Do the Sysnative logs contain private information

Definitely agree with this - and these tech support forums are a good example of this. A lot of repair techs who help out users for free in their spare time. To be honest I think this is pretty reasonable to charge. The fix itself may have taken 2 minutes, but your sister spent more than 2...

Do the Sysnative logs contain private information

As the other posters have mentioned, the information collected in the logs is very limited, and shouldn't include any personal information. If this is particularly a concern, we can always remove the logs once you're issue has been looked at. Alternatively a local PC repair shop is a good way to...

Tweaking.com Tool Deletes Updates...why??

Hey abro89, Unfortunately system repair tools can sometimes do this. These tools by definition modify sensitive parts of your system, e.g. the Registry and other system files, and the simple reason things can go wrong is that Windows is extremely complex. Consider that some versions of Windows...

DisplayPort Monitors - randomly turn off.

Hey all, I have a dual monitor setup on a desktop PC. I'm having a few different issues with my DisplayPort monitors, although I believe this is either software or graphics card related. Issue 1: On occasion, both monitors will randomly lose connection simultaneously, and no longer be able to...

Random, and ocassional BSOD

Hey Zetthen, Unfortunately we're not able to provide assistance for pirated software. Aside from anything else, cracked copies of Windows can make BSOD troubleshooting even more difficult, as cracks will often interfere with the system. If you want to salvage the machine, I'd suggest...

Windows features blank help

No worries - let's see if we can help. I'd suggest waiting for a reply from one of the WU team first to see if they can help, and then if there are any outstanding issues bringing it back to this thread? Trying to fix multiple problems at once can be difficult, so easiest to focus on the WU...

Intel vs AMD vs Apple

Companies can definitely recover and reinvent themselves - but isn't Motorola a good example of a company losing its dominant position as a result of these kinds of things? Not arguing that Motorola isn't doing well now and managed to reinvent themselves, but they're far from being the dominant...

Intel vs AMD vs Apple

Yeah, it's totally different, but the performance so far is on par and potentially beating out current gen desktop CPUs. I think later this year when they announce new Mac Pros with an M2/M1X they'll potentially have something that's beating even top spec Intel desktop chips. ARM chips have...

Intel vs AMD vs Apple

It's a good point, I don't think Intel are "in trouble" exactly or likely to suddenly lose market share. The interesting thing with the latest AMD releases is that even the lower end CPUs are outperforming Intel chips at an equivalent or lower price point. If nothing else, things are likely to...

Intel vs AMD vs Apple

Didn't see a thread on this anywhere, but has anyone been following the latest news over the last few months with the new releases from AMD, Intel and Apple? It looks like we've had a small revolution in the CPU market, with both AMD and Apple potentially pushing Intel off the CPOU throne. AMD...

Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo is growing fast

That's not really how either of those companies operate, or Microsoft for that matter. You'd probably be surprised at the amount of information that is not collected. All three companies have good privacy controls, and there is a huge drive to focus on privacy across all three companies...
