Oooh, forgot to ask, how did you all survive the hurricane?
Well, yes, where to secure one of those magically endowed miner’s picks that are well formed up to hack stuff out, invariably there is a sporting chance to find more lasting remedy from deep down in that cold, dark web, and with the commencement of such enterprises, always the jitters. 😛
Had a chat about it with a sharp-eyed lean looking specimen in the local ISP shop, it was confirmed he had a good grip of the under the hood, yet no intention of blurting out anything untoward, in case someone nearby, or even me, turned out to be a stool pigeon for Big Brother. 😛
Haven’t played much Oblivion on this rig in the year so far, thumbs up for a happy continuation in 2024 then. 🙂
Nothing too major! We did have a couple of trees down even though we didn’t get much wind. It was weird. No power outage though it did flicker once (my dehumidifier turns off when the power flickers and doesn’t turn back on automatically; I didn’t notice it was off until hours later).
Yeah, I haven’t played Oblivion in ages. I really should. There are now rumors of a remastered version being under development. Only time will tell if they have any merit, though 🙂
A very rocky beginning on the W11 rig, firstly the power cord into the UPS got disconnected somehow, which prompted premature shutdown/power off to the PC. Had no idea it was that, until the PC speaker alarm rang twice. The UPS also supplies the NAS which also lost power to the degree that data scrubbing initiated.
After the power issue was resolved, really weird things started after the ethernet cord was (belatedly) plugged in. There was internet available for the Chrome browser, but the system settings had the Ethernet as disabled, and there were other messages relating to absence of internet in settings. The idea was to access the NAS drive to restore some settings, no way Ray, as the drives were not detected, even though Windows Discovery was turned on. The event log did report a 7023 for the Discovery Resource Publication service. Performed an internet troubleshoot, and after a long while it reported no issues. Then 2 or 3 minutes later, Windows suddenly found the ethernet, and all the NAS drives were available! At first it looked as if the PC had a wifi chip with the internet using traffic from that, would explain the mix-up, nothing in Settings or Device Manager though.
As a sidenote, On W10 it’s really simple to disable and re-enable the ethernet, not so easy on W11 apparently. And a few errors in the event logs, DNScache 7011 timeouts, SysMain service 7023 unknown authentication, and Audiosrv service 7000 logon failure followed by 7038. The services of Dr. Google required! 😛
Cripes! That’s not good! Have you run the Windows repair command-line tools? Something may have gotten corrupted in the process of recovery
Yeah, each new version of Windows makes various settings and tools harder to find which is really annoying. I miss the old Administrative Tools folder in the Start Menu way back in W7 🙁
