Hello friends; I've searched and researched as best I can, but can't seem to come up with any results that aren't just links to manufacturers' mainboard manuals.

I recently did some ugprades on my machine, moving to an Asus X870-P Wifi mainboard, and am struggling to make a PCIEX capture card (Elgato 4K60 Pro) work on this thing due to issues with the PCIEX slot.

My understanding is that so long as the M.2 slots are active, then the PCIEX slots will have limited functionality, but other than a couple spots in the BIOS for Bifurcation and setting GEN1-4, I can't find something that will give this PCIEX slot the "4 lanes" it needs for the capture card not to present a green screen due to a l

I just finished building my very first AMD machine, and it was a pretty big jump with some new (to me) technologies like M.2 drives and the like. Everything is up and running with the exception of my Elgato 4k60 Pro card which shows a green screen. Some research pointed me to the fact my PCIEX slot isn't fast enough for the card, so my intent was to head in to the BIOS and look up the setting to give that PCIEX slot full speed and disable the M.2 slot that's linked to it.

But for love nor money can I find what setting to make the change on. I've played with Bifurcation settings, and changing the the PCIEX slot from 'Auto' to 'Gen4', both of which made no difference.

For reference, I've go

I just tried firing up a few things on Revive through SteamVR and it seems like bunch of stuff that once worked now just launches in desktop mode or not at all. A couple games still work, like Zooma, but the vast majority are dead. I tried newer version of ReVive and good 'ol reliable 2.1.1 and have no luck.

Today I upgraded/sidegraded from a Quest 2 over to an Index. Thing's awesome, but Tetris Effect on the Gamepass app crashes after choosing 'Play in VR with SteamVR'. It worked fine with the Quest 2 in Link mode, which leads me to believe it's a collision with the Oculus apps. In any other case, I would just uninstall the Oculus stuff, but there's some things in there I want to use with ReVive.

Tetris gives no useful error, instead choosing one of those stupid "Ooopsy daisy we've crashed!" happy little messages with no error codes.

Anyone else made the jump from Quest to Index and come across something similar?

Anyone else recently come across audio distortion/shifting issues as soon as this most recent SteamVR update came down the line? Nothing about it on the forums yet on Steam itself, but good lord is it obnoxious. It's the kind of distortion and pitch shifting I've come to expect when there's a connection issue, but the framerate and game performance itself is fine.

In the last few months, I've found that a Win10 machine logged in with the same username/password combination as a client Win7 machine, will be able to access that Win7 PC over the network for a while, and then later on, fail. Attempting to access the \\hostname Win7 computer will prompt for credentials to log in. Storing credentials doesn't seem to help.

I've done our in-house networking this way for 20 years, ensuring that the same username/password combination that exists on the host PC also exists on the remote PC and it's always worked. Seems that since an update, there's some machines that exhibit this behavior while others don't.

I've tried searching and all of the hits

Hope this is a decent place for this post; trying to figure out where to ask has been as tricky as figuring out what my problem was in the first place.

I am doing single-PC streaming with an Elgato Capture card. I am doing this to get around anti-capture protections in games like CS:GO, Destiny 2 and Forza Horizon 4 without configuring a full dual-PC streaming setup. It's all worked pretty well, except I come across occasional stutters in the captured video due to the difference in the 60hz primary display and 59.94hz capture.

I am using [this thing from Orei](https://www.amazon.ca/OREI-UltraHD-HDMI-Splitter-Port/dp/B07J2Q9NPH/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=60hz+hdmi+splitter&qid=15

I got one of these cards and it's working really well for the most part. But I am noticing that when streaming/capturing anything high framerate, it will intermittently drop framerate and then recover. Usually just a second or two, but it happens consistently and frequently. It doesn't happen when capturing consoles, as they're generally running 30 FPS; just when capturing PC. I feel like this is a setting somewhere, but I can't track down which one it is, and trying to google this issue comes up with all kinds of overall low FPS posts.

Curious if anyone's come across it. The PC is high end, and i9 9900k, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080, so I don't believe it's a horsepower issue.

Hey all,

I am finding that if this SN30+ Pro is connected to the Switch, there's no making it work on a PC until the PC is rebooted. I've gone through the normal troubleshooting of powering it off, disconnecting it, hitting X+Start to put it in to X-Input mode to no avail. It always connects with 2 LEDs lit up, shows as a Controller (XBox 360 For Windows) as you would expect from a working controller. Advanced -> Test; everything there works as if it's a normal functioning controller. But no games will pick it up.

But once the PC is rebooted and the controller reconnected, it works with a single LED lit up. Still shows as Controller (Xbox 360 for Windows) but it works in games again.

Edit: Calling MS Activation center and requesting a downgrade is required. Leaving this post for anyone else searching like I did.

Hi all. I was informed by 2 Microsoft support folks that considering I can't buy 2012 RDS CALs any longer, that 2019 RDS licenses would have downgrade rights. We bought a 5 pack CAL of RDS Licenses, and the code comes up as invalid when trying to enter it in to the RDS Licensing manager. I'm a bit new to this; the last time I licensed an RDS server it was still called RDP and it was on WinServer 2000.

I've done all kinds of searching and can't find anything relating to my problem; the closest being people trying to get 2019 codes wor

I've been searching left, right and center for some kind of confirmation on what Windows Server 2016 Essential will support with regards to RDS.

Bit of backstory: I have a small client with 2 locations and 2 people who need to access a server, one person at each location. I'm seeing all kinds of mixed results on Win2K16 Essentials being able to support RDS. I want one local user to be able to operate the machine and one remote person to have their own desktop (Not remote desktop, but RDS with their own environment).

​

Some results seem to indicate this functionality would come with a stock Server with no additional licensing, others say you can install RDS but it can't function

I'm interested in doing a little recording and a bit of streaming from my consoles, but I don't have or really want to get a TV going in the computer room. While I know the USB 3 capture devices like Elgato HD60 are unplayably delayed, I'm curious if internal PCIex cards like the Live Gamer HD would allow for live play on the PC monitor, with sound routed through the PC. I can't seem to get a straight answer on this, no matter how much Google I search.

Is using a Live Gamer HD 2 effectively as a passthrough something that can be done?

I'm finding that most games just work, and controller inputs go through without a hitch, but some games like Hollow Knight don't.

It's been driving me crazy the last few days thinking about how this all actually works.

For shits and giggles, I started Gamestream and went to the PC looking for an entry in Game Controllers, expecting to see some kind of virtualized Xbox controller listed, but the screen comes up empty.

So with no controller detected, I can understand why Hollow Knight wouldn't work.

And in another test, I ran Tales of Berseria, which under Controllers, actually detects a SHIELD device as its controller.

In a third test, I actually powered on the local XB1 controller c
