Re: Help needed, frustrated about my new Win 10

I finally contacted Dell support and offered to replace with a new one.

But it is strange that, Dell instructed me to going through a diagnostic mechanism and reported that the pc has no hardware issue.

He suspected that the high ram issue is related to the apps I am running.

I told him that, I am using the same set of apps on a older machine on 2013, and it even cost fewer ram memory.

Then he suspected it may be related to logic board issue and suggested me to replace the logic board.

I said, if I wait for the logic board replacement, it may exceeded the 7day of return or replace requirement, then I request a replacement.

Subject: [win10] Help needed, frustrated about my new Win 10


Hi,

As my old pc has broken down all at a sudden, I bought a new Dell
desktop computer with

8GB ram

Intel 10 generation core i5

250G SSD and 1TB HDD


I found that my new computer will always run out of ram

I simply open a few apps like one firefox, several folders and a notepad ++

and my NVDA will soon became very unresponsive

According to resource monitor the physical袃ram is around 9x and virtual
ram is also 3xG

I have already manually increased the virtual ram, disabled possible
performance hindering default apps, etc, but the problem seemed not fixed.

Only today I have already manually forced turn off the computer because
of not responding nvda for 3 times or more, and this is only my third
day of using this new pc.

I feel really frustrated , do any one can give me any useful advice?

thanks,

William

Trying to put RAM that is several years old into a new Pc may not be a good idea at all. If you are buying a new PC now it most likely has DDR4 RAM I believe and if you put in DDR3 or even older it may or may not work, at best it may work but it could cause all sorts of problems.

The same goes for a hard drive, if you have an SSD which is maybe only 2 or 3 years old then OK, but if it's an actual mechanical hard drive you are not doing yourself a favour.

The only time you need a product key during a Windows 10 install is if you are installing on to a machine that has never, ever had Windows 10 loaded and activated on it in the past.

If the machine has had Windows 10 loaded and activated, the license will be fetched from Microsoft's servers.  Even if you install without an internet connection once the internet connection is established the license key will be fetched then.

Now, after having said the above, if we're talking about a virtually brand new system I would not try reinstalling Windows 10.  It certainly won't, and shouldn't, void any warranty but if you have something that is within the return window the less you do to it the easier it is to get a return for refund or replacement approved.

Re: A Small Question Regarding Latest Update of Windows 10

Brian Vogel
 

Unfortunately, I'm not trying to be funny.  It is appalling how resistant many members of this group are to doing web searches for simple questions.  And posting the same question, twice, in less than 2 days when the first had no takers does not endear one to the readership.  If someone knows, they'll answer the first time asked.

Anyone who wants to know more about the "Meet Now" feature, which includes its button, should choose the web search engine of their choosing and put in the following short set of search terms:

Windows 10 +"meet now"

When something is this new there are going to be very few end users who can answer anything about it, as it just came out.  I'm among those who know this feature strictly on the basis of what Joseph Lee had posted in a recent cumulative update announcement.  Those who have been running insider builds and the tech press are generally where one gets the best information on a brand, spankin' new feature.

There is this thing called a web search, which turns up more articles on the Meet Now button (directly linked to Skype) than I can count.  Joseph Lee gave the precise name of the button in a recent cumulative update announcement, making it very easy to search on "Meet Now" or "Meet Now button" on the web.

See:  https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-this-is-what-your-new-meet-now-taskbar-button-does-explains-microsoft/ 

My guess is that if you're not using Skype you won't ever see it and if you don't allow it to show on the taskbar you won't see it, either.

Using the Media Creation Tool would be best, but without preserving any
of the existing installation. Someone I trust in these matters once told
me that he always performs a complete reinstallation on a new machine to
eliminate all of the vendor-specific software that is installed, and to
ensure that the correct drivers are present. If you need any extra
drivers, they can be downloaded separately, although Windows 10 seems to
take care of those automatically.

Bill,

Are they absolutely positive that they're on Version 20H2? There was a recent update,

October 2020 cumulative update preview: KB4580364/build 19041(2).610 <https://win10.groups.io/g/win10/topic/october_2020_cumulative/77895427?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,20,77895427>

, that I've seen some believe was the 20H2 Feature Update.

What's coming back from the winver command for version and build numbers?

The only time you need a product key during a Windows 10 install is if you are installing on to a machine that has never, ever had Windows 10 loaded and activated on it in the past.

If the machine has had Windows 10 loaded and activated, the license will be fetched from Microsoft's servers.  Even if you install without an internet connection once the internet connection is established the license key will be fetched then.

Now, after having said the above, if we're talking about a virtually brand new system I would not try reinstalling Windows 10.  It certainly won't, and shouldn't, void any warranty but if you have something that is within the return window the less you do to it the easier it is to get a return for refund or replacement approved.

Respected friends, I’m using windows 10 version 2020 H2 build OS19042.610 with JAWS 2020.

The matter of fact is that I read that a meet now button is introduced with this update but I don’t find that button.

I have searched it everywhere but I failed to find it.

Can you help me?
