How to clear out/remove COM ports that are in use?
I've observed an issue that shows up on Wlndow 7 and Window 11... Both are of the Professional types...
I use many computer programs and they use a lot of hardware items too... For one example I have a private observatory, and my telescope movements and its Dome movements "plus more" convert a USB slots into a multible differenet COM port uses in that busy operations... Because of this need,,, USB slots are often found jumping around a lot within their ID numbers... My trouble is both of these softwares seem to like to collect COM? into a "InUse" classification which cause port numbers to be used up and remain behind unnecessarily... Some softwares don't like high Port Number too... I am trying to find a way to clear them OUT... It appears CCLEANER or Auslogic routines don't have a way to clearn these items out... I just spent a few hours tring to find a way to clean them... No luck so far! Maybe you can point me to something I missed in my license copy of Auslogics BoostSpeed 14... I have attach a image of the pathway to where this issue shows up to help you see what I see... This should be a garbage cleaning item that would be very automatic for end users... Because of this issue, COM port use get into trouble when they get left behind... I have looked a lot into the device manager within Windows whatever with a desire to find a cleaning button... But no such luck...
So, I am looking for a way to clear them off of several computers... I did not even see a manual method... Hum....
It appears when they are not used, they don't seem to fade away on their own... "Not nice!" I tried to re-boot and other efforts without success... I spent hours today trying to find a way... "I am Stuck!" I now think this is a very nasty issue not figure out by Windows for many generations of their softwares... I have had over the years operational issues in setup of my observatory, and this is the reason why... "I need a fix!" Mayber there is a button somewhere that need pushing? I will be reading my books nest...
Some software requires exact knowledge of how the port is define wtih its number and they don't like changeds, or the software comes up with an error message or merely gets locks up... Sometimes the third party software merely jump to another number and then things sort-of keeps on working... All this does is builds up surplus InUse COM port numbers...
Help! As I used my first question ever on your site... Please put a smile on my face by giving a easy answer that will solve this trouble...
Thanks

Clearing Privacy History issues
Every day, I start the day, running Advanced System Care, then Glary Utilities, then WiseCare 365, then Auslogics Bootspeed 13, the I reboot and then run ASC again. I have been doing this now, daily, for over 3 years (updating as they are made public). 1st run of ASC... I find privacy issues and then delete them. With Glary's... I run (in Advanced) their "Erase history" under "Privacy" multiple times until I get "Zero" issues found (sometimes up to 15 times to get a zero response). Then I run WiseCare, multipl times (usually around 6 times (main page) and then Under "System Cleaner" I usually only run each section once... sometimes though I run the "Advanced Cleaner" a few times, each time returning a different number of files found and cleaned... but never getting a "zero" found result. NEXT is Auslogics Bootspeed 13 (AB13) I run the main screen, cure the findings... and then I run the "privacy" scan again... and I have done this up to 30 times in a row. The important thing hereis... each time returns a number of files found that is different than the previous time AND there is no pattern to the numbers returned either!
Looking at the past, the Neuroquila virus (circa around 1995) was the first (as far as I know) "polymorphing" virus. It created a "sacrificial virus" to "feed" any existing antivirus program on a machine so that while the antivirus was repairing the created virus the real virus could then attack the antivirus, making it, in the future, always retrun a "no virus found" message to the user. Next, as I recall... comes the concept of "nesting" where when you remove one thing another is created as that one is eliminated.
the above are just 2 examples of why I could be getting the results, daily, that I get BUT... I have stopped these programs after just doing an initial run of each and I have, many, many times stopped them short of doing an all out cleaning and I have done many "all out cleanings" (where I run each program multiple times) and there is a large difference in my end performance of the machine. PS... I do this on all 3 of the machines I have running and NO... I am not making money with my computers... I am a 71 year old man who's retired and od this for cheap thrills and to prove I haven't yet lost my sanity... thank you very much.
Sooooo.... I'd like to buy your program... but only if there's a component in it that let's me state how many times each component within it will run before it stops running.... cause sitting here and re-running these programs for over an hour everyday... just to keep my computer operating at a decent speed (2-I.7... 16 GB Mem, 500 GB SSD, 1- I.5 ... 16GB Mem, 500 GB SSD).
What I want is something I can configure to run multiple passes of the different compnents within your software so I can set it and then go do something else while it scours, re-scourts and rescours again as many times as I want it to.
Cool?

как исправить ошибку Microsoft Office SDXhelper.exe ?
Переодически выдает ошибку, я так понимаю это связанно с каким-то файлом отвечающим за обновление Майкрософт Офиса. Появляется не так, чтобы часто. Может 1 раз при перезапуске компьютера. Как это можно было бы убрать? Переустановить офис, наверное...
PC cannot detect any sound drivers
Hi! I've used boostspeed for maybe a year or so, and recently driver updater. Somewhere since driver updater my computer has been off. Also, it should be mentioned that my computer will no longer even work with driver updater. Driver updater turned my computer into a nonfunctional brick, that couldn't even get past boot up. It took me a long time to reset it back to where it was. The driver updater program no longer works on my computer. I tried running it 10 times, each time driver updater program crashes and sends you guys a report.
Somewhere in there something uninstalled my "conexant and real hd audio drivers." Sounds simple enough for me to just go download and reinstall, but ive done that several times and they never show up. I have tried manually downloading and installing, and also let HP installer attempt to install the drivers. But they still don't even show up anywhere on my computer, not on C drive, not under "conexant" file (where there is just USB driver).
I have tried doing system restore like 4 times to put the computer back to an earlier date (when my audio still worked), still no drivers show up. Even my computer will say after the attempted restore point process, "failed to restore system."
So my computer has audio via bluetooth, but not through the headphone jack line in or the laptop speakers. I work in audio and video, so this is an issue. I am literally 3 days late in completing my video projects because i get get sound on this laptop... and getting sound via bluetooth won't cut it with the delay and wrong speaker connections.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100+ apps that i've installed on my computer for video and audio, software keys, licensing programs, etc... amongst others. It took me around 2 weeks to install all of those. I do not want to have to do a complete reinstall of windows to get this my computer to work. Can you please help me figure out what I need to do to get this thing fixed? Any help is appreciated!

Ноутбук не включается без подключения к сети переменного тока
Ноутбук не включается без подключения к сети переменного тока и выключается при её отключении.
Обновил всевозможные драйвера, обновил биос(правда теперь появилась надпись при запуске "Checking media...").
Проверил состояние батареи через консоль(часть отчета прикрепил файлом) и там осташееся емкость 12 октября остановилось на одном значении, т.е. батарея не заряжается и не разряжается.
Что делать в данной ситуации, чтобы ноутбуком вновь можно было пользоваться автономно?
