    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop - Error Code 0x80072f8f

    I had the exact same problem. You need to contact PCS and tell them that you need to be giving a version of CC for Windows 11. Depending who you get on the other end of the phone or email, you may be told that the Windows 10 version works with Windows 11. It does not. You need to insist they get...

    PCSPECIALIST Realtek Audio Manager / Control Panel missing on new PC

    Do you know anyone that could lend you a decent USB headset to test this? Analogue jacks for headsets are pretty obsolete these days tbh.

    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop - Error Code 0x80072f8f

    If you log into your PCSpecialist account and go to Tech Support there is a download section. Select your operating system and you should have all your drivers and associated software there including Control Center.

    PCSPECIALIST Cyberpunk 2077

    For those of you struggling to get decent frames with ray tracing I highly recommend Digital Foundrys Optimized settings guide. Absolutely transforms the game!

    PCSPECIALIST Replacement battery for Vyper 15.6"

    Sorry for the late response life is hectic right now. @spyderyour half right, i had the 17inch version which if memory serves had a bigger battery. I don't think I got much more than 2 hours out of it though.

    It was dreadful but the main thing is her mum got her to hospital in time and she is on the mend.

    PCSPECIALIST New to the Forum… and the World.

    Mate that isn't long at all. Could be any time now really! It's really hard, my 2 year old has taken some time to adjust. On top of that I was on a job at the other end of the country last week and the baby got admitted to hospital with sepsis. That was a bad time. She is all good now though.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Laptop Configuration Advise

    Personally If I had the budget that the @Jtpm has I would definitely take a 3080TI for a 2k screen as specs wise it sits just below the desktop 3080. That being said If you look at the list of games the OP plays it probably isn't worth it unless they are going to start playing the latest AAA ray...

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Laptop Configuration Advise

    What sort of games will you be playing? Does size matter? I.e. does it need to be portable? Do you have a preference between 15" and 17"?

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    Yeh I spent a good while scouring the forums last night reading up on SB. It seems ridiculously picky about what driver it wants to work with to the point that it seems arbitrary.

    PCSPECIALIST Anti-Virus Software 2022

    Its already been said but I completely agree with all the other guys. Windows Defender is an excellent package for your security. No need for anything else. Not only is it as competent (if not more so) than paid AV in terms of protection, it also provides an enormous performance benefit as it is...

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    Right after two installations of W11 later I have finally got it all working. For some reasons when installing CC on the first install of W11 the laptop bluescreened and required a complete reinstallation of Windows. I can confirm that the new version of CC does work its v3.1.42.0 for those...
