I think alot of it is due to initial shock. Not only is it a new OS, but it is also doing things we haven't seen an OS do before.

How to avoid being "upgraded to Win 10" against your will:
Tripredacus replied to dencorso's topic in Windows 8
You can set deny permissions to TrustedInstaller account on the folder. In the instances where people have taken over ownership of things from TrustedInstaller, has there ever been a case when it has regained ownership on its own? -
You don't. Wondering what OP is using to view the site with...

I don't get paid LOL. I just use Windows 10 to its fullest potential, why don't you? Related: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174165-bug-win10-and-wpi-873/#entry1103971 I won't use it either for the same reasons.

What error do you receive?

Also another presumption. It is known that you can use shutdown.exe to restart the computer and not install the updates, even if updates are pending like this. I'd imagine that it is actually Windows Update doing something, then calling the restart function. It might be possible to determine it somewhat by looking at the log files for Windows Update and maybe setupact.log. It is difficult to get good traces at the point of shutdown because Windows has a habit of ending the program you are using to monitor the system.

Booting DOS 7.1 on system with 4 gb ram (not enough for Smartdrive?)
Tripredacus replied to Nomen's topic in Windows 9x/ME
I came to this topic late and I have questions. Is there a known issue with getting DOS 7.1 to boot on a PC with more than 2GB RAM or is this about getting DOS to use that much memory? The reason I ask is because I've been booting DOS 7.1 on systems (from USB) with more than 2GB RAM for awhile now without a problem. -
Hmm the picture didn't show for me earlier. I think I understand the question (with no answer) however I don't get the part about how it "returns you open programs without erasing the jobs open them." I get the meaning of this part, but it is implying that your programs re-open after restart?

Windows computers on domain configured to use WSUS also are getting the automatic download: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b47ec651-0278-4667-9a72-6926173c2b4c/domain-joined-computers-downloading-w10-installation-files?forum=win10itprosetup -
Certainly it must! But also this folder has a friendly name, it can either be RemoteInstall or Reminst Run this from command prompt and see what shares you actually have: wmic share get caption,name,path

Driver signature enforcement
Tripredacus replied to BPRd's topic in Unattended Windows 8/Server 2012
My documentation does not mention a way to add this via ICE. The BCDEdit command would need to be run on the actual system itself, is that what was done? You may need to point to where the store is located, although it should know where it is anyway. -
It really looks like one from Antec, but with some extra molded designs.

Sounds like you have a better computer than me!

I don't find an actual explanation for what Visibility does... I have an idea regarding that for Updates... Can you check Updates with visibility 1 or 2 against how they appear in either View Installed Updates vs Update History?

Slower Wifi Speeds on Windows 7 Desktop vs XP Netbook
Tripredacus replied to Elliot77's topic in Windows 7
The Alfa 1W (meaning 1 watt apparently) is connected via USB. What is your motherboard? When comparing wireless devices, it would make more sense to see how well the Alfa 1W works on the netbook. Also, Amazon reviews indicate performance of this USB adapter greatly depends on which antenna is used. -
Some real life hard disk reliability statistics
Tripredacus replied to jaclaz's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
Its interesting that Hitachi (powered by WD) disks are more reliable than WDs on their own. -
Please explain why I would want to use Windows 10
Tripredacus replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows 10
The only way I could think is that you wanted to play a game that absolutely requires DirectX 12 in order to operate... or the Windows App version of Minecraft. For me anyways, I am perfectly fine sticking with Windows 7. I have no requirement to use a newer OS at this time. -
Do you have an Autodesk program installed? UTX.DLL seems to be involved.

How do you decrease something by 3,000 percent?
Tripredacus replied to JorgeA's topic in General Discussion
I keep thinking that the sentence is written backwards. It sounds more like it was calculated that there was a 3000% increase in efficiency or some other metric. The author cites a specific example in senior card, whatever that is. The data sources are not cited, so we can't say for sure how this figure came to be. -
Local address meaning you had a webserver running on your computer, or an intranet if it was at work. Try adding it as http://dollypartonentertainment.com/story or just dollypartonentertainment.com/story without the www. at the beginning. I will say, tho, that there might be a redirect being used by that site. If you still don't have it sorted by tomorrow, I'll try it myself.

