New Location Recommendation: Lehigh Valley, PA
Micro Center was and still is my favorite store to just go browse and get deals on PC parts and just a place to go for a while and get away from life.

Can someone fix some issues on the "Inland Parts Pack Components Kit" document?
I graduated with EE in 2012 and have done software since then. I've wanted to get back into electronics.

I found the only sure-fire fix was to roll back to 23H2 for fixing this. I know some Ubisoft titles, and Activision's Black Ops 6 were suffering from when users were automatically updated to 24H2. There are literally hundreds of YouTube videos and clips that tried to explain fixes for it, but the only one that works is…
