Some of the Steam games simply do not support Steam Cloud. The reasoning behind it, for modern games anyway, has to do with the large files they tend to create.

How to Increase Boot Camp Partition without Reformatting
Though Intel Macs are a dying breed, many of them still have some juice left with eGPU and dGPU support, so long as their CPUs are up to the tasks. It means Intel Macs still serve as good Windows PCs, possibly for x86 tasks in Windows environment. I won’t go in to details in this…
How to Disable Checkboxes on File Explorer in Windows 11
On Parallels, especially when it is the only option to run Windows ARM on Mac currently, the installed copy of Windows 11 has some peculiar settings turned on by default. One such settings I found was check boxes. On Parallels-run Windows 11, though previous versions may have had it too, any icons selected would have…
How to Match Months against Current Date on Shortcuts
If you are an avid Shortcuts user, there is a good chance you would want to automate certain things to run quarterly, or semiannually, or perhaps only on specific months of the year — a feature current version of Shortcuts does not have. But a shortcut can be automated to run every month. In other…
How to Play Mixed Audio Sources to AirPods on macOS
It might sound odd, but there are times you simply wish to stream audios only — not the whole video stream — to an AirPod connected to another Mac. It happens most often for me when I’m watching YouTubes or Podcasts on the side while I have my AirPods connected to the workstation. I prefer…
How to Use Apple Music Classical on PC

How to Disable Group View in File Explorer
Though I’m not a specialist in UI design, I can certainly add to the fact that having lists inside supposedly sorted list negates the purpose of arranging the items. Why arrange a list into yet another list? I would understand it if File Explorer was set to display icons, but I generally keep it in…
How to Add Sleep Hotkey on Logi Options+
To customize Logitech keyboards, users can opt to use Logitech’s included software,Logi Options+, or third-party alternatives to either enhance the Options+ or completely replace it.

How to Enable Legacy Desktop Icons on Windows 11
Beginning with Windows 8, if I recall correctly, Microsoft has been trying to make Windows a hybrid OS for both the touchscreen devices (e.g. tablets) and computers with traditional displays (e.g. laptops and desktops). It is only a personal opinion, and quite unfounded one at that, but I don’t believe Windows 8 excelled at either;…
How to Disable “Let’s Finish Setting Up Your Device” Notification on Windows
Windows has some handholding tools that would be useful for average users, but unavoidably redundant. One such tool is the post-installation wizard Windows keeps raising attention to with the prompt “Let’s Finish Setting Up Your Device”. Of many things the wizard offers, one of them is to login via Microsoft account. However, as I have…
