An interesting read John. Thank's for the heads up. I learned a bit more about how system firmware works nowadays. I must admit to a bit of a 'black box' attitude when it comes to motherboard firmware. Sort of like my television. I am satisfied with knowing what buttons to press to make it work, and don't need to understand precisely what goes on inside.
OK so this is my first post for 2020, and for a good part of the end of 2019... i.e. since the disastrous (AFAICT) change from Jive. At this stage I was going to comment that I like Speccy for checking things like firmware versions (along with a ton of other information) but I was disappointed to find that I still can't paste directly from the clipboard to a forum post. I couldn't even paste into an image window. I had to save to disk and upload this screen shot. It would make my day if someone could tell me that I am missing a trick, because this forum is not unable if I have to go to that much trouble for every image I want to post
I just checked and there have been 13 firmware updates since P1.5 for my MB 😬
I am further embarrassed to admit that I did once use CCleaner (also a Piriform product) and wished that I haddn't. My gut told me that it was a bad idea, but I thought that it surely couldn't be as problematic as my heart was telling me, as people I knew sweared by it. Thinking back, those same people always had major problems with their systems. So two good points from John's link.
The Premiere Pro Hardware forum guys (Harm Millaard, the Bills and John) would always tell you not to mess with the Windows Page file. There are so many other ways to make space on your boot drive (if that's a problem for you) that you shouldn't need to anyway.
Right, so where is the 'How to Make the Adobe Forums a Painless Experience' thread?
