My pc running Windows 10 is taking a long time to reach the desktop screen. I have timed the various stages as best I can.
from switch on to motherboard splash screen 30 secs
from splash screen to appearance of small spinning circle 20 secs (MSI board with AMD processor)
from appearance of spinning circle to Windows Welcome screen 20 secs.
from Welcome screen to desktop 8 secs
I recall many years ago to be able to watch files/drivers etc being loaded on a console type window so it was apparent which ones were taking a long time. I cant find anyway to do this, the Windows boot log doesnt give any time info.
Any advice on how to pursue this slow start problem is appreciated.
If your data storage is HDD it's okay. It's Windows 10, not Windows XP.
Possible you can decrease 1st step. Here motherboard manual is the best helper.

When I boot from a USB and "Try Ubuntu", I cannot increase the size of Partition 6 to us the Free Space. I assume the Free Space needs to be to the right of Partition 6 but, not sure. I have also tried gparted to no avail. How do I accomplish this without having to re-install Ubuntu?
NOTE: The laptop was once a Windows 10 unit that I re-partitioned and installed Ubuntu 22.04. I foolishly deleted the Windows partition from Ubuntu believing I could re-allocate the free space and maybe this has caused my problem.
I have booted from a USB and ran disk utilities in an effort to use my free space. I have read numerous posts on this topic from various sources but, I have not been able to duplicate those performances or suggestions.

I am doing a production at my school tonight, and we have a massive issue. The laptop which controls the lighting system has an automatic shut down time at 9.00. The show runs until almost 10.00 and when the laptop shuts down, as you can imagine, so do the lights. This is something which happens to all the PC's in the school. I'm pretty sure we have admin rights on the laptop itself, I just don't know how to disable this. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I don´t know how the auto shutdown is implemented and I guess it needs to be working again the next day.
So the easiest method i can think of would be to set the laptops time to like 8 in the morning when you start setting up your presentation. This gives you a 13 hour time window before the auto shutdown kicks in. After your presentation just reset the time to the correct time.
If the Laptop has an Internet connection during the presentation maybe also disable automatic time setting (NTP) or it might update itself during the presentation and shut down anywas.

I am working on making a large multi-touch table which is powered by Windows 10. I have the idea that multiple people could work on the table at once, on different windows. The problem is, Windows 10 only allows one windows to be focused at once. This makes it impossible for more than one person to work on it at once, as the focus would keep changing, and it would not work well at all. I was wondering if there is some way to make multiple windows 'focused' at the same time.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
I cannot give you a definitive answer on this, but I looked into using several mice and keyboards on windows a while ago, and the main problem was that you could not have several windows focussed at the same time, which messed up keyboard input. I have found no solution to this.
Since in windows 10 touch input is similar to mouse input, your only getaway may be virtualization.
E. G. have each window run by a virtual machine which has been assigned one keyboard and one mouse. This way, every window would respond to input whenever (focussed or not)
As for touch input, I guess you have one single input device, but the virtual machines may be able to read input form the screen while out of focus (I never tried this)

everyone!
I need your help!
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64.
I reinstalled it, but the problem is remaining.
BSOD happens about 1-2 time in a day.
I noticed that if it happens, it frequently happens in few minutes after I start to download something using "uTorrent".
Motherboard: "Asus M4A78LT-M LE". My network driver: "Qualcomm Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)".
I tried to install an old version, but the problem did remain.
My UAC and Windows Defender are off. Firewall is on.
Here's a link to some info I extracted:

(sorry it's in russian, cause I have russian Windows)
Here are the dump files (they are in .rar archive):

Thanks for the attention!
If it comes up again, it's probably L1C63x64.sys, not tcpip.sys. It's the driver of your qualcomm card, shows up in the stack of two of your minidumps just before tcpip.sys. Its timestamp is April 01 2013, while there is supposedly a newer one on your motherboard's support site, updated at 2013/09/30.
Another option is giving a shot to an unofficial driver, as a last resort solution.
Check Windows Event Log for events near the BSOD time. You are having a problem with tcpip.sys driver.

How could I switch off primary Macbook screen?
I'm working with 2 External via Thunderbolt and HDMI on new Retina Macbook.
I want to switch off retina display and work just with external monitors without closing the cover of my laptop. Is there any setup option for that? I didn't find it under Preferences.
It seems to be possible to sleep display so by I/O Kit:
http://explanatorygap.net/2009/01/31/a-screensaver-to-send-your-display-to-sleep/
But I am not sure whether it can control single monitors.
you are searching for the 'clamshell' mode. the only way i get this to work is to wake my mac with external keyboard while the lid stays closed
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
This worked like a charm on my old macbook (late 2008) with opening the lid again and the screen stays off until 'force' detecting it...
however, my retina display also wakes when in clamshell and then being opened.
There is a reason to this: Heat.
Aluminium macbooks can get really hot, especially since the vents are in the back and blowing the heat up in front of the opened display. Your retina macbook shuts itself down at about 110°C to 130°C, but please be careful.
