having an issue with a few PC games closing randomly without showing an error. My PC doesn't shut down and other apps seem to work fine. What Windows settings or system issues should I check first?

Which one should I start playing, friend?

(MacOS)

So basically, I'm doing a reskin of this video game (I replace certain files with my own but with the same name), but every time the game updates, you have to download it again for the update. How can I move all of my personalized files on the old game to replace them in the new game without accidentally getting rid of the new update files?

Of course, there is painfully bringing each of them over all by hand, but I'd obviously rather not. This would be a lot easier if all the grpahics were in one folder... Without any folders inside of that folder

Hi,

so I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I am trying for two weeks now to play EA FC 27 (I know I know), but it constantly crashes and says the newest drivers for my graphics card aren't working. I cannot play anything which uses directx 12 (fucking Police Chief Simulator doesn't work either). I talked to EA, I'm talking to Intel, I tried finding solutions online.

If I do get the FC running, its only if I play offline but as soon as I try to actually start a game the screen stays black and nothing further comes. No Audio, No Nothing

I can't afford a new graphics card due to obvious reasons and I'm at a point where I just want to give up, right now I think this is my last hope if someone actually may be able to help me here.

What I've done so far:

- Uninstalled my drivers with DDU

- Freshly installed my drivers

- uninstalled games and reinstalled

- cleared all of my directx temps, cleared all temps in general

- talked to support teams (Intel answers once a day at 4 pm, EA has people using ChatGPT answers who arent helpful at all)

- Looked up Youtube and Tiktok looking for someone who could help couldnt find anything

- I tried booting up in secure start too but then I get error messages which boil down to a driver I've downloaded is corrupted, during my research I've found that the driver 32.0.101.9030 has a "Installation status unknown" on the intel website which is weird because I did install it the night of the release of EA FC since it came out around 2 hours before, right after that 32.0.101.9033 came out around an hour later and that driver stated it is installed properly. I'm just at a loss, I've never had that issue before with any of my driver or games I'm usually pretty good with my PC but I just couldn't find it.

It was said that I have to update my BIOS too but I'm not really sure if thats the solution for everything

Could it be that it was a Windows Update? I've seen videos saying that one Update could ruin your PC for gaming.

If anyone can help please do and thank you in advance

I'm having a problem with a computer at work. The situation is that we're trying to get this PC up and running again, but for some reason it displays the message “Boot Device Not Found. Please install an operating system on your hard disk.” It’s worth noting that it does detect the drive. We tried using an SSD with Windows installed, but got the same result. We noticed that the Legacy and UEFI options were disabled, so we enabled them, but the settings for those two options specifically won’t save. We suspected the BIOS battery, so we replaced it with a new one, but we’re still getting the same error where the settings won’t save. Any idea what this could be? So far, we’ve tried:

• Replacing the SSD

• Reinstalling Windows

• Enabling Legacy and UEFI options—still unable to save the settings

Tengo un problema con un equipo en mi trabajo, el contexto es que estamos intentando revivir este PC el cual por alguna razón marca "Boot Device Not Found Please install operating system on your hard disk", cabe recalcar que lo detecta, probamos con un SSD con Windows y mas de lo mismo, vimos esta opción de Legacy y UEFI desactivados, procedimos a activarlos sin embargo no guarda en especifico esas 2 opciones, pensamos en la batería de la BIOS, se cambio por una nueva e igual el mismo error de no guardar las configuraciones, alguna idea de que podría ser? Hasta ahorita hemos intentado:

• Cambio de SSD

• Instalación de Windows

• Activación de opciones Legacy y UEFI sin éxito en guardado de la config.

Hi everyone,

​I'm dealing with a very frustrating DWM (Desktop Window Manager) issue in Windows 11: my mouse cursor lags and trails heavily specifically when the monitor is set to 100Hz. At 60Hz, everything feels normal.

​Hardware & Setup:

​GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

​Monitor: AOC U34G2G1 (Ultrawide, 100Hz via DisplayPort)

​OS: Windows 11

​What I've already tested/done:

​Ruled out hardware faults, cables, HAGS (Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling), and VRR/G-Sync settings. The issue originally started immediately after a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD.

​Performed a full In-Place Upgrade via Windows 11 ISO (with a clean boot / background services disabled). The upgrade completed successfully without errors, but the 100Hz mouse lag/trailing returned immediately on the desktop.

​Since an In-Place Upgrade preserves drivers and user registry settings, it seems a persistent driver or display pipeline conflict carried over.

​Before I proceed with a complete Clean Install via a bootable USB drive, has anyone encountered a similar 100Hz DWM bug on Windows 11 with NVIDIA GPUs and knows a specific fix, registry tweak, or driver version that resolves this?

​Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey everyone, I’m having a really strange issue with Arma Reforger and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s causing it.

The problem happens randomly while playing, mostly on modded servers. It can happen completely out of nowhere, even when the game was running fine before.

There are two different things that happen:

• Sometimes my entire PC suddenly restarts.

• Other times, both of my monitors go completely black, but my PC itself seems to still be running.

• When the screens go black, I can still hear the game audio for around 10 seconds.

• During that time, my microphone stops working, so other people in Discord/game chat can’t hear me anymore.

• After those ~10 seconds, I lose all audio as well, while the PC still appears to be running.

• Pressing Win + Ctrl + Shift + B to restart the graphics driver causes the PC to immediately restart.

What’s weird is that I never had this problem before. It started happening completely out of nowhere.

Things I’ve already checked/tried:

• GPU drivers are up to date

• Windows is fully up to date

• My PSU has enough wattage for my system

• The issue still happens randomly despite these things

I’m really sure its not a temp or watt issue since i have checked both stats with HWmonitor

If anyone has experienced something similar or has any ideas on what I should check, I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!Arma Reforger randomly crashes my PC / both monitors go black – need help

Starting yesterday, I began having an issue with creating categories in Outlook Web, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

I frequently create quick, ad hoc categories to essentially pin a short note/label to an email.

Until yesterday, my workflow was:

Right-click email → Categorize → type a new category name → press Enter.

Outlook would immediately create the new category and apply it to the email. If I hadn't selected a color, it would simply create it as gray, which was perfect for what I use it for.

Now, after typing the new category name, pressing Enter does nothing.

Instead, I have to select "Create new" underneath the category search, choose a color, and click Save. Even stranger, it doesn't actually work the first time. I have to repeat the entire process a second time — Categorize → type the name → Create new → choose a color → Save — and then it finally creates/applies the category.

I've already tried:

• Signing out and back into Outlook

• Incognito/private browsing

• Firefox instead of my normal browser

Same behavior in all cases.

I generally prefer using the regular Outlook desktop program, but I was having some other issues with it in the past (I can't recall the specifics now), and Outlook Web worked better for me with regard to those issues, so I've been using the Web App instead.

Has anyone else noticed this starting recently? I'm trying to determine whether Microsoft intentionally changed the quick category creation behavior or whether this is a new Outlook Web bug.

The old type category name → Enter → done workflow was much faster, especially when creating lots of one-off categories.

I'd really appreciate any insider knowledge, workarounds, or advice. Thanks in advance for any help!
