OPTIMIZATION OF PRE-INSTALLATION PARTITIONS OF WINDOWS 10 x64 HOME EDITION (Part 1) 1st of all let me apologize for not RTFM (I assume none exists for what I am about to ask) or going through your FAQ before asking the following questions: CIRCUMSTANCES: I am working with limited resources (MSI AM1i motherboard, AMD APU 3850, 16 GBs of DDR3 1600MHz RAM, no graphics card, Toshiba DT01ACA050 HDD 465,64 GBs formatted), and therefore I would like to "squeeze" as much performance as possible out of the current setup. I am forced to move from the current Toshiba DT01ACA050 (which is now full) to a Seagate ST2000DM008 HDD which should allow me to enjoy (hopefully) less waiting during file read/writes of the file system. Given that this (ST2000DM008, 1862,89 GBs) is a modern drive purchased somewhere over the last 6-7 years, I am assuming it is of Advanced Format, 4Kn format. INDICATED VALUES ON TH

I tried to install Linux on a secondary disk in my PC and after a failed Linux grub installation my PC didn't boot in Windows 11. I use a bootable USB flash drive and I in Windows repair mode and I run the below command in cmd: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Always shows me the error 87 at the attached picture. I run also the sfc /scannow command and chkdsk but the problem not solved. Any ideas?

On Win10x64 I deleted the partition on an external usb stick, which was confirmed by Diskpart. However, Veracrypt's device list still shows the deleted partition, which means I can't encrypt the disk. Why does Veracrypt show phantom partitions? Further, VC shows the partition as having null size. EDIT - This gets stranger, I also just tried a sd card, but same thing. I've uploaded 2 images showing the disconnect between VC and DM. I also tried diskpart clean, but nothing seems to fix it. I reckon it's a bug, or whatever they're called nowadays.

I have gone a bit crazy when checking and validating a document produced by my team due to a lot of typograhic eroors and have therefore gone on a long quest to change the document and improve what can be improved. Among other things I have started a rigorous stylesheet. I have tried to do so for some short highlighted extracts. To mimic the starting points, it is using frames. I thought I had an easy win when I managed to get that But then later I encountered my new current nemesis : lists So I understand the way framing works by default is to have a defined spacing relative to the text which is the problem. So is there A way to better define framing to prevent that from happening ? An alternate command to framing to get the same

I'm on modern vCenter 8. I've found answers for older versions of vCenter or vSphere but not for 8. We have hundreds of VM's. Some have snapshots. I can look at an individual VM, right-click, and Manage Snapshots. How can I see or export a list of all VMs that have Snapshots, from vCenter 8?

I was successfully using this command on other SDR videos. It caps the vertical resolution at 1080p but maintains the original aspect ratio and uses settings recommended by Godot devs: ffmpeg -hide_banner -i %movie%.mp4 -vf "scale=-1:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -q:v 6 -q:a 6 -g:v 64 %movie%.ogv I added newlines before each option to make it easier to read, but I'm running this all on one line. The resulting colours are very washed out, so I'm hoping I can use some kind of automatic tonemapping to produce a better result (it's an outdoor forest scene with a person wearing an orange shirt). I found this example to convert HD

Just today in one laptop with Windows 10 Home installed I started the machine as usual but for a first time in its all life it loads the BIOS directly instead. Therefore is not possible boot Windows 10. What to do? I am assuming it is about EOL but is possible load the OS in peace? Of course no updates are expected anymore

I know this is a fool's errand, and probably a bad idea, but just curious. Suppose I have a time tracking spreadsheet. When I open the spreadsheet, I put the time I started up Windows in a certain cell as my start time. If I forget to open my spreadsheet when I "clock in", I open a command prompt window and invoke the query user command: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26100.6584] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\mstewart>query user USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME >mstewart console 3 Active 12:33 10/17/2025 10:06 C:\Users\mstewart> I then copy the LOGON TIME time of day portion into my spreadsheet. Is it possible to automate that via VBA? I checked this other Super User question and this one as well

I plugged in a USB flash drive with old pictures on it and loaded up an old picture that was a JPEG file. The picture immediately started becoming red and grainy. As I tried a couple more pictures and got the same result, I wanted to eject the drive. The tab wouldn't load anymore, and a couple of minutes later the whole PC crashed. When I rebooted, the screen was flickering red until it repaired itself. Is there a way to safely use this USB flash drive? Edit for clarification: I've been using other flash drives on the PC with no problem. I viewed other pictures and videos with no problem. After the reboot there were some small red pixels in specific spots that appeared when I played videos that were downloaded onto the PC.
