      You want your backups running but not hogging your computer, right? Here is how to set the CPU priority for the backup process.

      On Windows, just open Task Manager, find your backup app, right-click it, and tap Go to details. Right-click the process there and set the priority to Low.

      It’s that easy. I did this for my old laptop, and I could finally stream videos while backing up. So, next time your backup slows things down, just give it less priority.

        Let me tell you about this weird comment window bug that has been driving people a little nuts. You know when you’re happily typing a comment on a website or maybe even in a chat box, and bam.

        The window suddenly closes, or your whole comment disappears? It’s like the internet’s playing a prank on you. It’s super annoying. I have lost so many good comments to this.

        Usually, it happens because of some glitch in the website code. Sometimes, just refreshing the page or clearing your browser works, but other times, you might need to wait for the site owners to fix it. You are not alone, everyone hates it.

          You want to boot your computer in Safe Mode on Windows 10? It’s easier than you think. All you do is restart, but while it’s booting up, keep pressing F8 or Shift+F8.

          If that does not work, just hit the Start button, hold Shift, and click Restart. Safe Mode can help you fix loads of strange computer problems.

          I tried it when my laptop was acting up, and it saved my day. Give it a shot; nothing scary, promise.

            Simple Tips To Make It Run Faster (No Reset Needed)

            Close Extra Apps: Just open your recent apps, and swipe away anything you are not using anymore. Feels good.

            Clean Up Some Space: Scroll through your photos, videos, and downloads. Delete what you do not need, especially those dozens of screenshots. I cannot be the only one with hundreds, right?

            Restart Your Phone: It sounds too easy, but seriously, a quick restart works like magic for me every time. Just try it.

            Update Your System: See if there is an update waiting for you. Updates fix bugs that could make your phone laggy.

              Your Instagram got hacked, and now someone else changed your email and phone. This is way more common than you would think. It’s like waking up and finding the keys to your house are missing.

              Can You Get Your Account Back?

              You still have a shot. Even if the bad guy changed your info, Instagram has steps to help you recover your account. I have seen people pull it off.

              What Should You Do Now?

              Go to the Instagram Login Page.
              Head to where you’d normally log in, and click on Need more help? under the password box.

              Try Your Old Info.
              Instagram lets you ask for a login link. If you still have any access to your old email or phone, check those inboxes. Even an old account could save you here.

              Proof You are You
              If nothing works, Instagram might ask you to send a selfie video. Just you looking at your phone’s camera. It’s a bit weird, but it helps prove your identity.

              Don’t Give Up.
              Instagram support can be slow, but persistence really does pay off. Keep following up if you don’t hear back fast.

              Final Thought: getting hacked is no fun, but you havegot ways to fight back. Be patient, don’t stop trying, and you might just get your account back.

                What the Heck Is Simpcitt?

                You have seen Simpcitt floating around, and you are like, What is that even mean? You are not alone. Everyone is trying to figure it out right now.

                Why Is Simpcitt Everywhere?

                Simpcitt is just a funny way to talk about being a little bit too into something or someone. Like, maybe your friend cannot stop talking about their favorite singer, or your buddy is always the first in line for every gaming event.

                People are using Simpcitt to call out those super extra moments. And the internet? Oh, it loves this kind of stuff, which is why the word’s popping up everywhere.

                How Do People Use Simpcitt?

                It’s super chill. Next time your friend’s going wild over a new game or show, just laugh and say, That is some Simpcitt energy. No one’s actually getting roasted; it’s all just for fun.

                Why Does It Even Matter?

                I think Simpcitt is trending because it’s so relatable. We all have our moments, right? I totally remember once ordering three different pizzas because my favorite YouTuber said they were good—classic Simpcitt move! And, let’s be real, everyone needs a laugh these days.

                  How I keep my Mac’s desktop neat by making screenshots zoom straight up to iCloud, almost like magic, it’s super easy.

                  First, just go to System Settings, then pick Desktop & Dock and choose iCloud Drive. when you take a screenshot, drag it into your iCloud Drive folder.

                  But you can also change the default screenshot location using Shift-Command-5, then set it to iCloud. You’ll love how tidy your desktop stays. For more info, check out Apple’s support page.

                    Let’s get real for a second; sharing login details with your team can be a total headache. I mean, you don not want to just drop the password in a group chat, right? I did that once, and my account almost got hacked. what is the safest way?

                    Here is what I do:

                    I use a password manager, like LastPass or 1Password. It’s kind of like a super secret diary that only you and your team can open with their own passwords, of course.

                    That way, nobody has to actually see the real password, and you can stop worrying about someone sneaky getting in.

                    And if you must use email or chat, at least break the info up; send the username in one place and the password in another.

                    But really, just get a password manager. It makes things way easier, and your future self will thank you.

                      Hiding your Instagram followers list is not as sneaky or complicated as you might think. So, here is the deal: Instagram does not actually let you hide just your followers list from everyone.

                      But, if you flip your account to private, only the people you approve can see who you follow and who follows you. Honestly, that is the best trick in the book.

                      Just tap your profile. hit those three little lines in the top right corner, and head to Settings. Then, slide over to Privacy and switch on ‘Private Account. That is it

                      I have had to do this before when a nosy cousin kept checking my followers every week. Sometimes, you just want a little privacy, right?

                      And if anyone asks why you’ve gone private, just tell them you’re keeping things low-key. Simple!

                      mayanksingh
                      Participant

                        Your Windows 11 just stops dead sometimes? I feel you. My own laptop once froze halfway through a YouTube binge, and I just sat there staring, like it would fix itself. Spoiler: it did not.

