Most recent thing I have discovered is that the rubber in my subwoofer cones is now dry and cracked. Completely removing it sounded better than the farting it was doing, and there are apparently cheap replacement kits available. However, this was the last hurrah for my Klipsch system. Instead of...

It is, but for some reason you are doing a bunch of unnecessary steps while trying to use MBR instead of GPT. PEBKAC.

True. I should have said "if you have a device where you already paid for the codec licensing fee. The OP had already paid for it by getting Windows 10 while Microsoft still paid for it, and that link is meant to be for those who have devices where the royalty has already been paid (whether by...

Isn't it still free if you have a supported device (i.e. your xeon)? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

It looks foreign when you first start, but there's a pattern to it. Powershell commands are supposed to follow Verb-Noun syntax and parameters are always prefixed with hyphen. Aliases are available for common commands, and tab completion is available for almost everything. Common shortcut syntax...

Followup: it's definitely a problem stemming from irfanview, and goes back to Win7: https://irfanview-forum.de/showthread.php?t=7275&page=2 You should be able to fix it by opening your default apps and resetting the "lnk" (link/shortcut) files so that they're not associated with the program.

Can you try using AutoRuns and look at the "Explorer" tab to see what extensions you have installed? My random guess is that there's some plugin a program installed that registered a desktop context menu and isn't behaving well when repeatedly queried.

If you haven't done so yet, can you install the LG monitor driver for its color profile? https://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-34WK650-W

Can you upload the dxdiag output? It will provide valuable insights into things like what your driver and monitors claim they can do, as well as the color space being applied. Further, the "looks great but pinkish" may be an issue due to a number of things: the monitor may be more efficient at...

A few important questions that may help your issue: Can you run dxdiag, save all information, and paste it here? Are you using DisplayPort? HDMI 2.0 can work, but I've seen more issues with it vs DP. Does it look weird when you are looking at HDR content? It appears you are looking at...

The modified inf couldn't be used because its catalog signature no longer matched the inf file's hash. I've had similar issues to what you are describing, but caused by monitors (!). Though they're not supposed to do this, some models "reverse probe" the hdmi or displayport and then cause a...

Then please don't threadcrap.

BS Guess you're right
