When you insert the CD player, does it shows on my computer? If it doesn't, try using another CD or better still, return since it's news

Hello guys

My windows 8.1 pc only charges my android phones, I can't transfer files from phone to pc and vice versa.

I also tried toggling the usb options on the android devices,but it doesn't move from "Charge only" to "File transfer" option on my phones.

I've tried several original cables that came with the phones,yet the problem still persists.

Although I recently downgraded the OS from Win 10 to 8.1,that's when I started having this issue.

If you check closely u will see the triangle line on the screen, shows your screen is bad and you need to replace it.

Hello
Before I go ahead with my suggestions, chances are

1 . You've tried the "turn on metred connection" and you probably didn't find it... ;DNo! I'm so sure you didn't find it

2. You've also "disabled" auto-updates. Why is the word, disabled in quotes? Because that main download still goes on in win 10.

*let's now move on...

You're going to try one last thing- [b] tweaking the registry[b/]


So, here we go >

Press Win key+R > in the run box (I need a better name grin), type "regedit" without the quotes. This opens the registry editor.

In the registry editor, Navigate this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost

Right click "DefaultMediaCost key" > select "Permissions" > this takes you to the security tab.

On the security tab, click "advanced" button. Click the "change" button next to "Trustedinstsller".

In the "enter object name" box, type Administrators, click the "Check Names" button to make sure you're typing the correct object.Click OK.

On the "Advanced Security Settings for DefaultMediaCost" , check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects"Click Apply > OK.

On "Permissions for DefaultMediaCost" , select the "Administrators group" , be sure to check the "allow Full Control" box . click Apply > OK.

On the DefaultMediaCost key, there are different entries, including those for 3G, 4G, Default, Ethernet, and WiFi with their default data values: 1 or 2.

data value 1 means that the connection type is non-metered,
data value of 2 means that the connection type is metered.
Double-click the Ethernet DWORD (32-bit) Value key, and change the value to 2.

*Do same for Wi-Fi.
>>>restart your laptop <<<

This explanation I just gave is Modified from an article on windowscentral treating the same issue. I must say it saved a lot of my Internet data.

So before you contemplate a downgrade, consider this registry tweak.

*Cheers*

Click on windows key+R and type in msconfig

Locate startup and remove the tick on applications you already installed on your laptop e.g Adobe reader, chrome etc. And apply then restart your laptop.

What's the issue?
My computer screen sometimes used to b blinking like something is wrong somewhere.
Sometimes when you minimize a software you cannot re open it.

Recently when working on a simple c program, the computer started acting up(that is doing the above program) and when i try compiling the program, it gave out wrong output and the codes are very much correct...

What could be the problem

The blinking screen, does it occur anytime you try to adjust the laptop position or when you open /close it?

And for the other prob, how much RAM do you have installed on laptop?

I'm using Hp15 Laptop. I checked device manager and I saw "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller-0100(Microsoft)".

Does it mean the driver is installed?
