When I open Google Chrome on Windows 10, it crashes the system almost instantly, why? TL;DR  When I open Google Chrome on Windows 10, it crashes the system almost instantly.  In detail: My laptop stops responding (freezes) and I can hear louder cooling (supposedly higher CPU usage due to system dump generation). Then, I long press the power button.  All other installed browsers (Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox) work OK.  How can I debug this?  Long version  I haven't used Windows in a month or so.  I work on Linux, but I have a Windows 10 too for Blu-ray playback mostly.  Current Windows 10 version:  1709 (OS Build 16299.248)   I have just manually installed the latest update from :  windows10.0-kb4058258-x64_69f87cf7f2ea83509d5e61ba2d525a103a6d64f9.msu   The installation was successful, although the problem persists.  I have also manually downloaded an updated version of Google Chrome and successfully installed it:  64.0.3282.140 (Official Build) (64-bit)   I have also disabled Fast startup by setting the following registry key to 0:  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\HiberbootEnabled   And checked the file system with:  chkdsk c: /f   How can I debug this?    EDIT1:    I tried Anonymous mode, the same result. Strange is, after some boot, it does not crash. I'm confused and irritated.    EDIT2:  I have just turned on  not only for services but for everything:    It didn't have any effect, just tried it. Leaving it enabled.    EDIT3:  I cannot switch user profile, as it crashes instantly my OS. Though, I tried Anonymous mode, with the same result.    EDIT4:  I ran these commands with all good results, no corruption detected and such, from PowerShell:  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth   Afterward, I have scanned the OS with SFC utility for any violations. Again, no result.  C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; sfc /scannow Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.   EDIT5:  As of this moment, I am scanning my system with , which I had installed since the system has been started using time-to-time, I have an SSD and a HDD, I will report back.  EDIT6:  I am still in progress with , but I have finished scan with , with no results, tracks only. I had this software installed since the same time I use Windows 10 with  too.  EDIT7:   did not find any malware. I am now up to running  over night in safe mode. Will get back to you tomorrow with results.  EDIT8:   did find 11 instances of malicious files. Removed 7 of them. Currently I'm looking for a good AntiVirus and AntiSpyware software, maybe better than  to run in trial mode or freeware tool to remove this mess.  EDIT9:  I have found several high quality solutions like , which I have just purchased. Many others are running.    As you can see, my CPU has a lot to do right now, I will get back.
How can I remove malicious spyware, malware, adware, viruses, trojans or rootkits from my PC? What should I do if my Windows computer seems to be infected with a virus or malware?  What are the symptoms of an infection? What should I do after noticing an infection? What can I do to get rid of it? how to prevent from infection by malware?   This question comes up frequently, and the suggested solutions are usually the same. This community wiki is an attempt to serve as the definitive, most comprehensive answer possible.

Make Windows 10 stop installing driver software automatically For $x$ and $\lambda$ complex, if $|x| \gt \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|}$ then $|x^2+\lambda| \gt |x| +1$ Define $f(z) = z \ ^ 2 + \lambda$ and $V = \left\{x \in \Bbb C : |x| \gt \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|} \right\}$, for some $\lambda \in \Bbb C$.   Then, if $x \in V$ then $|f(x)| \gt |x| +1$.   I tried the following :   Let $x\in V$ then $|f(x)| = |x \  ^ 2 +\lambda | \ge |x |  \ ^ 2 - | \lambda| \gt (\frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|}) \  ^ 2 - |\lambda| = 1.5 + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|} $.  But this doesn't get me anywhere. Robust method to extract "pure" part of a variable I am trying to perform a multi linear regression model:  $$y_i = β_0 + β_1x_{i1} + β_2x_{i2} +... + β_px_{ip} + ε_i$$  where $$x_{i1}, x_{i2}, ..., x_{ip}$$ are highly correlated with each other (VIFs can be as low as 5 and high as 30).  I am just wondering if there exists a procedure with the following properties:  1) extracts the pure part of each independent variable, where pure is defined as a part of the variable which is uncorrelated with other variables.  2) the pure part and the original variable should be similar to each other, whether similar is defined as moments such as mean and variance and correlation coefficient (ideally >0.90) What information does the trace of a matrix give? I was recently thinking what information do we get from a matrix. So if we say the columns (or rows) of a matrix define the basis of a system, say vectors of 3 dimensional space. Then the determinant will tell about the volume of the space enclosed by those vectors. Does trace give any information about the space?

