Why not just make it not update if it is installed on XP or Vista? I'd imagine the "launcher" portion of Steam would continue to work, such as the redeem, drop-downs and the game library. If they are saying that they will make it so you can't play your games anymore, that would be a big problem. If things keep the same way, eventually they would just do that to me and my Windows 7 Steam computers and say I'd need to use Windows 11 or whatever. And there aren't "several" XP games on Steam, there are thousands, maybe even tens of thousands. And going forward, would the Steam client allow you to buy and install XP games from a Windows 10 system? Such as: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: https://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/ Which is 2000/XP. I'm sure that it would since I already know the Steam client will allow a purchase and attempt install of a 64bit game on a 32bit OS.

It may depend on the OS. ALT+Space does work on the CMD on the Windows 7 32bit that I tested on. Is what is displayed in the CMDs even important? Because if not, you can just put up a "please wait" message, and run those CMDs minimized so that they do not appear at all.

No longer? You did just register about a day since you made this post.

I hope it was not any links from the past 3 months.

With focus, your typical CMD or program can be minimized using a keyboard like so: ALT+SPACE, N And to restore it is: ALT+SPACE, R Presuming focus is retained. If focus is lost, then any such script would need to select the UI object first before sending those keys. So it would probably be best if that method is used in both instances. BUT... I'm not sure that I am grasping the design of the application. If the desire is that some of the code is to be hidden from view so that the users do not see it, then shown again later when things are safe to view or as a message indicating the task is complete, then perhaps a different approach should be used instead.

It is changed.

If those do not work, you can unplug your hard drives and try that way. Normally, if Windows has gone to hibernate, you won't be able to enter setup, as the computer is not really in an off state, thus POST does not occur.

For USB 3.0 there are usually 2 drivers you need to add. For intel, they have a driver for the controller and also for the hub. VIA may be similar (edit as cdob says in that thread). Also, if you are using a stock boot.wim, make sure you are injecting your drivers into Image Index 2. Also make sure to use a Windows 7 SP1 source.

WannaCry uses the EternalBlue exploit. https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue

0x7B is storage driver missing.

In a regular DVD, you can access the command prompt with Shift+F10.

It is designed to prompt for a product key unless one of these conditions are met: 1. The ProductKey/Key value is specified in the XML 2. The Edition or explicit path is specified in the XML with "/image/index" in ProductKey/Key value. 3. Specify edition in ei.cfg and have the associated default product key specified in pid.txt. Here is info about ei.cfg and pid.txt. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-edition-configuration-and-product-id-files--eicfg-and-pidtxt So take a look if your ei.cfg and pid.txt are causing the supression of the product key prompt.

That is a redirector, where did it usually end up? Now it goes to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ Are you saying that the browsers will show an error and keep the redirector URL in the address bar?

The only government contracts that I have worked on have dealt with either Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows IoT. So far, the only editions of Windows 10 that are decent enough to consider using, despite the amount of hoops required to jump through to get those versions.

The timing of this is weird to the point where it makes me wonder if it is really faulty or if they decided to take a different approach after Linus Torvalds complaints.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I think there are a fair amount of Linux users on this forum, they just don't seem to talk about it very much, outside of the side comment "I also use this."

Removed log and added as an attachment instead.

If you are not using a proxy server, uncheck the box to automatically detect a proxy server in Internet Options. Verify you have a valid IP address. If you have a valid IP address, verify that DNS works. You can do this by running these two commands: ping google.com ping 172.217.11.46

I believe this launch of the 10nm CPU also will coincide with a new chipset, which was reported to be the first from Intel for desktop boards to be UEFI only with no Legacy or CSM support. Whenever I get one of these types of boards or notebook in, I can definately try it. For usability reasons, there has been no real requirement that I have seen to need a "latest and greatest" system in terms of CPU or RAM, and Windows 7 can run just fine on even 3-5 year old hardware. My benchmark for requirements are games, so I do not know the requirements for other types of things such as engineering applications, etc.

I wish I had known about it ahead of time. I "found" this bug while on a production server. Also to note, running multiple DISM like this isn't supported. As even the ADK will not allow you to install it onto a computer that has a previous version installed. Say if you have ADK for 8.1 installed, you have to remove it before you can install ADK10. The only instance where this isn't the case is if you have the WAIK for Windows 7 installed, as the ADK installer does not check for that being installed. It doesn't check for Vista or 7 OPKs, or Embedded Kits either.

What is the name of the virus being reported to you? The name usually starts with W32.

Your signature image is too large. PS: your signature image was removed.

The DISM in the ADK is slightly different than the one that comes with the OS. I have never tried to use the ADK DISM in-place of the OS one, but I know the ADK DISM supports additional switches. DISM has dependencies, When I run multiple DISM versions, I put it into a folder. To save my time to determine what files are needed, I use the entire folder that contains DISM. For example: c:\program files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\DISM and then take that DISM folder and call it something to know what it is, such as DISM10, and then you can put that folder anywhere. BUT be very careful about using DISM this way because you can screw things up! Using a DISM version like this means you need to fully qualify your paths to it and you don't want to run a different DISM by accident. For example, if you mount an image using the Win10 DISM and then unmount with the OS DISM, you will then have yourself a corrupted mount point and a memory leak. The incorrect DISM used will continuously allocate memory until there is none left, which should crash your computer. So I recommend if you are going to use multiple DISMs on one system that you build .cmds to handle them so you don't mistype and run the wrong one.
