Saukkis posted:PRADA SLUT phrased the question wrong, because Windows does not lock when you disconnect RDP. Windows will lock immediately when you connect with RDP, it will remain locked when you disconnect and I don't know of any way to avoid. You need to use some alternative remote software, or maybe jerryrig Remote Assistance somehow. This is built in. You can have I think two people RDPed into a host at the same time. If you need more than that they'll be more than happy to sell you their Remote Desktop Services product along with a couple grand worth of licenses. I typically use Linux based solutions for low end VDI/RDPish type situations (like putting a client in an environment with a bunch of application that are segmented because you can't secure them properly, i.e. any accounting software or anything written by Oracle).

I've got a problem on my hands, hoping you guys can help. I've got a Win 10 laptop with an image that needs to be duplicated and deployed to several more laptops. This is my first time doing this. I generated an answer file with Windows System Image Manager. I prepped with sysprep and an unattended.xml file using: sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /unattend:Unattended.xml /shutdown After the image was applied to another laptop, it attempted to boot into Windows but had an error along the lines of: quote:Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]. I looked in the setupact.log file and foudn the error was with the ComputerName field: [Shell Unattend]ComputerName: Failed to set the computer name [HR=0X80070057][GLE=0X00000057] I was following a guide that said to use %COMPUTERNAME% to get a randomized name, and I guess that was wrong, I should have used '*' ? Is there any way to take the sysprepped laptop that was generated with the bad unattended answer file and simply import a good one? Or do I have to actually completely reinstall Windows, install Office and other apps, and re-do the sysprep and re-generate the image?

WattsvilleBlues posted:Did anyone on the fast track Insider build have their machine take ages to update to build 16232? Usually it takes about 20 minutes to install and reboot after it's downloaded the new build, but this one took over an hour before it let me reboot. No performance problems other than that though. Didn't take any longer than usual on my Surface Pro 3, but that always takes the best part of an hour to install builds (I guess because of the pathetic hardware) 16232 was the final straw for me though, it literally doesn't work if you have you display language set certain ways so I'm back to the proper release build

I'm having issues with the Windows 10 media creation tool. It keeps erroring out with error "Something went wrong" number: 0XC180010C-0XA0019 Followed the recommended fixes posted online which didn't fix the issue. I've now downloaded the Windows 10 ISO and Googling suggests that tool called Rufus will get that into bootable USB format for me: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ Is it fine and legit?

Is there any good guide available for disabling all of the horseshit in the creator's edition? For example, I turned off security center but now i get a stupid popup when i boot up my computer telling me to turn it back on. I basically want my computer to not try to do things for me and turn off as many ads, useless apps and self-installing crap as possible, including cortana.

I had a fun weekend of installing Windows about 10 times. I have a 2014 Intel NUC I use for a TV computer to play games and watch Netflix. I put Windows 8 on it and upgraded that to Windows 10 when it came out. The SSD died so I put a new SSD in it and installed Windows 10, thinking it should be good to go but it wouldn't activate and it kept giving me oddball errors. Long story short I had to use a tool from Intel to give the system a serial number in the UEFI and install Windows again and it worked just fine.

Microsoft isn't telling you what software to use here, they're making sure you have something running at all. Without the Security Center you would have no idea if Defender or whatever other antivirus you picked stopped working. It also keeps an eye on a few other things and never makes an alert unless it's something actually important. I get that you want to kill all the advertising and stuff but you're being willfully ignorant here, Security Center hasn't changed since Windows 7 at least and if you were killing it back then the same method should still work now.

Gentlemen, calm down. Yes, Defender is fine to catch low hanging fruit. But don't forget that Tavis Ormandy has recently used Defender (twice even, I think in two different exploits) as the infection vector. Basically, you get emailed a file with bad code, Defender scans it and you're infected. However, to MS's credit he disclosed responsibly and they closed those holes quickly. How many other holes he will find is anyone's guess. Moral of the story is, don't be someone a state-level actor would want to exploit.