Since Ubuntu 18.04 I can't drag a file e.g. image file to an open application such as Inkscape or  email message window. In Ubuntu 17.10 I was able to select the image file by clicking on it, and while holding down left mouse button I would hit the supper key displaying all open windows where for there I could then drop the file in any open app or folders. This is no longer possible/default behaviour since Ubuntu 18.04. Is there a workaround that would allow me to achieve this or even a way to recreate the same behaviour like in 17.10? Check for column name in a SqlDataReader object How do I check to see if a column exists in a SqlDataReader object?  In my data access layer, I have create a method that builds the same object for multiple stored procedures calls.  One of the stored procedures has an additional column that is not used by the other stored procedures.  I want to modified the method to accommodate for every scenario.  My application is written in C#. Suppose I have an Atwood machine, that is, two different masses connected with an inextensible, massless rope over a pulley. Assuming no friction between the rope and the pulley, the heavier mass will accelerate towards the ground, the lighter mass will accelerate towards the pulley, and the rope will accelerate towards the heavier mass. These three accelerations will be equal in magnitude. But this makes no sense to me. Force causes acceleration. But there is no force acting on the rope. And even if there was, the acceleration of the rope would be infinite because its mass is 0. So why does the rope accelerate? And how can the magnitude of this acceleration be finite? How to set an alias on a per-directory basis? Suppose you have an alias go, but want it to do different things in different directories?  In one directory it should run cmd1, but in another directory it should run cmd2  By the way, I have an aliases for switching to the above directories already, so is it possible to append the go alias assignment to the foo alias?  alias "foo=cd /path/to/foo"   Working in bash(?) on OSX.

In Minecraft Java Edition, one can summon baby zombies and drowned using the IsBaby NBT tag: /summon zombie X Y Z {IsBaby:1b}  Likewise, one can summon baby breedable mobs (Pigs, Cows, etc.) by giving them a negative Age NBT tag (the number of ticks until the mob grows up): /summon cow X Y Z {Age:-100000}  Since NBT is inaccessible from commands in Bedrock Edition, the above commands will not work there. How do I summon baby mobs in Minecraft Bedrock Edition? Did Stephen Baxter or Arthur C. Clarke's estate ever comment on continuing "A Time Odyssey"? 2007 book "Firstborn", the third and last book of "" trilogy by Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke - an "orthoquel" to "2001: A Space Odyssey" - ends with a cliffhanger which obviously implies continuation:      Myra said, “My God.Charlie? ”  Bisesa stared. “Who is ‘we’?”  “We call ourselves the Lastborn. We are at war. We are losing.” She held out her hands. “Please. Come with me now.”  Bisesa and Myra, still hugging each other, reached out their free hands. Their fingertips touched Charlie’s.  A clash of cymbals.   However, sadly, Sir Arthur died in 2008, with no further books forthcoming.  Did Stephen Baxter  or Arthur C. Clarke's estate ever comment on continuing "A Time Odyssey" after 2008?  Wikipedia has no info:     The 2008 Gollancz edition of the most recent book describes itself on the cover as the "Conclusion" of the series, but the plot is not concluded in the book. The immediate threat is averted but the enemy is not defeated, suggesting that further novels in the series were intended. With the death of Clarke, one of the two authors, it is not clear whether these will be written. I am in 1.13 Pre-Release 7 trying to make a one command creation and I need an item with a specific name. The command I use is /give @p diamond_sword{display:{Name:"Sword of Power"}} and it gives my a diamond sword, but it doesn't have the name.   This is me running the command.   This is the command not working. I want to know how to get the X and Y position of HTML elements such as img and div in JavaScript relative to the browser window. R code to solve for probability of normal distributions? I don't understand which R code I am supposed to be using to figure these problems out. I brief explanation of what the code is doing would be amazing. The problems below are two different applications I'm expected to understand and I don't get either. Thank you!  Problem 1. Let Z~N(0,1) For each of the following, find c such that the equation is true.   a) P(Z&lt;c) = 0.8413  b) P(0&lt;Z&lt;c) = 0.3051  c) P(-c&lt;Z&lt;c) = 0.8664   Problem 2. X~N(3,4) compute  a) P(X&gt;3)  b) P(1&lt;X&lt;8)  c) P(-1.5&lt;X&lt;1) I have an iPhone with 100+ notes that I've collected over the last ten years (thanks to migrating from my PalmPilot). I realize that I can now synchronise these with Gmail, but that doesn't allow me to edit them from my computer. I'd rather switch to use a new app/website combo which allows for online editing of notes, automatic OTA syncing, etc.  It seems like Simplenote and Evernote are two of the better app/sites, as mentioned at  and from this , I think Simplenote is exactly what I'm looking for. The problem is, I can't figure out how to migrate all of my existing notes into whatever new notes app I choose.  How do I migrate my existing Apple iOS Notes into Simplenote or Evernote?  The best workaround I've found so far is to open each note, select all, copy, and create a new note in the iOS app but I'd rather not spend the time and hassle doing this for ~100 notes. Why is the laboratory frame energy always greater than the center of mass frame energy? I have been looking for an answer to 'Why is the laboratory frame energy always greater than the center of mass frame energy during collisions?'.  A lot of resources provided mathematical explanations. I wanted to get some perspectives in terms of physics.  Could you explain this?
