Weatheron Rainmeter Issue. My NovaweatherAPI And VClouds weather widgets on Rainmeter are no longer working like they were yesterday or this morning. It seems like these weather parts of rainmeter have issues because somebody can't resist changing the standard that everyone follows, which breaks the weather on all the widgets. They used one standard, and then that changed, and that is why most of my weather on Rainmeter won't work, except for the two already mentioned. Did they change the protocol yet again? And I believe that I am using the correct lattitude and longitude on the two that were previously working. Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks!

I have ghost external interrupt on a rainmeter connected on an esp32. The esp32 send data to domoticz via wifi with http/json API.

The external interrupt FALLING fire 3 times/hours up to 1 time every 8 hours.

Windows is one of the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world, but it's not perfect. Sometimes, it can be frustrating, boring, or even annoying to use. Maybe you're tired of the same old interface, the frequent updates, the security issues, or the compatibility problems. Maybe you're looking for something new, something fresh, something exciting.

But before you give up on Windows and switch to another OS, why not try to rediscover what made you fall in love with it in the first place? There are many ways to spice up your Windows experience and make it more enjoyable, productive, and fun. Here are 10 sources of inspiration that'll rekindle your love for Windows.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to change the look and feel of your Windows is to customize your desktop. You can change the wallpaper, the icons, the colors, the fonts, and more. You can also use third-party tools like Rainmeter or Wallpaper Engine to create dynamic and interactive desktops that suit your style and mood.

Windows is constantly evolving and adding new features that can enhance your user experience. For example, Windows 10 has features like Timeline, which lets you see and resume your activities across devices; Snap Assist, which helps you arrange your windows on the screen; and Cortana, which is a personal assistant that can help you with various tasks. You can also enable optional features like Windows Subsystem for Linux or Sandbox to run Linux applications or test software in a safe environment.

Another way to improve your Windows experience is to learn new shortcuts that can save you time and effort. For example, you can use Win + Tab to open Task View and see all your open windows and virtual desktops; Win + V to access your clipboard history and paste multiple items; Win + L to lock your screen; and Win + . to open the emoji panel. You can also create your own custom shortcuts using tools like AutoHotkey or PowerToys.

Windows has a vast ecosystem of apps that can help you with various needs and interests. You can browse the Microsoft Store to find apps for entertainment, education, productivity, gaming, and more. You can also download apps from other sources like Steam, Epic Games Store, or GitHub. Some of the best apps for Windows include Spotify, Netflix, Photoshop, Visual Studio Code, Discord, and VLC Media Player.

Windows is also a great platform for gaming, as it supports a wide range of games from different genres and eras. You can play classic games like Solitaire, Minesweeper, or Pinball; modern games like Halo, Minecraft, or Fortnite; or indie games like Stardew Valley, Celeste, or Undertale. You can also use emulators like RetroArch or Dolphin to play games from older consoles like NES, SNES, or GameCube.

Windows is not only an OS, but also a culture. There are many communities of Windows users who share their tips, tricks, opinions, and creations online. You can join forums like Reddit's r/Windows10 or r/Windows; blogs like Windows Central or How-To Geek; podcasts like Windows Weekly or The Vergecast; or YouTube channels like Linus Tech Tips or Dave Lee. You can also participate in events like Microsoft Build or Ignite to learn about the latest developments and innovations in Windows.

Windows has a lot of settings that can help you customize your OS to your preferences and needs. You can access them from the Settings app, the Control Panel, or the Registry Editor. You can change things like your privacy options, your update preferences, your accessibility features, your power plan, and more. You can also tweak hidden settings using tools like Ultimate Windows Tweaker or O&O ShutUp10.

Sometimes, the best way to improve your Windows experience is to upgrade your hardware. You can boost your performance by adding more RAM, a faster SSD, or a better CPU or GPU. You can also enhance your comfort by getting a larger monitor, a more ergonomic keyboard and mouse, or a better sound system or headset. You can also add accessories like a webcam, a microphone, or a controller to expand your capabilities.

