How to update Windows 10 with a Conexant driver? | 2021

Update. The video does not cover where to find updated drivers, but the best (and safest) place is through your computer's support site. For those with an ASUS F51OUA, the latest audio driver is version 8.66.95.69 which is also later than the drivers listed. My ASUS laptop is great, but it came with a Conexant audio driver - many laptops did. But Conexant went bust and does not update its drive...

Multiple Drives BACKUP - WINDOWS 10 | 2020
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 года назад
Windows 10 has a good backup system. But it is not very clear, if you want to swap hard drives to rotate backups regularly, how to restart the old backup. The trick is to go to File History in settings and tell Windows to use the previous File History backup. Windows then remembers the previously chosen folders, finds the previous backup data and adds new data to that. Excellent!

How to turn OFF Ambient Display in Android!

How to turn off Ambient Display in Android 7.0 when the options does not appear in the Display settings. Couple of extra steps are required...
I heard about it through amazon before I bought the unit... but given that I always use a wired connection, not wifi, I proceeded anyway. Soon find out whether it ends up being workable or not in the future.
what about files in folder, for example video files and their names?
Same issue here with one bought last week from Amazon UK.
Had same issue today thanks for the video. I already hit the return button for Amazon.
Omg thanks for the video. I was trouble shooting the last 2 days.But I don't think that Satechi care. After your video, I searched a little bit more. It seems that even the older version had the problem and the variant without the ssd slot. On the German amazon site, I found a question from 2009 with the same problem. You can buy these hub still everywhere. So it don't seems that Satechi is doing something. If you look on their help site, they just recommend to switch to 2.4ghz. So it don't seems that it is a just a bad batch.
PS: I would say, the problem is the cable. I put a belkin usb c hub between Mac and Satechi Hub. The Problem is not gone, but a little bit better. Even if I check my router, there you can see the exact connection speed.
I have prove 2 different USB HUBs in Mac mini M2 and same results and similar with Wifi issue. Both Hubs are USB C 3.2 with 4 USB up to 10Gbps. One from Aliexpress, cheap one, so I think was device problem. The second is Acer hub with 4 usb (3xUSB-A + 1xUSB-C) each one up to 10Gbps. Any hub has extra power to plug. What do you suggest? The problem is that 5GHz connection is missing, Mac mini only recognizes 2.4 GHz connection and it is much slower than you got a "no internet connection" error
I’ve run into the same issue. Someone in the Amazon reviews suggested using a hub, instead of connecting it directly to the Mac (Studio M1 Max, in my case) I tried that. I do get better WiFi speeds, buuuuuttttttttt……… My NVMe speed went from 900+ to a pitiful 30/35 Mbps…… Which is totally unusable/unacceptable/worthless… I might try if I can get a wired connection, but I don’t think my wife wants to have tripwires around the house, from my studio room to the living room…..🤓
I ran into it too! I played through the same thing and experienced the same thing!
So dumb you have to do every game individually, they should add a migrate all function.
Interesting. I had no end of problems connecting to Wi-Fi on the new MacMini I bought together with the Satechi Hub. I attributed it to the fact that our overall internet speed hardwired is a modest 55mbps and my home office is away from the house and reliant on Wi-Fi. As a solution I fitted some new extenders and whilst my test is not as sophisticated as the one here, I did note that my HP laptop runs at twice the speed of my Mac when using Wi-Fi in the same location. I am about to try the Mac Mini without the Satechi hub and see how I get on.
Good Luck! Wish Satechi would be a bit more open about this...
I tried WiFi without the Satechi hub and achieved Mbps 3 times the speed when the hub was connected. The speed is not particularly fast anyway but enough for me to work from home. I should add that this was not a particularly sophisticated measurement activity and I just used an online internet speed provider. As the Mac Mini is relatively new Apple support were baffled by the problems I was having with WiFi. Given my circumstances I have had ti find what I think is a workaround. When I connect the Satechi cable to the Mac I have used a different thunderbolt port and the speed is better
I loose all WiFi signal and I bought it on marketplace so I can’t return it to anyone
thanks for the video,, I may refrain from buying this unit.. such a shame, it seemed like the most promising product
Thanks for highlighting the WIFI issue. Does this apply for Satechi Mac Mini Hub without NVME.M2 SSD slot ?
Sorry, don't know... Satechi, and the various review sites, seem very quiet on this. Apart from the reply I received from their support I know nothing else.
@@papootech9296 Well, because of your video, I ordered Minisopuru Mac Mini Hub instead of Satechi. Tq
