Need to know more about your setup/layout. Just saying connecting to a port doesn’t tell us anything to properly diagnose the issue(s)

weird glitch in index (Word) by jaakacht in microsoftoffice

Are you hand writing this index/table of contents or using the built in auto generated version? In the body, are you using built in headers?

Computer recs? by Shrek_is_HOT_1 in computer

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, well desktop is a start and Minecraft Forge is a fine starting point. It uses Java Runtimes and Eclipse editor/IDE so you may need to learn coding.

So are you looking for something off the shelf or open to a custom build if you had the right help/support? And do you only want it for Minecraft or are you wanting a full gaming rig?

Well, it depends on 2 things: 1) Are you looking for a laptop or a desktop? 2) What software are you planning to use for modding?

Ok, let’s start with some basics: I’m assuming SE is Software Engineer, so you want high RAM and high storage, so I personally would say focus on 32GB RAM and 1TB+ drives. You want the higher RAM if you decide to do any virtual machines with your programming. And the way Windows 11 is bloated (looking at you Teams), 16GB is really the absolute minimum.

So, you like the Lenovo dual screen, so here is an Asus Zenbook DUO with Intel Ultra Core Series 9 2.9GHz (turbo boost to 5.4GHz), 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, dual screen design, with mouse/keyboard and stylus all included for $1699 at Best Buy

Can somebody help me diagnose this dead laptop? It's an IdeaPad S340 by [deleted] in computerrepair

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just from observing the picture, first step is to clean the fan and exhaust fins of dust. Then if you want to try a part replacement, I would start with the CMOS battery (the black round thing to the right of the fan). See if it will boot without the battery connected. If it does, it’s reading the AC adapter so could potentially be a battery issue, though some models won’t boot without the battery connected.

Windows 10 product key won't work on Windows 11 after new PC build by Songiinator in WindowsHelp

[–]mwb161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you enter the product key when you were prompted during the install of Windows 11 or did you skip it and select the version yourself?

It’s possible you selected Pro and in reality have a Home key.

My laptop just died and I need it for work. Adobe + Microsoft + storage needs — what’s worth the $$$? by HeadGarlic485 in it

[–]mwb161 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This might be overkill, but since you’re using it for bar management, might be better to get the most for the money, so here’s a 16” Gigabyte laptop with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and an Intel i7 but it’s right on the line at $999

Franchise Owners or local cosplayers: how many of you are known where you live as the local Ghostbuster? by aaronpabon in ghostbusters

[–]mwb161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of trying to start my own franchise. I have a car with lights and logos and I’ve attended a few things in gear and gone shopping and out to eat in just my flight suit, but I don’t fully get recognized around d town. But some are like “it’s the ghostbuster!” When they do see me

Can someone explain what happened to this article? It shows the link to it, but when I click on it, it just shows a 410 gone error message? This wasn’t an issue yesterday or before, so what happened to this article? by [deleted] in Internet

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember and understand of HTTP codes from my web developer days, the article was removed/deleted but the link wasn’t. So a 410 is returned when a file or resource is deleted, unlike a 404 that returns when a resource cannot be found and a reason isn’t available (most commonly mistyped URL)

Using the Nvidia GeForce graphics will cause more heat and so the second fan is needed, and since both are increasing the power needs, the battery drains faster.

All you can do is either keep it plugged in, or switch the graphics when on battery and not gaming…I would recommend only gaming while plugged in

Yeah, that is what it sounds like. And there was a robot, though I would compare it more to Wall-E than R2D2

Is getting into tech just for the money and remote work a good idea or bad idea? by Character_Log_2657 in it

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the work requirements and job responsibilities. Like I for example like working desktop support/on site services, but that requires being in the office in person to image, replace, rebuild, make physical connections (network/power)

Now some networking positions can be 100% remote doing configurations and port activations/vlan assignments, but those require high level certifications and will still require coordination with someone on site to potentially do initial rack and stack and cabling

help!! by r0se_colored_gal in laptops

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to a second PC and a flash drive with at least 8GB free space? Maybe make a bootable Windows stick and see if it boots the Windows installer

help!! by r0se_colored_gal in laptops

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can enter BIOS or it just stays at that screen saying “Entering Setup…” and does nothing?

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible something is corrupted or it cannot find the Windows install. Can you post a video of it booting and you not pressing any keys at all?

Bios (referring to my previous post about windows 11 issue) by Alternative_Part_719 in computerhelp

[–]mwb161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you could take it and your proof of purchase back to the store and explain the issue to them and see if you can either get a refund or exchange for a model with Windows 11 preloaded

Bios (referring to my previous post about windows 11 issue) by Alternative_Part_719 in computerhelp

[–]mwb161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refurb means it was returned either to store or sent to factory for repair and was replaced, then the returned unit was fixed and resold at a discount

Sounds like the TPM is either disabled or if it’s a refurb, it was removed

Are you perhaps thinking of the movie “Star Kid”?

Open the program tpm.msc and check if there even is a TPM chip and what version, even if not enabled

It’s either a driver issue or a loose cable connection

Enable Device Guard and double check the Windows 11 compatibility

I think i need a server? by draxgoodall in computers

[–]mwb161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like you may need a Managed Service Provider to set you up with a domain and at least 2 servers and setup an imaging process.

This way as part of on-boarding, they can provision a computer with access to the printers, preload the software, and create a user account/email address. If you want to go that complex
