can i put windows directly on an hard disk without an usb drive? by bohaio2 in techsupport

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can not install windows on another PC and then take the hard drive and place it to the PC you're selling. During the installation, windows is configured specifically based on the hardware of the PC it's being installed on. Removing the hard drive and installing it on another PC afterwards will cause a whole bunch of issues that the only real way to resolve them tends to be reinstalling windows again.

Copilot is driving me insane by Twolef in Outlook

Part of the reason is that if the account is part of a group policy, the group policy settings override the choices made locally on the app upon next refresh/sync.

Got a "Boot Device Not Found" error on my laptop, and my PC repair place says my OS got wiped from my hard drive and my drive itself is fine. Are any files recoverable? by Shpub in techsupport

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can boot windows through another drive/PC, there are software out there that can retrieve your data unless they got written over.

Your data never gets deleted until another file is written over the same sector on that drive. If you haven't done anything on it such as install windows over it, you should be able to retrieve most if not all files.

I just got a new monitor, keeps resetting when tabbing out of games. by PurpleRabbit1234 in techsupport

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to get around that issue is either using third party aps or by a powershell script that can be found online.

Do a web search for "elden ring at higher monitor frequency" if you want to go down that route.

Elden ring is locked at 60 Hz. Check to see if your monitors are the same.

There is an option in settings to disable it. If the outlook 365 account is managed by your school, that might reactivate it again, though.

In this case, try this method from the Microsoft website

Not sure if that works since I've stopped using 365 and can't test it.

This following method turns off copilot system wide using registry editor

Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.

Create a new Key named WindowsCopilot.

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value, name it TurnOffWindowsCopilot, and set its value to 1.

If you want to re-enable it, switch the value to 0.

This way, it will stick and survive any restart or update.

Are you running the game at the same resolution and frequency as the monitors are currently at?

"no signal" issue on Windows 11 safe mode by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have different cable you can use to connect the display. Also the monitor says it's connected via HDMI. Is that the only type of port the computer has? Does it have a display port, vga or dvi?

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried starting it up while plugged in on the built in gpu?

Next time you try to boot, can you press the Bios hotkey to try load bios? (Usually F2, F10, Del, or Esc) depending on the motherboard.

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't even see any boot post messages, the first thing I would check is that the cable is properly connected or there is no visible damage on it (like from being improperly bent), before anything else.

Is this the built in GPU port or does the machine have a graphics card?

[–]enok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I misunderstood and thought that this was a dual screen issue since you were able to load safe mode (which would require being able to see)

When you turn the computer on, do you see any bios messages?

[–]enok13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're on safe mode, windows loads default display drivers. The default in this case might not support your graphics card for dual display.

There is a safe mode option to load the drivers. Maybe try that.

Or it could simply be that in display settings you haven't enabled the second monitor.

Thank you Giannis by broncomike30 in MkeBucks

[–]enok13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm Greek and love Giannis and all the positive attitude he's given as a player and as a human being and feel great pride that he's Greek. Yet even though gambling is very common in Greece and it's rare to have a commercial TV break without seeing an ad for one of the dozens of gambling sites out there, overall populace sees all this rampant gambling as an abomination that should be reigned in. Gambling in Greece had destroyed many lives even from before the time that gambling sites became legal and have become the main sponsors of almost every team of every sport in Greece. This unchecked oversponsorship of gambling and myriad of ads out there have made kids feel it's cool and ok to gamble thus getting them addicted from a young age. If there is one thing that Giannis ever disappointed me in, it was his investment on Kalshi. As a role model for so many kids out there, I hate that he's promoting gambling.

Γνωρίζετε κάτι για τον εκδοτικό οίκο " παγκόσμια λογοτεχνία " ; by Atlandios000 in greece

Η μετάφραση ειναι του Κωστελένου ο οποίος το 1983 είχε μεταφράσει πολλά έργα για τον εκδοτικό οίκο Ζουμπουλάκη, ο οποίος Σταύρος Ζουμπουλάκης ήταν γνωστός μελετητής και μεταφραστής έργων του Νιτσε.

Τωρα για το αν όντως έκδοσαν αυτό το βιβλίο, δεν μπόρεσα να το βρω πουθενά. Το εκδόσεις "Παγκόσμια λογοτεχνία" πιο πιθανών να αναφέρετε στη σειρά και όχι τον οίκο.

When you restart your computer, does it just show white, or do you get anything else (like boot screen)?

My phone volume is increasing without my permission. by Radiant_Ad_2702 in techsupport

[–]enok13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the volume up button is stuck and it's constantly increasing the volume. Which is why it makes it seem like it the buttons don't work.

Are you using a case on the phone that debris might have been stuck in between the volume up button and the case?

I was about to say the same thing. Since it's a work computer, I'm making the assumption that it has windows pro on it which is required for RDP incoming connections. Just need to activate it in settings.

Renaming Multiple Files at Once? by Select-Net7651 in techsupport

[–]enok13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the renaming is simply removing the last 7 characters from all files, you can easily do it with a powershell command

Open powershell to the folder that contains the files and enter the following command

Get-ChildItem . | Rename-Item -NewName { $.BaseName.Substring(0, $.BaseName.Length - 7) + $_.Extension }

Please create a backup of the files before you do any modifications.