SinineSiil posted:Something important like a automatic scan found nothing or your display brightness is too high to have best battery life even though your computer is plugged in and isn't even using the built-in screen. Digging into it some more, it appears that the Creator's Update includes a big revamp of Defender as a new app that also features reporting that was previously in the Security and Maintenance framework. I was unaware of this since I haven't gotten the Creator's Update yet, but I'm guessing it's part of their migration of all the old Control Panel options to the new Settings menu. In any case, you can disable the notifications very easily through Settings > System > Notifications & actions without disabling your antivirus entirely.

So I just installed a bunch of Windows updates (Windows 10, OS Build 14393.1358) and it seems to have altered my ability to connect to an intranet site without a trusted certificate - before I got the warning screen that would warn me not to then allow me to click through, now I get "Page cannot be displayed". A different computer on the same network is able to connect, and browsing to the IP instead of the URL still works with the old behavior. (It's a work thing, so I have no direct control over the site, and can't get them to install a proper certificate or fix anything.) Is there a way to go back to the old behavior without (potentially doing nslookup and) using the IP address? Krakkles fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 3, 2017 |

I got some weird poo poo where my Edge window can't be interacted with in most ways. The bar containing forward/back, url bar, etc can be interacted with and tabs can but the entire area where pages get rendered can't be at all (but they are rendered). I also cannot drag the window around but the minimize/max and close icons work. It's not a big deal since I don't really use Edge but I can't figure out whats going on. I don't have any extensions.

Does Windows 10 have some kind of native exposé feature? In Linux (or just gnome desktop maybe) if I hit the Windows key it opens up a layer showing me all of my active windows open in that desktop space; and in macOS there's a touchpad gesture that does this (and I'm sure there's a key combo as well). Can't manage to figure out a way to do this in Windows 10.

Yeah it was things like that that made me want to turn it off. I used to keep it on, but now that action center and security center are merged, if you want to get rid of annoying things like brightness warnings or saving space popups you have to disable the whole thing. Security center is not a virus scanner, it just keeps track of what software you run and energy and brightness levels and whatever. I don't need my computer keeping track of what virus scanner and firewall I run. This is not some highly classified device with all of my personal data on it, it's an old gaming laptop that I'll just format in the off chance that a virus does come through, I just need windows to be fast, resource-low and not in my way. Problem is, even if you disable it, you get warning messages from somewhere telling you to reenable it, which I haven't found a way to get rid of.

My computer was acting super weird so I restarted it and it updated. From the update log it looks like it tried almost 15 times to do Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 for Windows 10 Version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 for x64 (KB3186568) And failed every time. That's the only thing in the log for todays date. What is happening. And for other dates there's a mix of failed and successful ones. No idea why any are failing. It also doesn't even alert you that anything failed. I would never have known anything was wrong if it wasn't for my hateboner over 10 compelling me to look at the log to see what shifty poo poo was installed this time. drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jul 5, 2017 |

Microsoft isn't keeping tabs on your antivirus to just to protect your files, it's to prevent you from becoming a transmission vector or part of a botnet and adding to problems for everyone else. How you personally use the PC is irrelevant in that context. This is like the anti-vaccination of the computing world, you can technically do fine without it but the mindset causes huge problems down the road.

How you personally use the PC is irrelevant in that context. Except I do run an antivirus program and firewall, I just don't want to be bugged by a nosy popup message generator designed for the kind of users who don't know what antivirus even is. We all know that part of the reason why WIndows increasingly adds features that can't be turned off and try to manage all aspects of how you run your computer (including the move from traditional programs to apps that can only be removed in powershell if at all), is to control how users use their computer, not because these features are good for everybody who runs Windows. Removing the user's control serves the purpose of embedding more ads that are increasingly harder to get rid of. The latest step was to merge action center and security center, the next step is probably to remove control panel and merge it with the settings app so your PC becomes a glorified smartphone, and to embed security center/action center in that. Ultimately they'll probably try to force people to use Windows Store to install anything at all. In that context, what's wrong with trying to retain control of what your computer does?
