Clash Verge is a widely used proxy client on Windows, helping users optimize network access and manage traffic routing. At the same time, many people also run VMware Workstation or VMware Player on the same PC to host virtual machines (VMs). However, when Clash Verge is running on the host PC, the VMware virtual machines may experience problems with no internet connectivity. Why the Virtual Machine Has No Internet By default, newly created VMware virtual machines use NAT (Network Address Translation) networking mode. In NAT mode, the VM connects to the internet via the host’s virtual network adapter, appearing to external networks as part of the host machine. ...

Previously, we published a blog post about fixing the 0x80071772 error when installing WSL applications. Today, we’re tackling another common WSL error - “wsl: localhost proxy configuration detected but not mirrored to WSL. WSL in NAT mode does not support localhost proxy.” Cause Analysis Many users run certain software on Windows that requires modifying the system proxy settings, which can trigger this error in WSL. Here’s the specific reason: Your Windows host has a local proxy set up, such as 127.0.0.1:1080, but this proxy configuration is not properly mirrored into the Linux subsystem inside WSL. Under WSL’s NAT network mode, localhost (127.0.0.1) is isolated between WSL and the Windows host. ...

Programmers have a joke - the best Linux distribution is Windows. Since the introduction of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), the productivity attribute of Windows has been further enhanced. However, when installing Linux subsystem (such as Ubuntu) from the Microsoft Store, one might encounter the error 0x80071772. Let’s solve it. Reason for the error This error occurs because the software packages of the WSL subsystem can only be installed on the C drive. However, you have set up the system so that new applications are installed on other drives (such as the D drive or the E drive). As a result, the installation failed. ...

A while back, I got my hands on a Lenovo Legion R7000. After reinstalling the professional version of Windows 10 all my data seemed intact, and there weren’t any glaring issues. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the system was running slower than before. Things got more interesting when I tried to install GeForce Experience. The installer threw an error, and I started wondering if this was connected to the sluggish performance. My theory was that since the laptop switches between integrated and dedicated graphics, a driver issue on either end could mess with both processing and output, leading to lag and stuttering. ...

Laptops typically operate in two distinct power modes: battery mode and AC adapter mode. Operating systems differentiate between these modes to optimize performance—prioritizing battery conservation during portable use and unleashing full hardware potential when plugged into a power source. Normally, connecting the AC adapter triggers a switch to high-performance mode, while unplugging reverts the system to battery-saving mode. However, unstable AC power can cause rapid, unintended toggling between these modes. This often manifests as sudden system lag or freezing. ...
