My cpu perfmon part doesn't work at all anymore. My guess is that some counters changed when I installed some new updates from windows update (not sure which one though). Anyone with the same prob? I've tried to use another counter, but there doesn't seem to be one that works the same way as the original one... you can have counters for each separate process, but I want the one for total cpu-usage.

update: I checked again and it seems that "processor" has disappeared from my "Performance Objects" list... tried reinstalling samurize with no luck.

There's a Perfmon Counter Reset Tool that was available for Windows 2000 in some kind of a Resources kit. When counters crash, they will no longer be available. You can reset them with this tool but running it, finding the counter, and checking Performance Counter Enabled. I tried to upload it a few times and keep getting an error saying I cannot upload this type of file (in both rar and zip formats), so if you want it, pm me and I will email it to you.

Never mind... I got the program... but I don't get something.

I've downloaded some of your scripts and move them in the config folder, but I can't choose it in the Samurize program, it didn't show up. What's wrong?

Edit: I'm really newb at this, how can I make this program show up stats and stuff? hehe.. first time!

I found the newest DesktopWeather script at DeskMod, but I can't get it to do anything. All the meters in the default config come up as N/A, and it seems that the getCacheFiles function is not working properly. Whenever I try to test that function using the config editor, config.exe hangs, and I have to kill the process. No files are ever created, which must be part of the problem. I have disable Norton's script blocker, but it still won't work. I'm thinking that, for some reason, the downloading of the info from weather.com is failing. However, I can view the page fine with any web browser. Even ten minutes after running a reload on the included config (with no changes to any of the files), I'm seeing this after running a netstat -a:

TCP    TOS:1060               web1.weather.com:http  CLOSE_WAIT
TCP    TOS:1061               w3.weather.com:http    CLOSE_WAIT

Any ideas as to what might be happening?

i think something is messed up with desktopweather, and while it may not be the script itself, is it possible that weather.com changed?

also, for those whose script works, can you upload weather.daily.html and weather.hourly.html? I think it may be possible to alter the html and have it work..

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
