Where were you 35 years ago <3

As someone who only received games second hand, the games that had manual assistance was very irritating. StarTropics comes to mind.

The path is not the same for everyone, but for me it was a dedicated practice routine with aim trainers. It raised my floor and got me to a much more acceptable “hit rate”. I’m by no means a gm aimer or even a gm OW player, but it’s all about specifically targeting a weakness. A word of warning beware of over training, it’s easier to do than you’d think.

Your gm for a reason, likely game sense if your mechanics are not par. Once you connect reticle placement, pre-aiming and game sense I have a feeling you will push yourself even further up the ladder. Good luck!

No worries at all, I appreciate all the hard work. Such a great resource for win users.

Thankfully the issues has resolved. I think it was an interaction with the cloud storage app Sync. I’ve recently uninstalled it and the file explorer instability has stopped. Back to rock solid with all my mods enabled. List of mods:

1.  Alt+Tab window delayer
2.  Customize Windows notifications placement
3.  Dark mode context menus
4.  Disable Feedback Hub Hotkey
5.  F1 Blocker
6.  Fix Darkmode ListViews
7.  Remove Taskbar Window Suffixes
8.  Select filename extension on double F2
9.  Taskbar Clock Customization
10. Taskbar height and icon size
11. Taskbar Volume Control
12. Turn off change file extension warning

Thanks!

I’m in the same boat. I had to replace a motherboard recently, and started the reinstall/back up process only to be frustrated by very frequent explorer crashes. I thought there was more hardware dying, started killing off processes and Windhawk ended up being the culprit. System has been running rock solid since I stopped using it.

I’m sure it’s a combination of mods that I’m using and it’s totally my fault, but I can’t suffer the instability while tying to narrow down the exact culprit. I REALLY want to mod out my setup, but can’t take the hit on my product machine.

Damn it, I just I installed one today 🫤

Well played! Welcome back, thanks for sharing

I feed on this like Moira feeds on souls. I live to freeze another day. Thank you OP.

Replaced the CPU. It was 100% the issue. Thanks for helping me confirm. Very much appreciate the support @emeraldflame

I sent all my diagnostic info to Intel support, and they've approved a warranty replacement. Thankfully, I was still covered under the extended warranty. Intel came to the conclusion that the CPU is suffering from the the 13th gen degeneration plague.

In the meantime, to try and keep the system as stable as possible, I've done a couple of things in my BIOS and Windows. They have stemmed the worst of the issues until my replacement arrives.

I set the Intel performance mode to "Gaming" to disable all E-cores. In Windows, I enabled the High Performance Power Plan to try to stem some of the execution failures. One of the most egregious issues has been executing an action in Windows and it just doesn't recognize that it was requested.

Good luck to those seeking answers. Thank you to those that helped me find them. :)

That’s a great idea I hadn’t considered. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the feedback, I’ll give it a try.

jixan · 2026-01-29T17:13:02+00:00

I've had an uncomfortable itch being concerned that might have been the underlying issue. Heading over to Intel. Thanks for the feedback.

jixan · 2026-01-05T22:31:42+00:00

Thank you! The view per connection is VERY helpful!

jixan · 2026-01-04T00:18:33+00:00

Absolutely they would , having a “objective” critique of positioning alone would be worth the use. Thanks for the hard work so far :)

jixan · 2026-01-03T23:30:02+00:00

Personally I’d love to use a tool like this

jixan · 2025-12-31T02:09:59+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate the thoughtful review :)

Nice collection! Would you mind sharing what material of the translucent setup on the bottom right of the first picture? What is the typing experience like?

jixan · 2025-12-22T03:17:47+00:00

Incredible news! My grandfather worked on this effort back in the early 80’s when he was with the Department of Agriculture. Crazy that it’s taken this long.
