If you like having 3 monitors already, you’re probably gonna be disappointed with 2 or especially 1 monitor, splitting windows just isn’t the same™️.

Two 34" 3440x1440 is a pretty big amount of desktop space, but a single 43" 3840x1200 is smaller than what you’ve got now in total, assuming you’re using plain 1920x1080 things.

I’m not a fan of curved since it’s shape distorting, and they’re also almost always VA panels, which tend to have worse viewing angles and sometimes noticeable smeariness in motion compared to IPS panels.

So what error is device manager showing?

AFAIK you should still be able to unlock the drive to access the data, but ye Home doesn’t give you access to the control panel to change it. If you can open it to copy off whatever data you want to keep (or don’t care about keeping anything), you can do that then just reformat the drive from Disk Management

Tried a different cable/different DisplayPort monitor to confirm it’s not the cable/monitor at fault too?

So what video card/motherboard does the desktop have/what model?

Got a full screenshot of Disk Management including the partitions part?

You can, but it’d be better to use actual backup software, which will almost always have scheduling options built in.

Got a screenshot of what Disk Management shows?

Assuming it’s a vaguely recent one set up by a vaguely competent company, you should need to get them to remove it from whatever device management service it’s attached to.

Possible in theory sure, game mods could exploit some flaw in a game. Pretty unlikely in practise though.

How often? NES exact framerate is more like 60.1FPS, so would expect a dropped frame every 10 seconds if you’ve got emulator set to sync on exact timing/audio.

Sounds like your configuration’s ass then, sonic/SMB are fixed almost-60Hz games (at least assuming you’re trying to run the NTSC versions), so fixed 60Hz monitor should only give very occasional frame dupe/drops if you have retroarch set to follow correct speed. And if you set retroarch to follow output refresh rate you should almost never get drops/dupes but have game speed slightly wrong.

TPM modules aren’t standardised, you’d need the 19 pin Gigabyte one or a clone of it, the Supermicro things wouldn’t be compatible, https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-TPM20

Alternatively, you can set up Bitlocker using a regular flash drive as the storage instead.

Looks like it’s working correctly, different parts of the scene will have different CPU demands

What were the discs made on? Sure they’ve been finalised properly?

Could be borderline failing drive and/or borderline failing discs too.

Tried running windirstat as administrator? It will miss some things if it doesn’t have read/list permissions.

Windows Settings accounting can indeed be pretty useless.

intel i7 cpu

Which one?

Sometimes i get an error code

Which one?

I have tried everything imaginable to fix this

What have you tried?

First things I’d do are watch what temperatures you’re getting, and attempt GPU and CPU stress tests to try to figure out what’s failing.

Almost every vaguely modern Android device has encryption on by default, factory reset throws out the keys, so unless there’s some massive security fail, the data’s gone forever.
