Background Images On Multiple Displays Changing Randomly
Sep 5, 2015I have installed Win 10 from scratch (no update). I have 3 monitors. I have created a theme with a different background image on each monitor. After a random time, the three images are suddenly mixed up, image 1 appears on monitor 2 or three, etc. When I click on another theme and then on my own theme, the images are restored to the correct monitor.
My PC is part of a domain. Some buttons on the themes page that I had in win 8.1 are now gone, so I am unable to select things like slideshow etc. In fact, beneath the window with the themes, I have no buttons at all.
Some settings in the registry that I can use in order to prohibit the changing of the backgrounds? I tried Group Policy but that didn't work out.
Installation :: Black Screen After Install / Not Detecting 2nd Monitor / Cannot Use 1st
Sep 2, 2015It seems like it is not detecting my second HDMI monitor. I did see that this was an issue previously resolved, but my predicament is a bit different. I use my second monitor as the primary due to the laptop monitor not working. As it is, I have been sitting for close to an hour on a black screen due to my main monitor not being picked up and no way to visually walk through to make it my primary again... If that is even the only problem. Are there any ways I can switch to my main monitor (2nd monitor) worth no visual representation whatsoever?

Asrock 970 Not Detecting HDD
Aug 16, 2015First here's my rig:
Mobo: asrock 970 pro3 r2.0
CPU: amd fx6300 not oc
Gpu: vapor x r9 280x 3gb
Ram: 16gb (8gb vengeance pro, 8gb ripjaws 1600mhz)
Psu: corsair RM1000
Storage: Seagate barracuda 2tb, Seagate pipeline 500gb, Kingston now ssd 120gb.
Problem: okay so I recently upgraded my rig from a 7970 to a 280x. I had a 550w antec psu at the time and my pc shut off by itself a few times which stuffed with my windows 10 install. It was saying "bootmgr is missing. So I went to reinstall windows and it shut off again halfway through, I decided it was due to lack of power so I recently bought the rm1000. I have hooked everything up and was about to do an install of windows 7 but now not one of my drives are showing up. Not in the bios either.
I have tried different cables, different ports, the cables work with an optical drive and it shows up. I have tried updating the bios and cleaning cos. Replaced the battery. Is it possible that a psu can kill all three drives without any visible sign? I hope not.

View 2 RepliesInstallation :: Multiple Devices Upgraded With Same MS Account
Aug 5, 2015I have upgraded 3 devices from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (Home)
DeviceDefault OSUpgraded toHP LaptopWindows 8.1 64 BitWindows 10 Home 64 BitHP Desktop PCWindows 8.1 64 BitWindows 10 Home 64 BitDell Venue 8 ProWindows 8.1 32 BitWindows 10 Home 32 Bit
All three devices are logged in with same MS account.
After the upgrade I just noticed that all 3 devices have same Product Key and almost similar Product ID
i.e.
Product Key: AB1DE-FG2IJ-KL3NO-PQ4ST-UV5XY
Product ID: 00123-10000-00000-XY123
Except the last 3 digits in Product ID ( underlined ) everything is exact same on all three devices.
Before upgrade, all devices were using the OEM Product Keys came with them and everything was different. Now it is all the same. I do understand that I am not supposed to get a new Product key for each device or installation, it is a free upgrade that MS will validate online on each installation using some sort of Hardware Hash/ Identity from my devices. But still...
If I now perform clean install on all of, hopefully it shouldn't cause any problem, or would it?MS is giving same Product Key, Product ID to all my devices because they are attached to same MS account, or is MS giving same Product Key/ ID to all who are upgrading from a specific type of Source Windows Version and Edition?Say same Product Key/ ID is only because of same MS account to all 3 devices, suppose I upgrade a fourth device, but before upgrade switch to Local Account, will MS still give me same Product Key/ ID?I install fresh Windows quite a lot of times, like to play around and mess around a lot, when I have time. Sometimes even change (experiment with) RAM, HDD, SSD, and even processor. My concern is that I might lose Windows 10 validity.
Installation :: How To Install On Multiple Hard Drives
May 12, 2015I am wondering what the best way is to install windows 10 on multiple harddrives, so that the OS is my SSD, the programs are on a HDD, and the user files are on another HDD. Any way to do this and it has worked successfully could you say that the windows 7 method works.
View 9 RepliesPC No Longer Detecting GTX 970 And Second Monitor
Jul 29, 2015So ive seen this problem in the beta versions, but no fix for the full release. PC is no longer detecting my GTX 970 and my second monitor is also undetected.
I installed the win 10 driver from then nvidia sight. For a short while the second monitor works as it should, but then turns off again.
The graphics driver fails to install on all attempts to update.
Installation :: How To Create Multiple Bootable Sata SSDs
Sep 1, 2015I am building a new PC with no internal storage. I am installing a 2.5" SATA dock in one 3.5" bay and one 3.5" SATA dock in a second 5.25" bay.
My intention is to have one SSD for my work PC on Windows 10, one SSD for my son for his gaming on Windows 7 (some of his games are not Win 10 compatible yet), and perhaps a third SSD for playing around with Linux installs, etc.
The 3.5" dock will have a 1TB HDD for backup.
From what I have read, since these drives will not technically be external. (plugged into the SATA on the mainboard through the dock, and not via USB or e-sata.), that their creation and use could be problematic if I use the UEFI boot system, or secure boot for that matter.
So.... I am looking for a methodology which I should use to setup these boot SSDs which will give me the least problems and management issues.
A side related question. I have a boot SSD with Win 7 home premium that is eligible for Win 10 upgrade. It currently resides in my Dell Alienware x-51 R1 system, but I want to move it to the new system as the drive my son will be using.
Will there be any issues in moving the drive to a new system architecture?If/when he can upgrade to Win 10, will there be any issues with that since the architecture has changed from the system of origin?Do I need to backup/reformat/restore the drive in order to get it to boot properly in the above mentioned docking bay system?Since only one drive could be used at any one time. In your opinion, do you think I need multiple Windows Licenses?
Installation :: Multiple Recovery Partitions - Drive Space Was Low
Mar 5, 2016 I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro with an upgraded Windows 10 installed. Always perform Windows Update but did not pay attention too closely. When the drive space was low and started looking a little bit closer, I found out that I have several Recovery Partitions. From Disk Management display, from left to right are the partitions:
500MB EFI | 40 MB OEM | 490 MB Recovery | C: OS 22.8 GB | 450 MB Recovery | 4.75 GB Recovery
The problem is I do not know which partition that Windows 10 actually created as its Recovery Partition. I do know that the 4.75 GB partition is my original Dell Venue 8 Pro Recovery Partition. Which one can I remove to allow the expansion of my C drive? What gives?
Drivers/Hardware :: Not Detecting 2nd Monitor?
Dec 11, 2015I have a dual monitor setup. I have 2 AOC e2252V monitors that would work fine on Windows 7. I have all updated drivers. I've checked the internet for multiple solutions but everyone's problem seemed to be that they didnt extend their displays. My problem is that both windows 10 and my graphics card are not detecting it. They are both connected to the DVI-D connections on my MSI R9 390 graphics card (installed with the latest drivers from 11/30/2015 on the MSI website.) One monitor is hooked up from VGA through a DVI-D adapter to connect to my graphics card. I assumed this wasn't the problem because I did the same thing on my previous card where it worked just fine. I checked to see if one of my DVI-D connections were faulty on the card, but my one monitor hooked up directly through a DVI-D cable (no adapter) works on both of them. If I hook up my TV through HDMI connection, it will detect my TV. I wonder if this is a problem with Windows 10, MSI R9 390, or the adapter. [URL]

