To change Cortana's default music player (to replace Groove Music with another player of your choice) Open Default Programs Click Associate a file type..... Find wpl file extension & change its program to the player of your choice But I just created a new text document, renamed to .wpl, right clicked and opened with VLC setting it as the default program for wpl. My first go with it I started me: Hey Cortana, play Shiina Ringo Cortana: Revolting Cocks - Linger Ficken Good Close but no cigar. e: this is with straight VLC not from the windows store e2: crap i somehow missed the part where you did this, nevermind e3: to make this a real post twice now my laptop has come out of sleep with no access to the taskbar. From start button over to the notifications. My only option was right clicking on the start button to log out and start over. OgNar fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Irritated Goat posted:I have an odd usage question. I'm not even sure if it's possible. Open all of those pages you want started, open Chrome settings, "On Startup" section click on set pages, then current pages. Desktop 2 is beyond me ATM. I don't understand why Windows 10 couldn't have text suggestion built in and usable by any program. I should be able to use notepad or even create a new folder and have it know what I am typing. My Android knows that when I type Los that Angeles is next, why cant Windows?

Can you tell me how to get that battery meter? I've been searching for one but no luck.

Srebrenica Surprise posted:I gave a link up the page if you missed it! Another thing is you can shrink it if you shrink the font on the battery (I put it at 9pt) but since the taskbar doesn't handle a single column of icons very well it's kind of moot in making the taskbar skinnier. I must have missed it while I was searching how to do it. And Thank you very much

For some reason ever since I updated to Windows 10 it has repeatedly told me that every one of my flash drives/sd cards was borked and it wanted to scan and fix them. Especially my ipod. Sometimes I even let it do it. Even though they are all working fine. So of course i forgot to pop the sd card out before updating my laptop. Added an extra 30mins onto the update making it a total of 2 hours. No extra crap except for the skype preview which I uninstalled again.

Just found something called FLEXnet Connect Software Manager in my startup tab. Seems to be connected with installshield. I havent really installed anything lately that would have put it there. I wonder if it has been there but hidden and the update just made it visible.

How can I do windows updates when I want to do them? I am on a laptop and sometimes my only option is to put it to sleep because its either update or sleep. And I may not turn it back on for a few days and it will still drain power in sleep. Not a good option. Twice I was on the beach on my bike and it was starting to rain. Shutdown? gently caress you, lets update. I had to walk my bike for over an hour with a trashbag over my laptop. Telling it to do the update tomorrow doesnt work, if I start to shut down its just going to do the update anyway?

fishmech posted:Why aren't you using hibernate? It uses 0 power once the process finishes, and won't cause updates to install. I see the options to sign out, sleep, update and shut down or update and restart. No hibernate. Also I dont live inside and get power off of solar. When it rains for a few days, no power. And that is ALWAYS when windows 10 wants to do a update.

fishmech posted:This will add it to the menu, but you can also rebind the power/sleep buttons to Hibernate once it's enabled, as opposed to being power or sleep: I actually did a quick search and found the hibernate option just before you posted this. I am actually set to hibernate after 3 hours. But even still I wouldnt want it doing the update while its folded and shoved in my bag. Which is fairly waterproofed because I do live outside. Meaning it will be loving cooking for an hour or so. There really should be an option to simply shut down and do the when it is more convenient. But I will give you link a try and see if it is better than sleep. ie uses less power. e:Also, thanks for the suggestion. OgNar fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 4, 2016 |

Khablam posted:Alt+F4 from the desktop still gives you the same dialog it has since Windows 95. You can select shut down from here independently of shut down & update. Not for me. But thanks for that tip. e: You know I dont think I have used that way to shut down since 98. Completely forgot about it. OgNar fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Sep 4, 2016 |

UglyCrackBaby posted:Sign out first and then shut down. Tried this and switch user, neither gives me power options on screen just wifi and narrator. Also Ctrl+alt+del the power button on the lower right used to bypass updates but no longer does. I have done quite a but of searching and it seems they have simply taken this option out. I am down to this link which tells how to disable auto updates and then I will have to set a schedule to do it manually.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Honestly, if it was starting to rain, I went to shut my laptop down, and saw the goddamn "Update and shut down" option, I'd just hard-off it. Yeah but I was worried and rushing and made a wrong decision. Luckily the last time it was only a light rain. Also just tried shutdown -s -t 00 which I got off of some website. But it looks like they took the option out of that also. So I did this last update. Was hoping to figure it out while I had this update from Friday hanging there. Thanks for the help. e:oh snap. Cant disable auto updating because my edition doesnt have group policy editor. OgNar fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Sep 4, 2016 |

Khablam posted:You disable the service. Which doesnt allow you to check for updates at all. It gives just error 0x80070422, which googling tells me the fix is to make sure windows update is on. Which I am willing to do. Beats getting stuck with a forced update at inopportune times.

A good poster posted:Can't you enable the update service as easily as you can disable it? Factor Mystic posted:Nah this works fine. If it works for you then I think maybe because I have the Home version it is disabled for me. Since Home is generally considered the lovely version. I assume you have Pro or Enterprise. I bought my laptop through one of the Dell deals and got what came with it, no selections. Took me until now to remember that I have the Home version, So I get less options "just because".

Factor Mystic posted:True, I did test it on a Pro VM. I'm surprised that's not something available in Home. You used the /s flag, right? (Didn't say in your last post). I didnt but I can give it a try the next time an update comes out. I will assume its the same though. Since all the other options everyone says are there but I dont see them at all. Khablam posted:Home edition ironically limiting if you have no home. If they still had their offices on Broadway in Santa Monica I would egg their windows.  But I think they moved in the last few months.
