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.

It will show which accounts have access to these folders and what permissions they are granted.

Does icacls still work in Windows 10? I tried a command like this: C:\windows\system32>icacls msiexec.exe.log msiexec.exe.log NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F) BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F) BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX) Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

Have you tried changing your useragent?

The software publisher determines how things are allowed to be redistributed through licensing. MS currently only allows their partners to provide downloads of an OS. It is not a general "MS Partner" who can do it, each channel has their own rules. The internet is a big place and yes you can surely find anything on it, but that doesn't mean that lawyers aren't sending out letters to domain owners about the content they find. You can be sure that any website that is strict on warez, redistribution or talk thereof has received letters like this in the past. When it comes down to it, if you really like what you are doing, you have to follow the rules. So really, we may only caution you on what you are doing, but when we are posting like this, it isn't to protect you. It is to protect us. We do not police the internet. Archive password has been removed from your post. Do not re-add it.

The forum rules state that you are not allowed to have multiple accounts. But this wouldn't have been the reason (immediately) why your new account (from last week) was banned. Whatever was posted before, it was seen as being a spam post. Regarding the legality of what is offered... You are not allowed to redistribute any Windows OS image. It is software piracy and the OS is then warez. It does not matter that a person needs a license to use the thing, the software is not yours to give away.

I don't think it can be done. I will use FirstLogonCommnands to run a .cmd, with this inside: wmic useraccount where "name='UserName'" set PasswordExpires=false

There is LTSB for Embedded and also for companies.

Buy the memory for your board, not for the memory type.

There are two LTSB Win10 but I think both are out of reach for a regular user. There is the LTSB Enterprise, and then there is LTSB IoT Enterprise, which is the same really but is an Embedded SKU.

It is likely not simply an ownership issue, I wouldn't be surprised if the file is locked/open by a process. I would run ProcMon and search for that file to see if it is open. And if so then you should be able to close the handle. That will then allow you do delete it.

The "Blue screen" I think we should not use this term to describe the background color seen during boot or shutdown. An old co-worker referred to this as "The Azure Screen of Indifference" in Windows 2000.

Their picture shows the retail box for the Upgrade edition.

Do you have any software installed that can make changes to how Windows appearance works, anything that adds transparency, start menu replacer or add skins to the UI?

So it is an improved version of the Turbo button.

How strict are the browsers you are using? I recall old versions of IE (and others) were more strict on HTML than newer ones are. For example, I went to one KB page and found that there is an error with the Body tag, specifically: "End tag for body seen, but there were unclosed elements" which would make me believe that on a browser that actually following the rules of HTML that the page would not display or display properly. The robots.txt mentioned, is that also what is interfering with being able to view a KB page in Google Translate? Bing Translator won't do it either because it doesn't support secure pages.
