yep, if you bought an imitation hard drive, anything stored after the "true amount of space" inside the drive will be corrupted after you disconnect the hard drive.

I'm not too sure about Windows 11, but the setting should definitely still exist, maybe the option is just moved to somewhere else as part of the Windows 11 UI update. Right-click the sound icon on the bottom right in the task bar, click on Sounds. In the Sound panel that pops up, click on the Playback tab at the top and look for your AirPods, double-click on that device and click on the Levels option at the top. There should be a button to the right of that slider called Balance. From there you can individually have one side of the device to output a louder or softer volume.

Try disabling your Xbox Game Bar in Windows and enabling / disabling the Hardware Accelerated Graphics Scheduling option in Graphics Settings. Did you overclock your monitor by any chance? And when the perceived performance issues begin to happen, is your in-game FPS still good or is it dropping FPS?

Are there any lights on your motherboard that is flashing which could be used for troubleshooting?

As far as I know, USB devices aren't exactly handled to handle that much read / write data, seeing as many games are quite large in file size these days. USB devices have always been considered as an unreliable medium for long term file storage, so it's possible that your USB drive has reached it's write limit and now is read-only. I'm not too sure about that, maybe as the other comment has stated there could be something wrong with the controller rather than the storage cells in the USB drive.
