Before describing the methods to make a VM faster, let’s see some of the reasons for a slow VM. Host system capacity. Other running apps. 1] Host system capacity This is one of the major factors on which the speed of a Virtual Machine depends. If you want your Virtual Machine to run smoothly, you should have a powerful host system. CPU, RAM, and disk space are the three major factors that determine how powerful your host system is. Virtual Machines require a lot of processing power. Therefore, it is mandatory for a host system to have a multicore central processing unit. A multicore CPU can operate the Virtual Machine better and smoother. RAM is another important factor that determines the speed of a Virtual Machine. Your system should have enough RAM if you want to experience a smoother speed of a Virtual Machine. The minimum RAM requirement for a VM is 16 GB. However, 8 GB RAM can be good in some situations. But, if you have 4 GB RAM, you will face performance issues while running the VM, even if you have closed all other programs. Disk space is another factor that affects the speed of the Virtual Machine. To make VM run smoother, you should allocate enough empty disk space. For this, your host system should have plenty of empty space on the disk. 2] Other apps running on the host machine When a VM runs on a host computer, it uses its CPU, RAM, and disk space. Therefore, if you have opened many apps or software on your host computer, you will face performance issues in Virtual Machine. For optimum performance of VM, it is recommended to close all the running apps or software on the host machine. How to speed up a VirtualBox Virtual Machine The following methods will help you make your Virtual Machine run faster. Install VirtualBox Guest Additions. Allocate more memory to VM. Allocate more CPU to VM. Increase the video memory. 1] Install VirtualBox Guest Additions This is the most important step to make a VM run faster. The Guest Additions contain special drivers that a Virtual Machine requires to run smoothly. Following are the steps to install VB Guest Additions: Launch Virtual Machine on VirtualBox. Go to ‘Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image.’ Open This PC. Double click on the ‘CD Drive (D): VirtualBox Guest Additions‘ to open it. Install ‘VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.’ If your host system architecture does not support this file, you will get an error. In this case, try installing the other Guest Additions. After the installation gets completed, reboot the Virtual Machine. Read: VirtualBox displays a black screen and not booting guest OS. 2] Allocate more RAM to VM Just like the physical computer, the performance of a VM also depends on how much RAM is allocated to it. The more memory you allocate to the VM, the smoother experience you will get. To increase the amount of memory in VM, follow the below-listed steps: Launch VirtualBox and select the Virtual Machine. Now, click on the Settings and select ‘System‘ from the left side. Under the ‘Motherboard‘ tab, move the slider to increase the RAM. Click OK to save the settings. Please do not cross the green mark on the slider as it can have a negative impact on your host system health. If it does not help, you should increase the physical RAM on your host computer. 3] Allocate more CPU to VM The host machine CPU handles all the calculations required to run a VM. Hence, if the Virtual Machine uses more CPU, it will run faster and smoother. Follow the below-listed steps to allocate more CPUs to VM: Launch VirtualBox and select the VM to which you want to allocate more CPUs. Click on the Settings and select System on the left side. Under the ‘Processor‘ tab, move the slider to increase the number of CPUs for the VM. Click OK to save the settings. Please keep the slider under the green mark. 4] Increase the video memory If despite having a heavy-duty graphics card on your system, you still experience the slow speed of VM, consider increasing the video memory. In addition to this, enable 3D acceleration. We have listed the steps below to do this: Select Virtual Machine in VirtualBox and click on Settings. Click on the ‘Display‘ on the left side. Move the slider under the ‘Screen‘ tab to increase the video memory. Select the checkbox in the ‘Acceleration‘ section to enable 3D acceleration. Click OK to save the settings. Hope this article helped you speed up the Virtual Machine.

Go to “Draw > Rotate.” You can rotate the image in both right and left directions at 90 degrees or flip it horizontally and vertically.

