So, I've been using my laptop with windows 10 for over three years and everything was cool, all programs and games were working good, and I've not changed any hardware recently, until suddenly 5 days ago it started to act weird, the nvidia logo kept showing and disappearing multiple times non stop, and some games randomly close while playing for like 2-5 minutes and some of them don't even run at all, and that all happend while there was no internet connected to my laptop.
So, at first I thought it was a virus, so I formated the C drive and installed another newer version of windows 10, but then the same problem happened, there was also no internet connected to my laptop, and not just that, a newer problem happend, there were multiple services that were running in the background and using almost all of the cpu, memory, and disk resources, services like "Antimalware Service Executable, Application Layer Gateway, SNMP, Microsoft (R) Diagnostics, and others", and then I formated the C drive and installed the previous version of windows 10 (the one that I was working with for over 3 years), and it now have both problems, even though this version of windows 10 that I used for over 3 years was working really good with no problems, so, I'm starting to lose my mind, I tried everything I know.
Could it be a hardware issue or a virus that is in another drive (other than c drive) or what is the deal here?
I tried to scan the C drive with Windows Defender and it scans for about 15 mins and then it just freezes with no warnings or errors, I can only cancel it.
My specs:
Laptop: Dell Latitude E6430
CPU: Intel Core i5 3340m
GPU: NVIDIA NVS 5200m
RAM: 12GB DDR3
Storage: SSD 480GB ADATA (only two drives: C drive and D drive)
*The windows 10 version I was working with for over 3 years: 1809
*The new windows 10 version i tried: 2004
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you so much for your time.

Here's the problem - I need my Bluetooth Low Energy-Only device to be able to connect to Windows 7 computers. Preferably using a regular CSR dongle, if possible. Is there any way or workaround?
I spent the two last days googling stuff to make my designer mouse working on my Lenovo T450 under Windows 7.
The solution I found may not apply to everyone: your computer must have a Bluetooth 4.0 capability (which as I understand allows Bluetooth Low Energy (aka BLE or Bluetooth Smart) to work.
The BLE drivers are not native to Windows 7 so you need to install them: go to your manufacturer's website and download the latest Intel Bluetooth drivers. Depending on the make, they might have various combinations of drivers (sometimes with overall wireless drivers, sometimes Bluetooth separately,.. I had to try about 3 - 4 different without really knowing what they meant). Once those drivers installed, you should be able to see your mouse/keyboard and pair to them.
I had to reboot my laptop multiple times and had to download a lot of different drivers from various sources but the one thing that worked was googling: Intel Bluetooth driver "your laptop make and model" and downloading the drivers.
Ps. I have also downloaded the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" application and although opening it and trying to use it did not help at all, it might have help setting something in the background that made the drivers get installed smoothly (not an IT person, I have no idea).
I hope it helps!
Good luck
You need Bluetooth hardware that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. Then just install the driver for Windows 7. Don't use Windows' internal update service (its lying and will tell you that your driver is up to date). I used this:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28510/Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-for-Windows-7-
Well, Logitech Mx Anywhere 2 surprisingly started working with Windows 7 (Dell 380 Module on E6430 laptop) with IVT Bluesoleil Stack (unfortunately not freeware). Context menu of its icon in tray has "Bluetooth 4.0 functions", that allow adding BLE/Smart devices.

