It is clear from your cmd output. You map to a share called Apps on the 10. ip address. Then you execute a command in J:\Apps. That is where your second Apps folder comes from. Change that line to this: start /wait J:\7-Zip\x86\7z1506.exe /S

You can remove packages with DISM but it won't save you any space. You need to export your image to clear out the files that aren't actually being used.

Did you try having WSIM validate against your install.wim? Maybe a setting has changed.

Disabling the time service (and having the wrong date/time for your selected time zone) should effectively disable Windows Update. If it works the same as previous versions of Windows that is, although it would generate errors because of it in Event Viewer.

Thanks for your feedback. It is one reason why I've been holding off on KB3081444. So, not only removing previous cumulative updates will be required, but probably exporting/cleaning up the image to keep the size down.

Topic split from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173752-how-to-avoid-being-upgraded-to-win-10-against-your-will/ I am not surprised that MS wouldn't want to upgrade everyone and everything... they are putting themself at a big risk as it is. They are saying they will upgrade your Windows PC for free and support it for the life of the product. Limiting upgrades based on devices is actually a good idea, since you could install Windows on hardware of any age, presuming it technically works. Consider the fact that (not counting those with no driver support for critical devices) Microsoft is taking over direct support of computers that are likely out of warranty or even obsolete. Be aware that the upgrade is going to remove your ability to dual boot and you'll have to redo it.

Link removed. Make sure to check your sources, that download is not legitimate.

So this occurs without AeroGlass installed?

What is the Hardware ID of the video card?

It is always preferred that people use official or original download links for programs.

From what I remember, Vista x86 was perfectly fine with 4GB RAM, or x64 with whatever. The main problem was that PCs and Notebooks at launch were being sold with 1-2GB RAM and were really slow. It wasn't until SP1 came out that Vista worked well enough with 2GB RAM.

Did you try removing the other updates you added first, unmount /commit, remount and then add KB3081444? FWIW I always unmount /commit then remount when removing/replacing an update or driver.

Wow no, not free to PC makers. While MS did make it so you could take you Windows 8 PC and upgrade to 8.1 from Windows Update, they made the actual Windows 8.1 OS a totally separate SKU. They did not release a method to update your Windows 8 images to 8.1. Different media kits, different product keys, different recovery media. It was not like Windows 7 to SP1, more like Windows XP to SP2.

Are you saying then that Intel, Radeon and Matrox are AOK... or do you mean that updated drivers or drivers for new nVidia cards are slow to become available?

Windows 10 is moving away from individual updates and going more toward cumulative ones. For example, the latest one as of this posting is KB3081444: https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3081444 Clicking on either will show which updates are included. I do not yet know if previous updates need to be removed before putting the new one in, it is likely. Only one DVD has been made with my Windows 10 install.wim, but I have not yet added KB3081444 to it. The newest one I used is KB3074683. That works fine without having to add any updates to boot.wim. Why are you adding updates to winre.wim and boot.wim? I have never seen anything saying you need to do that, other than for a relevant hotfix.

We also have this forum section specifically for those trying to use 2008 on non-server boards. http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/161-windows-server-2008-to-workstation/

I suspected as much. There are some viruses that will replace the Action Center so it can show a fake version of it. Sometimes the antivirus or anti-malware software does the task of removing the infection but does not revert all changed that were made. Do you have the log file or the name of the virus that was removed?

Ehhh is your "code" just an INI file for use in some program?

Have you recently gotten and/or removed a virus from this computer?

In my earlier times of playing with/owning computers, I had Windows 3.11 and Toshiba DOS 5. If I needed to reinstall I would install DOS 5 first and then Windows. I did this then with Windows 95. I had read a long time ago that if you wanted a true DOS you needed to install it first, then install Windows 95. I don't recall doing much on my own with Windows 95. I had it but usually only used it as an intermediary to get to Windows 98 as I only had the Windows 98 Upgrade edition CD. I'm sure I put a lot of time on Win95 but I can't really discern those memories from my Windows 98 ones. On computers I did not own myself, I remember some things. I remember setting up a Token Ring network with multiple Windows 95 PCs in college for a course I was taking. Before that I remember using family members' computers that had Windows 95, mostly for playing games or going online with Hyper Terminal, then Prodigy and AOL.

If I am to understand the quote correctly, it is that being a child of the System account is what allowed another account to take ownership of something. That may mean that if you were to set deny permissions for the System account on an object, Trusted Installer may not be able to take ownership. I may be wrong, as the last time I did something like that was in Windows XP. I took ownership of a file, then removed all permissions except Read for the System account. The item in question was not part of the OS, however, it was a file associated with a virus that I had difficulty in removing.

The top paid and top grossing app from the Microsoft Store, is surprising: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/top-grossing/apps/pc At the time of this post, it is a $6 program that lets you open and create .zip, .rar and .7z files!

I never personally use that. You can try using FirstLogonCommands and see how you like that. That will run your installations after login but before the Desktop loads. So you can see the things running.

I am going to guess that System does. - Windows Internals Part 1, 6th Edition.
