Adjusted system preferences and file configurations for CMOS CMOS settings.
Adjusted system preferences and file configurations for CMOS CMOS settings.
I needed to activate the clear CMOS feature on my motherboard since fast boot was enabled, which blocked access to the BIOS menu. Now I can use it again, but some desktop folders are missing. Previous searches suggested only BIOS changes, yet Windows seems to have reset to an older recovery state. Files deleted from my desktop weeks back reappear when I boot, and folders/files I had before clearing CMOS vanish. My downloads folder shows old files instead of recent ones. All storage drives are working properly, though I’m curious about the issue. Also, I experienced display problems on first boot after clearing—about two minutes for PC to sort dual displays. Can someone clarify what happened?
I observed several applications I had saved to my taskbar disappearing, and a program relying on online licensing informed me that its license was already active on my device, preventing deactivation without reaching out to their support team. My recycling container was also overflowing with more than 100GB of data that I had previously deleted and removed from the bin. What’s happening?
I notice several changes in your setup. Some programs you used were fully removed, like Afterburner for managing GPU fan curves. This might have caused your GPU to overheat while rendering with Octane. Could you clarify what the CMOS clear does or if something unexpected happened? Checking online should help since most people say it only affects BIOS.
