I've got my NUC MiniPC (NUC11PAHI5) running Windows 10, hooked up via HDMI to my TV - an Android TV (branded 'Motorola' in my country, but going by firmware, deviceId etc, most likely a rebranded Skyworth) which supports 4K HDR. When I wake it from sleep mode, it displays static, with loud...

I run my Windows 10 tower with a dual-display setup with HDTV as primary monitor run through my RXV385 home theatre receiver (HDMI), and desktop extended to a secondary screen. On my 15 y.o. old Pioneer Receiver (which recently died), if I switched to another HDMI device (say, HD cable box)...

Does anyone know if there are any decent but beginner friendly animation/drawing software out there that would work with the Surface Pro 6 that don't cost $200+ to download? My youngest would like to test the waters of animating things on the Surface but I can't seem to find anything at a...

I might have asked before, but I'm going to shoot at it again. I'm looking for something (has to be free) that's comparable to Windows Media Player. I'm not interested in doing videos; I rarely use my computer for that. I need it for music as I have probably close to 40,000 songs on here. I want...

To avoid further derailing of the "Looking for a Reliable Inexpensive Blu Ray Player" thread I figured I would branch off here. I've been trying [without much success] to get Atmos content to play via my Windows 10 HTPC for awhile now. I have the latest build and everything in my playback...

In 2006, when Apple switched to Intel CPUs, I began my move to the Apple ecosystem. Several Macbook Pros and iPhones later, I'm still neck deep in it. However I wanted a desktop PC. The current crop of Mac desktops are aging, and honestly, I wanted to see if I could try my hand at PC gaming...

It's been happening on and off for ages, but it's decided to go crazy tonight. I rebooted my computer, opened up Media Player, and it won't even show me half of my music. I close it down and it won't reopen. I rebooted and it does the same thing again. No matter how many times I click the icon...

My son left his computer when he graduated last year, a nice Windows 7 machine I'd like to sell locally. He has it password protected, and I can't even get in to restore it without his password. I hit F8, go to repair, and it prompts for password. I don't have a Win 7 CD to restore from either...

I have a Home Theater with a 75" TV mounted between 2 windows. My problem is that there is virtually no room to mount anything inside the frame (see photo) and I do not want to use something that will cover or block the coved oak trim. Anyone have a good solution as to how I can solve this...

I woke up about 3AM with a screen I've never laid eyes on before telling me my computer would not restart. I let it check the computer twice; it kept giving the same message. It then came up with the standard options of System Restore, Command Prompt, Image Recovery, etc. I tried twice with...

So I have a very unique temporary setup for my home theater. I currently run all my movies off of my computer (which performs all of the receiver's tasks). Before anyone tells me to go and buy an actual receiver, just let me say that that is my long-term plan, but for now my PC will have to...

Hi guys. Im in a bit of a pickle regarding my bedroom theater. I have a regular HD tv, no smart tv, and what i have done so far is just plugging in my laptop through HDMI, but i am getting tired of wireless mouse and keyboard in my bed and using my smartphone as mouse and keyboard + some other...

Every once in a while I get a wild hair from the boredom of using the same phone system (first I did the iphone thing from phone#1 till the 3S) now I'm all Android, but I'm always wanting to play with something new and different. We use Windows 10 at home (laptops) and I thought maybe trying...

I need backup software for my HTPC. I've done a little searching, and I'm confused. I want a simple tool to make a bootable clone of my boot drive. If my main drive fails or is corrupted, I can boot, have nominal functionality, and restore with a simple clone from the backup. On the Mac, this...

Hi I have a BASE HTPC from a now defunct Irish brand called DF Solutions. it;s hardwired into my NAS drive. Last week the windows o/s seemed to install an update and now when the machine is turned on it dipalys the following error messge: 16 bit ms_dos subsystem The NTVDM CPU has encountered an...
