Hi I think my desktop and laptop may be infected with a virus - in both edge and chrome icons are appearing with discoloration (please see photo) - It is happening on the laptop as well as desktop. It's the youtube icon that is altered but some others are changed too - when hovering over the the other icons they appear normal. Apart from these discoloured icons all other computer functions seem ok. I've done a full scan with defender and malware bytes and they were both clear - can anyone recommend what next steps should be taken? EDIT: Forgot to say my laptop is running Windows 10 and desktop is running Windows 11.charles2200Jan 21, 2023Copper Contributor2.1KViews1like5CommentsAny updates on the Xbox Game Core?
The technology in Windows kernel or core, called Game Core. which lets PC users install the Same Xbox games on their Windows 10 systems. Microsoft tested this with the game State of Decay 1. but that's just it, no news for months. the Kernel of Windows 10 has seen lots of changes such as the Linux kernel being added to it and now the compatibility with Xbox kernel. I wish i could find a Microsoft docs about this feature but only 3rd party websites post about this, not sure why! the news articles covering it: https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/operating-systems/matthew-wilson/microsoft-appears-to-be-bringing-xbox-game-compatibility-to-windows/ https://www.thurrott.com/games/200140/microsofts-evolving-gaming-strategy-takes-a-giant-step-forward8.1KViews1like4CommentsWindows Task Manager

I want to demote one of our 2 DC's in preparation for server replacement. Replication between the two works fine and both DNS's are synced and up-2-date. But when I run the wizard, I need to check that "This is the last DNS server" which is not true. If not, I can't proceed to the next step (Next becomes greyed out). As an experiment, I did this last week and it resulted in a domain where no client could logon, and no file shares was working on the remaining DC/File server. So I restored both backups to get back in business. I do not want to repeat this again. I have browsed the complete DNS tree for the forward zone and everything looks fine to me (SRV, NS etc records)andersostling56Nov 21, 2024Copper Contributor35Views0likes3CommentsHow to Use Windows on an iMac: Need Guidance!
I'm excited to share that I've landed a new job opportunity in the Gulf country, and I've even got my Kuwait visa sorted out. However, here's the twist: I've just learned that the office utilizes iMac systems, which is a bit unfamiliar territory for me. I've been a Windows user all my life and feel quite comfortable with it. Given that I'll be working on an iMac now, I'm seeking advice on how to smoothly integrate Windows functionality into the Mac environment. I believe this will help me maintain my productivity and adapt quickly to the new work setup. Are there any methods, tools, or software solutions that can assist me in using Windows applications on an iMac? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or tips from those who've navigated this transition before. Your insights will undoubtedly make a significant difference as I embark on this new chapter of my career.marzouqal-ghanimAug 20, 2023Copper Contributor524Views0likes3Comments
