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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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.

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 1 year 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)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

same

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

What did you do before that happened?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

Actually I think most people do.
