...and it's pretty lame responding to someone's legitimate question, purely to label them an idiot, without having any information at all on why they have asked that question in the first place. Disabling updates is pretty trivial. Group Policy changes - as referenced by Pendragon1 are a good...

I hadn't thought of that. I might give it a shot, but that's not my normal style. It's easy going back to do lower rated missions, once you've gotten used to level 50 and up. The highest I've had so far is rated 71.

A minor nuisance I'm noticing is you can only see high reward and tracked missions on planets that are further than a certain distance from you. i.e. to see all the other missions in an area of the star map, you need to actually move to that area, which then means you can only see planets in...

Starting >>> Storage Spaces is starting or waiting for drives to be connected in the pool. This should be a temporary state. Once completely started, the pool should transition to a different operational state. Action: If the pool stays in the Starting state, make sure that all drives in the...

I don't believe so. None of the guides I have looked at mention them, but I thought I saw one in a game trailer, but I am likely wrong. Mech lists are below if you're curious: https://www.sarna.net/wiki/MechWarrior_5:_Mercenaries...

I find if you manage your lance as your main task and then provide backup to them in your own mech, that works well, but agreed - if you leave your lance members to their own devices they tend to be pretty random. The spawning behind and right next to you stuff is a bit crummy - not sure how...

...I think it's a bit of both, but that's just from my own current (which is my first) play through. The game does seem to progress in stages and I think the story missions (tracked ones) tie into the game's progression. I had a noticeable increase after my last story mission where things went...

...I am going to assume you are not trolling, although I suspect there's probably a 50% chance you are trolling. This is a hoax video / misinformation. This particular YouTuber has a history of doing hoax technical support videos. Read / scroll through the YouTube comments and you should...

Try the element blocking feature of uBlock Origin. It's available for Firefox, Opera and I think Chrome. I use the first two browsers and I've used it's blocking feature to remove things from Facebook in the past - very similar to what you're wanting to do. ...it might work, perhaps it won't...

Cool - well you solved your main issue, which was the goal from your original post :) The map issue is something you'll need to work through and it sounds like you've got a plan in mind. If it's a heat issue, you could use something like RivaTuner's Statistics server - for it's On Screen Display...

It's a good fun game. It kind of feels like a mix of Borderlands, Mass Effect and Fallout 3 or something close to that. Basically a simple FPS with limited RPG elements, but it's pretty fun and personally I prefer it's style of gameplay to the Borderlands series. But it's not a crazy in depth...

Try the community launcher, maybe the community patches and see how you get on with those. I haven't played this game in a very long time and from your original post, and the way the game is failing to start, your issue _might_ (note the underlining) be related to securom. Have a read of this...

Correct - it's a version of the Enterprise Edition.

It's probably a lack of specific needs or requirements on my part. I've been an IT tech support professional for a long time (over 20 years) & have a good handle on how I use my computer. As mentioned I don't use regular Microsoft updates of any kind, run a pretty well tuned OS (unwanted...

Which would be a bonus from my perspective. I run LTSC & it's perfect for my needs, but I tend to run a quite modified installation & I don't use automated (scheduled) windows updates. I guess it depends on what you want from the OS.

...chances are likely that someone probably has created something very similar to what you're talking about, but if may or may not be shared online and depending on what the person has called it, then it might be hard to find. On the MS script repository you'll find lots examples of file system...

...basically learning to script is pretty much a case of forcing yourself into it. There are some good learning resources on the web and I personally have a pretty big collection of ebooks I've purchased over the years - powershell ones being of considerable value (to me anyway). An example of...

I think you've already been given some pretty clear answers. I've tested readyboost and other USB 3 based cache tools years ago and in short - you're wasting your time. They're really aimed at low performance systems where it's your only real option. Follow the advice given - install more...

... PowerShell sounds like the simplest tool to do what you're asking - assuming it's a standard drive / directory structure as you've stated. The MS script repository would be easiest place to start. If you don't know PowerShell, then your query sounds like a pretty simple task to start with -...

That's a valid approach - assuming it works happily (i.e. the product activation - I haven't played with Maya for a few years), but you can't avoid the performance overhead of virtualising the OS or application. That's unavoidable regardless of hardware - and is the main reason a lot of 3D CAD...

Application Packagers are what's typically used in enterprises for this sort of work - and I've done plenty of it in the past, but not for quite a few years, so I'm going to be a bit out of date with my current knowledge. Intro document...

