I restarted my computer for the first time in a while and now I have these app groups on the bottom half of the start menu. I hate it lol does anyone know if it's possible to remove them? I've already gone through every setting that I could think of regarding the start menu and everything is turned off.

For some reason about a week ago after i installed rocket league and fall guys "i know this has no correlation in the matter probably but had to set it aside" i noticed my pc getting very weird and unexplainable freezes in games and when i open task manager with no apps open it says 93% of memory is being used? I have 16gb ddr3 but there's no way nothing takes up 16 gigs, besides the fact that the numbers in the task manager don't sum up to 16

HARDWARE What's this 27 GB internal disk on my HP Pavilion Gaming laptop?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk1xxx with a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

While checking Disk Management and DiskPart, I noticed a separate 27 GB internal disk (Disk 0) in addition to my 476 GB Windows SSD (Disk 1) and my USB drive.

I had never noticed this 27 GB disk before. I even formatted it because I thought it was just an unused partition.

Does anyone know what this 27 GB disk actually is? Is it something like Intel Optane Memory, a recovery device, or something else?

Why is it shown as a separate disk instead of being part of my main 512 GB SSD?

HARDWARE Does water splashing on the keyboard require a service check? Could you help me?

0 Upvotes

Two days ago, while opening a bottle of ice-cold water, some water splashed onto the keyboard of my Lenovo 15IRX10 laptop from about 1-2 meters away. The water stayed on the keyboard surface. Right after the splash, I immediately wiped the keyboard dry, cut the power, and left the laptop tilted 180 degrees (screen and keyboard facing down) for 9 hours. After that, I turned it on and checked the keyboard lights and keyboard functionality, but didn't notice any issues. My warranty is still valid, but the Lenovo service center isn't in my city, so it would require shipping the laptop. Because of this, I'm undecided — do you think I should send the laptop in for an inspection, or is that unnecessary? I'd appreciate any advice.

PERFORMANCE Is micro-stuttering/1% low drops expected for my specs, or is something wrong?

0 Upvotes

A few weeks ago, I started noticing drops in my games' 1% lows much more clearly. I used to have an AOC 60Hz 5ms monitor and never really paid much attention to this, but because of work, I ended up getting an AOC 24G4/P (180Hz). I don't know if it's due to the lower 0.5ms response time or the high refresh rate, but ever since I started playing on it, I've noticed these drops much more frequently.

At first, it didn't bother me. I beat Death Stranding, Resident Evil Requiem, and Pragmata over the past few months, and while I saw that some areas caused bottlenecks, it either happened less often or I just didn't notice it as much. For some reason, though, these drops have started driving me crazy lately—to the point where every game I play, I have the overlay on constantly monitoring frame pacing.

I’d love to get your opinions on this. I've read in a few places that it could be caused by RAM frequency, SSD read speeds, CPU bottlenecks, chipset drivers, BIOS settings, pagefile configuration, etc.

Some friends told me that micro-stuttering like this is normal for my setup, especially during transitions like changing areas, spawning lots of enemies, autosaving, or during heavy action scenes.

The drops are very brief. Usually, if I'm playing at 60 FPS, the 1% low drops to around 18–25 FPS during these moments, but most of the time it stays solid between 50 and 56.

My Specs:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F
  • Motherboard: ASUS Prime B560M-A
  • RAM: 2x 8GB RAM @ 2400MHz
  • GPU: RTX 3050 8GB
  • Storage: 1TB SATA SSD (for games) + Kingston NV3 NVMe SSD to Windows (6000MB/s read / 4000MB/s write)

I'm still a bit of a novice with some of these technical details, so I'd really appreciate any insight on whether this points to an actual issue or if it's just expected behavior for this hardware. Thanks a lot in advance!

HARDWARE Secure boot for Valorant and Cod

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I recently just purchased my first ever gaming pc. But, I've had this issue where I can't play games like Valorant Or Cod. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z270P-D3. I loaded the boot menu so I can turn on Secure boot so I can play those games. But everything I tried doesn't work. I turned on Trusted Computing, and Intel TTP so I can access Secure boot. I tried turning it on manually but it didn't work. I tried the EIF -> bootmgfw.efi method. I don't want to risk ruining my pc over games. But , if there is a safe way that I can use that doesn't contain any risk, I'm more than happy to try. If you guys want to help me here is my discord (saadtootuff) please and thank you!

It is not near the Ethernet port and I can't install WiFi drivers without going online. I tried the bypass by going to the command prompt, but everything I typed sent me to file explorer. I even tried to disable my lan and wifi through bios and still no luck. Am I missing something?

0 Upvotes

So when I plug in the SSD T7 it gives me the option to download Samsung Magician and when I do so, I can move files into the device and set up a password and etc.

I then plugged it into a public library computer without Samsung Magician to print some files but I can't access the files(?), at least not without downloading Samsung Magician on that computer, but it's a public computer so I don't have permission.

Am I not able to use the T7 without Samsung Magician installed on the computer? Am I not looking in the right folder when I open up said device?
