Something is using my computer to upload things

im running windows 1709, ive had it set to metered connection to avoid unwanted updates

i havent been able to play any online video games since windows last updated because my latency spikes up to 1000+ ms every minute or so

this is the same thing that happens whenever i upload a picture to send to someone so i know something is uploading things

i know it must be my computer because ive changed the wifi password and not told the new one to anyone

i think it's almost definitely windows but it could be a keylogger

windows data usage shows cortana and the windows store using up 5-6 mb of data even though i use neither

it doesnt have to be a large amount of data to cause lag spikes

i dont know what to do, closing cortana and the windows store via task manager doesnt work because they immediately start back up

im pretty sure ive disabled all the data collection bs in my privacy settings

pls help

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
