This is one of the perks of the online game services, such as Steam with GTA V or Origin for BF4. A new Steam install can easily link to a Steam dir on another drive. I have done it already, and in case of Steam you can have it use multiple dirs on multiple drives. Not sure how exactly Origin works, I don't like it and will get rid of it as soon as I am done with BF4 myself. Otherwise, it is difficult to know. It would depend on the program itself, and this problem has been this way for many years. Some programs work just fine, even after the main OS is removed or replaced. Some just need registry entries restored, some will refuse to run on a new OS. You would have to handle it on a case-to-case basis. Another thing to watch out for, after you reinstall your OS, is that your storage drive have the same drive letter as it did on the previous OS.

Sure and it is probably LTSB, the only good Windows 10 edition!

People don't seem to mind because no one has broken into the place yet where MS is keeping all those keystrokes and wireless passwords.

Abadonware is determined by copyright, not active development. This is why MS software never ends up in the category of free distribution, no matter how old it is. Of course, they themselves can decide to release something if they want. Most often they do not, even for old software, which is disappointing.

I can't say for sure about legacy or "out of band" (aka things I don't deal with) but I never install wifi software on any systems I put a wireless card into. If the correct driver is used, then whatever the built-in stuff Windows has will work by itself. The only exception to that is Bluetooth combo cards, where the bluetooth does not work at all on the driver alone, or the manufacturer only provides and MSI or EXE for the driver.

Let us just hope it is only going to effect Windows Update and not the updates themselves. My last Win7 PC I built, I disabled Windows Update straight away. However, some times I did have to install an MSU due to other software requirements. For example, you can install H1Z1 on Windows 7 SP1 RTM x64, but it needs one update to work. They could really put the screws to people by blocking you from installing individual updates on these CPUs.

Look on this page, under "Installer Detection Technology" (there is no contents/targets for this page so use the search) https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628(v=ws.10).aspx For any applications you write that should not be prompting for elevation, then you should create a Manifest for your program with such instructions.

Windows 8.1 Industry Pro has the same shortcomings that WES7 does, whereas if you do a full set using IBW, it will still leave some piece out. For 8.1, the part you need to do manually is related to USB. I believe that USB 2.0 is put in, but 3.0 will not work properly. I ran into this issue myself and it was not caught right away. I do not know about these other questions because I've only built this to OS to be an appliance. But you can test yourself by registering to get the eval version: https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/downloads.aspx?

I've always seen the option in Process Explorer. You can try it and see if it is what you are wanting. I've not used it myself.

A lot of updates are like this, they do not do a real good job of explaining the things they correct. They seem to rely on people needing to know what they are doing, or in the usual case, install it if you don't know. When I first read this update, it sticks out to me (from my own experience) with SMB that you are then dealing with an in-network vulnerability. So, say some other system on your LAN sends a request to the unpatched system, then it could exploit whatever. BUT I do not know if you could fool Windows into responding to an SMB request through localhost, so then no other computers on the local network be needed. Update catalog only shows this for Vista, 2008 and POSReady2009. That Embedded variation, not being that different from XP (it installs like Vista) then the "cry rivers" response is because there is no way to update XP x64... Or Server 2003 which would be more of a concern. SMB is available in SP1 at least.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I thought Active-X was tied into Internet Explorer?

Hmmm well it does seem kinda weird that they would disable updates for everything just because one thing wasn't supported.

Do not post links to files not allowed for redistribution!

If anyone finds a CPU that makes Windows 10 not able to get updates, be sure to let me know.

You can modify code contents, but not quote. When you edit your post, you see your "codebox" with the widget, you can click on that or the surrounding rectangle. For me it turns blue, but for anyone (in case the forum color gizmo at the top has anything to do with it) it should change to a different color indicating that it is highlighted. Then on the editor format bar, there is the button that looks like this: <> You can click that and the pop-out window showing the contents of the code box will be there so you can edit. But like I said, it does not work with the quote, but I think it is because the editor lets you change a quote already.

This is a topic that cannot be discussed on this forum. It has nothing to do with any member's own history or habits.

Invision must hate code boxes. They break in every version.

It seems to be a difficult thing to search for. Do you have any information on what is different between the two servers?

None of the MSU/KB files have the hash value in the file name? I wonder if you could find other versions of the MSU file to compare the contents against. Also you should also have VT test those other ones as well, even known "good" one from the update catalog. It may just be a quirk of detection, like how some AV programs will detect anything packed with UPX as being a virus.

