I should have done this a long time ago. Swapping between speakers and headset in windows sucks ass. Somebody solved that problem with a thing called SoundSwitch that lives in your system tray and lets you do it with a press of a button or even a goddamn hot key. Sick.

Had an annoying issue today. For MechWarrior Online, I use Nvidia Control Panel to span my three monitors into one virtual one. Well today I wanted to turn that off and I couldn’t open the damn thing.
Updating the driver through Geforce experience did not resolve it. I had to uninstall the driver within Device Manager and let Windows automatically get it again and that reset the displays back to default and also actually solved the inability to launch the Nvidia Control Panel.
Run netplwiz and uncheck “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
It will ask you for your current password, then you are done.
Now to prevent Windows from asking for a password when you come back from suspend, search for ‘sign-in’ > set “If you’ve been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?” to ‘Never’
