    Set up computer wrong, not sure where to go


    We got our son a new laptop for middle school. When he and I were setting it up, there was an option to set it up for school/work so we did that. The prompts weren’t clear and I thought this would just give him access to his school stuff in Treams, email, office, etc. I wasn’t entirely sure so we explored the other way, but it said we either have to login to a personal microsoft account or a work/school account. Logging in with his school account but setting up the computer as a personal device wasn’t possible, so we set it up as a school computer. Now there are three users on it: him and two

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages

  4. Set up computer wrong, not sure where to go

    Settings search in wrong language (and nothing else)

    I recently switched my system's display language from English (US) to Japanese, and then back. Everything is normal, except when I search for settings in the Settings window or the Start menu, which is still in Japanese. I have restarted multiple times, and done everything on this page and others:

    How to change system language on Windows 10 | Windows Central

    Here are my language settings, region, etc:

    And yet...

    Set up computer wrong, not sure where to go 323872d1616288945t-settings-search-wrong-language-nothing-else-settings5.png


    I've even tried uninstalling the Japanese language pack, but no dice: the search remains in Japanese, as though the programs were renamed or something.

    Any ideas? My version number is 20H2 build 19042.867.

    The problem has solved itself, but I don't really know why. Here's what I can tell anyone experiencing the same problem. I followed the steps from this site: Windows Search Results in Wrong Language – sumselkawumsel . I'd done all of these things before and they didn't work, but for one reason or another, this time they did?

    1. Open Control Panel (“Windows Settings”)
    2. Open “Time & Language”
    3. Click “Language” (on the left)
    4. Click “Administrative Language Settings” (on the right)
    5. A popup opened up, called “Region”. In the Tab “Administrative” and te field “Welcome screen and new user accounts”, click “Copy Settings”.
    6. Tick the boxes “Welcome screen and system accounts” and “new user accounts”.
    7. Click OK and reboot.
    8. In language settings, set the “old” language (Germany in my case) as display language, sign out of windows, sign in again.
    9. Set English as display language, sign out of windows and sign in again.

    It may be that the solution only works if you do the steps in this exact order, I can't be sure. Also, when the computer asks to sign out automatically after switching the language, I said No both times, waited a few seconds, and then logged out via the Start Menu, which might be important.

    There's really no logic to it, all I can say is to give it a shot... maybe multiple shots.
