I "solved" it by disabling sleep timeout for the monitor. But in reality, it was caused by Windows Update changing the video driver. I remember exactly when it installed that driver because the screen had flickered and it made the connect/disconnect sound. I found in Event Viewer that a new video driver was installed a few minutes prior to that happening.

Looks nice. Some thoughts. 1. Should have some way to differentiate which buttons launch external programs vs which just open a MsgBox. The reasoning is that some things like Device Manager or msinfo32 has some delay in opening. Even something simple like using a Group Control to draw a box around such buttons, or using color coding or highlight. Because (believe it or not) I had not initially thought this program would just open Device Manager when I clicked on that button. 2. AutoIT icon is set for the program. 3. On Windows 7 using the x86.exe, using System Info button, it sees only 2 of my 3 Volumes. Perhaps the same as in your demo screenshot, does it only show the first and last volume? Certainly on the test system you had drive letters in between C and G. And in case you wanted to add UUID functionality, you can refer to this sample: $uuItem = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct") If IsObj($uuItem) Then For $objSWbemObject IN $uuItem $strIdentifyingNumber = $objSWbemObject.IdentifyingNumber $strName = $objSWbemObject.Name $strVersion = $objSWbemObject.Version Next EndIf $strWMIQuery = ":Win32_ComputerSystemProduct.IdentifyingNumber='" & $strIdentifyingNumber & "',Name='" & $strName & "',Version='" & $strVersion & chr(39) $uiDitem = objGet($sWMIService & $strWMIQuery) If IsObj($uiDitem) Then For $objItem in $uiDitem.Properties_ If $objItem.name = "UUID" Then $itdid = $objItem.value EndIf Next Else MsgBox (0, "Error", "uiDitem is not an object. Content of uiDitem is: " & $uiDitem) EndIf

It says... Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.557).

My Windows 10 Enterprise system has been giving me my first problems so far. Basically is that now when the monitor goes to sleep, the computer makes the disconnecting hardware sound. In addition to that, when I wake the system again, it can take up to three minutes of sitting at the lock screen before it gives me the password prompt. This PC still isn't my daily driver at the office, I only use it for email, intranet and Teams. No surfing, dev work, burning DVDs or using apps or anything.

Fixed the terrible topic title. For the issue at hand, you can parse out the OS name in the filename, but then there are those situations where an update is applicable for an OS that is not in the name. In that case, I am not sure. I have not used Wintoolkit before, when you download from the lists, can you not specify where the files get saved to? Can't have one list go in a folder and another list into another folder?

This appears to be from some German speaking country.

Server edition should see all four cores as four processors. You can forget about workstation. What Service Pack is included on your NT 4 Server media?

No problem (for me) with the thread, and your account is able to edit that post with no issue.

Win2000Fan is now WinFX.

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug in XP or in Windows 10. The PoC uses schtasks.exe and schedsvc.dll from a Windows XP system on a Windows 10 system. Files from XP work on Windows 10, but when they do, they use priveledge escalation. https://web.archive.org/web/20190522011933/https://github.com/SandboxEscaper/polarbearrepo/tree/master/bearlpe

I think I am just short of 20 years of "IT" experience, mostly due to a couple periods of unemployment and that one year I worked in sales.

Elantec and Synaptics being separate things, always use the one that matches to the Hardware ID of the pointing device in Device Manager. This is important, at least because both companies write their drivers to match on class ids, besides Hardware IDs, meaning you can install the wrong driver without error, but the software won't work.

The ones in the first post and the referenced post work. If you mean something else, link to the specific post. If the content was hosted on another website, be aware of the age of the post.

The host is where the shares are located. The remote or client is the computer attempting to access the shares.

You got me worried, so I had to check on mine, and mine was still set for "let you choose to install them" Things I noticed get reverted: - Sponsored stories for Pocket enabled, although showing Pocket stories on Home page was still disabled. - Do not track was changed to "only known trackers" rather than all sites... I might leave this since "do not track" breaks embedding from many websites. - Location permissions disabled the "block all sites" option (aka doesn't block all sites, only ones in the list already)

My Windows 7 32bit PC at home has this issue, but my Windows 7 64bit PC doesn't. The 32bit PC has more updates in it than the 64bit, but I also know the CMOS battery in the 32bit PC is dead.

On the host, add the computer name and user account to the permissions tab for the remote computer as: COMPUTERNAME\USER

I ran into a situation while travelling, that may have been exascerbated by my OS update preferences. I was unable to use the hotel guest wireless networks. Although I was away for two weeks, each week I had different computers with me but they both generally had the same problem. They could connect to the guest network, but wouldn't allow me to go anywhere via a browser. Either the guest portal wouldn't open (because it uses XSS and I have XSS blocked) or I received certificate errors. So one casualty of trying to keep a computer under your control or secure, is that it can't be easily used in the real world.

I don't use a whole lot of extensions, only five. Of those, all but one were disabled, the one that was still usable was Nimbus screen capture extension. I had updated to the current Firefox v66.0.4 (32-bit), also remembered to undo the Data Collection and "Studies" options I had enabled earlier.

Nice error message.

Decided to turn off my main Windows 7 PC at home. Task Manager Up Time on the Performance tab has it at 703 days.

I am helping with a project that is currently in the brainstorming phase, and I am not quite sure what kinds of terms to be using for searching. I am looking for some examples of solutions that can accomplish this goal. The basics of it are, there are multiple computers that have the same folder and file structure. There is a master location and child locations. When a file is added to (or updated on) the master location, it needs to be copied to the child location. The other requirement is that files need to be enabled for transfer, so that the child locations do not get updates that are not approved. For the network relation, the systems (master and children) are all on separate subnets and on different domains. The individual file sizes can range from 1KB to 10 GB. All of the servers are using (at least) Server 2008 R2 Standard. If you know of any programs, products or services that can accomplish this task, feel free to post them here. Links to paid products can be posted by established forum members only.

@Monroe be aware that since the European Union passed their Copyright Directive last month, posts like this with full text from news websites will not be allowed to be posted into the forum. This will be a blanket rule (unless IPB has a version with upload filters) once the Directive gets adopted by the EU member state(s) that this site operates under. In other words, get out of this habit now.