Would be great if you could run a disk speed test on the NVME drive and report the results!
Did they replace the unit and did it fix the wifi?
Sadly, no they did not replace, simply said to contact Amazon (where I bought it), and they have never updated whether they have managed to fix the issue - I am not aware of any official comment from the company apart from the reply I got from customer service. I assume there is a large batch of faulty units that have never been recalled sitting in warehouses.
Thanks for making this video! I encountered the same issue and findings when using it with a Mac Studio M1. Not only is the bandwidth reduced, a compromise I might have tolerated, but the hub also causes packet loss, resulting in unreliable network services.
hmmm.. same here, the instant i connect the box, it loses the 5Ghz wifi, it tries to switch over to the 2.4Ghz albeit at a much lower speed and but struggles and keeps dropping packets ... tried different ports but not much difference...
Yup, you will have one of the faulty units. Satechi recommends returning the unit (their reply is in the video description).
Same here but with two different hubs connected and no Satechi brand, one of them was Acer
Same problem
Update: See above. Satechi have confirmed there is a faulty batch...
Darn, I’m doubting now if I really want to buy this hub. I just ordered my Mac mini and this product caught my attention. Maybe I should reach out to them and double confirm it is just a batch 🤞🏽
It's a great product (if it works!). I'd certainly only buy from someone who would take it back if faulty...
The same problem here with my Mac Mini M2 Pro. Too bad. I will send the hub back as the suggested solutions don't work for me either.
Maaaaan, was excited about possibly ordering this hub for my m2 pro as well. Guess I should look for an alternative. I mostly just want a way to connect my camera’s sd card
I tried wrapping the cable with aluminium and it did make it a drop better. But you don’t buy a 100 dollar box to wrap it with aluminium and still don’t have full speed.
I have received a reply from Satechi, and copied the advice into the description section.
And did it help?I can’t believe this is a solution and that it will help long term
@@junger613No, still an obvious speed drop.
same problem with Mac mini m1, tis is horrible.
I'm seeing the exact same behavior on mine with an M1 Max Mac Studio. Perhaps it's not properly grounded and it causes interference with the wifi signal, or there's to enough clearance between the hub and the mini/studio, I believe the antennas are located in the bottom of both devices. I have sent an email to Satechi to see if they have anything to comment.
Thanks for the comment. I also emailed Satechi and had no reply...
Well it's cool and all but I wanted a controller based htpc and I made an htpc console from my laptop. Using am xbox one controller, I can access everything from kodi. But this is cool for those that want a mouse point and click htpc setup. Great job man, u got a sub
Quick. Convenient. To the point. That's a how to 👍 Mission: success ☺️
if i follow this will it transfer the games to new PC at the point i left off at
will this work on moving to new computer with win 11
Hi thx for info. But I'm not to technical. I have many steam games on old win 10 hdd and want to put each game into a new ssd. How to do that? Then I guess I put USB into win 11. so how do I play the games that are in external ssd on new laptop win 11?
Thank you so much for the walk through. Did this on Win11. One think that may help others to add right click properties, and select open Maximized.
Thank you
Many thanks!
Man thanks a lot
Finally an explanation I understood. Many thanks
Perfect :)
Thanks for the video. Very direct and informative
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cheers mate! Beers on me!
What if after updating it, it stopped working. What do i do?
You're a lifesaver
Best explanation on RUclips to date. So many others skipped the crucial aspect of executing software on the PC first to get to just the BIN file. From other videos, I almost loaded the full downloaded file across to the SD card. You must only load the BIN file to the top level of SD card. Subscribing....
Tha exactly what my husband needed to find! Thank you for your help,😊
Thank you, you are the best.
The trouble is you get errors like ''the folder must be empty'' and Move install folder" option, and it wont also show me the option to to install the game to a different location! Sorry not simple at all.
Brilliant, cheers for the info.
not easy for dump like me.
thank you so much!
❤️
Thank you for explaining every detail of updating firmware. I watched 2 other videos that did not cover this issue completely. Thanks to you I successfully updated my firmware.
Glad it helped
When I did it a notification came up that said folder must be empty
I want to move a game or install it in a different folder but in the same drive (C:/Games) i already added it as a new library folder but it wont show me the "Move install folder" option, and it wont also show me the option to to install the game to a different location
Same here!
