Some good news for a change: the next version of 10 is splitting up Search and Cortana! God knows when it'll happen since October 1809 has just now been re-released into automatic rolling updates. Maybe 2019 will have just one update? I'd be fine with that.

What’s the easiest way to share some files and folders on the same network? 3 computers, all Win10. I feel like I should be able to figure this out but I know it has changed a couple times in the Win10 lifetime.

On the PC with all the stuff, I shared one folder with the group of everyone. I checked \\localhost, it is shared. To be thorough, I then rebooted all machines. On the “This PC” view of computer #2, I can see the share. But it says blah blah is denying access to the share, contact them, etc etc”. crestfallen fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jan 17, 2019 |

No, but for those of use who don't have Enterprise or Edu maybe it's a sign that we can join you in being Cortana-less. I've tried to remove cortana from regular 10 Pro before, and it's just too much of a hack when you do it the brute force way. Start menu gets kinda broken, stuff like that. I'm hopeful that by splitting Search off that won't happen anymore.

Is there any general tips for Windows 10 to 10 SMB file shares? I have two computers, no domain or anything and at the latest patch level and often times after a day or so one of them will be inaccessible to the other until the server in the exchange gets a reboot. This seems to only have started happening in the last month :-(

crestfallen posted:D’oh. Thank you! Share that one folder, but give access to the specific account(s) rather than just "everyone" (which might only be accounts local to the host machine.) In my case I sign into my PCs with my "Atomizer" Windows account, and explicitly give myself access to the relevant shared folders. Even if I'm prompted for access on one of the remote machines, I just have to supply my account credentials and then it works exactly as expected.

Start using IP address in your UNC paths, not host names. Don't try to rely on network browsing anymore.

Nothing besides stock Windows firewall on any machine. I’m not sure how to check for private vs public, I’ll figure that out. That’s a good tip. Also a good tip about the user / credentials. I can try that too.

Yeah, the most straightforward way may be to use local credentials on the remote machine. On the computer you're sharing from, create a share - permissions don't matter. Also on the computer sharing, create a local account and drop it in the administrators group. Then when you try to connect to the share, use "remotecomputer\localadmin" to authenticate.

I don't think there is anything hacky about not having Cortana. At the moment it's not available in my language so I just don't have it. All "normal" functionality of search and indexing works. Settings => Time & Language => Language: Is set to English (New Zealand)  In Settings => Search => Language: No Cortana   You could probably set the language to New Zealand English if you wanted an easy work around? Just make sure the region/time settings stay as US (Settings => Time & Language => Region) so you can continue to see the date in the dumb wrong way.

The hacky way to not have cortana: actually removing it using the appx package commands in powershell. Trust me, it's bad. Parts of the start menu stop working.

Run the following command: Get-NetConnectionProfile See the network name you want to change its type 3. Run the following command: Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name "ITT" -NetworkCategory Private Where ITT is the name of your network and you can change the -NetworkCategory switch value to Public or Private. If at step 2 the profile is already set to private, this is not your problem and you should look elsewhere.

You should be able to view it as normal via Control Panel => Network and Sharing Center, but I think one of the more recent Windows 10 updates hid/removed the setting to change it? I rememberi having to Google and go through the Network Diagnostic Wizard to change it over to private?  That Get and Set NetConnectionProfile commandlets seem like a much more straightforward way to do it though thanks.

Easiest way to do this is open a Explorer folder window and click on 'Network'. If you get a drop down yellow bar saying you need to open firewalls, click that drop down and it will set you in Private mode with no fuckery.

I'll probably format and reinstall 2019 LTSC on my main PC regardless at some point but why the huge difference? How much is Microsoft cramming into these releases?

Isn't 2018/2019 LTSC 18.09? That's just a mistake, at least for another few months. Condolences to those whose processors are not supported by the last LTSB.

I'm still on Windows 10 Professional 1803 and browsed through my "Uninstall or change a program" list. Saw KB4023057 listed there which is odd because no other KBs are in this list. Looked it up online and found this: https://www.neowin.net/news/fix-for-windows-10-failing-to-install-kb4023057-update-because-it-is-already-installed/ Awesome.

So I notice lots of DCOM activation errors regarding Immersive Shell stuff in my event log. Looking up the GUIDs on Google, this should goes back for years. With the same few bunch of GUIDs. How in the gently caress isn't there a tool from Microsoft to fix this, since it's some access rights bullshit?

Wow, just wow. Now all UWP crap broke. Explorer complains about "Class not Registered", the start menu doesn't work. I'm so tired of that poo poo. --edit: loving flimsy piece of poo poo operating system. --edit: Wow, ShellExperienceHost got deregistered somehow, and it breaks half the system, because a lot of poo poo got moved to UWP. And I have no clue on how to "reinstall" it. Seriously, if this component is make or break, why is there no mechanism to prevent it from getting hosed up?

Couple years ago I also had something break in an update in a similar fashion (anything UWP based was effectively hosed) and I had to flatten because a refresh didn't fix it. Could've been related to that system running an upgrade installation from 8 though, no problems after that

Mine progressively degraded until the only UWP app that still worked was Settings... Refresh did nothing. Then one of the big updates came out a few weeks later and that fixed everything. So Combat Pretzel, you could try updating to 1809!

I am on 1809 since it went RTM the first time around. System Restore fixed it luckily. That said, with what files does System Restore gently caress around with? I just noticed the copy of my 3D printer configuration file in the Documents folder reverted (filename ends in .cfg if that matters). Pretty sure it got touched, because some values reverted and last write time is Jan 17, despite having changed and saved it, and then and scp'd things to my RPi today. And latter has the new values. --edit: According to some TechNet forum talk, .cfg files are monitored and backed up. Glad I noticed. Apparently all these extensions are saved in a restore point: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/sr/monitored-file-extensions Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jan 21, 2019 |

For the longest time now, I thought that there was something wrong with my Realtek audio drivers that would keep re-loving themselves despite every reinstallation. I even consigned what was probably a perfectly good AT-2100 to the recycle because I thought IT had broken, and not Windows itself. I figured it out. =E  THIS. MOTHERFUCKING. SETTING. RIGHT. HERE. Is the reason why I consigned about a hundred dollars worth of audio equipment to an early grave.  They lied when it said that it doesn't block Windows. It totally blocks Windows.

FWIW, Discord is also pretty picky about changing audio settings; often you have to restart it anyway, so if you've added/removed some audio hardware expect to have to restart Discord even if you've properly changed the audio settings in it.

that is a UI nightmare right there. "does not block Windows" is so ambiguous. Plus, why would you want to block everything except Windows? If you need to disable the microphone entirely for security reasons, then why would you even let "Windows" have access? What does "Windows" mean? Cortana? But Cortana isn't "Windows".... it's.. Cortana? Old school sound recording app? Not techincally "Windows" either? What are they referring to here?

If I'd been in your position I'd have been screaming motherfucker too. Just tried turning that on myself, audacity gives an error message (not a super helpful one, but at least indicating a software issue) when trying to use the record button. Sucks that whichever program you were using didn't give you any feedback.
