Hi, recently I wanted to uninstall this HTC driver from the C holder, but I can’t figure out which files are related to this HTC driver and remove this HTC driver completely, I also have installed some Installer programs, but they can’t help me completely remove it, as it always comes back. I guess the important leftover files of this HTC driver are still on system, so that this software can keep staying on my computer. Do you guys have any effective ways to get it uninstalled totally? I don’t need it any more.

What you should know about HTC Driver in C folder?

HTC driver is free software developed and promoted by HTC Corporation. HTC Driver program is usually installed into computer to help HTC users to perform tasks between your computer and HTC mobile device easily. HTC driver is very popular with users from United States, and most users install this HTC driver into Windows 7 computer. Once HTC driver is installed, its folder will usually locate in C driver of your Windows computer. For some reasons, users may want to uninstall unwanted programs and applications, as they don’t use the program in deed or they want to uninstall useless programs, files, cache files, extension or other software to free up hard disk and improve computer performance and speed up computer. Over time, computer’s disk will be filled with a bunch of files, application and documents and so on, especially in C driver folder. However, most users complained that it hard to uninstall this HTC driver even though they find its folder in C driver but it didn’t show in Control Panel. It seems a very stubborn program, as some uninstall tool specializing in uninstalling any programs even can’t uninstall HTC driver completely.

Why we can’t uninstall HTC Driver in a regular way?

There are various reasons why HTC driver can’t be uninstalled in a regular way. For example, improperly installing HTC driver program will be one of the reasons, as improper installation will mess up system files. Secondly, Windows system fails to locate the default uninstaller of the application, so you can’t see HTC driver show in Control Panel, or when you click on “Uninstall” button in Control panel, an uninstall error pops up to block you to uninstall it regularly. Some files and components of this HTC driver program or registry entries related to this program have been deleted or damaged and become invalid. Besides, dangerous and aggressive virus, spyware or rogue antispyware program invasion will badly affect other regular programs like HTC driver and windows system files.

Hi, there, I think there is something with my computer. Every time I run Overwatch on my machine, I have to wait a long time to get it loaded. It used to work fine before.

Any suggestion?

Hello, my computer’s CPU usage percentage always keeps high and I’ve noticed one process that is always active called “System Interrupts,” in this moment, it consumes on average 3.4% of CPU. I never know this kind of process. What exactly is this system interrupt? And is it necessary for Windows system? What can I do to reduce the percentage of usage of system resource?

What’s System Interrupts?

System Interrupts is also called “Interrupts” and “IRQs” which actually are operating system level processes. Interrupts are a form of communication between software and hardware with the CPU. For example, when you type on your keyboard, the hardware and software will respectively send interrupts to inform the CPU of the task at hand then respond to the task by doing necessary processing. On Wikipedia, it explains as below:

In system programming, an interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs immediate attention. An interrupt alerts the processor to a high-priority condition requiring the interruption of the current code the processor is executing. The processor responds by suspending its current activities, saving its state, and executing a function called an interrupt handler (or an interrupt service routine, ISR) to deal with the event. This interruption is temporary, and, after the interrupt handler finishes, the processor resumes normal activities.

Hello, I plan to purchase one latest version Apple iPhone so I want to watch Apple iPhone 7 launch event on my Windows7 several days ago to get more information on iOS 10 or new Macs and Apple Watch 2, but I can’t as I don’t know how can I open live streams on Windows PC. My one of my friends also recommends me to get Apple TV to watch the top and latest Movies and TV shows. So do you have any clues to help me?

Many people especially iFans around the world pay closer attention to live stream of latest iPhone launch event. However, live streams of Apple events are not available for Windows computer and android devices. Even though Apple Inc has claimed that their live streams can only be watched through Safari browser on Mac computer, MacBook Air and iOS device like iPhone and iPad, there are numerous ways to watch Apple’s live streams events on Windows PC(Windows 7/8/10), Android device (phone and tablet) and even device based on Linux.

If you want to watch Apple’s live stream events on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, you should notice that it requires Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later; Safari on iOS 7.0 or later. And if you watch live events through Apple TV, you should make sure it’s a second or third generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or newer like fourth generation of Apple TV. So if your device is in older version, you are suggested to upgrade the OS version and update the software. On Apple devices, you just open www.apple.com in Safari on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, and then you can watch the live events. On Apple TV, you need to download the free “Apple Events” app to stream it.