View 3 RepliesInstallation :: Hard Disk Mirroring On Multiple Work Stations
Oct 13, 2015Currently we run 5 workstations on win7/8 on old hardware. In the near future, we want to migrate to windows 10 - and use the free upgrade offer from ms.Problem is, we'll get new hardware for all workstations. So the plan is, to build the new hardware. install win7/8 on every new hardware and use the free upgrade on the new hardware. After that, a new clean-install will be made.the clue is, besides the OS it'll take very much time to install all 3rd party software on the machines.To skip this work, we would like to duplicate the harddisk after the setup of the whole system is done. This should be possible from driver-side, because the hardware will be identical.
But now comes the win10 licence question :-) I know win10 will recognice the hardware and validate the licence due to the win7 upgrade. but what will happen if i switch the harddisk to the new system?or i can try to keep the system unlicenced (no network connection. Best way?) until i mirror the harddisk. There is no internet to update the other parts of the system ...

Drivers/Hardware :: System Not Detecting Slot 1 With 4GB RAM
Oct 29, 2015My laptop came installed with a 4GB RAM in slot2. The other slot has been free. Today I bought another 4GB module with same specifications and after inserting to slot1, it did not get detected.
I swapped the modules, and the new RAM is functioning perfectly. However, the RAM in slot1 is not getting detected. I have installed CPU-Z, but it too did not detect slot1.
I have also run a memory test, but it did not detect any errors. The BIOS is also showing only 4GB!
I need my laptop to have 8GB RAM.

Installation :: Stuck In Suspend Mode - Computer Would Turn Off And On Again Multiple Times
Aug 9, 2015I started my windows 10 update around 10:00 last night. For awhile it seemed stuck in suspend mode (black screen, monitor light orange, computer light still on etc) and I was worried but eventually I got the update screen and it went from 30% to 56% in around 30 minutes or so.The bottom screen said my computer would turn off and on again multiple times. But then later it went back to the "suspend mode" again right before I fell asleep and now 9 hours later it's still stuck like this!! No update screen no nothing. Just sitting is a suspend mode (I think!) And not allowing me to do anything.

Cannot Duplicate Displays After Upgrade
Sep 3, 2015I have a Dell XPS 15 L502X + IN2020M_Digital monitor connected via laptop’s HDMI port. Graphics is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I can no longer Duplicate the displays.However, PC Screen Only, Extend, and Second Screen Only will work.In Device Manager I have uninstalled both the IN2020M and the Generic PnP Monitor and restarted. They were added back but no change.I basically confirmed that the monitor is not the problem because I also can't Duplicate the displays when a projector is connected via HDMI.
View 1 RepliesHow To Optimize Graphic Displays
Oct 22, 2015Recently upgraded to Win10 pro 64bit. I have an ASUS HD7770-1GD5 video card running both a 26in HD wide monitor as well as a 17in square non HD monitor. Duplicating the screen content on both is what I need. Somehow I had this working great in Win 7, but I must have something set wrong, as the content on both monitors now is indeed the same, but the square screen displays in landscape mode which makes it difficult to see. The clarity of the wide screen monitor is much less than optimal as well. What are the correct settings for this type of setup? I have the widescreen connected via HDMI cable and the older square LCD monitor is connected from the DVI output to a VGA adapter for the monitor.
View 1 RepliesCustomization :: Use Different Taskbar Locations On Different Displays
Aug 7, 2015When I first upgraded, the taskbar on my first display was located on the left side of the display and the taskbar on my second display was located on the bottom. I liked this. But I wanted to see how I'd like having both on left hand side. I went into taskbar properties. `Taskbar location on screen` was set to `custom` and I changed it to `left`.
I decided I didn't like this and wanted to change it back. But `custom` no longer appeared in this drop down and I couldn't find any other option to change them separately. Is there any way to change it back? Perhaps a specific registry key?
