  Asus recently released a new version of native software to overclock and to monitor their motherboards. Few words first. This software some users found buggy, other report not effective - preferring manual overclocking. IMHO this utility is worth trying especially if you are new to overclocking and afraid to burn the CPU or memory or other chips. Another reason to using it is ability to easy control Asus`s custom controllers - EPU and TPU those are using for better control stability and power consumption of your system. But this software really have some problems with Windows even though you can ignore most of this errors. For example,  in Win 8 and Windows 10 when system starts there is an error when  starting DIP power service and this leads to set your power mode every time when system starts - not serious  but a bit annoying.  So that is why every update users wait and hope bugs will be fixed and it will  become more useful.   ...

  A bit less then a week ago  Lenovo presented a new Moto (rola) model - Moto Z and Moto Z Force. I am following the ex-Motorola Mobility`s life with a special interest. It looks like Lenovo has no idea how to deal with Motorola`s legacy. And , sad to say, seems that I was right. After 2015 year when they (Lenovo) made  just another  remake of the Moto X generation without any serious innovations - only one that is shutter proof screen - they decided to do something.  First was new Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus -I am going to skip talk about this models because there is nothing interesting to say about them. I note only that this models looks more like another - ZUK (Lenovo`s other brand) model. Hard to notice anything that will looks like Moto style design. Previous G models also had simple design but they looks much nicer.        Now Moto Z - they try to repeat the success of Razr models, but if you had Razrs in your hand , you notice...

This is just a quick solution for those, who suffering from this apps not working. This bug was discovered about a month ago after first wave of Windows 10 updates.  I thought  it will be fixed soon with another update, but seems  MS not going to fix so I better wrote this workaround. Symptoms: Mail app stop getting emails or hangs during start or (mainly Error 0x8007054e) shows error when you try to add account to it (same account problem with Calendar).    Reinstalling this apps from the Store does not help. Solution: Reboot, then without starting any apps go to  %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local and remove (or move to another location) folder Comms .   That's it ! Now can add accounts and continue using this apps !

 Its appears to be a common problem with this network adapters and server versions of Windows. This post solves problem with Server 2012R2, but it can be used for other versions of Windows Server i.e 2008, 2008R2, 2012 and 2016. There are now official drivers for Intel I211-AT and Intel I218V. But there are drivers for same adapters with different letter indexes. Idea is simple - Intel separates chips for desktop and server versions, forcing  to setup more expensive versions of this chips for servers. I`m not sure if there any serious difference, but  Asus  use desktop versions for their motherboards since they targets for desktop segment. So its incorrect to blame Asus for not supporting Server versions of Windows on support page. At the same time many users would like to install Windows  server  OS on their Asus motherboards. Funny situation - Gigabyte uses cheap Realtek network adapters on their motherboards and have no problems. But Intel adapt...
