I'm surprised no one has said "use linux instead" already.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I do. But i got a Gaming PC for the TV and finally want to play the games who never worked with proton.

I was just joking, use whatever you want haha

No, don't do that!

The comment is trivial and left as an exercise for the reader.

Did you kill lsass.exe? I did that and it took away power options. It did restart after a minute.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Sasser taught me that killing lsass causes reboots.

Watching that go around a room full of computers was a blast.

Have you tried holding down the power button? Most models automatically kill the power of you hold it down for something like 5 or 10 seconds.

Give it the old “one finger salute” (hold down the power button until it dies)

Try "SFC /Scanner" in cmd, it should fix it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

when the power button menu just says "no power options available"?

same

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No, power button and everything is here but don't work. Same as the shutdown command.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What did you do before that happened?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Installing Windows, removing edge & cortana & onedrive.

removing edge & cortana & onedrive.

Madlad!
But just install Linux at that point, mate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just want to play the few games that don't run on Proton. It's a console PC hooked on TV and controller.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It sounds like you need a Windows N or Windows Server, instead.

Actually I think most people do.