All certifications are worth it - well any that are industry recognised and from either the product vendor, an approved training organisation or a well known 3rd party (technical institute etc). I'm not a fan of spending money on qualification boot camps and getting an obscure qualification in...

I suggest reading these as a good start. The general idea is disabling, uninstalling / changing unwanted features that consume resource. You haven't stated which version of Windows 10 you're using, so you should check that first (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_10_version_history) In...

Exactly. If I wanted ad's I'd still be watching broadcast television. Are you aware of upcoming changes to counter ad blockers on YT ? I'm curious if you have any info or links etc ...? On Windows - I use either Firefox or Opera - quite often both at the same time, for no real reason other...

There are plenty of good suggestions on this thread. I would definitely agree with the recommendations re: 1) Kingdom Come Deliverance (it's obviously medieval and has a realistic slant to it, but if a first person RPG set in medieval times with a realistic angle appeals, then definitely check...

Great - that's your opinion. Have I seen videos of people experiencing weird behaviour in Arma 3 ? - yes I have. But in saying that, I have never personally experienced any unusual or weird behaviour myself - like it, or not. Putting it in context - I have also seen lots of people who have...

I guess we'll agree to disagree then. The links I posted were two (of a very large number) that were easily available. I wasn't trying to "build credibility" as you put it - rather trying to back up my own opinion with references to reviews from other sources who seem to share similar opinions...

2 articles for you to read through... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/remote-desktop-connection-not-using-saved/13a17d84-b008-4767-95fb-b891e9e6bc66 https://superuser.com/questions/604483/windows-7-remote-desktop-connection-save-credentials-not-working

...it definitely seems to have a modern Privateer type vibe to it. Not sure if it's my sort of thing or not. I'll probably wait until it's out and read some in depth reviews, but at the least, it looks like a good blast em up space game. If it's got a decent duration to it, in terms of the main...

lol Great - and as a comment for you - everything you have stated is subjective (feel free to re-read your comments) and unless you actually state something that's objective, your opinion is just that - an opinion. How do your "years of experience with arma 3" or the fact that you have "ran...

....for something slow and clunky, it's impressive that the developer has spun it into a military training product used by multiple armies around the world - i.e. the virtual battle space series (same core game engine). https://bisimulations.com/products/virtual-battlespace ...and again...

Oh yeah - you're talking my language now :) I really love all those games. System Shock was awesome - and was a bit of spin off from the Ultima Underworld games - same game engine and development team (Looking Glass). Ultima Underworld was probably the most influential 3D RPG of all time - in my...

... all good - I'm definitely an "each to their own" sort of person and I'm not going to judge other people for their tastes and preferences in games etc. I'm sure there are loads of things I like that other people can't stand. re: Quake - not really online multiplayer. I was only really into...

...perhaps because some people think the game-play is simplistic and repetitive...? I've looked at Fortnite on twitch and the concept, game-play and depth of it bores me within a minute or two. But I fully admit I'm not really into most online multi-player games - for the same reasons. I'm...

I don't believe that's correct. Do you have a reference for that, or is it just a guess ? e.g.: I'm running Nvidia Geforce driver version 418.91 (2 versions old but released recently) on Windows Pro x64 ver 1703 (10.0.15063). Latest release notes are here as a reference...

...so basically you don't use PowerShell for much at all.... thanks. lol

For de-duping on my home PC - I use a freeware tool called AllDup - I use the portable version which doesn't require an installation. http://www.alldup.de/en_download_alldup.php It can search for duplicates based on multiple criteria and can export the results to Text file. I probably have...

Silent Hunter 4 and Silent Hunter 5 both work on Windows 10 - I have both currently installed and working on Win 10 Pro. 4 is set in the Pacific controlling a US sub, 5 in the Atlantic controlling a German U-boat. As commented by termite - some people really don't like the game mechanics of 5 -...

I'd check first if you have the taskbar icons set to small size, or not - which you can do by: Right-click the blank area on your taskbar and then select properties. Select or deselect the square box with either a check or white in it. Choose small icons, press apply, and press ok when you are...

Read some examples from MS'es script repository and then modify to suit - these sort of reports are pretty standard stuff, so there are a lots of examples you can find that will point you in the right direction. Typically in a work situation I've done these sorts of reports via e-mail for trend...