I am wondering if it is possible to run a program (specifically rainmeter) on Windows 95/98 but is meant to run on at least XP. The reason being is that I have an old computer with limited ram, and I want to minimize the system impact by running the earliest version of windows possible, so I can run rainmeter on it without major lag, and hook it up to a spare monitor to display random data (such as date, time, ect.) I would just hook it up to my main computer, but my video card is already maxed out in terms of ports. The computer in question is an AMD Athlon XP w/ 1gb ram and some sort of integrated graphics, and a 160gb hdd (which I am probably going to swap out with an old 30gb I have).
Two things: First, an Athlon XP with 1 GB RAM is a really, really powerful machine for the time. Windows 95 was intended for 4 MB Machines, while Windows 98 required 16 MB. Windows XP required 64 MB and came out at a time when machines with 128 MB RAM were standard and 1 GB was the real "Why do you need so much outside of a Server?!" amount - there is really no reason not to run Windows XP on it and save you all the headache.
Secondly, running an app meant for Windows XP on Windows 98 may be as trivial as "Just copy it over" or impossible. There are some runtime things that aren't part of Windows 98 but can be installed on it, for example Internet Explorer 5, the Visual C++ Runtime or the .net Framework 2.0. However, there are some system APIs that simply do not exist in Windows 98 and there is no way to add them (this also includes .net Frameworks newer than 2.0 or the Visual C++ Runtime since at least 2010).
it is also of note that Windows XP is based on Windows 2000/NT while Windows 95/98 is based on a completely different kernel with different APIs, introducing further incompatibilities.
It would be an exercise to find out exactly what prevents the app from running on Windows 98 and checking if there are redistributable components available for it, but as said, with a machine as powerful as yours, there is no reason not to install at least Windows XP.

I need two systems running, with a mic on system A going to speakers on system B, and vice versa, in realtime.
I currently have three systems set up:
Fedora
Jack works fine
Ubuntu
Jack has problems recognizing microphones
Windows
Jack works fine
I can connect Jack between the two linux systems fine, but since the ubuntu system is having jack problems regarding microphones, I'm trying to get Windows to communicate with either of them, to no avail so far. I've tried googling around but people seem to either say "It works!" or "It has problems!" without giving details.
Is there a canonical method for using netjack W<->L?
Would really appreciate any help I can get on this.
you could try jacktrip, that has an experimental windows client.
people also reported that soundjack.eu is supposed to work great, but i have never tested it (and couldn't find a linux client on their website)
I was able to get audio playback working from Windows to Linux with netjack2.
I did a small write-up of it here: https://gist.github.com/kotarou3/3813bbf7833a0e4618f7fbe8a377872d
Partially quoting here for posterity:
Stream audio from Windows to Linux
Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 Redstone 1
Both boxes need to be on the same network (such that multicast packets
can be passed between them)
Installing
Linux
Setup JACK (easy to do with Cadence)
Windows
Install JACK and ASIO Bridge on the Windows
box
Run regsvr32 32bits\JackRouter.dll and regsvr32 64bits\JackRouter.dll from JACK installation directory
Modify 32bits\JackRouter.ini and 64bits\JackRouter.ini to match your channel and sample config
(Optional) Set the ASIO Bridge (Hi-Fi Audio) input as the default playback device
Running
Start the netjack2 server on Linux with jack_load netmanager (probably also possible to add to .jackdrc for it to autoload)
Run JACK NetDriver on Windows (it's in the Start menu), or jackd -R -d net
A new device named the hostname of the Windows box should have appeared on the Linux JACK patch panel
(Catia if you're
using Cadence). Connect it as you see fit (Note: Channels might not
match up as expected if you have more than 2).
Run ASIO Bridge (also in the Start menu), turn ASIO on, and set the ASIO device to JackRouter
The ASIO Bridge should have automatically set up routes to the system device in the Windows JACK patch panel. You can double check
with qjackctl (Jack Control in the Start menu) → Connections
and connect them if not
I imagine this can be further adapted to get microphone input from Windows as well by using Windows' microphone to speaker loopback feature (it's in the microphone config for Windows 10), albeit at the cost of more latency.
Basically get Windows to send the microphone to the ASIO Bridge input.

