“Disk repair” Function Takes Over
Hi,
1 . There was NO Sucategory that matched my Question so I picked 3D Builder <-- ignore please.
This morning was the second time that my laptop was taken over by a “disk repair” function that I think is linked with BoostSpeed. I start up my laptop and something begins churning away telling me that it will take 8 hours to complete. Actually it could not tell time correctly because it took 3 ½ hours before I could use the laptop.
Q: How to prevent this happening again? At least giving me the option to say OK do it now or wait?
Thanks,
Michel

Does this type of defrag keep the SSD from degrading over time? Can you explain this process in more detail? Thank You, Craig Stone in California

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.
The Wireless Network Adapter cuts out
I keep losing the wifi connection while I am online. The Windows troubleshooter states the wireless network adapter has to be reset--which is does and the wifi works again...temporarily. Then it cuts out again and I go through the same drill, over and over.
What is messing with the WNA? No other device in my house using the wifi has this problem. Only my laptop I am using now.
Thanks...Shane Ostrom

Driver is Unavailable error
My Win 10 (64bit) PC can find my Epson printer on my local network, connected by ethernet cable to my router, and installs the "necessary files". However, afterward in my settings it shows the printer with "Driver is Unavailable" and nothing will print. Both my wife's PC and all of our iPhones/iPads have no issues printing so I know it is connected properly and functional. The only device having an issue is my PC. I have removed the printer and reinstalled it multiple times with the same result. I have also downloaded and installed the newest drivers available from Epson for this printer but somehow my computer does not seem to be able to find or recognize them. A support request has been sent to Epson but so far any suggestions from their automated response system have not be successful.

USB Flash Drive is corrupted and not readable
I have a corrupted USB drive and now I can't access anything on it. I don't care about the files on it now. I would like to know is there a way to UN-corrupt it in your tools. I would just like to be able to use it. It's a pretty new flash drive - only used a few times. I think I killed it when I pulled it out after it gave me a warning. I wasn't able to get the warning to go away.
Thanks.
Paul

My mouse freezes, lags which was not doing in the past
I am a long time professional and I am actually quite tech savvy. I use the computer very very clean (obsessive level) But my mouse started to lag recently. I have downloaded Auslogics Pro (thats how we met) Even though I liked the software, it didnt solve the problem.
My laptop is Dell Vostro with i7 and 8GB Ram. Fairly new one (less than 1 year) But even with a simple operation (like opening Skype) it starts to level up fan noise and mouse starts to flicker, lag from time to time.
I formated everything on my computer (because this was not the case until very recently) but even that didnt help.
What can be the reason?

Неизвестная музыка в наушниках
Когда сижу в наушниках в одном ухе тихо играет музыка. Пробовал закрывать все приложения, смотреть в микшере громкости - проблему не нашел. Прибавление звука системы звук музыки не прибавляет. Музыка явно не из моего плейлиста. Наушники подключены по проводу. Что это может быть и как это можно исправить?