With this in mind, we’ve decided to explain what V-Sync is all about and whether or not you should enable it in your many video games. OK, so V-Sync stands for Vertical Synchronization, and its primary purpose is to help with getting rid of screen tearing in games. You see, if your graphics card is producing more frames than what your monitor is capable of, then the screen will tear, and in some cases, it looks very bad. For example, your graphics card can push 100 frames, but your computer monitors top out at 60 frames, then this can cause problems. As for screen tearing, well, it is when some section of the screen appears out of sync. Basically, the GPU is moving faster than the monitor. The original solution to screen tearing Today, there are multiple ways to reduce screen tearing or get rid of it entirely, but did you know V-Sync was the original solution? It works by limiting the GPU via software to ensure that it matches the refresh rate of the affected monitor. Still, the technology is not perfect, which is one of the main reasons why it is viewed as obsolete at the time of writing. You see, if you are the type of player who plays a lot of fast action multiplayer video games, then V-Sync would be a detriment because it causes input lag. Not only that, but there are times when the monitor will leave an image on the screen for a short time until the next one is ready. So in many situations, V-Sync is just unusable. Read: How to enable Variable Refresh Rate for games. Should gamers Turn On or Off V-Sync? We do not want to say no because, despite the many negatives, the technology does have its benefits. If you have severe screen tearing, then, by all means, go ahead and take advantage of everything V-Sync has to offer. You will see the settings to turn on or off V-Sync here: Open your Graphics Control Panel Open Manage 3D settings Click on Program Settings tab Locate Specify the settings found for this program Select the program From its drop-down select On, Off or what you want. Just remember, there are alternatives out there, and quite a few at that. Most of them are much better, but two stand out the most, and we will shed some light on them. Read: How to optimize Windows 10 for Online Gaming. The best alternatives to V-Sync NVIDIA G-Sync: You may or may not have heard of G-Sync. But as the name suggests, it is a similar technology to V-Sync that actually works. Nvidia was first to market with this product, and as such, they decided to put a price on it. At the time, it was only possible to use this piece of tech with an Nvidia graphics card and an expensive monitor that supports G-Sync. The most important thing here is that it eliminates the input lag that gamers faced with V-Sync. AMD FreeSync: The folks at AMD developed FreeSync in response to G-Sync, and by doing this, they delivered well-needed competition. The boldest move by AMD was to release the product as a free service, but similarly to G-Sync, the tool only works with AMD GPUs, and FreeSync supported monitors.

System Restore points are also called Volume Shadow Copies. Internally, Windows manages them using the vssadmin program that can be used from Command Prompt or PowerShell. This program can list restore points, delete them, and also resize the shadow copy storage association. To delete an individual or restore point, follow these steps: Open Command Prompt or PowerShell with admin privileges. Type the following command and press the Enter key. vssadmin list shadows This will display all the restore points available on the computer. Find the System Restore point based on date, and note the ID (Shadow Copy ID) and use it in the following command: vssadmin delete shadows /{ID} Once done, it will delete the shadow copy or restore point associated with the Shadow ID. It is easy, but it can be confusing for users because of too much data that appears on the Command Prompt. The better way to approach it is to open the System Restore interface and then visually understand the available Restore points. Y ou can also view the affected programs to have a clear understanding. The vssadmin command doesn’t display the name or description associated with the Restore point to add to the confusion. Type System Restore in the Start menu and click to open the program Click on the System Restore button to open the wizard Select Choose a different restore point, and click on the Next button. Check the box which says Show more restore points You can then check the description for each restore point to understand, then make a note and choose which one to delete. Be aware older restore point will result in the loss of installed programs. While Windows creates a system restore point for every major installation, make sure to create it on your own regularly. You can even set the computer to automatically create one every day which may work in a better way.

Since Windows doesn’t offer a direct way to open these show copies or restore points, we will use third-party software— Shadow Explorer. This program can read all the System Restore Points and display all the files inside each of them. Download Shadow Explorer from the official website. Once installed, launch the program, and it will instantly read all the shadow copies of the primary drive. On the top left, you can change the drive, next to it, is the dropdown for System Restore. In the image above you see C displayed – and 4/21/2021 12.19.57 PM displayed as the System Restore Point creation date and time. On the top -right side, you will see another drop-down for the View. The files can be viewed in: Detais, List, Large or Small icons. Once you are sure of selection, navigate to the folder where your file is saved. In the image above, you will see Details displayed. Right-click on the file or folder, and choose to Export. You will be prompted where to save the file. It may take time to copy depending on the file size. The system will prompt if you plan to overwrite if the file already exists. That said, I have noticed that some files give an error when you try to copy. It could be because there were already locked or are not allowed to copy when the restore point was created. Using this tool, you can also launch System Restore using its Menu > File > Configure System protection menu. It helps to quickly create one if you don’t have any. There are two versions of Shadow Explorer— Installer and Portable. If you need it for one-time usage, use the Portable version, else you can always use the Installer. One point to note is that the software has issues if TrueCrypt is being used. In this case, you need to mount volumes as removable media. The option is available Settings > Preferences > Mount volumes as removable media I hope the post helps recover files from a System Restore Point in Windows 10.

