That first thread seems to indicate this update appears on Enterprise OS. Is that what you have Noel?

Such programs exist. I have seen their use... for example: call center. I do not remember the names of any of them. I've worked with (as in monitored by) three different ones, but this was all a long time ago. They may not even exist now. I found this article which might help: http://www.pcworld.com/article/222169/how_to_monitor_your_employees_without_going_too_far.html

Event Viewer should log more information regarding the error... you can view it in Safe Mode. Also, you can upload the minidumps and someone can look at them for a start.

I read as, at this time, PayPal is the only currently accepted form of donation. Being as how this topic is directly related to the special (technical) sub-forum that it exists in, this topic will remain here. However, since the topic is now of things unrelated to either the special sub-forum or being technical, this topic will be closed. Interested parties may create something in General Discussion, providing it remains free of politics, threats to remove watermarks, or flame wars.

You know, I have been going about this all wrong. When I open up my food and find something wrong, I just throw it away. What I should be doing is calling the news station!

These writers seem to be getting confused about this "platform" thing with Windows 10. It is a marketing brand that can be "installed" on different hardware. For the moment, the only bit of software that works across all the platforms is the Modern apps that are in the Start Screen. The OS versions themselves are still heavily hardware dependent... you cannot just buy the Windows 10 from the big box store and install it on anything you want. There will still be 32bit, 64bit and ARM versions.

It may be different by country, but what I am saying is you can attach a bank account to paypal, with no use of any sort of card.

Are you receiving any errors? I read sometimes that a system with Secure Boot enabled can interfere with running recovery DVD or fresh installs. Also it may be good to know if you have UEFI enabled or not, as this can make different drives "disappear" from being "detected" as bootable devices in certain circumstances.

You can use either a bank account or debit card with paypal, not just a credit card. Or it can be as simple as, going to your bank (or even another bank), open a new account, put 20 of your money in there, sign up to paypal, attach new account to paypal, send money. I use paypal but also do not fully trust it, so I have a second account I attach to it.

--JorgeA This doesn't sound right. Such a term is used in speaking, but for a written work, I believe the actual slash ( / ) should be used.

This is likely caused by the fact there is no system tray to display notifications. Look in the update log file and see if this is the case. Windows Update is designed to run as a child process/application of Explorer.exe. Other than using a custom Update installer or WSUS. You can also change the Updates option to "download and install later" which will do it automatically, but will only do the actual installation on a (normal) shutdown. If you choose this one, your application will need to have a way to invoke a normal shutdown, so that installation of updates is triggered. I know a lot of ISVs are still building appliances that are designed to be turned off manually.

That's a lot of stuff! I agree that finding the correct product for the elderly (those who cannot see so well) is difficult with today's product offerings. Long gone seems to be the days of XP where you could have gigantic icons and text. I notice your list of user types is missing software developers who use multiple monitors!

Welcome to the MSFN!

Ah but it would still be considered in Beta version. I'd stick with the Windows 8.1 ADK for now, and then put the Windows 10 one on another system for testing.

A few things. Firstly, an OEM cannot put in all the updates that show up. Some will not integrate as many are .exe files. Some will not integrate due to a technical limiation. However, you do not have the right to re-image an OEM OS. If you are not using a Volume License, your company should work with the OEM to create a (CFI) Corporate Factory Image instead.

Some things. That version number called out in the log is of that internal version that was not released... Also this looks to be a WSIM log file and not one for DISM. I find the new ADK/SDK installers to be troublesome, as it is sometimes difficult to run multiple versions. What is the host OS?

Aww too bad the final OS won't have "AWESOME" in the name.

Try installing the software from an elevated command prompt.

That trace was made at the time of the computer running very slow. It actually took about 10 seconds to get the cmd window to restore (it was minimized) to run the trace. What other things can I try or look at?

We can't do much in the way of helping someone with academic work, see the forum rules about this. Regarding connecting the GUI to the prolog, their site says this: Which probably doesn't help... but they have their own forum you might be able to find what you are looking for. http://www.swi-prolog.org/forum

I've been having a problem over the past year or so where everything becomes slow. Programs stop responding, mostly browsers. I have eliminated certain behaviours over time in an attempt to troubleshoot, such as: - stream content in different browsers - don't stream at all - don't charge cell phone on PC - disabling Windows sounds - disable search indexing The reason for disabling sounds, is when the PC gets slow, CPU light on PC would be solid. And sound events would be delayed. Sometimes I would get a sound up to 10 minutes later than when it would fire, say from new Email or IM notification. There have also been times where if the PC is in this slow stage, it will take a very long time to detect inserted USB keys. Another thing that happens is that both Firefox and IE Flash plugins will crash. I have attached a LatencyMon report of 1 minute while the PC is in this state. It appears to me to be related to MSSE, however it is not scheduled to scan until afterhours. LatencyMon.txt

I agree. A simple placeholder should at least be used... something with a generic message like "see the manufacturer for driver information" rather than returning an error page. @shae installing IME drivers really just make the flag go away. It is some sort of Enterprise management thing. On my personal systems, I just leave the device flagged since I don't use that platform.

That views, isn't it most recently used programs? Have you disabled this option?

I have no problems with AutoIT in 8.1 and installing programs, but I do absolutely not GUI automation because I find it unreliable. If you are using an old version of AutoIT, @OSVersion may return "UNKNOWN" as a result. If you are using this macro, either update your code to recognize "UNKNOWN" as Windows 8+ and 2012/R2 or update your AutoIT to one that supports those OSes. Another thing I remember... AutoIT automation has problems if the Start Screen is up... it is best to make sure the desktop is showing prior to trying to do anything.

At a quick glance, I can't find anyone who try to put the Live account into the XML... You can also hide both the online and local account creation pages: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825198.aspx I'm not sure if it will work, but it might be worth a test.
