    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop - Error Code 0x80072f8f

    Everything working fine now. The Control Center app disappeared though. Any idea where I can get my hands on it? Or something that does an equivalent job?

    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop - Error Code 0x80072f8f

    Yep. Went through the set-up process early evening on Friday, where I specified timezone and all that info, then put it down to charge while I put the kids to bed. Picked it up again about 10:30 to start installing stuff and nothing seemed to work, was investigating things when I realised that...

After I had been through basic set-up I noticed the clock was wrong so I corrected it and set it to set time and time zone automatically, after doing a successful time sync.

    PCSPECIALIST Future-proofing a gaming laptop

    Need some advice, please. I bought a laptop from PCSpecialist back in 2013 that is still doing a great job in many respects, but even though it has coped well with the last decade the latest games are beginning to need more than the Intel® Core™ i7-3940XM (3.00GHz) and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M...

However the recent Windows 10 update has given me the widely known problem of the wifi turning itself off. I have kept ahead of this through scrupulous driver updates and, if needed, restoring the...