It is not only a tool for consumption but also for creation. You can use it to create something new that expresses your creativity and passion. You can write a blog post using Word or WordPress; make a video using Movie Maker or Premiere Pro; compose a song using Audacity or FL Studio; draw a picture using Paint or Photoshop; code an app using Visual Studio or Python; or design a game using Unity or Unreal Engine.

Finally, the most important thing to remember is to have fun with it. Windows is not just a machine, but a companion that can help you with your work, your hobbies, your education, and your entertainment. You can use it to explore new things, learn new skills, meet new people, and have new experiences. You can also use it to relax, unwind, laugh, and enjoy yourself.

So, if you're getting tired of Windows, don't give up on it yet. Try these 10 sources of inspiration and see if they can rekindle your love for it. You might be surprised by how much you can do and enjoy with your Windows.

Having very similar issue, possibly the same. Except mine just does this all the time, 10 FPS performance despite 70 fps recorded in say TF2, or just on the desktop.

Have tried throwing the kitchen sink at my PC unsuccessfully, which is frustrating on a brand new build.

I have done the following (pretty much in this order):

Built everything on an ESD mat while wearing an ESD strap (for general assembly and custom water loop install)

Immediately updated the bios. (My motherboard model is notorious for burning out my processor on old BIOS versions)

Cloned my old Windows 10 install via CloneZilla

Installed all the appropriate drivers (noticed problem after this step, 5ghz wifi doesn't work for some reason, seperate issue most likely)

Reset bios after choosing wrong memory clock settings

Expanded disk volume to the new 4TB size

Set appropriate memory clock settings (no new issues)

Tried and failed to find any hidden gpu overclocking enabled by default by ASUS (still a possibility)

Removed all the old drivers and associated bloatware (no improvement)

Disabled Wallpaper engine and rainmeter (no change)

Reseated ram (no apparent difference)

Checked the RAM integrety with memtest86, no problems found

Forcibly removed the old video drivers again with DDU in safemode, no apparent change

Reinstalled latest AMD drivers, no apparent change

Will try TukeVampi's idea of a version or two older Adrenalyn software and see if that resolves my problem. Considering that's what often registers the main GPU draw in task manager, I think it's a good bet.

Parts are:

AMD 7950 X3D

AMD 7900 XTX reference

64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 6000 2x32 kit

1600w Corsair Titanium power supply

4TB Crucial M.2 SSD

Asus Crosshair X670E motherboard

(EK watercooling parts)

not sure if same issue, i did not notice any performance issues while gaming. fortnite and warzone worked fine. hwinfo64 also showed the usage/power spikes when idle after gaming so it wasnt just adrenalin, but for me restarting adrenalin software cleared the issue, others had to restart pc? if someone with this issue is still running 24.1.1 could you verify if whole pc reboot is required?

Interesting, I had no such luck with restarting Adrenalin or my PC.

My issue is bad when idling and gets worse when playing Video games. I just tried tf2 and got single digit frames.

I'm guessing I have a different issue because my problem does not go away when I do a clean boot or Safe mode boot. Will be inspecting the BIOS again to see what I can do.

Well, at least I learned something new. I am new to the PC community and I was under the impression that keeping your drivers up to date is always a good thing. From now on, I will do at least a bit of research on stability before updating.

Alrighty, here's the new stuff I've tried:

Removing drivers and installing versions

23.12.1

23.11.1

23.10.2

No improvement, even when booting into a clean boot or safe mode.

This leads me to think it is neither a Hardware issue as I already eliminated those pretty summarily, nor is it a software issue. I think my issue is probably a BIOS issue but I'm entirely unsure and will be twiddling with my BIOS settings for a bit to see if I can resolve it.

Experienced the same random 100% gpu usage spikes across multiple games with my 7800XT (windows 10 btw) as soon as I installed the latest drivers.

Tried a few things, tested different games and loads and nothing changed. On top of that the already high power draw got worse with 24.1.1.

DDU and rolled back to 23.12.1 and no more weird spikes and power draw is back to normal (albeit still higher than it should be at idle)

Can't say anything good for that latest Adrenaline iteration.
