I noticed your avatar disappeared, are you not able to upload it again? We don't delete accounts, especially ones with as many posts as you have here.

Dibya, edit your previous post if you need to reply and you are the last to reply within 24 hours. See forum rules for details.

That process of letting it install and declining the EULA is not a good idea. I see many people have problems where the install does not even work and even going back does something to damage their OS in a way where neither Windows 10 nor their previous version is workable.

Here is the "known issue" on technet: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d52d01d3-d1db-42d1-9bf3-fe936739720f/windows-10-taskbar-issues-build-rs1release-14271-enterprise?forum=win10itprogeneral If you set to display all notification icons and more than 4 tray icons, it breaks the UI.

Having read somewhere, a response from IPS regarding the removal of BBCode in the original 4.0 that came out last year. Their reckoning was that BBCode was needed in days before WYSIWYG editors, but now that WYSIWYG editors are here then they do not need to rely on them so much. They seem to forget that people learn to type a certain way, like those who learned to type on T9 on a phone. It isn't simply "just click this button instead" for people like us. I've been typing in bbcode on forums for over 15 years now. To type in img or url or whatever, I type it in manually. Maybe they had expected people were clicking buttons on toolbars that automatically did the bbcode for them? Either way, it is silly to change to a new system that doesn't build upon the previous (bbcode) system.

All (active) moderators should have the appropriate permissions in their forums now.

I will look into getting your permissions restored. And yes, for now do not edit old posts that have quote or code tags in it (I posted this as a status update) because it will bork your post. We can wait for now and see about making it so the forum doesn't destroy a post when doing this.

First post seems important, how to view content? The unread content button up top is really the place to change your stream settings now, because by default it probably shows you more than you want to see. Above that on the main menu bar is an Activity button. That is where you get to see your custom content views. Here are a couple pics:

The profile now has a cover photo option like there are on social media sites like Twitter or Facebook. After playing around, I was able to build a template for my screen resolution which is 1680x1050 on this computer. I do not know how it will look on other resolutions yet, so this might not be of any use. The forum uses a single image to show in 2 sizes. The profile page looks to use 1300x265 while the hover profile uses 436x85. I have made a template to show the used areas for both views. One problem with designing a cover is that you likely do not want to use text. Here is the regular template image that I have as my forum cover photo. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/Tripredacus/news_icons/msfn_cover_zps3rxjmntu.jpg Here is a transparent one that can be used as an overlay for testing out cover photos. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/Tripredacus/news_icons/msfn_cover_transparent_zpsfbgrsrgm.png

In situations like that, if the price is right, you buy for the hardware.

BCDEdit by itself will act upon the store of the booted OS, if it exists.* So if you boot into WinRE and run BCDEdit, you will see the BCD as it applies to WinRE. To read the BCD for the OS, point to the location of the system partition. Do this using the /Store switch. Regarding your partition question, I believe that it is a standard practice to put boot files on the first visible partition on a disk. In situations where the System Partition is not Part1 (such as in some Win8/10 deployments) the actual first partition is marked as hidden. We are talking about multi-boot scenarios. Say for example a critical part of the OS or boot file on the OS Partition were deleted or corrupted. In a single boot scenario, you would then be required to boot off something else like CD or USB to fix it. But if your boot files are kept on a separate partition, your OS can go south and you can still boot into WinRE or whatever else. And technically you could delete you OS volume, boot to WinRE and then use Setup to install Windows back to that location again.

USB? PS/2? DIN to PS/2 adapter? Other adapter?

The error would indicate a file was locked or being used by another process that System Restore wanted to use. I guess we'll never know what was using it.

Even the newer recovery in Windows 8 or 10 does not make any changes to the partitions. Why would it need to be deleted? It is just a container. AFAIK Windows 7 recovery will always backup to the windows.old and this can't be disabled. So you can run into a problem if you are low on space on that volume due to files or small disk size. I've not done anything with bootkey before. Only use the default F8 (Repair your computer) or running recovery from Control Panel. For times when I need to recover a custom image using an answer file, I use FactoryRecoveryTool. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142990-installing-windows-7-from-recovery-partition/#entry918385

This big thread here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173752-how-to-avoid-being-upgraded-to-win-10-against-your-will/

I had read something early on that MS has made it so the Windows 10 upgrade would work on invalid licenses on purpose. It is not surprising, but a side effect is that people who go back from Windows 10 end up with their previous OS in Notification Mode. It seems there are a lot of incorrectly licensed systems out in the real world owned by people who have no idea about such things. So many shady companies selling computers with warez or even KMS licensed OS.

For me that option is not available. If I toggle the text input to plain text and back, then I can click that button but only if I do not click in the reply box. When I do it says this: I tested it out and I don't see a reason for that button. It just pastes text into quick reply the same as if I did it myself with Ctrl+V. Are you making a post with different colors or text formatting?

Did you post about this on Technet? I think I may have seen it or a similar topic earlier today. There is this public information: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744280(v=ws.10).aspx In general, I can say that the Boot files go in the System partition, winre.wim in the recovery partition. I do not use this method, so I do not know what the details of it are. For the method I am familiar with, the process works by backing up the OS volume (in parts I believe) to windows.old, removing the files outside of that folder, and then uses Setup to install Windows using the recovery image to that volume. It does not remove partitions nor should it. If you want a system that removes partitions, then you will have to use a recovery method that does not load anything off the hard drive.

I fixed your topic title. When you make future topics, try to be more descriptive.

If you are booting off PXE, the boot entries files are kept on the server. For example, if you were using WDS on Server 2008 or newer, you can change the BCD on the server to change settings relating to the WinPE. See if setting scratch-space on image helps. See here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799261%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

It could just be an indication that a virus had once been on the system, not that there is one now. Or it could be nothing. Its hard to tell when searching for things online. Most people consider reinstalling Windows to be a fix. When you first setup Windows, going through OOBE you should choose to not install Updates. The OOBE screen only gives 3 choices, rather than the full options you get when you go into the Update settings. Choosing either of the 2 green options will make Windows Update search for updates to install.

The first one is printer drivers. The second I can't find much except people who had a virus on the computer.Did you run SFC because you were experiencing another problem, or just for funs?

Mine has 3 services that are started: Remote Desktop Configuration Remote Desktop Services Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector

Post a link to your CBS.log along with the date/time when you tried to run SFC so relevant info can be found easier.
