Missing Printer Driver in Device Manager

Hello-

I'm not sure if this was the cause after running scans, but the 'Printer Driver' listed in the Device Manager has disaapeared. How to I get it back? I tried reinstalling the HP drivers the Printer Driver listed is still not there. I have 'Image Devices' listed with the HP Scanner driver listed (but nothing else). I have attached a pix of my Device Manager.

Thank you

Steven

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.
PC Specs: Attached
Device Manager: Attached

Please Help. I am beyond frustrated at this poing.
Mike

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.

BSODs whenever the PC is booted with the webcam plugged in

I have a Logitech C920s webcam. Everything was working perfectly fine until Wednesday evening. At that time I started doing a bunch of maintenance within BoostSpeed. Something in my system was changed, and now I get a BSOD whenever I boot my computer when the webcam is plugged in. If I remove the webcam from the USB port, then the computer boots fine.

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?

Toneport KB37 sound interface stopped working on Windows 11

My good old Line 6 Toneport KB37, midi controller, and external soundcard combo stopped working on my new PC.

When running on an Asus TUF H310M with a Core i5 9400F and 16GB of RAM, it was working just fine.

Now, on the new setup, a Gigabyte Aorus Elite B760M with a Core i5 13th gen and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, the installation and driver setup ran okay. However, when playing any kind of music or sound file in any player, including YouTube, streaming services, you name it, it doesn't work. The sound feels 'cropped'; it plays extremely slow and low pitched, clearly malfunctioning.

Cubase 12 doesn't even recognize the device or the ASIO drivers for configuration.

I've been using the Toneport KB37 for music production and as a general soundcard for years, and on the old PC, it still works perfectly.

The same USB cable is being used on both PCs.

Am I missing any kind of configuration, new driver, or something that could make it work with Windows 11?

Thanks in advance for your time and help. Any kind of tip or suggestion will be extremely appreciated.

Jabra Speak 710 not recognized as a sound device

I have a Jabra Speak 710, connected through a Jabra Link 380 bluetooth device.
My computer (Thinkpad, with Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2) does not recognize the speaker as a sound device.
When connected to the computer through the USB cable, the speaker is visible in the catagory Other Devices iso Audio Devices.
The speaker and the link are working fine on another computer of mine, and also on my smartphone.
I reached out to Jabra support, they have helped me resetting the firmware, removing and reconnecting the device etc. but nothing works. I even got a new speaker from them, but still no change.
The problem started after installing an update of a driver. Undoing the update did not help.
I have even done a full re-installation of Windows, which has removed all customized settings, but problem still persists.
When starting up the computer, there is a very brief connect with the speaker (the speaker says : "PC connected"), but immediately followed by a disconnect (the speaker says : "PC disconnected")
I think there is an entry in the registry that prevents connecting with the speaker, but I am not able to identify it.

Sound fades In and out after windows update

With hte update of Windows t0 the sound on my computer fades in and out. I have used the troubleshooter; however, it is of no help at all.

I have a HP Pavilion 15t-n200 CTO Notebook PC and HP is of no use any longer as my warranty has run out and as my computer is almost seven years old it probably cannot be renewed. My laptop has a Conexant Audio driver HD,

I am considering buying a new computer but before spending $1000, I want to be sure there isns't something I can do with the one I have.

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.

Drives showing different amount of free disk space

I have two external HD of exactly the same size, 3.63 TB, they both hace exactly the same amount of data stored on them both, 1.84 TB, 2240 files, 61 folders. My issue is that the "free space" shows a difference amount, 1.50 TB verse 1.55 TB. I have ensured that recycle bin on them both are empty and ran every program that would make sense with the confines of BoostSpeed 13 and nothing seems to make any difference. This isn't the only example of this sort of thing happening. I'm bewildered. Please advise.

By the way, I wasn't sure what to pick above for "Device" so I randomly picked something.

Дефрагментация SSD и дефрагментация реестра

1. Почему программа начала дефрагментировать компъютер с диском SSD, хорошо ли это (вроде ему нужна только оптимизация), и если нет, как отключить дефрагментацию SSD ?

2. Хорошо ли делать дефрагментацию реестра при перезагрузке компъютера с SSD ? (Меня фсегда очень интересовал этот вопрос).

Заранее спасибо.
