no but had a USB audio device to go to shit a few windows patches ago. Had to roll back the drive to a year old driver after some extensive googling just so it would work again.

My PC is returning an incredibly slow speed test. I am connected via Wi-Fi (ethernet not possible in my house right now due to setup. This will likely not change). However, if I speed test with other devices like my phone, also on wifi, I am returning the expected wifi speed.
What causes this?

couple of things- When did it start? Windows Update pushed an Intel NIC driver package a few days ago, maybe you got it to and the update was foobar.
- Power-cycle your router if you haven't done so since it started happening
- Presuming Windows 10. Easy full network reset to defaults - > Windows Settings > Network and Internet > Network Reset (last link at the bottom of the page)
- Last resort would be to reset your Router to factory defaults as well, but try the other stuff first, unless you set it up yourself and know all the things. =)

Today as far as I can tell. This is only an issue on THIS PC, my other devices are fine.

This happened to my wife’s phone last month. We cleared the cache on apps (I think you have to delete them to do this, I forget) and it just kept growing and growing. Deleted videos, pics, pushed it all to the cloud, system memory just kept growing. No idea wtf happened, I guess some update caused it.
She finally just had her work buy a new phone because that one was unusable, couldn’t receive pics, couldn’t back it up, could just use it as a phone/internet. Once we got the new one and transferred everything we factory reset the old one and it is finally fixed. She didn’t want to do that without transferring her stuff first though.

Yeah this is what I ultimately ended up doing -- performing a factory reset. This feels like the same problem with Windows where you're %temp% folder and C:\Windows\Temp folders can grow over time when applications don't properly clean up after themselves. Unfortunately, being Apple, there's no way (that I know of) to get to these folders and manually delete stuff. There has to be some third-party utility that'll do this, but I couldn't find one in the short amount of time I searched around.

Chrome updated to 85 last night and it has totally messed with the UI scaling of my 4K, I get like 2 words for thread title on the FOH main page and it isn't a zoom problem. Anyone know which flags or settings need to be reverted to unfuck google's mess?
edit: tried messing around with the shortcut /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 options using other values but web pages are still squished/scaled wrong with text spillovers so the problem is not strictly related to DPI scale

I am getting monumentally pissed at this networking garbage. The router itself returns high speeds but the wifi on my work pc and personal pc returns garbage. Signal strength is good its not even 30 feet from the router itself. I don't get it and it angers me.
I really despise networking fuck.

My dads PC took a crap. He took it to some pc place who told him the video card was dead, so he got a refurb 1080 for a couple hundred bucks. I made a Windows usb for him. He tried it but it just tries to boot, gets a drive error, then tries to reboot, in an endless cycle.
So we’re thinking screw it, just buy a new mobo, processor, ram. He’s due for an upgrade anyways. Thought I’d check here if anyone has any idea wtf would be causing that before we bought stuff. He’s very budget-y as he’s getting closer to retirement.
