What windows features are turned on or off?

What features windows should be on or off?

Hi Apixie,

In earlier versions of Windows, to turn a feature off you had to uninstall it completely from your computer. In this version of Windows, the features remain stored on your hard drive, so you can turn them back if you want. Turn off a feature does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by Windows features.

  • T530 Windows 8, cannot turn Adaptive dimming off

    I went thorugh these forums, but it seems that none of the solutions work on my T530 about try to disable adaptive dimming off the coast. I defined the characteristics of graphics power Intel to the 'sector' and the 'Maximum Performance' settings, then I also disabled the Adaptive gradation in Windows 8 settings (made even a new profile where I put on the maximum brightness in the settings and turned off at the gradation Adaptive.) power. Nothing helps. Whenever I pass a program with the darker background, for example Spotify, the occultation happens, switch back and it will brighten up the screen. It's makes me completely crazy.

    Is it maybe a problem with the drivers of Windows 8? Any ideas what to try next?

    Never mind. It seemed that the new parameters of entry into force until after a reboot.

  • Playback devices are turned on and off at the same time.

    Somehow, my audio devices have all been disabled and enabled at the same time. I have speakers and bluetooth headset and it shows they are both active in the playback Panel devices and my headset as default device. The equalizing bar which usually goes next to them has disappeared, however. When I try to disable them, nothing happens. When I run a convenience store on one of the devices, it says that the problem is that the device is disabled and says to activate manually. But I can not because it is already activated. Do the side slide to open the control panel displays the volume button dimmed with the text, "disabled" underneath.

    My operating system is Windows 8. My bluetooth device is BTH220. My speakers are realtek high definition audio.
    I updated all my audio drivers and restarted my computer several times. I tried disabling and disconnection of the devices and convenience stores running. Nothing seems to work.
    Thanks for any help you have!

    I don't think that problem is related to the audio drivers

    Try to update the other drivers starting with bluetooth
  • What additional features are available for the raw files?

    When I'm working on the raw files in lightroom, I notice nothing else I can do with them that I can't do with JPEG files.  With the JPEG files I can adjust the balance of whites and pretty much everything.  When you work on a raw image, I see no difference in what I can do.  However, the controls are there.  So, what is the difference?  Thank you for your help.

    From a functional point of view, the RAW files are usually rather larger than JPEG files, but can be a joy to work with the help of Adobe's Camera Raw (the engine which results in Ps and Lr modifiable RAW).

    A few points:

    1. all JPEG images (from RAW files) are compressed down to a depth of 8 bits, so, technically, we don't work with almost as many possible colors as for RAW formats (which are the property of the manufacturer of the device). »

    2. According to what you read, you may fall on the apocryphal information that says "your camera does no change for RAW images that capture." It's not exactly the case: all the cameras 'interpret' the 'Photonics' image data entering the CMOS sensor from behind a table of Bayer (in general). Depending on which filter through the matrix Bayer, that a photon passes through, the camera interprets the electronic data from the CMOS as red, green or blue light. There are several other "interpretations" as well.

    3. on these two points: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml

    4. I found that with my digital SLR 'starter', (sad, sad) 10Mpx files aren't as pleasant to work with, say, my T3i 18Mpx files. So beware, if you have a camera Mpx lowest, you won't see much change with each increase in "Blacks" for example (or 'contrast', 'fill light' or 'brightness') than you will with a model more great.

    But, working with RAW images, these other reasons and is better than to work with JPEG images. Link to this post Forums Adobe to learn more: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2690352

  • Enable or disable Windows features: most of them is unchecked.

    original title: Turn Windows features or not: just stumbled on this feature when uninstalling a program and noticed that most of them is unchecked.

    What would constitute the "standard/default" installed in windows for a Dell Inspiron 64 programs.   I wonder if this may be part of my problem of performance (as well as others, I'm sure). Any suggestions?  Never tried this type of help before, thought I would give it a shot

    I just read this thread and found that Kaddiff was confused at the time of its issue. His use of the term "windows" standard/default"installed programs" generated a stream of responses which fail to settle his "real"question. " Only Dax1792 seems to answered the question of "real". If you replace the word "features", "programs" the original question makes more sense in the context of the object in the header. It is also a good question that remains largely!

    The best answer by far in my humble OPINION is that, in Dax1792, but can someone do better and how the items in the list of Windows features are to be checked or unchecked if you perform a typical and not custom Windows 7 installation?

    A tee shot. Several Windows in the list features arise often in discussions about performance problems. Performance problems were clearly a concern for Kaddiff as you will see in reference to them in his message.

  • So, what new features actually exist in the first CC vs CS6?

    Nothing new to this point? I know that a comparison function will be difficult over time since the features will be released regularly, but I'm curious. I struggle, I can upgrade CS5 to CS6 for $525 now and be good for the next few years, or at least until I see what new features are coming that miss me. Basically, CS6 upgrade is cheaper than CC's of 18 months so that one would expect to be missed on?
