Paged pool is the total amount of kernel memory that may be swapped out when needed, so Process Hacker does show the actual amount of data that's in the page file. You get the same numbers (rounded) if you type the following into PowerShell: Get-CimInstance Win32_PageFileUsage | Select-Object Name,CurrentUsage,PeakUsage,AllocatedBaseSize Pushing the Limits of Windows: Paged and Nonpaged Pool mentions the biggest consumer of the paged pool is registry. I did actually notice that with longer uptimes searching through registry using Windows' Registry Editor becomes impossible as it takes forever to find anything.

DBC Task Manager - has some loose edges over the real thing, eg. you can't disable startup entries, it doesn't display information about virtualization availability and that you're running the OS on the virtual machine in case you do. Actual Multiple Monitors has all those features (paid software with 30 days trial period, 24.95 USD). For scrolling inactive windows alone, KatMouse and WizMouse first come to mind (both free).

Perhaps this blog post explains it better.

...without having to drop to binary editing mode to do it. Windows' own Registry Editor removes empty strings. Same story with RegCool and Registry Workshop. Is there a tool out there that would preserve whatever I type in the editing field when working with REG_MULTI_SZ values?

It gets rid of some extra spacing they added in the file view back then I think. I didn't have the problem with that since I set QTTabBar to use old view control. Or you can use Folder Options X. MS couldn't leave it alone neither, they broke its biggest feature at some point - the ability to arrange files and folders in any order you like, it's not remembered anymore.

Aero is a design language. What Windows 10 still runs is a compositing window manager, which they called Desktop Window Manager. DWM of 7/Vista implements glass effect, but it's not as configurable as Big Muscle's implementation. The file containing graphical resources and some other parameters is still called aero.msstyles, even though look and feel of Aero is gone.

Two fields appear when you click Link, URL and Link text. URL is where it actually goes when you click it (the semicolon slipped there in your case), the link text is how you see it written on the screen. This field contained the correct URL, so it appeared normally on the screen, hiding the typo. If it was left empty, content of URL field would be used instead, so you'd see the semicolon right away.

So a reboot back then also helped with another minor issue that occurred; the network status icon didn't always update to reflect the actual internet connectivity status. Another thing worth mentioning, there is significant difference between Task Manager's Paged pool and Process Hacker's Usage column as shown if you open Tools->Pagefiles. The value in Process Hacker is much lower (right now it's 250 MB vs 58,8 MB). Maybe Task Manager takes some variable into account that Process Hacker doesn't. Any ideas? I wasn't observing the Paged pool in the past, but pagefile usage as shown in Process Hacker stays much lower with regular usage than it did with Windows 7 and 8.1. The difference is some hundred megabytes. And it shows when running things that need more memory. Windows 10 doesn't seem to have the urge to immediately page out whatever data hasn't been accessed in a while.

Seems unlikely, there are reports of the same problem dating back to 2006.

It's possible to install Windows on the same partition where the current install and data is if the data is moved out of the way to avoid potential issues (out of the way - out of Windows' directory hierarchy), eg. place it in C:\Stuff and delete everything else from the partition from recovery environment - boot install DVD->Repair computer->use Command prompt and following commands: dir /A D:\ - list folder files and on partition lettered D (you have to find the right one since C:\ probably won't point to the right one) rd /S /Q D:\folderName - delete folder and its content del /A /F D:\fileName - delete individual file Or using robocopy (you need an empty folder first): md X:\empty robocopy X:\empty D:\ /MIR /XD D:\Stuff /R:0 /NFL /NDL /NJS /NJH /NP /LOG:X:\robocopy.log This gets rid of everything with minimal log output except D:\Stuff and probably System Volume Information folder, which I've no idea how to get rid of entirely using Windows. Last time I've done this, I cheated and deleted it from Linux because takeown and icacls couldn't help. If separate boot partition exists, format it to clean up. At least that's how I purge Windows while preserving data without having to migrate it off partition.

Does it have to be per-user? You can set Windows Firewall to block outbound connections by default. It works globally. Just in case exceptions are needed on the per-user basis, it might not be the way to go, but should be fine otherwise. The rules for allowed programs might need some tuning. A lot of Microsoft stuff is already defined. I bet updates are also on the list, but I'd have to try and see. Obviously, admin will have to do this. Home edition offers access to the advanced firewall configuration the same way Pro does. I can confirm you can prevent the Store from accessing the internet by disabling its rule in the firewall while it's set to block outbound connections.

Nothing actually. CosmoDreamy just made a remark about Microsoft, that they should take a look at the Windows version that was current in the year 2004, so Windows XP, and take it as an example when working on Windows 10, in terms of quality and such. 2004 is indeed the latest stable Windows 10's version number, but looking at the number itself, you can quickly make a connection to the year 2004.

If I remember correctly, Win10 1809 was re-released as V2. "v2" was in the name of the ISO, otherwise, it was just a regular release with the then current updates slipstreamed.

It means go back to the year 2004 and look how the then current Windows version was done.

Yup, it's gone.

Is it true that it's no longer possible to restore the classic address/search bar in Win10 2004 with mach2 tool?

I noticed OpenGL works without glitches in fullscreen in certain browsers. I never tried K-Meleon until recently and...it's not multi-monitor aware. Its window always opens on the primary screen regardless of where I left its window when I closed it the last time and it always snaps to the primary screen whenever going fullscreen. But yeah, no glitches in OpenGL neither in normal or fullscreen mode.

It work in Firefox 45-47, KM, PM27. And Firefox 56-58 in one process. Hardware acceleration must be enabled on Radeon9500 - x850 Does it work properly for you? It always shifts parts of GUI up. Waterfox user asked about the issue here and another user of roytam1's forks also mentioned it on this forum. You may find the post by searching for layers.prefer-opengl. GPU vendor doesn't seem to matter. WebGL stuff doesn't perform smoothly if layer acceleration is either disabled or if it's using D3D9 instead of D3D11. It doesn't matter whether ANGLE is enabled or not. D3D has another issue on XP; if you move the window in which it's used to secondary monitor, the performance will be drastically reduced. Worst case scenario, even mouse cursor starts lagging, depending on graphics workload. Shouldn't be an issue with OpenGL on NVIDIA cards, at least if Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration setting in NVIDIA Control Panel is left at default Multiple display performance mode. I don't know how ATI fares in this case.

It seems they didn't download automatically despite having valid donation.key. Maybe enabling verbose logging (registry setting mentioned in the guide) would display the error in debug.log. Did any console window show up the first time Aero Glass was started after donation.key was put in place? It should popup whenever symbol downloading is triggered and report an error in case it didn't work for some reason. Since you already have the symbols, you'd have to delete or rename symbols folder in Aero Glass folder and log off and back on to be able to test automatic symbol downloading.

The touchpad (Synaptics) software on my laptop with default settings initiates Task View if it detects swipe-up gesture using three fingers. It doesn't matter whether the Task View button is hidden or not.

I asked about broken layers.prefer-opengl setting on Pale Moon forum. Responses were...well, you'll see.

You do not need programming experience to see that the entire first page of this sub-forum is about the very same issue you're having.

Default settings just spoof the user agent, which you can replicate by setting general.useragent.override.youtube.com in about:config to: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

It stopped working with KB4541335 (OS Builds 18362.752 and 18363.752, works fine with the older ones). The workaround mentioned is based on downgrading certain system files to get Aero Glass working.
