(Using Win7)
Going on three days ago I decided to Enable the "Windows Away Mode" option on the Advanced Tab of the Ceton Diagnostics Tool.
I did so because I was diagnosing a plethora of things. And u know what(?) it made a big difference. Helped enormously.
Pros:
1. No longer -- for sake of successfully Tuning both Non-Copyright Protected and Copyright Protected channels -- do I have to stop then re-start WMC Recorder Service each and every time after Restarting or Shutting Down and Starting Cold.
2. And I was able to repair PlayReady pretty easily too -- using PlayReadyPC_x64.msi (v1.30).
A. Opened PlayReadyPC_x64.msi (v1.30).
B. It uninstalled the current version.
C. Opened it again and it installed v1.30.
D. Restarted the PC.
Cons:
1. Extenders (Xbox360) started acting up (due to Enabling the "Windows Away Mode" option on the Advanced Tab of the Ceton Diagnostics Tool) which is what led to successfully fixing PlayReady. So it's not rally a con. Just listing it as one because it was obviously what started the Extenders to start acting-up.
So I don't know, if ppl other than myself, have ever disabled then later on re-enabled "Windows Away Mode" option on the Advanced Tab of the Ceton Diagnostics Tool. I just wanted to mention it here in case it helps anyone else.
Just remember, never fool around without first making a Full Backup Image of your OS Drive. And only do so if it's totally necessary.
