I try to keep additional stuff installed by different apps, hardware-related software & drivers to a minimum level. As you all know default nVidia installation setup installs a lot of stuff most of us may not need. I typically disable 3D drivers (don't game at all) and PhysiX driver. I can't...

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I've scheduled my Windows 10 update and received the message it's ready, but decided to stick to Windows 8.1 for a while. I've uninstalled the famous KB3035583 update and deleted Win10 installation directory. However Win10 install files keep being downloaded...

Well, the MS solution hasn't worked for me :(. Others my try resetting Windows Update (as described here) as this is also supposed to help with this error. For me the error appears only when updates for both Windows and other MS programs are checked. If looking for Windows updates only (to be...

I have exactly the same problem on my Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and the MS solution provided by MS doesn't work :(. I've also found some other solution (it actually resets Windows Update) together with automated FixIt file which claims to have corrected the error, but in fact it doesn't. I've...

Well, I've finally decided to go for one of Kanguru products, as the only other available was Trekstor but this one has USB 2.0 interface. Suprisingly a lot of China noname stuff with switches is available, but somehow I don't trust it... ;)

Thanks broe23! I'm aware of what you're saying but I want a convenient solution since I need to repeatedly copy data to and from the stick. The principal reason for this is my stick gets connected to lot of computers and some of them are not virus-free :( That's why I want to set the write...

Pendrive with physical write protect switch Hi guys, Are you aware of any pendrives equipped with a physical (mechanical) write-protect switch? I used to have an old Phillips drive with that feature but it recently died. I need it as I qute often port files to other machines outside our...

@hydranix - the 0.0.0.0 trick worked! Thank you so much for that! Now when I try to connect to e.g. video.site.com, it's no longer working, while with 127.0.0.1 it somehow worked. This might have been some setting within corporate network / my machine config that was overwritting typical...

@hydranix - no, I don't think our network uses IPv6, as I can disable it in the settings and everything keeps working.

@bore23 - I'm looking to disable only a particular subdomain, like: video.site.com, while still being able to access www.site.com or audio.site.com @z3r010 - sure I did reboot :)

@Ztruker - yes, I'm fully aware this is a simple and convenient way of disabling access to certain sites. However, it looks it's not efffective enough in my case, as even though I have set certain subdomains to 127.0.0.1, I'm still able to receive response from those sites (meaning I'm not...

Hi all, Can you please recommend an application doing similar job as adding records to the hosts file does? I'm looking for a tool capable of blocking connections for particular subdomains (not entire domains). I don't really want to install another firewall (as I'm already using one) and I'm...

You just need to set browser properties within the selected profile - you can set the proxy settings work there (I needed some time to find this option... ;)) A good (but unrelated to proxy) tip when using NSM is not to disable other adapters as then it takes ages to switch the profile and both...

Well, I've reached the desired result using NetSetMan, but still am a bit confused :)

Well, that's what I thought, however in my previous machine switching to wireless caused no problems with proxy. Most likely there was some setting / script that disabled proxy setting for WiFi connection. On the other hand seeing setting named "LAN settings" suggests that proxy set there would...

I've just got a brand new work machine with Windows 8.1 Pro x64 installed. When I connect to the network LAN, I need to set up a proxy address to have it working, which I did. However it looks like the same setting now affects also WiFi - when I connect to a wireless network I'm unable to...

Is it possible to see the actual used & free space of my OneDrive folder? What I see at the moment are in fact numbers matching my primary HDD drive on my machine :), not numbers reflecting OneDrive capacity.

I hope someone has enough OneNote experience to help me solve that. The thing is that when I copy-paste a webpage into OneNote (using 2013 version) everything is displayed properly. However after a system restart the previously pictures disappear and only text is left. See the screenshot: My...

Indeed, my machine is the mobile workstation (yet we can discuss its mobility :) ) and has many professional functionalities and interfaces. Thank you for clarifying that - now I'm certain that smart card-related services run on my machine without purpose. I will set those services (there are...

I know what it is ;) but I don't use it at home (though have to use it at work). I'm just surprised that that type of service was somehow set to run automatically on my workstation, so I'm looking for a possible explanation. Since both devices - fingerprint reader and smartcard reader read...
