Just to cladify, most Digital Stores will only download the language Pack of your system. That’s why when you change the game’s language on Steam it needs to download a patch. It is download the language you selected and deleting the previous one.

Even through toy have to download them, doesn’t mean you have to keep them. After download ING you can go to the install action path and the delete the other two games you don’t want.

I’ve tried it but no luck…

That 100% disk usage problem was definitely not rare. I had this issue with almost everything Windows 10 computer using an HDD as the system drive.

Unfortunately, I did a fresh install of Windows but it did not work.

No Dynamic Background whatsoever, I still have the default wallpaper.

Unfortunately, Event Viewer has no Warnings or Alerts around the time that it occurs.

Windows Defrag says “0 days since last retrim”. So I will take a look on the firmware update. Thanks

Downloaded the installer directly via Microsoft website.

Unfortunately, I have no other OS on this drive. Only Windows 11. I have narrowed down the problem to a insanely high Response Time on Resource Monitor (up to 2000ms). It is usually the “System” process that is having this high Response Time. Any way of fixing or at least knowing the root cause of this?

I do not know what kind of software it is but would it survive a complete formatting of the drive?

What’s better than going to the main inspiration of Spider games? Insomniac already said that a huge inspiration of their games is the Batman Arkham Series. They play very similarly but with Arkham being more focused on stealth and puzzles. The first one, Arkham Asylum is more of a metroidvania than an open world, so I think you could start with Arkham City (the second one). As for Zelda, you could try one of its copycats, Genshin is one of them, the other one would be Fenyx Rising, a Ubisoft game. I have never played, but from what Ive read, it’s pretty good.

Since I don’t have the money to buy new headphones. Is it possible to have something that does Echo Cancellation on Windows? Maybe something that creates a virtual microphone that hears for the output and “subtract” it from the mic’s input?

Thank you for your long response. Here is the additional info:

Are you connected via jack? Try connecting via USB instead. The jack has a TRRS connector and PCs usually only have TRS. This shouldn’t cause any problems normally, but idk what JBL or your PC is doing

Yes, I’m using the green/pink cables but my headphone does not have USB so I can’t test using the USB. I did not understand the TRRS and TRS so I guess I will have to do a little research to understand it.

Are you using Stereo Mix on your control panel > sound settings? Switch over to the actual mic and disable the Stereo Mix. That could be what’s causing your audio doubling

The Stereo Mix was one of my first tries. So I’m pretty sure it is not it that is causing this.

Have you tried this without EQ APO installed? Try fully uninstalling it and ensuring sound devices are set correctly. EQ APO could for whatever reason be mixing your output and input. It’s been a while since I’ve used EQ APO, but I only used it for audio output

I installed EQ APO recently to have a more global approach to Noise Reduction instead of having to enable it in every platform. Having 20db preamped does not come cheap. So the effect happens even without it.

Is the mic not disabling correctly and picking up audio from the headphones’ speakers? Try lowering audio output to a minimum and seeing if that changes the volume of your echo. Ask another person to help test

When I lower the audio using the headphone’s built-in control the echo also lowers. So If I “Mute” the headphone using the slider there is no echo.

If possible, can you try a different cable? The cable could just be faulty. Wherever you got it from might have a spare to try

The headphones’ cable is non-detachable so I’m not sure how I can test a different cable.

Is the USB or are drivers the problem? Get a TRRS splitter (3.5mm, 1 female to 2 male), and split the mic audio from the headphone audio

The headphone comes with a cable extension that has 1x 3.5mm female on one side where I connect the headphone and 2x 3.5mm males (green and pink) on the other side where I connect to the computer. Is this what you are referring?

Get new headphones or claim warranty on them (if you have it). My cursory googling showed that this problem has cropped up with a reddit user, and they ended up buying new headphones. If you do end up buying new headphones, I highly recommend buying a solid pair of wired headphones and a mic separately. It’ll be more cables, but much easier to swap out if things go wrong, and a good pair of headphones will last you a good 5+ years.

Unfortunately, no more warranty on this one. I’m planning, in the far future, to buy a cheap DAC to plug-in a headphone, a microphone and an electric guitar so I can use all of them on the computer at the same time that I can use the headphones as monitors for the microphone and the guitar. Is this possible?

Not exactly, Lemmy. But Meta created a new app similar to Twitter and said they will join the Fediverse with this app in the future, só you could potentially interaction with Threads’ content with your Lemmy or Mastodon account without having to create a Meta account or downloadind their app.