The answer to that question is a resounding yes. Anyone with the right information can easily create a progress bar, and guess what? We’re going to detail how to get it done. Now, it is possible to manually install a progress bar by installing the relevant shape below each slide. However, that brings additional problems to the table. You see, users must measure the length of every shape that is based on the number of slides in the presentation document. Also, whenever a slide is removed, you will then be required to recreate the progress bar for all other slides. We can’t be bothered with doing things like that; therefore, we’ve decided to go the Macro route. Here’s how! Open your preferred PowerPoint presentation Select Macros and inject a name Paste code in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) window Close and run Macro Let us look at this more from a detailed perspective. 1] Open your preferred PowerPoint presentation OK, so the first thing you must do here is to open the PowerPoint presentation you want to work with. If not, you can create one from scratch and then work your way up. 2] Select Macros and inject a name Once you’ve opened your presentation document, you must now go on ahead and click on View, and from there, be sure to select Macros located at the right. A small window should appear right away after you’ve clicked on the button. The next step, then, is to type a Macro Name. We’ve chosen to add SlideBar, but you are free to include whatever name that is best suited. Once that is done, hit the create button to complete this section. 3] Paste code in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) window OK, so after hitting the Create button, a new window will appear. This window is called Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and it is where the magic happens. From within the editor, you should see the following: Sub ProgressBar() End Sub Click between the two lines of the code, and be sure to copy and paste the following right away: On Error Resume Next With ActivePresentation For X = 1 To .Slides.Count .Slides(X).Shapes("PB").Delete Set s = .Slides(X).Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, _ 0, .PageSetup.SlideHeight - 12, _ X * .PageSetup.SlideWidth / .Slides.Count, 12) s.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(127, 0, 0) s.Name = "PB" Next X: End With 4] Close and run Macro After you’ve completed the above task, you must now close the VBA window right away. Once that is done, click on the View tab from within PowerPoint, then select Macros. Choose the name of the Macro, and finish off by selecting Run, and that’s it.

This can happen if the Boot Media is damaged or some system files on it are corrupted. It could be Video drivers, Disk drivers or Keyboard drivers, etc. It can also occur if your hardware has insufficient memory. As you may be able to tell from the error message, this is a Blue Screen of Death error; therefore, you won’t be able to sign in to Windows 10 like you normally do. So, the question right now is, what are the best ways to solve the issue? Well, we have a few ideas. Ensure that your computer hardware Change the installation CD, DVD, or USB medium Create a new Installation setup with a freshly downloaded ISO image Let us talk about this in a more detailed manner. 1] Ensure that your computer hardware meets system requirements One of the first things you should do before all else is to ensure your computer’s hardware meets system requirements – especially the Memory. This isn’t difficult to meet since Windows 10, depending on the version you’re running, can operate on a minimum of 1GB RAM. The following is the minimum system requirements: Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver Display: 800 x 600 Meeting these conditions shouldn’t be an issue for most people. 2] Change the installation CD, DVD, or USB medium There is a high chance your installation CD, DVD, or USB media could be at fault. Maybe one of these mediums is defective, or it could be failures in burning Windows 10. Whatever the case might be, it is imperative that you either redo the burning process or replace the medium altogether. 3] Create a new Installation setup with a freshly downloaded ISO image Another option one could take from our perspective is to download a new Windows 10 ISO image. The one you have right now could be corrupted, which is why you are seeing the SETUP_FAILURE.

