Winget UI is an Easy Way to Keep Your Windows Programs and Apps Up to Date!

WingetUI is a very easy-to-use tool for installing and updating Windows software. Winget is a great package manager included with Windows, but it requires use of the Command Line, which many people find very intimidating. WingetUI provides a Graphical User Interface that allows user to point and click to accomplish the same things without typing a bunch of cryptic commands. WingetUI can be downloaded for free at https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI

Possible Fix for Starfield Not Launching With an Intel Arc A770 Graphics Card

According to Bethesda, Starfield does not actually support the Intel Arc A770 graphics card. By updating manually updating the drivers, it is possible to at least get Starfield to launch. (According to some other A770 owners, the driver updater built into the Arc software doesn’t do a good job of actually finding the most updated driver, so you MUST go find the driver manually.) In my experience, the game doesn’t run great and isn’t THAT stable, but it will at least run, unlike when it first first launched.

Below is a YouTube showing how to download and install the first version of the driver (31.0.101.4672) that allowed Starfield to launch (for me anyway). The latest version support release of the driver (31.0.101.4900 as of the time of writing) that works even better can be downloaded from Intel here. This driver has NOT went through the full WHQL process (yet), but I’ve never had any issues with Intel’s beta drivers and often the beta releases have allowed things to run several weeks before they are released as fully supported WHQL drivers.

Windows 10 Lockscreen Picture Saver

TLDR Version: Download the program below to make it easy to save Windows 10 Lockscreen Images. Extract the file and run the .exe with the blue icon. Double-click on any lockscreen wallpaper you wish to save. Point to the folder where you want to save it and give it a filename. Click “Save.” Enjoy your saved lockscreen wallpapers!

Please Note: I have tested this program on my own computer and it seems to work well. I don’t expect it will cause you any problems. HOWEVER, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause! Use this program at your own risk.

Detailed Description: If you have a Windows 10 computer, you may notice that Microsoft puts some absolutely beautiful pictures on your lockscreen (the thing you see before you get logged into your machine). Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t make it very easy to save these images so you can use them later on your desktop, put them back on the lock screen, or whatever else you want to do with them.

I sat down this evening and wrote a little program in C# that lets you see all the lockscreen images that have been downloaded to your computer. If you see one you want to keep, you simply double click on its thumbnail and you get the option to save it wherever you like. The files come from Microsoft as a jpg, so my program saves them that way as well.

You can download this zip file and extract it. Run the .exe in the resulting folder (it’s the file with the little blue icon) and you’ll see all the images in the folder that contains the downloaded lockscreen wallpapers.
