Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

NVIDIA GTX 1060 Graphics needs 400 Watt or greater power supply. Go for a 600W one.
Thank you. I found the exact same one (450w) on ebay and ordered it, as a novice I figured it'll be easier.

I couldn't find a thread dedicated to servers and I didn't want to start a new one.

I'm trying to demote a server 2012 r2 and I keep getting an error: DFS replication access is denied. It's not a permissions issue since I'm doing this from the admin account. I do know that AD is messed on this machine which is why I want to demote and re-promote but I can't get it to demote successfully and after spending hours on this I really have no idea what to do. Checking off the force removal does not help either.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Is the account part of Schema admin?

im not sure what happened but when i open a new tab it opens a yahoo tab instead of a google one. this is probably a dumb question but not sure how to correct. tried searching online and correcting default to google but still only get a yahoo tab every time

You probobly downloaded or installed a "helpful" app or attachment that automattically makes you open yahoo tabs. try uninstalling chrome and reinstalling it.

You can fix that by following the instructions here
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95314?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

But it's a good idea to run AdwCleaner

I just noticed that in my Chrome settings it says that my browser is managed by my organization. This is my personal laptop though, and I'm not aware of anyone managing it :)

Only thing that comes to mind is WebChaver, but I thought that's at the computer level, not in the brower per se.

Any ideas?

WebChaver (or any web content filter) is a perfect customer cause for this.

The policy in place (disabling a certain type of DNS, which is private focused and makes it so that even the computer level doesn't know the sites visited by the browser) is something filters may need.

Nothing to worry about.

Thank you!! I don't have WebChaver filtering though, only accountability, which sends random screenshots to my chaver. Though it does show the page description under each screenshot and I guess it probably triggers screenshots based on suspicious pages too, so probably needs access to web activity?

Correct likely.

IIRC even the reporting tool has the ability to send an alert to the chaver if you visited an unwanted site

Spacebar on my Surface Book Pro has stopped working completely. Was intermittent for a while and is now completely dead. Removed the key, cleaned it, and did all that. No amount of pressure on the actual button underneath produces a space. I'm years out of warranty at this point.

Any ideas?