Before we start with these methods there is one thing we need to understand that is we need such a document that follows a consistent styling of paragraphs and headings. It is required because when we read any article or document, we look for the headings first and then continue with the paragraph below it. For this, we need to use annotations at the beginning of every new section. The basic idea is to use Subtle Emphasis for the Annotations and a normal style for the remaining body of the document. Both of the methods mentioned below might not work on the browser edition of Microsoft Word. Remove paragraph using Styles pane in Word The gallery of styles in Styles Pane comes with a number of different paragraph styles. To use it for deleting multiple paragraphs, follow the steps below: Place the cursor in front of the line from where the changes have to be done. Right-click on Subtle Emphasis style. Click on Select all instances. Once all the similar instances are selected, click on Delete button of your keyboard. This method is useful and easy to use, one thing that we need to keep in mind is that the paragraphs should be of similar style and proper annotations are applied. Remove paragraphs using Replace in Word There is a very little chance of annotation style’s unavailability in the style gallery. If it is the case with you then you can use this method for the similar purpose. Press Ctrl+H, the Find and Replace window will open up. Click on the More button. If it happens that you have created a different type of styling or used any then click on No Formatting. In the Search Options section, select All in the Search dropdown. Now click on Format and select the Style option. In the list of Styles, scroll down and search for Subtle Emphasis. Select it and click on Ok. Make sure that Find what and Replace with entries are empty. Click on Replace All. Once you click on Replace All, all the similar paragraphs will be removed from the document. These are the tried and tested methods.

At times a particular system file may get corrupted and result in an unstable system and sometimes a BSOD. Things can get worse, and the only option you may feel is reinstalling the OS. However, it is possible to restore corrupted files using the Windows 10 Installation media. It is important that you know the exact path of the system file before we go ahead. If you do not know it, searching for it using Bing or Google might be a good idea. Prepare your Windows 10 Installation Media by downloading the ISO from the Microsoft website. Next, boot into the BIOS, and set the first bootable drive as the USB or Flash Storage. Save and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Insert your installation media and restart your computer. You should now see a Windows 10 Setup screen. Choose the Repair option, and you will be taken to the Advanced Recovery screen. Select Troubleshoot > Command Prompt. Assuming you want to replace ntfs.sys which is located in the System32\Drivers folder, execute the commands in the following sequence. You will have to choose x86 or x64 depending on your computer’s architecture. cd c:\windows\system32\drivers ren ntfs.sys ntfs.old copy <USB Driver Letter>:\x64\Sources\ntfs.sys C:\windows\system32\drivers Since we have removed the old file, it will not ask for any permission to overwrite. Repeat the same for any other file which is missing, and then exit. Restart the computer, and check if still get the file missing or a corrupt error. There is one thing you need to take care of. Some system files change depending on the version of the OS. So make sure you copy the file from the same version of Windows 10 ISO. If you need files from a different version instead of the latest version, you can download any other version of Windows or you may download any exe, dll, etc, OS files from Microsoft. This is a lot easier than running long SFC and DISM commands if you know how to use this.

If you receive DLLRegisterserver failed with Error 0x80070715, try the following suggestions: Enable the Volume Shadow Copy. Re-register DLL files required by VSS. Check if any VSS writer has an error. Before you begin, create a system restore point first. 1] Enable the Volume Shadow Copy You can enable the Volume Shadow Copy using the Services app of Windows 10. Follow the below-listed steps: Launch the Run window by pressing Windows and R keys. Type “services.msc” and click OK. In the Services window, scroll down to view Volume Shadow Copy. Once you find it, right-click on it and select Start. Did it help? If not, try the next solution. 2] Re-register DLL files required by VSS If the above method did not solve the issue, try re-registering the DLL files required by VSS. Before re-registering the DLL files, it is important to enable the Volume Shadow Copy, otherwise, you may get a message. “Volume Shadow Copy was not started.” In method 1, we have listed the procedure to start the VSS. Launch the Command Prompt and enter the following commands and press Enter key after each command: net stop vss net stop swprv regsvr32 ole32.dll regsvr32 vss_ps.dll vssvc /register regsvr32 /I swprv.dll Having done that, see if it has helped. 3] Check if any VSS writer has an error To check if any of the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) writer has an error or not, launch the Command Prompt as an Administrator and type the following command, and press Enter. vssadmin list writers You have to wait till the process gets completed. If you find an error in any of the VSS writers, run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt and press Enter after typing each command. cd c:\Windows\System32 net stop vss net stop swprv regsvr32 ole32.dll regsvr32 oleaut32.dll regsvr32 vss_ps.dll Vssvc /Register regsvr32 /i swprv.dll regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll regsvr32 es.dll regsvr32 stdprov.dll regsvr32 vssui.dll regsvr32 msxml.dll regsvr32 msxml3.dll regsvr32 msxml4.dll net start vss shutdown /r (reboot) After rebooting the system, check the status of the VSS writers by entering the same command written above in this method. Now, the VSS service should function properly.
