Bought a new computer just to play Genshin Impact, but the game won’t download :(

Hi everyone! This is my first time using reddit, so please forgive me as I learn how this works.

I bought a new computer simply because I missed playing Genshin Impact and I wanted to get back into it again. The first thing I did when I got the computer out of the box and got through the setup process was go to download the game, but I couldn’t get it to work at all. The download process with the launcher/installer works fine, but I run into problems when I actually go to install the game.

The game installs extremely slowly. The estimated installation time pops up to 100 hours almost immediately after I start the download. It will download excruciatingly slow, with 0.01% at a time. It will eventually freeze and then shut itself down.

My boyfriend tried downloading the game onto his computer to see if the issue was with mine, and he had no problems. I can’t see the problem being with my computer though, as it was quite literally new out of the box and we are using the same internet connection. I had my boyfriend look through the specs of the computer before I bought it to ensure that it would be able to handle the game, and he said it would be fine.

I’ve tried all the tricks that I could find online, but at this point, I’m at a loss and upset that I wasted money on something I can’t get to work.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness and have a wonderful rest of your holiday season.

How do I organize my PC after reset? (Windows 11 22H2, 512 GB SSD)

Finally, after messing up my Windows installation, slowing up the PC (actually a laptop) by installing all the unnecessary stuff, completely messing up the order, and filling it with clutter, I decided to start with a fresh installation, and a new beginning. This time, I want to keep everything organized, neat and clean, without letting anything go out of my hand. I want complete control over my files, and it should be very predictable. Can you give any ideas for organizing my computer? It just has a 512 GB SSD, and I have a 32 GB USB drive. I don't play games, but I do take lots of screenshots.

The problem with apps is, if I install them in the C Drive as usual, they scatter files all over the C Drive, and they keep storing cache wherever they want. They just get out of my hand, and when I uninstall the apps, most of their residual folders and files don't get cleared out, and it is next to impossible to manually delete them all. However, if I install apps on a separate partition, most of the times, either the apps just break in the middle, or Windows fails to recognize the apps, and do the adjustments, so I end up breaking my PC again.

My idea is to store everything neatly, and keep the PC clean, but importantly, predictable. I want a clean installation for once.


Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Wine spilled on my laptop

It's 4am and someone spilled wine on my laptop while I was in the bathroom. It was closed in sleep mode and the spill was cleaned up before I got out. I don't know how much was spilled or where it spilled but my whole laptop smells like wine. They also powered it on as soon the spill was cleaned up and said it works...

I can't disassemble it until Monday so just how screwed am I? It wasn't a cheap laptop and I don't have the means to replace it before next semester starts in two weeks. I'm so pissed

Sudden fps issue?

Basically, I have a laptop which used to have very good, and I mean very good fps on most games. I used to play a lot till life got busier and I had to stop playing for a few months or so. Upon returning, I noticed that my laptop could barely run a game on more than 50-60 fps, even though I had 200-300 back in the day. Does anyone have any fix for this?

What to use to check old used computers for malware

What steps should I take after getting a used computer to ensure there is no malware without risking my other machines?
I want to start taking old computers off people's hands that either don't work anymore or they just don't have any use for anymore. The goal is to mainly salvage them for parts to use for other projects.

Secure Boot Problems

Hello,

I am currently having problems activating Secure Boot in Windows. I have an MSI motherboard, CSM is disabled, Secure Boot is set to Enabled in the BIOS, and Secure Boot Mode is set to Standard or UEFI. The hard drive is also set to GPT. TPM 2.0 is active.

However, when I run the command [msinfo32.msc\] via [Windows key + R\], Secure Boot is shown to be disabled. When I check via Powershell with the command [Confirm-SecureBootUEFI\], it also shows [False\].

To be honest, I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Monitor and PC not communicating

I recently got locked out of an old PC; took it to a local tech, and they bypassed PIN for me. Bought a new computer; it connects to old monitor just fine. I only have the one monitor, so I want to reconnect it to old PC to get data files onto a flash drive. I plugged in theHDMI cable, and the monitor is scanning for input, but won’t display the opening screen.

I’ve tried both HDM slots, made sure all connections are tight, and restarted both PC and monitor several times.

Any suggestions? The local tech is on winter break, or I’d ask them.
