Nevermind, to any readers concerned, I found the answer myself: You have to use regedit with administrator privileges and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList there, look for the current profile image path of - in my case - the account that's...

Dear fellow Anandtech forum users, I have experienced a massive problem installing this year's Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update 1709 (10.0.16299.64) and am in urgent need of your help! Since spring 2016, I am on a Toshiba laptop with 64-bit Windows 10 and which has the computer name...

Well, I just followed those steps, but now when I log into the new account the taskbar does not work (start menu doesnt open up) and if I click onto any folder on the desktop, I get the "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to...

Some things arent working so well anymore in my current User Profile (it is a local account with administrator privileges) so I decided to create a new one and basically make that my main one, transfer all data over and then delete this one. Now, the way I figured it, for the contents of my...

I created mine when I first unboxed my laptop and booted it (it asked for my information and since I didnt remember my microsoft account credentials at the time, I set up my account as a local one) I initially created hers a week or so later while logged into my local account (has admin...

I tried another permutation, which is to NOT make her account an admin account but a standard account instead, so did that, logged in, logged out and back into mine, and same situation....except this time the calculator, alarm and maps worked but the store did not and I still get the "remote...

In the meanwhile I have tried several permutations, always using my restore point as starting position. 1) tried it with her microsoft account: logged in for the first time, watched the greeting text, then looked around in her desktop, everything checks out, her apps were working, logged out...

I bought a new laptop for myself and my mom wants to occasionally use it too, so we need two accounts for my stuff and her stuff. When I first set up the PC, I set up a local account (administrator privileges) under just my first name, just like things used to be in Windows 7 and prior. Then...

Well I got a Full HD 15.4" laptop, an IPS panel to boot, for €599 which is around $680 from a site as mainstream as amazon, compared to cheaper electronics-only places like newegg.

Any ideas when the M versions of the 10 series cards will release? Did the M versions of the 9 series cards release with significant delay compared to the desktop Pc cards?

Okay so on the first day (I bought this laptop just a couple days ago) I had this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmsAj8jtjXg ...but I think that was just some glitch when Windows was updating a lot of stuff and the Intel HD 520 crashed. Ever since I have NEVER had this happen again...

Thanks for the input guys. I will playtest the laptop over the next couple days (actually browsing and other stuff might be more relevant than playing games because in the latter case the intel HD is not used and the nvidia 930m kicks in) and I'll let you know if it happens again. I'll also try...

So I bought a new laptop from amazon and unboxed it today. It comes with Windows 10 pre-installed, no extra discs or anything; anyway, when I turned the laptop on the initial setup commenced, and then once that finished I was at the desktop. One of my first actions was to check out whether...

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Toshiba-Satellite-L50-C-275-Notebook-Review.160158.0.html almost the same model (they didnt review the same one)

Well thanks for the input guys, I finally decided for the Toshiba because according to notebookcheck the ASUS has a really mediocre TN-panel in terms of cd/m² (around 200) and contrast (465:1) despite being matte compared to the reflective IPS panel of the Toshiba which has around 290cd/m² and a...
