(SOLVED) After considering using a Raspberry Pi to do this, I found a $23 dollar USB dongle called Flirc that seems to do what I need. It is supposed to come with Win/Mac/Linux software and let you program any remote input to do various PC functions, like using an old DVD remote to control Kodi...

I would like a simple remote that would emulate keyboard presses or windows commands to my Win 7 PC, to control Play/Pause, FF/Rewind and Volume. I thought of getting an older Apple TV Remote or something similar, and an IR receiver for the PC for around 15 bucks each, but how do I convert the...

I have an Asus Transformer Mini T102 10" 2-in-1 with 'surface' style rear kickstand and a removable keyboard. When ever I re-attach the keyboard (going from tablet to laptop) the auto-rotate turns on, despite what it was set to when used as a tablet. I've had it go to portrait with a small tilt...

I haven't tried it yet (since I have a Win 10 tablet and don't want to drain the battery) but this registry hack might do it for you: How to Change the Windows 10 Lock Screen Timeout Backup the registry before making changes (Just Google or search the forums for how to do that)

Weird Update, Fixed?: It found out that the T102HA won't charge if you are using it while the power button is held down. The tablet just shut off on me after watching a movie on the second day this glitch happened. I got it to boot back to the desktop (power held for 30 seconds to initiate...

Yesterday I discovered that the power button doesn't work like it should. I used to be able to hold it for a few seconds and the tablet would boot, but that doesn't work anymore. The tiny orange LED next to the power button lights up (slow blinks) when it is powered, and if I hold the button...

Oh, and for something around $100 dollars, (and bought through Amazon) I would get a SquareTrade accicdental protection warranty. If the tablet is $25-$100 (and is NOT a Fire), you can get this for $13.98 without a repair deductible SquareTrade 1-Year Tablet Protection Plan Amazon's Fire HD8...

Do not expect to get great performance from a cheap tablet for starters, but I gather you know that. The biggest Pro for a Windows tablet is that an Android tablet will require the manufacturer to update it, so less expensive ones will not get many security updates, while Microsoft does the...

If it happened recently, and something changed a path entry in the system32.ini file, perhaps rolling back to an earlier Restore Point would fix it by restoring the older (working) system32 ini file.

You mean the system32.ini file? A shot in the dark here, but has an entry in there got a 'wierd' character? read this to see what characters can't 'run'. file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect - [Solved] - Windows 8

If they are full sized USB ports I couldn't imagine why both wouldn't read a USB flash drive or other USB device like a mouse or keyboard if it's running Windows.

I have had a Nexus 7 2013 Android tablet for 3 years (math, woohoo!) and would often plug it into my desktop to transfer files using a good old microUSB to USB A cable. I'd also just charge the tablet off of the same cable since it's connected to a powered USB hub that also goes to the PC. Can...

Windows 7 should still be getting security updates from Microsoft on the 'second Tuesday of the month' until January 2020. Is it possible you installed a GWX (get Windows 10) no-nag utility to block the Windows 10 update notifications, that might be screwing up your updates?
