  1. And hopefully some future update doesn't change it back!
  2. Yes the DPI setting is only for Windows itself, not setup/WinPE. If you know the size of a US quarter, then you can see how a UEFI only tablet looks like with the Gimagex HTA that I have in my signature: While the text specified by the HTA scaled "appropriately" I can tell you that must custom imaging GUI (which is not shown) is super tiny. As long as this remains to be true, I will eventually have to learn how to program my GUI to scale as well. So I feel your pain.
  3. So? Give users the option to disable it if it doesn't look good to them. It reminds me of a fairly recent change on Yahoo's website. The sports section had a dark background and their user feedback indicated it was hard to read. So they changed it to a white background. No notice, no option to change if you want to use dark vs light background. Yahoo's position was that the majority of feedback indicated users preferred the white background so it became that for everyone!
  4. It is by design since WinPE4. You'll need to rewrite your GUI to handle the different scaling that may occur. This was the answer I got when I opened a support case with MS in 2013. Here was my first topic about it (see also the Technet link for more info) http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162510-unable-to-set-resolution-in-winpe4/ Here is the challenge you may face while working with UEFI mode on a 4k display: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173469-uefi-installation-on-a-4k-native-display/
  5. That is a difficult read! I am going to guess that one of the reasons was that they filed Patent1 which was accepted and then Patent2 which was accepted. Upon further review, Patent2 is now being rejected because it is too similar to Patent1?
  6. I just realised, reading about the BYOD link... that MS has made it impossible for any company that deals with the healthcare industry to have a computer in their office running Windows 10.
  7. jofkata81, your post was too big. I moved it off to a pastebin for now. In the future when you need to post huge logs like this, use a paste site like I did for your example, or attach text file to your post with the forum's attachment system.
  8. Already found a situation where a Windows 7 Home Premium PC had started downloading Windows 10 automatically. User has stopped the download, but now the OS can't install other updates as they are in queue. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aff8119f-f5e7-41b2-8723-951d010917a9/windows-update-is-forcing-a-win-10-update-on-my-win-7?forum=win10itprosetup
  9. You'll need a Windows 10 DVD of course! But where did you get the install.esd from, the free upgrade? You can save a lot of work by downloading the entire thing using the MediaCreationTool. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install
  10. I was expecting a more verbose error that that. The determination must be made whether this is a DNS issue, or you are being rejected by a mail server on your network. Are the DNS servers the same for each login type (AD vs Local)?
  11. Is the question, how can you fool Windows Update into thinking that an update is already installed?
  12. That is typically how the Windows firewall works already. The problem with that approach is... how does the firewall know that the program was actually installed by you and not a malware?
  13. If this is the case, then I would expect it to be the same as how Edge browser works, as it doesn't use Hosts. I suspect it goes directly to DNS, which gives a different type of opportunity when it comes to blocking those connections.
  14. So to summarize, you are seeing similar speeds of the USB adapter on both systems?
  15. I know this is a standard practice, but is this actually necessary in a situation where you are shutting down the computer? dim objShellset objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")objshell.ShutdownWindowsset objShell = nothing^ above, setting objShell to nothing... not actually necessary because either the shutdown sequence will kill the application/script or the fact that the script immediately ends?Just a conversation topic. Code sample from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174021-startisback-10/page-9?p=1105751#entry1105751
  16. I use Palemoon at home and don't have the issue, but my version is much older. If you are blocking any URLs, make sure you allow ajax.googleapis.com, as the forum software uses something from there.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. You don't. Wondering what OP is using to view the site with...
  20. A user named Dijji wrote a program to fix the broken tasks after a downgrade. https://repairtasks.codeplex.com/
  21. 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.
  22. What error do you receive?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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?
