    Well computers can drive you nuts. Just be sure to do some full restarts before giving up. If fast start is enabled I would disable that. With fast start Windows begins from a hard drive file instead of loading up as a brand new start. This saves a few seconds during start up but can "keep"...

    Interesting, in my windows experience (all the way back to the beginning) if you received the newest driver from a trusted source (pc manufacturer site) I would try it. When working on Windows machines and a non suitable display driver is installed a restart should give you enough display to...

    Good thinking @Needa - There maybe something there being on board graphics @Clovishound - you likely know this but the bios settings can "mess things up" if incorrectly set (no warnings usually) take notes and don't fret if you have a no boot. Just go back and change back what you try. A...

    Additional thoughts - If your PC has a standard HD and not a SSD that could be a limiter for sure. For food for thought you could contact a trusted suppler of PC's for Photography (such as B&H) to see what their thoughts are to help with the slowness of light room. Someone like that could clue...

    Assuming you are on Windows 11 if its there it should be here (see below) if its not there the on board graphics may not support HAGS I looked at our lap-top and its not there - maybe try to toggle off optimizations for windows games as a test

    Nikonbill's 2026 random photos

    Our clematis vine has a neat story, my wife has always loved plants and flowers and this vine was at our back porch with a trellis to grow on since we have owned our house (40 years) for our retirement in 2025 we removed the porch and added a sun room. I carefully dug out the clematis vine and...

    Wow - that's crazy - Please forgive me for not remembering how much of a computer nerd you are (how much you dig in to your PC). Just for fun I googled the "issue" you lay out and found much relating to the maintenance and setup of light rooms catalog and hardware settings. to avoid some...

    I see you have had no responses for a while. I can add some input on my own de-noising adventures. I also have Topaz photo AI and a working copy (for now) of topaz Photo (the new one) I let that subscription run out last spring I'm at V1.3.3but it still functions. Topaz AI and photo work...

    Frustration with Nikon Imaging Cloud software

    Sounds like you have a plan (y) I just wanted to add, it would be very unlikely for Nikon to initiate a "real time" software update over WiFi. Most likely the file is fully acquired to memory before the actual update process is begun (like any modern computer), this would mitigate any risk of...

    help with focus

    The wide area mode, there are two (large and small) did amaze me when I had my Z50 they were amazingly effective at moving stuff. From what I read in Nikon's info that mode is a hybrid take on "groups" (just my understanding) with more processor based subject recognition. I understand on...

    Frustration with Nikon Imaging Cloud software

    As a suggestion maybe review the official Nikon video regarding the cloud service to see if you have missed something. I also think its important to verify you are wanting the temporary cloud service and not just transferring directly to your PC. The way I read your post you want to upload to...
