holy fucking shit!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve had this in my drafts to attain writing up for about a weeks however right this moment I made another discovery that has pushed me to lastly write it up lol.
My PC had about a hiccups over the last couple of years. Nothing so serious that I became as soon as in truth concerned (before every thing) however, annoyances, to provide particular. (“PC? Weren’t you talking just a few TV??” that you just must be thinking to yourself. Yes. I’m going to glean there. Oh, will I ever glean there.)
For an extended time, the most serious hiccup with my PC became as soon as being unable to open Exhibit Settings on my PC. I had to spend Nvidia preserve watch over panel to provide adjustments. No matter. Did not affect my capability to work or the leisure. I had staunch up to this level to Dwelling windows 11 so I thought presumably something went atrocious within the update. So I did another install (which intended I had to re-install a ton of tune plugin stuff on my computer which takes ages given the full stuff I spend.)
The fresh install peaceful did not fix it. So I simply overlooked it for the better half of 2 years.
Over time, so slowly I did not in truth clock them as being linked, a variety of issues began to fail.
I even own a Komplete Kontrol S88 midi Keyboard that interfaces with Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol in my DAW. I will spend the keyboard to adjust settings or make a choice instruments with out having to discover at my visual show unit. At some level closing one year this stopped working. I would possibly perchance peaceful spend it to input midi, and I became as soon as horrified I would possibly own to attain a fresh install of the full Native Instruments stuff I spend, so I kept striking off attempting to fix it except I had less going on with work. It labored, staunch now not as well to it would peaceful!
Then, Assignment manager began to dangle in queer strategies. It would possibly perchance now not shut except I compelled it closed with ProcExp. No matter! Computers are queer!
I had danger getting video grab cards to connect after I thought to be streaming Splatoon. No matter! I’m now not a streamer, I must peaceful doubtlessly spend that vitality on something else.
However then, in March, I had some issues fail that, turns out, are moderately the largest to utilizing the computer.
I became as soon as attempting to glean a ways flung desktop to work on my pill so I would possibly perchance work within the lounge nearer to my cat, Grendel, who became as soon as peaceful a great deal in mourning for his most attention-grabbing pal (<3 Guts). Grendel is at his happiest when he's snoozing on the sofa subsequent to a human. So I thought, hi there, I would possibly perchance attain some stuff in a ways flung desktop mode! It wasn't something I dilapidated very most continuously attributable to it would not play natty nice with audio, it'd been doubtlessly over a one year since I closing dilapidated it, however I knew it had labored and had been easy to set apart up.
Successfully. It refused to connect despite displaying as an possibility on my pill. And as I became as soon as attempting to troubleshoot this relate…
My job bars on my PC disappeared! If I moused over the set apart they must were I purchased the loading circle. And my displays would jitter!
System settings were nowhere to be found. To navigate I had to open Assignment Manager (which whenever you happen to recall became as soon as already appearing unparalleled and leisurely for the previous one year) in reveal to open the say panel, which I would possibly perchance then spend to begin applications. Or, are attempting to. If I attempted to open the system settings, my PC spat out “Uhhh what’s “Settings”? We ain’t purchased settings” (in say I purchased “C:Dwelling windowsSystem32>open up ms-settings: Access is denied.” despite being in admin mode)
SO I began to panic a wee bit. It be now not a colossal time for me to presumably need a fresh PC! Plus, it in truth works colossal when it in truth works.
I manually backed up every thing well-known from my main PC drive (as I would possibly perchance now not glean admission to the home windows backup program attributable to it lived in settings!!!!!!!!) and downloaded the Dwelling windows 11 installer to a drive in case I wished to thoroughly wipe my computer and open up fresh.
In a closing ditch effort, I attempted updating my Nvidia GeForce graphics driver and restarted.
Lo and watch, my taskbars got right here support and I would possibly perchance glean admission to settings another time! Huzzah!