This is something I read up on, experimented with and was able to get working, so I decided to post a topic about it. DECA stands for DirecTV Ethernet Coaxial Adapter. These are devices used in some DirecTV satellite TV installations to allow some DVRs to communicate using the satellite dish via ethernet, while not being connected to the internet themselves. There may be other methods, but this was how it was once installed in my house. When I cancelled the service, I only had to return one set top box, and all the extra equipment remained. So off into a bin until I was bored and decided to look into it. What can make this worthwhile to others is that (currently) these items are cheap to purchase, and you do not actually need a satellite dish or installation. The concept is very similar to MoCA, but it is much cheaper and may be slower. What you can do with these devices is bridge two (or more) LANs using coax cable. This was useful to me because I wanted to have a physical internet connection in my upstairs without using wireless, and without drilling holes and running ethernet cable. Here I will outline the hardware required. Model numbers may vary slightly. - DECA Broadband adapter (ie DECABB1MR0) - DECA Receiver (ie DCASR0-01) - Power for DECA Receiver (ie DirecTV Satellite Power Inserter) The DECA Broadband adapter has 1 coax connector and 1 Ethernet connector. Connect this device to a router. (It is potential that this setup can work in either direction, I have yet to test, but most information says that the Broadband adapter is connected to the internet source.) The Coax connector, you connect to your Coax cable. For the DECA Receiver, it has 2 coax connections (one should have a cable connected and shrink tubing to bond it to the device) and an ethernet port. This device is for connecting to the other end of the coax cable. One one end there is an ethernet port and the covered cable, and on the other end is a coax connector. The bare coax connector goes to the other end of your coax cable. The covered cable connects to the Power Inserter. The ethernet port is for the network or computer you are bridging to. The Power Inserter has two ports, Power to IRD and Power to SWM. It connects into a power outlet. The covered cable on the DECA Receiver connects to the Power to SWM port. Final Thoughts The DECA network is designed to work on an active satellite TV installation and are NOT designed to work on an existing cable TV installation. If you are just using your own coax cabling with no service being run on them, there won't be a problem. The DECA network is also designed to use RG6 coaxial cable, and not the lower grade that can be found in some older cable TV installations, but there are some instances where other coax cable grades will work fine. If you are going to set something like this up in a house that has used or unused cable runs already in the walls, you may have to do "guess and test" to find which two ends to connect to. It is not immediately obvious, but not all coax outlets in a house may be connected to each other. When I did my first attempt and got no network sync, I did an inspection in the basement and found 3 different coax "networks" were run. This is because when a service tech for a TV service does work for you, they use what is already present if possible, and if they replace something, they will leave the original parts there. It can especially be a pain for anyone who has an older home or apartment where various different TV services have been used over the years. There are other ways to power the DECA receiver than the Power Inserter. There are even USB powered versions available. The Broadband adapter, once powered, will light a link light on the router. When you have the two ends of the DECA network able to talk to each other, you should get 3 green lights on the Broadband Adapter. They are Power, NTWK and c.Link. If there is no connection, one will be green, NTWK will be off and one will be blinking orange. The power adapter for the Broadband adapter is 12V, 1A. Using a 12V, 1.2A adapter instead will not light up the broadband adapter and it will make a buzzing sound instead. Here is a picture of the 3 lights on the Broadband adapter: http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss236/tpx_bst/Mobile Uploads/20170306_192940_zpsinnqa0so.jpg For the receiver end, If it is not powered, it will not light up. If it has power but there is no communication to the Broadband adapter, you will have 1 green light and 1 blinking orange light. You will not have a link light on your switch until the connection is active. This is different than the Broadband Adapter, which will have an active link to the other end without sync to the receiver. Here is a picture of the power inserter, the DECA Receiver, and the switch. In this image, LAN port 1 connects to a computer, LAN port 7 connects to the DECA Receiver. Startup cost on this is pretty cheap if you don't have some of these parts already. Someone might find it handy.

Why is it, that website needs to have such a crazy URL to get to that story? And even after I got through the link you posted (I put it in the spoiler), I still had to trim the URL four times to get one that wasn't unnecessarily long. But it is along the lines of "information gathering" I think the link you posted goes through a tracking service. And then the resultant link has attributes in it, that the website (dailykos.com in this case) use to track how you got to the site, including some hash value based on something. At least that link I put in your post now shouldn't do that.

Regarding Control Panel, can you still get to it by typing 'control' into the Run box?

Internet via balloon. I think this is an example of what happens when someone has money coming out of their ears.