Ok so I just got a new SSD for my laptop. I have installed Windows 7 on the SSD and can successfully boot into Windows 7.
I took the SSD out and put in the normal hard drive and installed Ubuntu onto it. So now when I add the other SSD back into the laptop I go into the BIOS and boot override into the SSD to try and get to my Windows 7 install.
I at least make it to the "Starting Windows" screen for about a second. Then it starts saying "Loading files" like its doing a recovery. It opens up recovery and tries to repair forever but then after 5 minutes will say that it can't repair.
If I try to boot override into the Ubuntu hard drive it works just fine.
If I take out the Ubuntu hard drive I can then boot into Windows 7.
The expected behavior is that I will be able to use the BIOS to boot into either hard drive.
You should configure the master boot record of one of the two hard drives to point to both operating systems, and then use it as a primary for booting.
I recommend using grub2 on the SSD with linux, primarily because it is the easier to configure and less risky than modifying the boot partition of the Windows hard drive.
Here is the documentation for grub: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2
I ran into an issue once where there was a competition between two hard drives because they were in master/slave configuration, and Windows was not configured to recognize itself as a primary boot, even when specified in the bios, if it was in a slave position.
It is possible however to boot linux from a slave position relatively easily.
Also, whenever you insert two hard drives, with both expecting to be booted, it changes the partition and hard drive numbering: see the paragraph titled "GRUB Notation" here. Be aware of this, because this can also effect how a OS boots.
My guess is that the reason Windows fails to load, is because the MBR was installed and configured with the assumption that is would be booted without changing its hard drive number. Thus, windows may attempt to load, but actually be pointing to the wrong hard drive when searching for whatever core files it loads at start-up. However, this seems less likely to me than the master/slave issue.

I've started developing with Delphi on the Mac and thought I would share my observations and see if anyone else had any advice or tips for Mac development with Delphi.
A while back I had some comment discussion about Delphi development on a Mac. It was in the comments of an answer to another question. With the passing of some months, I thought it might be worth writing up a quick summary for anyone thinking about switching VM host.
Overall OS X + VMware makes a very nice development platform for making Delphi apps.
Platform
MacBook Pro 17" 2.93GHz Core 2 Duo. OS X Leopard
VMware Fusion 2.0.5
Vista + Delphi 2007
Observations
moving an existing PC development environment is straight forward. VMware
can build a VM from a physical PC, or as I did, build it from a TrueImage backup. Existing host VMS's can just be copied across.
there is obviously a performance hit using a VM, but it's not really that noticeable. I'd say speed is at least as fast as my previous HP 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo
get plenty of RAM. 4GB or 8 if you can afford it. 4GB is quite usable
Delphi building a fair-sized app goes fine in a 1.5GB VM
allocate only 1 core to the VM - it's faster
use a virtual hard drive for the guest OS. It's much faster than running the guest from a BootCamp partition
the MBP has two video subsystems, NVidia 9400M and 9600M GT. Using the faster 9600M gives a much smoother experience when VMware is running
VMware Fusion doesn't have the WDDM driver needed to enable Aero. If your app has Aero features you want to test, you'll need to make a separate BootCamp Windows installation to try out the Aero features
the ctrl key vs command key of Windows and OS X will probably be quite annoying with the default settings. VMware let's you control key mappings, so you can set it so the Win vs Mac differences are minimised. You'll probably also want to tweak the keyboard and mouse settings in System Preferences
the Mac function keys (Expose etc) conflict step on the Delphi. The Mac function keys can be disabled in the VMware preferences.
if you are using a MBP, there are no PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys. Apple got a bit too minimalist here. You get these keys using Fn or Cmd modifiers. There are irritating inconsistencies between some apps
two-finger scrolling on the MBP trackpad is a thing of beauty
if you don't have multiple monitors, putting Windows full-screen in a Space works pretty well
if you use Time Machine for backups, it will backup the entire VM (unless you have it broken into smaller files). You can make this more manageable by creating a snapshot. Time Machine will then only backup the much smaller change file. That file will gradually grow - delete the snapshot and make a new one (doing a backup first, of course :-)
Mac is a nice user experience, but it's not magic - they have their wtf moments too
What are you Delphi Development with Mac tips and advice? Thanks!
You can also try wxForms for Delphi from TwinForms.com
For making native Mac apps you might want to check out Lazarus. Its a bit like the older Delphis (which personally i prefer than to the newer Visual Studio looking interface) but its quite good and used in production environments.
