Troubleshooting

During shut down or reboot, my system will be stuck at the message

“Configuring Windows Features 100% – Please do not turn off your computer” intermittently, even though I have never performed a Windows Update operation.

When you see this message, Windows is performing an automatic uninstallation of unused language packs to free up more space on your system.

The duration depends on how many languages are being removed, as it will accumulate if the system is never shutdown/rebooted for a period of time.

To avoid seeing this message again, you can perform the following workaround procedures to manually remove the language packs that you don’t need:

1. On your Desktop, press “Start” and type “lpksetup”.
2. Click on “Uninstall display languages”.
3. Select the languages you wanted to remove and click “Next”.
4. A progress bar will appear to give feedback on the uninstallation process.

These steps might take more than an hour. It’s advisable to run this when the system is not actively in use.

How do I enable/disable NVIDIA G-SYNC?

Right-click the desktop and select “NVIDIA Control Panel”. Under “Display” select “Set up G-SYNC”. From here you can choose to enable or disable G-SYNC.

should I do?
