Microsoft no longer letting users opt-out of Windows 10 upgrade


 Microsoft no longer letting users opt-out of Windows 10 upgrade

Microsoft forces Windows 10 down Windows 7/8.1 users throat with mandatory update

Microsoft is virtually pushing Windows 10 down the Windows 7/8.1 user throat it seems. If you haven’t already updated your computer to Windows 10, then prepare yourself for more aggressive update notifications that no longer give you the ability to opt-out.
Many users have reported that they are being barraged with incessant popups that inform them their Windows 10 upgrade will be installed in one hour. Earlier, Windows 7/8.1 users could opt-out of such process but now there is no longer an option to opt-out of upgrading altogether, ZDNet reports.

he fact that Microsoft wants you to upgrade to Windows 10 come whatever may is not lost when not even GWX Control Panel, a third-party tool that lets you manage or sidestep such updates, is not able to do so according to the app’s creator, Josh Mayfield.
If you are seeing either of the above two screens, exactly as they appear here, GWX Control Panel is not yet able to help you,” writes Mayfield, “although I am looking into whether it’s possible to fix these things through software. I do not have any recommendations at the moment, though, unfortunately.”We had reported back in September that Microsoft was forcing Windows 7/8.1 users to upgrade to Windows 10 and also issued a patch that was snooping on Windows 7/8.1 users. The update which is bulky 6GB in size, was being downloaded to users computers even when some users had preferred to stick with Windows 7/8.1 in view of the snooping fears associated with Windows 10.
With the latest forced notifications, it seems Microsoft is hell bent on making Windows 10 the operating system of all Windows users against their wishes.

How To Stop Chrome From Killing Your Computer


How To Stop Chrome From Killing Your Computer

There was a time when I loved my Chrome browser very much, but from the first day of my blogging life, when I had to open lots of tabs to see different websites and multitask, I started realizing that this browser would kill my PC one day. Also, after seeing people’s negative reaction towards Chrome browser whenever we wrote something about it, I convinced myself that my opinions were right. This is a no denying fact that Chrome Browser is a RAM killer.
After searching a lot on the internet, I couldn’t find a single thing that could save my PC from the wrath of Chrome. So I switched to Firefox. Firefox is a great browser but if you wish to open lots of tabs, it hangs badly and the problem is still the same. Recently, I stumbled upon with this extension called The Great Suspender and I think I am in love with my Chrome Browser again.


The Great Suspender is an easy-to-use tool. You just need to download and install the extension from Play Store. Once installed, you can set the time after which you want to suspend the tab. Tabs which are not in use will be suspended once crossed that time limit, which will again be activated when you click anywhere on the page.

You can also set the list of websites that you don’t want to be suspended even after the time limit you set earlier. Also, you are all free to remove any site from whitelist.

If you were a regular Chrome user in past, this extension is worth trying and it’s possible that you would start loving your Chrome browser again.

How To Prevent Your Computer From Overheating

How To Prevent Your Computer From Overheating


An overheating computer spells trouble. You would want your girlfriend to be smoking hot but trust me, neither you want your computer to be smoking, nor hot. Yes, we are talking about computer overheating problem.
The cooling system of the computer comprising of the fan, heat sinks, vents etc. forms one of the most essential components of your device. A malfunctioning one can cause heat to build up inside, thereby damaging and slowly eating up the life of sensitive components such as the motherboard. These days everyone is having overheating problems with their systems, and asking for solutions. Besides shortening the life span, overheating also causes your PC to slow down and since in the world of computing, the slow and steady only ends up cursing at the screen and raising his hands in utter dismay, I am pretty much sure that you would be keen to avoid that.

Symptoms of PC Overheating:

Overheating-Symptoms

Placing your hand on the computer only to retract it immediately exclaiming “Ouch Hot!! Hot!!! “, sure is one sign that it is overheating. But besides that overheating may cause the system to stop unexpectedly, display random Blue Screen of Death/Protection Fault messages, shutting down or restarting on its own. It may also lead the fan to spin faster to dissipate the heat being generated thereby making it louder and noisy.

Causes and Cures of Overheating:

Ventilation

Just like the radiator of a car prevents the engine from overheating, the computer has been provided with fans and cooling vents to maintain the flow of cool and hot air in the system. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they function as the lungs of the computer and you really don’t want to be messing around with them. It is the lack of proper ventilation that is a major cause of overheating. To maintain proper ventilation you should:
  • Never place your laptop on a soft surface such as a pillow, a mattress or even your lap as it would sink in and block the vent, which would be a perfect recipe for overheating. Rather try to place it upon a hard, sturdy and flat surface.
  • Try to provide some elevation beneath the laptop. You could probably place a book underneath it or buy a laptop stand (Although I wouldn’t say it is absolutely necessary to buy one. But if you have some extra cash in your pocket, it wouldn’t hurt to buy one). By doing so, you allow a lot more air to flow beneath the laptop leading to efficient dismissal of heat.
  • Ensure clearance of about 4-5 inches around each vent.
  • Also remember never to leave your laptop turned on before placing it in your bag or briefcase. This would cause the heat to accumulate in one place and thus cause the laptop to overheat.

Dust

Dust is the mother of all overheating problems and your enemy number one. Dust and debris clog the air vents therefore impeding the air flow. Accumulation of dust and lint over the fan causes it to work harder and become noisy as a result. A layer of this filth which acts as an insulator, covering other heat generating parts such as the RAM and the Hard Disk can also be a cause of overheating.
  • All you need to do is the little housekeeping (or it turns out, computerkeeping in this case) task of maintaining cleanliness. By using a can of compressed air or a slight damp cloth ensure that air vents are clean. Cleaning can turn out to be quite a tardy task if you own a Desktop PC but it is definitely for the better of your PC. But I would advise readers to be very careful while cleaning and in case you do not feel confident, head over to an expert.
