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.

Blah, who in their right mind would download drivers from Windows Update?

Well it certainly did happen in fiction... such is described in the movie/novel Contact by Carl Sagan.

Disabling scripts inside of frames should still show you the text in the quirksmode test. This is how I have my (current) firefox configured. So for me, I can see the text inside the iFrame, however the text field says "no." This means that the authors of the test are expecting that if the script inside of the frame never runs, then that means the iFrame is not displayed which isn't the case.

I've seen that registry thing also, definately from the days of Windows 98. It is still used by current day viruses too, ran into one maybe a year ago that did this.

It sounds like you are having a problem with a third-party application, as this seems similiar: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-Questions/Your-CD-DVD-features-are-not-set-properly-message-from/td-p/3955230 Can you tell us what program tells you this? Or post a screenshot of this message box?

There seems to be a problem with the link, if that is what submix8c means. I can't get to it, it just says XML Parsing Error. Can you post the model of Gigabyte board that you have?

There are various problems here. Youtube decided to make a specific image size, to be designed in 3 sections using a total number of pixels that would seem to be the correct amount because it can be divided by 3. It would make sense at first, but it doesn't because you run into this problem. I've run into this before while doing my own designs. The end result is I would design something and it wouldn't be exactly centered, as I was using a "block model" in my design. This can be due to failure to count borders. So while Fireworks allows me to physically type in half pixels, it also doesn't actually allow it. It is possible to "fake" it, but it would require you to have a feathered border (of some degree) on the block edge to make it appear it was centered. If you look at the sample image on the official Youtube guide, you see this in action as well. The other problem is that whoever made the guide you want to use has made an error. They are presuming that the middle section (for non-TV devices) is supposed to be centered. Simple math tells you that the total height (1440) minus non-TV viewable height (423) gives you 1017... divide that in half and you get the 508.5. This would then seem to mean that the "always viewable" segment of the banner should have a Y of 508.5. Here is where their error is revealed. If you download the actual template from Youtube (I tested the Fireworks PNG) and take a look where that center block starts, it is Y509. So, that guide you are using is wrong. We can argue that Youtube is wrong because they should have done some better testing, however we should know that most people aren't picky about doing things properly. So you make do with what Youtube gives you... Although considering this type of image, I wouldn't use a block design that pushes directly to that border.

The problem is... a single webpage is only allowed to have 1 of each of the root objects, such as: <html> <DOCTYPE> <header> <body> ETC. So if a rendered page contains more than one of these, it shouldn't render it properly. Now where does these extra things come from? It is in the iframe target's code! It shouldn't be there and its Youtube's fault for offering people easy copypasta links for embedding videos designed as stand alone pages. Here is likely your culprit: All browsers being unequal, enforce web standards differently (for whatever reason) and you get different results. IMO, using code like this should NOT be ignored by any browser, resulting in breaking the rest of the page... which was what used to happen in the Web 1.0 days.

I suspect that it was always possible to fry an egg on the hood of a black car, as long as black cars existed. It seems someone traced the first reported instance of this, at least dealing with sidewalks. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-07-06/news/ct-talk-fry-egg-on-sidewalk-0706-20120706_1_egg-sidewalk-heat-wave-strikes Certainly if we were to tie frying eggs on things that aren't designed for frying eggs as a symptom of global warming, then this trend surely started prior to 1899. Which should safely narrow it down to trains, smelting plants and cow farts.
