Brightness control not working
I've got a Lenovo Y50 laptop. Display brightness is usually controlled by Fn + up arrow and Fn +ndown arrow. Brightness controls are not working. Not sure when this started happening.
I am not getting full gigabit speed on only my computer.
Hello all, happy holidays!
Unfortunately things aren't so smooth for me right now, I have just installed gigabit internet in my home, but I'm having the problem that my computer is not getting the full speed. I know the modem is putting out 940 average, because I have an eero Pro connected to it and that reads 940, and my dad's laptop on wired connection also reads 900 average, it is only my computer that is not getting the full speed on the same wired connection. It gets on average 250 Mbps, sometimes stooping lower and upload is always the same speed at 40 Mbps up.
I am using a Cat6 cable not 5 ft from the standard xfinity modem, I have reset my network settings and flushed my DNS. I have used DNS Benchmark to make a custom list of the fastest DNS Servers for me. I have downloaded and check my ethernet adapter with Intel PROSET and everything checks out. My adapter has a max speed of 1 Gbps (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V). I have run virus and malware scans and came out clean. I have tried disabling windows firewall and running only ipv4 or 6. Among other things I have tried A LOT of troubleshooting and my knowledge has limited me at this point
100% disk usage shown in windows 10
i have tried all the videos in youtube but task manager continuously shows 100% disk
which slows down computer startup increasing boot time
what should i do?

Does defragging shorten SSD lifetime?
I use a Dell Latitude with an SSD drive. I note that some people recommended that the SSD should not be defragged as it can cause unnecessary wear and tear which will reduce its life span. Every time I run Boot speed it attempts to defrag the SSD. Two questions – (1) Does it really shorten the life of a SSD if it is defragged on a regular basis and (2) If I chose not to defrag how I stop this from happening other than every time manually untick the defrag box prior to hitting the “resolve all” button.
Many thanks in advance for your response.

Ipv4 and Ipv6 not connected
my Ipv4 and Ipv6 is showing it is not connected. ive tried a number of fixes including going to command prompts, ive tried going back to a restore point, however i keep getting an error message saying that files are corrupted and cannot be restored to a previous point. ive run windows trouble shooter, i get this error message 0x800f081f. even when i hard wire my computer using an ethernet cord, my internet does not remain on constantly, it will log me off the internet and back on multiple times. do you have a program that can clean up these window based errors, to be able to restore my computer? i believe the last update i got was 12-13-2020, the day prior to that, my wireless was working. anything you can suggest?
Issues after running internet optimization in BoostSpeed
Sunday I had to re-install windows 7 on my computer. After gettting all the updates, drivers etc. I installed Auslogics Boostspeed 12 on the computer. After running the internet opimization my interenet connection went to hell. I called my ISP and after testing on another PC and Laptop (wired) it had nothing to do with my connection. I even took my desktop and laptop to my brothers who has a different ISP with the same slow results.
I have a 1Gbps connection and before I used to get between 700Mbps to 800Mbps down and 250Mbps up. My last test at speedtest.net was 87.6 Mbps down and and 62.7 Mbps. (Cannot even hit a 100Mbps.) I have the latest drivers and unistalled the device and reinstalled it. Did not run internet optimization after the reinstall and ther results are the same. Auslogics Boostspeed 12 changed something somewhere and I cannot figure out where. I have spent a few days trying to resolve this problem. I really do not want to go back and spend a a couple days reformatting and reinstalling eveything again.
Also just to note at the bottom of the screen where it shows CPU % HDD % Ram % the NET % shows 0 when it used to work before. Even the networking in Taskmanger shows 0% usage even though I have a slow connectionn there is no usage showing.

Please Help. I am beyond frustrated at this poing.

I thought about purchasing a new Network Adapter however I am a retired FF/Medic and live on a tight budget and cannot really afford it and then to discover that did not fix the issue either.
Printer disabled by BoostSpeed
My printer is connected via USB (previously by network). Each time I run a scan and fix with Auslogics Boostspeed 12, I have reinstall the printer drivers from the ground up. Why is this? Is there a feature that I should not run to avoid this? Please advise.

On the subject of Devices
Yes I have tried the sugestions you mentioned in the previous answer. Problem is, do I have to remember to Unchek the devices every time I do click on the maintenance button and undue again and again?
Printer not connecting after BoostSpeed cleanup
Hello!
I recently used Auslogics to clean my computer. I believe I went to "optimize" to perform a deeper clean up. The question came up at the end to clean which I clicked on. My printer is now showing default, I cannot get it to connect to my internet either by the "wizard" or manually. HELP!!!

I would like to have some feedbag and your thoughts about(( Aspire V3-771-32328G75Makk))
Well this 8 years old laptop runs really smooth especially after i cleaned the fan. have learned alot about the hardware.
But.. i would like to play some games on it but there seems a problem with my videocard because intel dont support it anymore since windows 10. the questions are:
Can i upgrade this videocard?
Should i replace the Intel core i3-2328m cpu @ 2.20ghz to the I7 ?
And ifso yes is it worth it since the cost of hardware i need to buy then..
Sorry for the bad english.. (From Holland)
Kind regards!

WiFi keeps disconnecting
For about 9 months now often when I click to go from one webpage or website to another my Wi-Fi disconnects. I either must reconnect via the Internet icon or when I run the Windows Network Diagnostics it always tells me that "The default gateway is not available" and it fixes it. I have run all sorts of 'FIXES' found on the internet but still not fixed.
Up to date Windows 10, Firefox & Norton 360. Was doing the same thing when I used AVAST.
Logitech C920s
I've run two different anti-virus programs (including your Anti-Malware) and I also have your driver updater. Plus I made sure that I have the latest version of Logitech's LogiCapture software. And it does not appear that there were any Windows updates (other than Defender) since last week.
So...at this point I cannot use my webcam and I'm fairly certain it was due to some change made within BoostSpeed.
Please help me fix this. Is there an audit log in BoostSpeed that shows what settings were changed?