This lasted for six days. After which the taskbars disappeared AGAIN in conjunction with Settings.
At the very least by now I would possibly perchance change into considerably contented utilizing say to glean round, so I became as soon as less afflicted than I became as soon as in round 1. I no lower than knew the computer would now not fracture and delete all my shit with out observe (plus I had my backups that were up-to-date).
I asked my mates within the occasion that they’d ever heard of the leisure like this, and Cohost’s be pleased @vogon helped me tear round some additional graphics driver stuff in case updating to the fresh Nvidia program that’s in beta would solve my enviornment. This felt natty promising after I went into stable mode and noticed taskbars. So, I did the update, and, as earlier than, after I up to this level, the taskbars got right here support! However there were long gone another time almost straight away. My screen actually began flickering and they vanished. It became as soon as so fucking weird.
I grew to change into to google all over another time, hoping that by some means, as ineffective as google is that on the 2nd, presumably I would possibly perchance glean what I wished to fix my rattling computer!
Come what would possibly, against all odds, I discovered it. I came about to spend the precise staunch string in my search to drag up some reddit threads. The first one did not own the leisure purposeful, however about a outcomes down I noticed “no taskbar and job manager freezes” holy moly!!!
Initially set apart peruse alternatively, there wasn’t the leisure purposeful. However then I noticed some collapsed feedback on the backside of the thread. I knew most likely they staunch had feedback like “sucks bro” or “right here’s why i spend linux :/” However I expanded them and inner became as soon as a hyperlink to a Microsoft forum post. I kept my expectations in verify and clicked on the hyperlink. What I noticed had my practically vibrating in my seat.
This became as soon as the resolution.

So I lastly solved it!
Offer of the difficulty: an Android TV (HiSense mannequin) linked to my community. Yes. A TV caused this enviornment.
HISENSE? LIKE THE SAME BRAND OF TV I HAVE HAD SINCE 2020???
I followed the instructions. I deleted keys generated by our TV for 5 straight minutes. 5 Minutes of like 200BPM clicking. I restarted. All the pieces labored another time. I laughed so tough I cried. I felt like I would possibly perchance solved a break. The well-known suspect became as soon as the PC however the perpetrator became as soon as the TV within the a variety of room. And he almost purchased away with it!!! If I had spent about a days carrying out a tidy install and re-putting in all my work stuff, my relate would own near support. If I had taken the PC out support and shot it and replaced it with a admire fresh computer, the difficulty would own near support.
For the reason that relate became as soon as never the PC. The Plight became as soon as my Hisense TV within the following room.
When I carried this out, I became as soon as ready to open point out settings for the well-known time (exterior of stable mode) in 2 years. When I deleted the keys, my Assignment Manager began behaving normally another time. I grew to change into round and noticed that my keyboard became as soon as all over another time displaying the VST controls on its screen. The admire midi keyboard became as soon as support at full performance. I became as soon as ready to connect my CRT as some degree out another time utilizing the HDMI -> RCA converters I would possibly perchance assumed had stopped working (nope! they peaceful labored, they continuously labored!)
Which brings me to right this moment. Nearly a month later every thing peaceful works. So, I made up our minds to seek if a ways flung desktop would magically work another time. The resolution is: Yes. Yes, genuinely, my TV became as soon as the purpose my a ways flung desktop connection had failed the month earlier than.
So right here I’m, sitting on my sofa with my pill and bluetooth keeb and mouse, writing this post in a ways flung desktop mode so I would possibly perchance connect screenshots of this saga to my post with out sitting at my PC. Grendel is snoring beside me as I write.
As a treat for reading this a ways, please be pleased two screenshots of my mates reacting to the resolution of my colossal mystery.
adding: the TV in set apart a query to, whenever you happen to would possibly perchance be queer: Hisense 50Q8G- 50″ Dapper 4K ULED™ Android TV with Quantum Dot Technology (Canada Model)