                        One of the best tricks I have picked up over the years is peeking at the Event Viewer. It’s like your computer’s diary, no kidding! Just press Start and type “Event Viewer.” Open it up.

                        Then look under “Windows Logs” for “System” and “Application.” Scroll around the time things went bad, and watch for red “error” or yellow “warning” icons. These logs are where Windows tattles about what went wrong.

                        And here is the thing: sometimes random apps act up and sneakily crash your system. So don’t ignore that application log.

                        Once, I found out my music player was the villain. Give these logs a shot before panicking. You’ll surprise yourself with what you find

                        mayanksingh
                        Participant

                          So your BIOS is not spotting your SSD, and that is super annoying. I have been there; one minute everything works, the next your computer’s acting like your SSD vanished into thin air. And it’s not always as scary as it seems.

                          First, check if your cables are loose. I know, it sounds basic, but even the tiniest bump inside your computer can knock stuff loose.

                          Happened to me once after moving my desk suddenly poof, no SSD! So, just open up your PC and give those cables a gentle push. If you are on a laptop, there is no shame in asking for help.

                          But what if your cables are good? Sometimes, a BIOS update or a random setting can mess things up. head into the BIOS (keep tapping F2, Delete, or whatever your brand uses when turning on)

                          and see if your SSD shows up in the boot list or settings. If not, double-check if AHCI is enabled; some SSDs just don’t like other modes.

                          And if none of this works? Don’t panic yet. SSDs do fail, but it’s rare. Try your SSD in another PC if you can. If it works there, your motherboard might be the culprit.

                          So don’t stress! Most times, it’s a weird setting or a loose cable. Give it a shot; you have got this!

                            Let’s be real: sharing login details with your team can get awkward. You don’t want to blast passwords everywhere, but how else is everyone supposed to get in?

                            I used to just text them, thinking, What could go wrong? Spoiler: a lot! You won’t believe this, but once my buddy’s Wi-Fi password got out, their neighbor started streaming TV shows non-stop. So, there is a better way.

                            If you need to share logins, use a password manager. It’s like a tiny online vault where you keep all your passwords safe.

                            Tools like LastPass, 1Password, or Bitwarden let you share access without your team ever seeing the actual password. And if someone leaves the team?

                            You just turn off their access. so simple! Don’t email passwords. Don’t send them over chat. If you must (really, only if you must), at least do a quick call and change that password after.

                            So, play it smart. Use a password manager, keep your accounts safe, and make life easier for everyone.

                              After my Windows 11 update, my laptop battery drained super fast Let me tell you, it’s usually because the system runs extra stuff in the background or some new features use more power.

                              it sucks, but tweaking settings or waiting for updates helps a lot. So, hang tight it’ll get better

                                Here is a different, friendly structure: imagine you are texting a friend who just asked how to block someone on TikTok. Let’s keep it super clear and natural.

                                Ever had someone on TikTok keep popping up and just, well, annoy you? Really you are not the only one! Blocking someone is way easier than you might think. I’ll walk you through it step by step, like showing a friend how to win in a game.

                                Step 1: Search for Them
                                Open TikTok and type their username in the search bar. Find their profile (even if it’s that cousin who’s always sharing cringey stuff).

                                Step 2: Tap, Tap, Tap
                                Once you are on their profile, see those three little dots in the corner? Tap them! A whole menu will pop out. It’s kind of like opening a secret settings drawer.

                                Step 3: Hit “Block.”
                                Scroll down in that menu until you spot “Block.” Don’t be shy; go ahead and tap it. TikTok will double-check to make sure you mean it hit “Block” again.

                                That’s it. Seriously, it’s done. They won’t be able to see or comment on your videos anymore.
                                I did this once for someone who kept duetting my videos in the weirdest ways.

                                The relief? Instant. You don’t need to feel bad; it’s your account and your space. And if you ever change your mind? Just go to your settings and unblock them.

                                whenever you need a bit of peace on TikTok, now you know exactly how to do it. Remember to always look after yourself online. Blocking is just one little click, but it can make your TikTok way more fun

                                  So you want to install Google Chrome on your Windows 10 laptop or PC? Great choice. Chrome is one of the fastest and easiest browsers out there.

                                  I have been using it for years, and trust me, once you try it, you probably won’t go back. Let me tell you, the whole process takes like 5 minutes—if that. No tech skills needed. Seriously.

                                  Step 1: Open Any Browser You Have Right Now
                                  You probably have Microsoft Edge on your computer. Just open that. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but we only need it this one time.

                                  Step 2: Search for “Download Google Chrome”
                                  Type that into the search bar and hit enter. You’ll see a link that says google.com/chrome—click it. Make sure you’re clicking the official Google site and not some random ad. (Been there, clicked that. Big mistake.)

                                  Step 3: Hit the “Download Chrome” Button
                                  You can not miss it. Big blue button. Click it, then choose “Run” or “Save” when the pop-up shows up. I usually click “Run” because it starts installing right away.

                                  Step 4: Wait a Few Seconds and Follow the Prompts
                                  Chrome will do its thing—download, install, and then pop open. You’ll probably see a shortcut on your desktop, too. Boom, you’re done.

                                  Note: But here is the best part—once you have Chrome, everything feels quicker. Websites load faster, it’s easier to sync with your Google account, and honestly, it just works better for most things.
