Yes brilliant!

Hi guys I have a customer computer that whas Windows 10 Pro and F-Secure Safe installed.... I continually got warnings about Windows 10 defender "action needed (regelbunden sökning)"...But there is nothing to do...I have checked for the problem with ransomware that several threads talk about but nothing...or so I thought.... OK the solution was the message for ransomware but you have to turn on"regualar searches" for defender to disable it.... Most security software turn off the local firewall or settings that have anything to do with that.... So, I turned on searching for defender a few seconds and hey presto I had a long list of actions taken/not taken and then I could turn off the one todo with ransomware and One drive...sorry for the Swedish pics... The ransomware one was for "utpressningstrojanskydd" I hope this helps others that haven't found anything when opening Windows Defender... bookie32

Hi guys! This is probably a simple question just when you go to Office for companies it is a bit daunting.... If I have understood the agreement right then I can create one user and then that user can install the full office on 5 pc's? If I need to install it on more than 5 pc's then I create another user and have 5 pc's extra...=10 pc's for two users? Does this mean I can install it in 5 pc's and connect outlook to whatever email address in each one? bookie32

Hi RanCorX2... Wont change the fact that Windows 10 is crap...I do install classic shell on most computers with windows 8 or 10 if the customer doesn't prefer the standard menu...but I can't go uninstalling apps etc...there would be nothing left... bookie32

I am so sorry guys..... Have been so busy.... My customer has collected the computer and I haven't written down on customer info about the network card...but according to Asus it is a Intel® I219V, 1 x gigabit LAN-controller, GameFirst technology... I do apologise for not commenting here earlier.... I will let you know if he still gets problems... bookie32

For my customer it is wired and Intel card

Do you mean with the cottage? Haven't had time to put up any new pics...

I don't really spend time "wondering" about anything Microsoft does these days....it is just one continuous nightmare.... bookie32

HI guys! I have read tons of threads regarding the problem with Internet connection in 1803....I have yet to see one that works... I have tried updating the driver for the intel network card and it still keeps dropping out... I have tried resetting winsock and that works for a while and then the same problem.....!!! Bloody Windows 10 crap! Has anyone found the real problem behind this...apart from Microsoft? bookie32

Thanks jaclaz! That worked.....;) bookie32

Yes I agree but with that attribute I couldn't remove the assigned letter.... I tried that attribute and then removed the assigned letter but after reboot it was back... So, I don't know why it worked the way I did it... I will try again to make sure.... Thanks for your reply! bookie32

Thanks Tripredacus! I gave it the attribute 0x8000000000000000 and then removed the letter assigned via diskpart and it wasn't there after reboot...nice fix... bookie32

Back on the case of the partition problem.... I have seen that many have complained of my customer's problem since updating to 1803.... I am attaching a pic with the relevant info: To me it seems contradictory.... I have read threads where some have done the same as me and remove the letter but it is there again after reboot...another thing is it keeps giving warnings for full partition....

Probably a good idea....;) Your maths is right.... We are leaving the floor until I get the main joist and roof on.....no point at the moment.... The main cottage will have a small kitchen, bedroom and main living area...with a small loft above the kitchen and bedroom..... So...we keep on track with this thread I will send you a link when more pics are on onedrive....Just coming up to my 62nd birthday in July...didn't expect to be building a cottage....we bought a "kolonistuga" last year and it had so much wrong with it we had to take it down.....so my partners idea of us having somewhere to grow veg and relax will have to wait a couple of years.....There is a glimpse of a second smaller cottage still in place as a storage hut at the moment and then with some of the original cottage build a smaller 10m2 one that will be the toilet shower and storage area for garden tools... Not many new cottages are built....from scratch so all our neighbours are keen to see what happens....;) bookie32

Ja det stämmer....;) bookie32

Hi guys! I am busy building a summer cottage at the moment.... This was a new installation when the customer bought the computer and we haven't changed anything since then....apart from Windows 10 upgrading through the different verisions....can't remember exactly the version we installed at the time.... So when creating partitions on the ssd I let Microsoft create the necessary ones and not me creating them individually....so we haven't done a conversion from BIOS/MBR to UEFI/GPT afterwards....and the customer is just a novice....he wouln't and hasn't changed things.... I will try to get back to you later today....got to get on with my cottage...got a company coming tomorrow to lift up the main support joist in position...so need to get the last bits ready..... Thanks as always for your time! bookie32

Hi Tripredacus! Here is the diskpart info:

If I use diskpart to remove the assigned letter...it is added again on reboot.... bookie32

Hi guys! I have a customer with Asus Pro Gaming Z170 motherboard and when I installed Windows 10 I let Microsoft create the necessary partitions because there are two hard drives an SSD is being for the system drive and a separate sata drive is used for customer files etc... The problem is since the 1803 upgrade the start partition 450 MB's has been allocated a letter...letter E and it can't be removed in the standard way...if I mark the partition I just get a "help" window and not the removing of system letters.... What do I do to remove this bookie32

The most secure windows ever.... with Microsoft watching our every move...in what way is it secure....lol

What I do now is ignore this crap called an OS and stick to Windows 7...I spend enough time fixing customers computers with it installled.... This latest update starts with tons of questions and many of my customers are freaking out because they just don't understand what to do...and even if I try to expalain on the telephone...doesn't always work.... Shame on Microsoft with all this crap!!! bookie32

You make....in my opinion....som valid points and that is why I am so negative towards Windows 10 or should I say Microsoft as a company...not forgetting the fact that all the crap with windows 10 and how it was being pushed on us...only came to light because of the diligence of those who actually read the agreements that anyone upgrading to Windows 10 were saying (not knowingly) that Microsoft have the right to spy on so that the American government have an extra weapon against us..... Of course my ramblings could be taken as paranoia....but my response to that would have to be....isn't that a typical trait of the American government... Sorry....getting off track there....;) bookie32

Sadly the founder of IKEA has just passed away at the ripe old age of 91....He proved without any doubt at all staff are treated as equals actually works and he had one of the most successful companies in the world... I just hope that they keep to his way of running the company.... bookie32

I had a customer that came day before yesterday....she is a sweat little old lady...she said she remembered my warning about not upgrading Windows 7 to 10 if the manufacturer hasn't drivers for the computer... I thought...smart lady...but it turns out that she had been using Windows 10 on her Windows 7 only computer for quite some time... but at this moment I just thought the computer had finally updated from Windows 7 to 10 after several attempts over the months....or so I thought.... The problem, howerver, was she had the Windows creator edition install on the computer and everything stood still couldn't even get to desktop after several hours of waiting... I backed up her files and then reset it to the previous version.....it was here I discovered she had had Windows 10 for a while and that Windows 10 Creators Edition was waiting to install....also the fact she had told me porky pies.....lol I know some people wouldn't notice if the version changed....they would put it down to an update......;) I didn't say anything...just reinstalled Windows 7 and she is a happy bunny again.... God I just love hating Windows 10....gives me something to b***h about....;) bookie32