There are still some problems in Audit Mode for Windows 10. They are: - Power settings for Shutdown are ignored (always sleep/hibernate) - Power settings for Power button are ignored (always sleep/hibernate) - Power settings do not always work - Sometimes there are 2 overlapped lock screens - Start Menu, Bluetooth, Personalize and Display Resolution menus do not work. (this occurs after generalizing an image and then booting to Audit Mode) To start, the main complaint at RTM was that the restart/power button options were missing from the lock screen. Since Vista, this process was the same. When you log into Audit Mode, the Administrator account becomes disabled. This means that if you were to put the computer to sleep/hibernate, the lock screen would not let you log in because your account was disabled. In Windows 7, the power setting for "Sleep after" while plugged in was Never. In Windows 8 and 8.1, the power setting for "sleep after" while plugged in was 15 minutes. In Windows 10, it doesn't seem to matter because it won't go to sleep after a timeout, no matter what amount of time you have it set for. For Windows 7-8.1, if the computer had been put into sleep, when you resume you couldn't log in. You would have to choose the Restart option. When the computer restarted, it would automatically log back in with the Administrator account and you would be at the Desktop with the Sysprep program on the screen. There is some confusion with Windows 10 because the UI actually uses 2 different lock screens, both in Audit or normal modes. When in Audit Mode, the first lock screen is the one that has your picture, username (Administrator) and the message saying your account is disabled. The only button to press is Okay (which is the same for previous OSes) which then attempts to log in with the disabled account. The second lock screen is behind this one. The second screen has all the same stuff as the first but also has the restart/power button. Through testing, I have seen these three scenarios: 1. Only the 2nd lock screen is shown, which means you can restart. 2. The 2nd lock screen is shown for less than 1 second, then the first one appears. You cannot proceed. 3. The 1st lock screen is only shown and you cannot proceed. Now I fully understand that the difference between scenarios 2 and 3 could well be timing, and that they are the same. In order to proceed in a situation where 2 or 3 occur, you need to reset the system. The power button is useless as Windows will hibernate or sleep. You need to do a reset if you have a desktop. If you have a notebook you need to remove power and the battery. If you have a tablet or other system without a removable battery... What happened to me originally was I ran into this problem in IP times and reported it. Then RTM came out and it was still there. Then the first update rollup seemed to have fixed the issue, but what actually happened was that I was testing on a different system. That's right, the OS is actually working differently on 3 different systems. System 1: Windows 10 Home x64 with KB3074683 (Compal TWS Notebook, HDD, MBR disk) - Power Options CPL shows Monitor and System sleep settings for battery and plugged in. - shutdown: Hibernate, wake to lock screen, account disabled, no restart option - close lid: sleep, resumed to desktop (this is a new behaviour, haven't seen this in previous OS) - powercfg -h off - close lid: sleep, resumed to desktop. - shutdown: shut down, boot and admin autologon to desktop (expected behaviour) System 2: Windows 10 Home x64 with KB3074683 (Clevo P750ZM Notebook, SSD, MBR disk) - Power Options CPL only shows Monitor sleep settings for battery and plugged in. - Shutdown: Sleep, resumed to desktop - Close lid: Sleep, resumed to desktop - powercfg -h off - Shutdown: shut down, boot and admin autologon to desktop - close lid: did not sleep, only turned off screen. System 3: Windows 10 Home x64 with KB3074683 (Asus H97M-E, RAID 1 HDD, MBR disk) - Power options CPL shows monitor and system sleep for plugged in. - shutdown: Hibernate, wake to lock screen, account disabled, no restart option powercfg -h off - shutdown: shut down, boot and admin autologon to desktop So the reason why I thought the issue was fixed with the update was because I had (by then) moved onto another system (system 2) where the problem wasn't happening. In all testing, using powercfg.exe to disable hibernate "fixes" the issue. As noted, changing the power options manually in Control Panel do not seem to have any effect, hence they must be ignored. Since powercfg.exe options are not reset when Sysprep is used, it is not ideal to need to change this. Imagine you were to forget to turn it back on again before you put a system onsite or sold to a customer. In these testing, the 1st scenario does not seem to work anylonger. It had worked after the first release of KB3074683 but not the 3rd (which is in the image now.)

Also verify that Windows is activated. As well as that your date and time are correct and your time zone set properly.
